Expectel
ent Allied invadidaTi^ l^rope
mounted in London last
night, fanned by rumors
which ranged from public
gossip to speculation in mili
tary and diplomatic quar
ters.
Prime Minister Winston Churc
hill's return to London after con
ferences of obviously major im
port in Washington and North
Africa, the continued Idleness of
the R. A. F. and American bomb
ers in Engknd, and the know
ledge that perhaps a million Al
lied troops are poised along the
south shore of the Mediterranean
caused popular belief that the in
vasion signol might be given at
any time.
Some reports said that Churchill
had gone over the final details of
the invasion with Allied military
leaders In North Africa, putting
the last touches on the plans laid
down at the Casablanca confer
ence, and that ail was now in
readiness.
There seemed little doubt that
the pre-invasion sparring and the
alignment of the great forces that
will carry out the assault were
rapidly drawing to a close.
At least five powerful armies,
the American Fifth and the Brit
ish First, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth
are drawing up along the south
shore of the Mediterranean. In
position to strike at any or all of
a score of Axis strongpoints.
