Quebec, A«. 10. (UP)—
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill arrived here today
for another series of war con-
ferences, first with Canadian
leaders and later with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at which they
will plan the next, and per-
haps final blow against Hit-
ler's tottering European fort-
ress.
The time and place of his
meeting with Roosevelt was
not disclosed, although the
president confirmed in Wash-
ington that he expected to
taeet with the British prime
minister.
Churchill’s arrival was an-
nounced by Canadian Prime
Minister W. L. MacKentie
King, who said that Churchill
would be the guest of the
Canadian government, and
that he would have “discus-
sions with Mr. MacKenzie
King and later on will attend
conferences with President
Roosevelt and the combined
chiefs of staff of the United
States and the United King-
dom.”
For days such conferences
had been predicted due to the
obvious urgency for fresh joint
consideration of reeent global
developments.
Among them were:

Whenever and wherever
Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill
meet, there was every reason
to believe that this would he
among the most important of
all their conferences. There
have been five previous meet-
ings. The most pressing ques-
tion appeared to be how best
to capitalize on the sudden
military advantages that
have come to the Allies.
Included also would be con-
sideration of Italy’s possible
early withdrawal from the
war; continued Russian dissat-
isfaction with the Allied fail-
ure thus far to open a land
front on the European contin-
ent; the apparent widening
breach between Nasi leaders
and in general, means for
shortening the gap between
the Allied planning stage and
actual military operations.

ment, in connection with Mac-
Kenzie King’s communique
today, said that Churchill is

Hie Red Army drove to within
11 miles of Kharkov today
and brought the city’s trunk
railroad to the west under fire,

There were indications that
the Germans already had be-

The latest threat to the al-

city, fanned southward and

—Secretary of State Cordell
Roll today warned against a
too optimistic viewpoint
garding recent Allied vic-
tories.
Bull said at his news con-
ference that it was more dan-
gerous to underestimate the
duration of the fighting than
to overestimate it Receipt of
good reports should cause us
to redouble our efforts to crush
the enemy and shorten the war

Pan! V. McNutt
Flans to call all possible
other men before calling pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers were
announced with a new direc-
tive to state selective service

The effect of the new direc-
tive is to create a nationwide
re_1 pool id eligible non-fathers
from which succeeding quotes
will be drawn before the fa-
thers of children born prior to
September 15, 1942.
Meanwhile state quota calls
by selective service will be ad-
justed to call tor greater in-
ductions in states which have
large pools of eligible non-fa-
thers while other states have
very few men in tilts category.
