New Facts Hint at
Meeting Between
FDR, Churchill
Argentine Dies Committee Attacks Axis n

WASHINGTON, Aug. I. UP)-
Rumors that President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Winston Chur-
chill of Great Britain had met or
were about to meet were kept alive
today by two new bits of infor-
nation, neither of which was con-
elusive.
One was the fact that the presi-
dents highest military and naval
advisers are absent from the capi-
tai.
The other was a statement by a
we'll placed official that they knew
that the president and the prime
minister had desind for some
months TO have a face to face con-
ference.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox,
Admiral Harold R. Stark. chief OF
naval operations, Gen. George C,
Marshall, army chief of staff. and
Gen. H. II. Arnold, assistant chief
of staff in charge of the army air
forces, were not in Washington.
Knox was located in York harbor,
Me. He had left last Saturday by
plane, presumably for n weeks rest
at his home in Manchester. N. H,
but it was learned in Boston that
he had not been in Manchester and
l.. ~
yesterday and inspected the Ports
mouth navy yard. He planned to go
to Manchester tomorrow, it was
understood.
Stark was said TO be out of the
city on leave, but the navy said it
had no knowledge of his where
abouts. The army gave q similar
reply to queries concerning Mar
shall and Arnold.
The highest government official
often leave the capital for vaca-
tions or official trips when the
president is out OF the city. when
there is no possibility that they
will be needed for conferences at
the White House.
The official who disclosed the
desire of Mr.. Roosevelt and Chur-
chill to talk personally about the
problems of Anglo American COL
laboration against the Axis, said
he had no actual knowledge as to
whether the conference had taken
place or was about to be held.
Officials here and in London have
neither confirmed nor denied re-
ports that the meeting was about
to be held or had been held.

Marshall May Fly
To Buenos Aires on
'Good.WiII' Visit
Chief of Stoff Invited
To Attend Celebration
Of independence

1t was considered possible today
that Gen. George C. Marshall, Army
chief of staff. might fly to Buenos
Aires on a return good will" visit
to take part in the July 9 celebra-
ton of Argentina's 125th anniver-
sary of independence.
Ambassador Espil has extended
his country's invitation, but 1t was
said at the War Department today
that formal acceptance and the
actual taking of the trip itself de-
pends on future developments. In
view of the acute international sit
uation and the always existing pos
sibility of a new emergency arising,
1t is very difficult TO determine if
Gen. Marshall would be able to
absent himself from Washington for
such a long period as the visit
would neceSsitate.
Should he make the trip, he would
probably leave Washington on our
own Independence Day and arrive
in Buenos Aires four days later.
Plans involve sending along an
impressive Air Corps feet of bomb
ers If they can be spared.
Last fall, the Argentine chief of
staff and military generals of other
Latin American countries visited the
United States on goodwill" mis-
sion at Gen. Marshall'S invitation.

ern Hemisphere defense plans, Of

fenses. The chiefs of staff of Brazil.

With continued reports, mostly
from Turkey, of heavy German

wait impatiently for word of shift

Reports May Be Exaggerated.
In the absence of such action, in

the conclusion that the reports had

encouraged by the Germans in the
hope that the British would be pro-

Syria.

Another Ship Started
After South Dakota
Slides Down Ways

Sonto Fe Keel Swung
With Top Speed
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY,

CAMDEN, N. j., June THE
s5,000-ton battleship South Dakota
slid down the ways of the New York
Shipbuilding Co. here today, the
third United States battleship
launched in the race to complete
the two-ocean Navy.
Navy Secretary Knox and mem
bers of Congress watched Mrs. Har-
Ian J. Bushfield, wife of the Cover
nor of the State, Christen the battle
wagon in the traditional ceremony
Illustrating the speed Of modern
shipbuilding, the keel of the cruiser
Sante Fe was swung into the ways
of the South Dakota as soon as the
battleship slid down,
Union difficulties were ironed out
at the last minute. and the 80-piece
Sioux City IS. Dak) High School
Band was allowed to play at the
ceremonies.
Launched four months ahead OF
schedule. the U. S. S. South Dakota
is the third United States bat
tleship to be launched in the last
20 years But the long period bar
rem of battleship construction Is
illustrated by the fact that the first
two in that time-the North Carolina
and the Washington-were launched
stoned this spring.
Although the original contract for
building the ship was for $50, ,794 900
subject to adjustments for labor and
material final cost for construc-
ton and machinery will be s62,-
e97, ,7S0. The Government will
equip her with armor and guns to
cost approximately $4,000, 900 more.
The South Dakota Society of
Washington sponsored a special
train to carry approximately 400
person from the Capital to Camden.
Members of Congress from the
State were in the party. Members of
the House and Senate Naval Affairs
Committees also were to be on hand.
The South Dakota, like all ships
of this class. will carry nine l6-inch
guns in triple turrets. and 20 dual
purpose 5-lnch guns IN twin gun
houses. She is to have an unnamed
number of anti-aircraft guns scat
tered over the vessel to protect 1t
at all angles.
The ship is the third to be given
the name South Dakota. The first
was an armored cruiser built in
1904. and later renamed the Huron.
Keel of the second. OF $4,000 tons,
was laid in 1918, and she was nearly
half completed when scrapped under
the Washington Treaty for Limita-
ton of Naval Armament. The pres
ent vessel was authorized by Act |
of Congress March 81. 1894. and /
funds for her construction were
appropriated In 1889.
