 Churchill will accompany MT Roosevelt to church on Christmas Day, but Early declined to give the name of the church or the hour oi his attendance.
 The leaders of two of the worlds mightiest anti-axis nations vii worship together in what Early de. scribed as "interdenominational ser- vices."
 The unprecedented White House conferences between MT. Roosevelt and Churchill were understood It. erally to be dividing the globe into four major war theaters to organ- ize the allies for defeat of Hitler ism throughout the world"
 They are expected to set Up an inter-allied war council and there was speculation whether that move would be followed, ultimately, by nomination of 0 supreme cornmaIl- der-ir-chief.
 But there seemed to be good ground to believe that the least which will come from the Potomac side conference of the leaders of the English speaking peoples, would be Q unihcation Of command in vAri- ollS theaters of war.
 Under any such division of re- sponsibility, United States military and naval officers would get the tough and hazardous job of licking the axis in the Pacific and the far east. But the first job out there is to hold our own = ours and Great Britain's--and none here ininimizes the tremendous nature of that aSs signment.
 Churchill arrived in Washington by air last night out of mist of speculation and secrecy. He left Lon- don Dec. i2. He was met at c service air port by Mir. Roosevelt for their first meeting since they sealed the eight-point Atlantic charter ct sec in mid-August.

 "There Is, of course, one primary objective in the conversations to be held during the next few days be-. tween the president and the British prime minister and the respective StaffS of the two countries. That purpose is the defeat of HitleriSrn throughout the world"
 Tt should be remembered that many other nations are engaged in this common task. Therefore, the present conferences in Washington should Do regarded as preliminary to further conferences which will officially include Russia, China, the Netherlands ard Dominions. It is expected that there will thus be evolved an overall unity in the con- duct of the war. Other nations will be asked to participate to the best of their ability in the overall objec- Ives.
 Tt IS probable that no further announcement will be made until the end of the present conferences. But, 1t may be assumed that the other interested nations will be kept in close ouch with this pre-
