Nazis Order French People
Out Of Channel Coast Area
By United Press
The German occupation authorities have ordered evacua-
tion of civilians from the French channel coast, the British
radio reported today.
The Dieppe-Boulogne area and certain regions on the Bel-
gian coast were ordered evacuated, the broadcast said, pre-
sumably in connection with recent defense preparations
against the threat of Allied invasion.
Conferences of Prime Minister Winston Church with Pres-
ident Roosevelt assumed greatest significance today as the
Allies battle to stem dangerous Axis thrusts at the Russian
and Egyptian fronts guarding key
Middle Eastern oil fields and
communications lines.
All of the strength that the
United Nations can muster may
be needed in the Mediterranean
and Black Sea areas instead of ou

probably. Increased U. S. aid in
the Middle East where the Nazis |
are driving hard toward Egypt.
Churchill's arrival with hla rank-
ing war leaders was announced by
the White House last night In the
statement that the talks between
the Anglo-American leaders would
deal with the “conduct of the war
and the winning of the war.”
The question of a second front
on the European continent was
uppermost in Washington specu-
lation on the precise nature of
their conversations, in view of the
virtual promise to Russia by the
U. S. and Britain to create such a
front. But serious British reverses
in Libya were causing great con-
cern here and in London because
of their immediate importance in
the Allied struggle for control of
the Mediterranean.
