ROOSEVELT MEETS
WITH HIGH GROUP
President Talks With Mill
tary And State De-
partment Officers

WASHINGTON, Aug. TO- R -
President Roosevelt met with high
military and State Department ad-
vlsers today in conferences pos
sibly preliminary to his forthcom-
ing new war talks with Prime Min
lister Churchill
Gathering at the White House
for one conference were Secretary
cf State Hull, Undersecretary
Welles, Chairman Norman Davis
# the Red Cross, DR.. Isaiah Bow
man of Johns Hopkins university,
and DR.. Leo Pasvolsky, special as
sistant secretary of state in charge
of postwar planning
This was followed later by a
meeting of the President with Ad-
n1iral Williarn D. Leahy, his per-
sonal chief Of staff; Admiral Err
rest J. King, chief of naval oper-
ations; General George T. Mar
shall, Army chief of staff, and
General Henry H. Arnold, COM
mander of the Army Air Forces.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press-ra-
dic conference that the talks with
Tie State Department group con-
cerned postwar planning, and de-
scribed. the meeting as one in a
continuing. series. He did not elab-
crate, and concerning Mr.. Church
ills visit to the American CONT
nent gave no information beyond
that disclosed in Quebec.
The President said he expected
to meet with the prime minister,
but could not say when or. where
Or anything else.
Asked about the reports that con-
troll of Germany has been taken
over from Hitler by a military
triunnvirate, Mr. Roosevelt said he
knew nothing except what he had
read in the papers. Nor has the
State Department received any in
formation, he added.
Since the recent rapid movement
q events in Europe, there has
heen speculation that new Chur-
chill Roosevelt meeting would deal
rot only with military strategy but
also with territorial. political and
relief problens arising out of the
war.
There was nothing. however, to
indicate that the two leaders would
attempt to. formulate a joint pol
icy on the handling Of these prob
lens, # they did discuss them.
Since cooperation with Soviet
Russia is considered essential in
the United Nations planning, little
mere than an Anglo-American ex-
change of views seemed possible

German radio, in an overseas

Germans still held Italy bound by

The broadcast said "there has

Although the Germans were pa

Meanwhile there was a signifi-

The United States and Britain
were reported tonight to have
agreed to recognize the French
Committee of National LIBERIA

terests overseas until Gen.
Henri Giraud's armies land in

1.-THE report circulated in au-

pire.
1t was believed here that a
joint Anglo-American state
ment on French recognition
might be forthcoming from the
meeting of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill.
Allied officials here have in
dicated that the French unity
achieved by the Committee of
National Liberation is such as
to afford a firm basis for the
empires government and war
effort pending the Allied in
vasion of continental France.
Some sources expressed be-
lief that a ''limitation clause"
would be contained in the
statement Of recognition con-
