-ioupu WINSTON CHURCHILL IN UNITED STATES Churchill - Roose velt Meet Again London, Tuesday, Dec. 23. ? Prime Minister Churchill and his party, now conferring in Wash ington with American leaders pn grand strategy to win the ,.war. left for the United States capital! t'he night of December 12 amid extreme secrecy aboard a black ed-out train, it was revealed to day. No one was permitted on the railroad station platform and i only a few officials knew they had gone. Lord Beaverbrook, supply minister; W. Averell Harriman.i American lend-lease coordinator; i Sir Dudley Pound, first sea lord; Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles P. A. Portal, and Sir John Dill, for mer chief of the imperial general staff and now governor of Bom bay, were in the party. Ill-Kept Secret It was reported that the ques Mon would be raised at the Wash ington conference of using lend lease aid as a "lever" In connec tion with requests for the use of certain strategic localities Vladi vostok. This question is said to have caused the most' preliminary discussions among American and British officials. Although news of Churchill's trip was carefully guarded from the public as a whole, it was an other ill-kept secret, as was his trip to ilieet Roosevelt at- sea last August. At first, diplomats wondered whether another Roosevelt-Chur chill meeting. cutMng right across British-Soviet negotiations 1 n Moscow, would offend the Rus sians. But this apprehension seemed to have been dispelled. The Anglo-Russian discussions were arranged before Japan start ed the war in tihe Pacific. The Roosevelt - Churchill conference was decided upon immediately af ter the United States declared war. There was every Indication that the Russians not only understood but welcomed the coordination of Anglo-American strategy which Is expected to emerge from the Washington consultations. Moscow Favorable Moscow's favorable aMltude, however, Is predicted on the be lief that the Washington talks are a prelude to the creation of unified strategy among Washing ton, London, Moscow, Chungking and Batnvla. o PROGRAM AT THE LOUISBURG THEATRE The following Is the program at the Loulsburg Theatre, begin ning Saturday, Dec. 27: Saturday ?

RED CROSS Comment on Red Cross activi ties, Dr. A. Paul Bagby, General Chairman of the Louisburg Franklin County chapter, said this week that the Annual Roll Call, cohipleted December 1, would to tal $900 and would mark the en rollment of 750 persons ? 120 more than last year. According to Dr. Bagby, the Roll Call this year was a marked success since there was a substantial Increase in enrollment of adult members as well as in the Junior Red Cross division. Remarking that> the goal of $2,000 for the emergency War Relief fund was more than half won by virtue of the generous giving of $25 donations by more than half-a-hundred local people. Dr.. Bagby urged those who have not given to the war relief fund to give now In eit-her ten or five idollar donations in order that the $2,000 goal could be reached or oversubscribed by January 1. "This money we are giving," Dr. Bagby ?a4d, "is for our own civilians and armed forces." "The time may come In the near future when the Red Cross may be doing relief work among bom bed out civilians right here on tlye continent' just as the work is be ing carried on in Hawaii or the Philippines right now. We sin cerely hope this may not be the case but it is possible and the Red Cross will be prepared," Dr. Bag by said. James K.
