President Roosevelt will meet
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
of Britain here, Canadian officials
announced tonight, to draft their
blueprints for continuing the on.

It was disclosed at press con.

AS in the past, the parleys are
expected to take place in an at.

Nations leaders will disclose what
ever they can of the subjects they
have considered and the decisions

less of how many children they
have, unless their induction would
mean extreme hardship and prl-

2. To Grant super-eligibility for
occupational deferment to certain
jobs and to certain industries en-
gagged in direct production OF war
materials, such as airplanes.
Both the new non-deferrable and
the per-deferment lists will be
announced officially next Sunday,
Speaker said, and will be design
ed to press draft-age men to shift
Jobs in industries more essential
to the war effort by:
1. Putting a "penalty'' danger
of speedy induction-on remaining
in jobs listed as non-deferrable.
2. Offering reward COM

crucial to the war effort.
