 Cairo, Feb. 2-(UP)-The blank week in the known activities of Prime Minister Winston Churchill after he conferred with President Roosevelt at Casablanca was filled in today with permission to publish the details of his visit to Egypt and Turkey.
 President Roosevelt visited Liberia and Brazil, to confer with President Getulio Vargas, and then Trinidad on his way home. During that time, the public had no news of Churchill who arrived here last Tuesday by plane from Casablanca.
 He spent most of Tuesday resting at the British embassy. Late in the day he called at British general headquarters, where he talked to Gen. Sir Harold R. l.. G. Alexander, commander in chief in the Middle East.
 News of the visit spread quickly and every window at headquarters was filled with cheering men. Churchill as he left responded with the victory sign.
 Wednesday Churchill talked to Alexander, Adm. Sir Henry Har- wood, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Will son, commanding the 10th Army in Iraq and Iran; Gen. Sir John Dill, and Richard G. Casey, war cabinet minister resident in the Middle East.
 Thursday Churchill remained nearly all day at the embassy. Pre- mier Nahas Pasha of Turkey called on him in the evening, and later there was an embassy dinner at tended by Alexander o. Kirk, Amer ican minister.
 Friday Churchill again conferred with Gen. Alexander and also with Air Marshal Arthur Tedder, com- manding the Middle Eastern air force. He also conferred with Kirk and Lieut.. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, U. s. commander for the Middle East.
 Flying to Turkey, Churchill in- spected the air field at Adana, in- cluding a formation of crack new British Hurricane planes just ar- rived for the Turkish air force, and then drove to the Yenidje railroad siding for the conference.
 All principal political and military leaders attended the first formal meeting.
 The rest of the first day Church. i'll, Sir Alexander Cadogan, British foreign under secretary, and Ambas- sador to Turkey Sir Hugh Mont- bomery Knatchbull- -Hugessen held a series of informal talks with Pres- ident Ismet Inonu, Premier Sukru Sarcoglu and Foreign Minister Nu- milan Menemencoglu.
 All talks were held in the cars of Presidents Inonu's special train.
 While Churchill and Inonu talked in one coach. military leaders talked in another.
 There was a second plenary meet ing Sunday and there were more informal talks, political and mili- taTy, after which Churchill and The onu received military reports from the army and air force men.
 There were friendly luneheons and dinners during the talks.
 InfOFmality marked the entire conference. Interpreters were avail. able but nearly everybody spoke French.
 The siding where tho conference vas held is in . plain, dominated on the north by tho impressive snow covered Taurus mountains. Though It rained at first it was sunny dur- ng most of the meeting.
 At times the conierees in tWog and hrees stretched their legs by walk Ha aIeng the tracks.
