Prime Minister Winston Churchill ‘was working with his chiefs of staff. For the first time since their arrival, there was no staff officer taking a morning promenade along the Dufferin terrace. Instead they went to work immediately after breakfast. (It was learned on competent au- ¢ thority in Washington that the American and British military staffs at work in Quebec were drawing up an entirely new set of war plans y 10d submit to Mr, Roosevelt and the !. prime minister. This did not mean, it was said, that there had been any ‘change in the c strategy of the allles—Germany first, then Japan.) Churchill returned here yesterday and it was revealed by the White guse In Washington that he and IF. Roosevelt had been together three days at the Roosevelt te at Hyde Park. Mr. RooseWelt was back in Washington.

7 Meeting Was Social

It was presumed that the two leaders had had preliminary talks at Hyde Park, but the presence of Mrs. Rooseveli and Churchill’s daughter, Mary, suggested that the sial had been at least one reason “for their meeting there. Within three minutes after returning to the historic citadel, a . British spokesman said, Churchill \owas in the map room, busily at work. e later saw Canadian Prime Minster MacKenzie King and the Britchiefs of staff. Sir John Dill, ‘had of the joint staff mission in Washington, also arrived.’ Week-end developments made clear the wide field to be covered hy. the conference. Among them ‘was the definite disclosure that British Foreign Secretary Anthony . Eden would be here, which caused many to feel that United States " Secretary of State Cordell Hull or ‘ Under-secretary Sumner Welles would come too.

LONDON, Aug. 16 (U. P.).—A Rome dispatch published in Sweden said today that the Italians are rushing evacuation of military material from Rome at a “feverish” pace in an attempt to make the capital an open city. “Very considerable quantities” of war material, including war ministry archives, already have been removetl, the dispatch, published in Stockholm’s Svenska Dagbladet, reported. The Italian government on -Saturday announced its intention of ‘declaring Rome an open city to

or many of the other easy-money emes. Failing in that, it is known that the gambling interésts sought to by-pass the chief and approach some of the sub-executives in the police department. Chief Beeker hinted that the recent shifts in department personnel might have had something to' do with attempts to deal with his underlings. If Chief Becker is fired within the next few weeks as his critics insist,” Mayor Tyndall admittedly will have backed down on some of his biggest ;platform planks.

preceding 60-day period was engaged in an essential or locallyneeded activity, may be hired only if such hiring would aid in the effective prosecution of the war.” The full meaning of this provision came in the WMC's own interpretation of the new order through the medium of a list of questions and answers it issued today. It said: “If he (a worker) accepts any job in violation of the employment stabilization program, whether or not at a higher rate of pay, he may lose that job and be Ynabie to get another for 60 days.” Thus, if John Jones ott a lathe in one shop to work at. a lathe in another shop at the same wages or less money, and the WMC believed he had not lived up to the letter of

second employer to fire him and tell Jones he. could not work anywhere else for 60 days.

To Increase Production

The new manpower program is designed to increase war production, give the armed forces the men they need, and will have a major effect in determining which fathers and workers will be inducted first when the induction’ of fathers begins. The new orders established a list of 149 critical occupations and men enaged in such occupations in essential industries were assured of virtual draft exemption.: Provision also was made that any man with such a critical skill but who was not engaged in essential work by .Oct. 1 would lose further claim to occupational deferment. McNutt broadened to 60 specific occupations and all occupations in 58 activities the number of jobs which he terms non-deferable. Any draft-age man who fails to transfer from such jobs to one of an essential nature will be placed first on the list for induction, thereby insuring that the first fathers drafted would be those contributing least to the war effort. McNutt instructed local draft boards to give greater attention than ever be-| fore to occupational ‘deferments; considering the actual and immedi-

There was no immediate report of whether this morning’s air alert in Milan was followed by a raid. However, frontier reports said Italian fighter planes took off. Though: the air ministry did not indicate the weight of last night's raid, the frontier reports asserted it was the heaviest so far on Italy's
