Declares Talks
With Churchill
Stoffs Abandon Plan
For Joint Statement,
Let President Speak

The combined American and
British stats have completed
plans for the future conduct Of
the war. it was announced BY
President Roosevelt this after
noon.
A brief statement said.
The conference Of the combined
staffs in Washington has ended in
complete agreement of future op-
erations in all theaters of the war"
No further hint was given as to
the conclusions reached in the meet
lngs which began at the White
House May II when Prime Minister
Churchill arrived with high-ranking
Army and Navy officers to meet the
President and the heads of the
American military and naval estab-
lishments
The President and Prime Minister
had intended to issue a Joint state
ment covering the conference. but
1t was decided today that the state
ment would come from the President
alone.
In his press conference TUESDAY
the Prime Minister declared that
the war would be prosecuted with
equal vigor in both the European
and eastern theaterS He recalled
that he mad told Congress that diff
culties were attendant on the CAM
paign in the Pacific because Of the
vast distances involved and the
problems of communications and
supplies and shipping which must
be solved before the Allied forces
could successfully combat the jap
aneSe.
At the same time, however, Mr..
Churchill said it was believed that
the conclusions that he and Presl-
dent Roosevelt had reached we're
sound and good and the President
added that thers would be further
discussions.
Europe Believed Put First.
While there seems no doubt but
that the war against the Axis in
Europe will continue to get first
call, observers here believed that
there would be a stepping up OF the
drive against the Japanese.
Mr.. Churchill impressed on his
hearers that he had brought naval
and military leaders from the Indian
tneater here so they could have the
benefit of conversations with 1t.
Gen. Joseph w. StilWell commander
OF the China Burma India theater,
/ and Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault
commander Of the 14th Air Force
IN China. Both Gen. StilWel and
Gen. Chennault are intimately ac-
qualnted with the situation in the
eastern theater and their advice, no
doubt. was solicited as to pressing
needs there
Prior to the arrival here of tn.
British. Gen ChennauIt and Gen.
StllWell. along with 1t Gen. George
Z. kenney. commander of the Allied
All forces in the Southwest Pacific,
and Maj. Gen. Richard K. Suther-
| land, chief of staff to Gen. Mac
Arthur. had conferred here with
, War and Navy officials on the con-
! ditions in the Pacific.
If President Roosevelts S statement
J means that the opening of a second
front in Europe is imminent. it waA
! believed that the appointment of
commander in chief would not b.
far distant. Prime Minister Churchill
was asked Tuesday about this point,
but he said no step had vet been
taken to name A leader for tho
forthcoming campaign.

church bells, reserved as an inva-
sion signal during the early war
wears, may now be rung at. any time
Herbert Morrison. home security
minister, informed the House of
Commons today.
The ban was partly lifted April 20

Flanagan Reappointed
By President 10 D. {.
Utilities Commission
Name Sent to Senote
After Honkin Wrote to
Byrnes on Differences
By DON S. WARREN.

President Roosevelt today nOml-
mated James H. Flanagan for a new
term of three years as a member
of the District Public Utilities Com
mission.
The nomina ton was sent to the
Senate a few hours after it was
disclosed that Gregory Hankin PUG
minority member. had urged Stabil-
ization Director James F. Byrnes to
lay before the President issues which
had developed between Mr.. Hankin
and the other PUG members.
In reference to Mr.. Hankins S move
White House attaches said they did
not believe the President had seen
the Hankin letter. One official had
a recollection that the Hankin letter
to Mr.. Byrnes had been referred to
the chief law officer of the OPA,
which acts as the agent of the
stabilization director.
Succeed X. E. Engen.
Mr.. Flanagan became a member
of the PUG in February of last
year. having been appointed to fill
out the Unexpired term of the late
Riley E. Elgen. Mr.. Flanagan was
elected chairman last fall to succeed
Mr.. Hankin. who had become mi
nority member by reason of numer-
GUS dissents from the decisions taken
by Mr.. Flanagan and Engineer Com
missioner Charles w. Kutz.
The past year has been marked
by an unprecedented amount of
work and problems, involving war
time transportation and rates, taxi
cab group riding and other issues.
One of the biggest problems now
facing the commission is the sched-
uled investigation and hearing on
continuation abrogation or modifi-
cation of the sliding scale method
of annual adjustment of power and
gas rates.
Mr. Hankin, earlier today. before
the Flanagan denomination was
announced, insistently reiterated
that Il do not have anything to do"
with appointments by the President
to the PUG.
