 Flying Visit
 (The statement may indicate that Churchill will pay a flying visit N the United States.)
 Only a matter of the highest inn port, it was apparent, would pre- vent Churchill from being present in the House for a full-dress de- bate of the conduct of the war.

 The object of the trip would be te discuss Anglo o-American collabora' tion, 1t was said.
 The statement by Attlee, member of Churchills war cabinet and tho prime minister's deputy in tht House, followed closely a statement by the London Daily Mail that < very high parsonage" is preparing to fly to the United States to set President Roosevelt.
