events were shaping.

the four leaders were to sit to-

T. Early agreed during a press
conference today that subsequent
chapters undoubtedly will be writ
ten" to the storY of the CaSablanca
meeting, but that the story is COM
plete 80 far as it can be told at
the present time"
There was quick enthusiasm here
for the fact that President Roose-
velt and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill had met in North Africa.
There was more than touch OF dis
appointment that GenerallSslmo
Chang Kai-shek and Premier JOSEF
Stain had not been there, too.
There is speculation how they may
be more closely associated with the
Casablanca announcement.
INVASION PLANS
Washington'S judgment conceded
with London's that the President
and prime minister had agreed on
an early invasion of Europe where
British and American troops will
slug it out with Germany on the
ground There is growing confidence
that the invasion timetable has
been fixed.
But the all-inclusive, global scope
of the Casablanca communique and
of the statements made by Mr.
Roosevelt and Churchill at last Sun
days press conference suggest that
some definite and satisfactory means
must have been agreed upon to en-
brace China and Soviet Russia more
firmly in the statement of policy.
NEWS MEN WORRIED
Some of the newspapermen who
covered the conference and reported
it for American readers are begin
ming to evidence frustrated fears
that they did not get all the story.
c. R. Cunningham, of the United
Press staff, was one of them. Two
days after cabling his report Of
Sundays press conference and COM
munique, Cunningham cabled again
last night that there was a grow
ing conviction" among correspond
ents that much remained to be tod.
The London Daily Mails G. Ward
Price, reporting veteran OF Wotld
war 1, was another. Price thought
it over a couple of days and report
ed in a second dispatch today that
only part of what happened at
Casablanca had been revealed, that
sensational news was to come.
There is the report of Walter Lo-
gan, United Press staff correspond
ent, that visitors arrived with Fin
nish tags on their baggage. And
there were rumors galore.
NO CONFERENCE
A significant fact is that the
press conference" Sunday with
Mr. Roosevelt and the prime minis
ter was no press conference at all
but more of an audience, because
questions were barred. 1t is not Mr.
Roosevelts habit to avoid sharp
shooting questions even when the
going is tough. And the question
bar may properly be taken as evil
dence that there was more in hand
and planned at Casablanca than

If convicted. he faces 10 years in

The complaint said Frisby started
his travels at st. George, Utah, on
an "a" book At BarstoW, Cal, he
got &C" book to return to Tooele,
Utah, for war work, the charge
said. Az Tooele he requested rations
to return to California and "B"
book was issued.
On his way to California, Frisby
assertedly stopped at st. George,
got another "B" book, paused in
Las Vegas, New, and secured an
other "B" card to go back to Ogden,
Utah. where he was issued his
fourth "B" book and headed south
again.

By C. r. CUNNINGHAM

CASABLANCA, Jan. "a.
(Delayed) = OUP) = Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Winston Churchill
have just adjourned their most in
formal and unusual press confer
ence.
They met the correspondents in
the rear garden of luxurious white
Villa on the outskirts of Casablanca.
The whole area for blocks around
was filled with troops and antiair-
craft equipment and barbed wire.
The correspondents assembled at
noon. In the garden were two white
leather chairs with microphone
before them. Through the big win
dows overlooking the Atlantic the
reporters could see Harry l.. Hop
kins and his son, Corp. Robert Hop
kins, photographer stationed in
Tunisia, making final arrangements
for the conference.
ELLIOTT ATTENDS
Lieut. Col. Elliott Roosevelt, the
Presidents son, appeared with two
more chairs which he arranged in
the garden.
Then the President came from the
Villa. He wore a graz business suit,
black tie, and had, as usual, a
cigaret in the long holder.
Churchill appeared next, wearing
gray, pin-striped suit, and his
traditional gray hat. He had a cigar
in his mouth. He wore black shoes
fastened with zippers. Gen. Charles
DeGaulle and Gen. Henri Honore
Giraud came next. Giraud sat on
the end seat on the Presidents
right DeGaulle was on the Presi-
dents lett and to his left sat Chur-
chill.
JEST OVER HAT
Mr.. Roosevelt asked whether
Churchill would take off his hat for
the photographers but the prime
minister said he wore it to keep
the sun out of his eyes and sug-
gested that the President also
should have worn one.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had been
born without hat and did not see
! any need for one now.
The two French Generals, the
President and the prime minister
talked while the neWsreel cameras
ground and the still photographers
made innumerable shots. At Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion. DeGaulle and

The service men took the wrong
car, wheeled it around to their
workshop and proceeded to put the
radio in.
Riley returned to the place where
he had parked his auto. He i'm
mediately reported to police that it
had been stolen. Then he noticed
the car of similar make and color
and concluded that the owner had
taken it by mistake. He sat down
Imperial Valley press., 1943-01-27

to wait for the other car owner to
discover his mistake and return
for his own car.
A while later his car was brought
back-by the service men. In it
was a new radio.
Result: the service men had to
go through the process again, only
putting the radio in the right car
this time. Riley reported to the
police that his car hadn't been TAX
en- after all.
