The meetings wore held in a
losely-guarded, barbed-wire-sur-

mediately came to start the meet
ings. The first began at 7 o'clock in the
evening of January 14, and lasted
until three o'clock the next morn
ing. President Roosevelt met corres
ondents in the garden of his villa
Sunday afternoon.
Protecting American fighters and
Spitfires roared overhead as the
conference was held. The only wo
man present was WAAC Captain
Louise Anderson of Denver, Colo.,
a stenographer from Lieut. Gen!
Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquar
ters. Hopkins was among the first to
arrive, along with the president's
flying son, Lieut. Col. Elliott Roose
velt, who was wearing the Distin
guished Flying Cross recently aw
arded him.
While the president's envoy, Rob

clad in French army uniforms, ap
peared irom the president s quar
ters. They were closely followed
by Roosevelt himself, wearing a
light grey suit with the usual ciga
ret rolder held at a jaunty angle.
Churchill, in a dark grey suit
and with the inevitable cigar, fol
lowed them to the four chairs in
the garden.
As DeGaulle and Giraud shook
hands for the benefit of photo
graphers, the president opined that
it was a momentous moment.
Giraud and DeGaulle immediate
ly went back into the house and
the press conference began.
While the prime minister nodded
assent, the president said the con
ference had reached "complete
agreement" on war plans for 1943
to bring about the ''unconditional
surrender" of the axis nations.
The president and prime minister
both said the allies were deter
mined to maintain the battle initia
tive in every part of the world, and
that theater by theater every cam
paign had been discussed.
This was taken to mean that
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief-of-staff
of the U. S. armv, Gen Sir
Alan Brooke, chief of the imperial
general staff, Adm. Ernest J. King.
commander-in-chief of the U. S.
navy, and Admiral of the British
Fleet, Sir Dudley Pound along with
other generals had mapped invas
ion plans and probably also picked
the generals for such field com
mands. The president said the meetings
in the past 10 days had been un
precedented in history, while the
prime minister chimed in to add
that they surpassed anything in
his World War I experience.
One of the main decisions of the
conference was to lend all material
aid to the Russians, who are drain
ing German manpower and war
materials, the president said, and
he added that China was to get a
full measure to help to end forever

A dealer that used 100 gallons last February will

the Japamse attempt to dominate
the Far East.
All resources of the united na
tions have been pooled an will be
administered according to one gen
eral plan decided upon at the con
ference, the president said, but he
gave no hint of when or where the
military strength of the united na
tions would smash against the axis.
The president and prime minister
stressed the strength of their
friendship and Churchill said noth
ing had ever come between him
and the president.
In speaking of the allied landings
in North Africa, the prime minis
ter, after the president had fin
ished the first part of the confer
ence, said this great enterprise had
altered the whole strategy of the
war and given the allies an initia
tive which they would never lose.
In discussing the righting in the
Middle East, Churchill described
Marshal Erwin Rommel as a fugi
tive from Egypt who now would
like to pose as the deliverer of Tu
nisia, but said the eighth
would never let go of him.
That the 10-day conference had
developed the long-discussed allied
master battle plan for the war was
clear in both the president's and
prime minister's statements.
Churchill, waving his cigar, de
clared that despite the fact that
there may be some delay at times,
there is a design and purpose and
unconquerablv will to enforce "un
conditional surrender'' upon the
criminals who plunged the world
into war.
I hurchill, wearing an American
Distinguished Service Order given
him by Gen. .John J. Pershing in
the 'first World war, declared the
present conference has surpassed
anything in his long experience.
The president and prime minis
ter repeated the words of the com
munique describing the Giraud-
DeGaulle meeting, saying they felt
the moment "made it oDDortune to
invite (,en. Giraud to confer with
the combined duels of staff and
to arrange a meeting between him
and Gen. DeGaulle."
One of the highlights of the folks
back home in America was the re
view of the soldiers by the presi-
ueni. lie reviewed the troops from
a jeep driven by Staff Sergeant
Oran Lass, from Kansas City, Mo.,
who was the proudest soldier in the
U. S. Army but maintained an air
of impeccable dignity throughout.
The soldiers reviewed had been
entirely unaware of the president's
presence in Africa, and confessed
later that they had assumed when
they rehersed for the- affair that
the party would be "another bunch
of brass hats."
Standing rigidly at attention and
unable to look in the direction from
which the president was coming,
each was surprised in turn as Mr.
Roosevelt's jeep drew opposite him.
Eyes literally popped as the pre
sident and commander-in-chief
passed only six feet away in front
of the men with n big smile on his
face. Few soldiers were able to
wipe off their own smiles of pleas
ure. The morning was chilly and
somewhat cloudy when the parade
started, but the warm African sun
shown brightly as the convoy sped
around winding roads through the
hills. Soldiers, not knowing whom
they guarded, were stationed along
the road at regular intervals. Every
pass, every bridge was guarded by
.i med soldiers who had taken their
-tand many hours before.
The convoy fjjoceeded to the re
view area where troops were lined
up for at least a mile in front of
their tanks, half-tracks, scout cars
and artillery of all sizes and cali
bres. The convoy stopped and the
president mounted his jeep, which,
after a band had played the na
tional anthem, drove slowly in
front of-the soldiers.
Mr. Roosevelt's secret service
bodyguards, wearing armored corps
battle jackets, walked by the sides
of his jeep.
Most of the troops were lined up
beside the road under eucalyptus
trees. Other units were stationed
on the horizon guarding the area.
The president occasionally laugh
ed and joked with the generals accompanying-
him. several times he
spoke to the men. Mostly he ap
peared deadly serious.
In flying to the meeting Presi
dent Roosevelt was in a plane for
the first time since 1932, when he
flew to the national Democratic
convention in Chicago upon receiv
ing the presidential nomination.
He was accompanied to Africa
by Gen. George C. Marshall, chief
of staff of the United States army;
Adm. Ernest J. King, chief of naval
operations; Lieut. Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, chief of the army air forc
es,, and Harry Hopkins, White
House aide.
Prime Minister Churchill was ac
companied by Adm. Sir Dudley
Pound, first sea lord and chief of
Britian's naval staff; Gen. Sir Alan
Francis Brooke, chief of the im
perial staff; Air Marshal Sir Char
les Portal, chief of the air staff;
Vice-Adm. Lord Louns Mountbat
ten, chief of combined operations
(Commandos); and Field Marshal
Sir John Dill.
Also participating in the confer
ences were Lieut. Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of
the AEF in North Africa; Maj. Gen.
Carl Spaatz, commander of Ameri
can and RAF air operations in that
theater; and three leading figures
in the British drive against Mar
shal Rommel Gen. Sir Harold
Alexander, British commander-in-chief
of the Middle East; Gen. Sir
Bernard Montgomery, commander
of the British eighth army; and
Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Ted
der, vice chief of British air forces.

A. said, "We are offering this pro
gram hoping that all of the home
makers in this vicinity will take ad
vantage of the opportunity to avail
themselves of this information. It
will certainly help all of us to know
how to buy and prepare foods so
that we can get the most out of
every ounce we buy. Now, since
rationing is in force, this informa
tion should prove of immeasurable
value to the women who are charg
ed with managing the food budget.
"There is no admission charge
or dues and all literature is free,"
Mr. Davis pointed out.
Miss Kathryn Lokey, Home Eco
nomist for the Carolina Power &
