ooseveii Wiies To B To Cornier WZS-S-JL JH1L Free French Make Plans To Unite Rommel Rear Line Menaced by Allies CASABLANCA, Jan. 24 (de layed) (UP)- President Roose velt flew here ten days ago for an unprecedented battle-theater conference with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and an nounced at its conclusion today that the United Nations had laid plans for swift, total destruction of axis war power and for the npmv's "unconditional surren- der." One of the first fruits of the historic conference was the bringing about of a successful parallel between General De- Gaulle of the fighting French and General Henri Honore Giraud, high commissioner of French Africa. The French leaders announced in a joint statement that they were in full agreement that the goal of liberating their home land will be reached "by a union in war of all Frenchmen fighting side by side with their allies.'' Mr. Roosevelt flew the Atlantic by clipper and proceeded from the north African port to defense bristling Casablanca in a four- engined bomber for his meeting with Churchill, and with virtual ly every top personage in both the British and American mili tary commands. He thus became the first United States president to fly while in office and the first to leave the nation while it was at war. Mr. Roosevelt and the Prime Minister discussed their most dramatic of four meetings, which started with the Atlantic Charter talks which began in August 1941, as a press conference held in an exotic garden behind a gleaming white villa where cor respondents sat on the grass at the meeting of allied leaders. - "A goal of quick extermination of axis ability to wage war will be achieved even if it costs every last resource of the allied world," Mr. Roosevelt said, "and because peace can only be realized through utter capitulation of the enemy, this conference will he known as the 'unconditional sur render' conference," recalling the nick-name of General U. S. Grant. The president said that the Al lied combined staff had complet ed their work and had a meeting of "minds" of military operations for 1943 making him confident that 1943 will be a much better year than 1942. Stalin Not Present He revealed that Premier Jo seph Stalin of Russia had to de cline an invite to the confer ence because he was busy direct ing the Soviet offensive but was . kept closely informed of all de velopments. "The United Nations will send all possible material aid to Rus sia and help cut down German manpower and equipment, and will give all possible aid to China's heroic struggle in order to end forever Japan's attempt to dominate the far east," the pres ident said. He added that the United Na tions had no intention of harm ing the people of Axis countries. A grim setting to the meeting was provided by Casablanca's tremendously strengthened , anti aircraft defenses and strong guard reenforcements around the villa, sections from which a number of families had been evacuated. A swimming pool in the villa garden had been con verted into an airraid shelter, (UNDATED) (UP) The announced agreement between See NEWS BRIEFS, pag INSIDE Voters want the answers . . .

Continuing his tour through the heavens, Dr. Harlow Shap ley in his second McNair lecture last night brought home the vast units of time through which our universe has existed. "Exploring the majesty of the universe inspires man," said Shapley, using lantern slides of many astral phenomena and evo lutionary scenes to fully present the imposing age of the heavenly systems. The Sun, according to the Harvard astronomer, has re mained much the same during hundreds of millions of years. As proof of this, he showed that plant and animal life much like present day civilization existed in pre-historic time. Tnose who trace tneir an cestry back to Jamestown or Plymouth Rock should consider the cockroach whose ancestors inhabited this earth 200,000 years ago.

Speaking fluent English in the soft tongue of the Spaniard, Miss Aleman says that she and her colleagues came to Chapel Hill to study English teaching methods under the auspices &f the Department of the Interior. They selected Chapel Hill be cause it had a fine climate sim ilar to that of Mexico, she sur mised with a half smile, and be cause it has such a wide field of courses. In an effort to learn better methods for teaching English, for understanding Americans and to improve international re lations, the Mexican and United States educational bureaus are inaugurating these "summer school" expeditions. Miss Ale man and her colleagues are the first group to arrive in the Unit ed States, but later American teachers will visit Mexico to study Spanish.
