Late last night Churchill with
Mrs. Anthony Eden and q group Of
service officers went to the ministry
Of information movie theater to see
the current Aim success, Casablanca,
and news reel pictures Of his tour
and his arrival home.
Political quarters forecast that
Churchill's commons speech would
be long ana rousing. They expected
him to discuss fully his meeting with
President Roosevelt and President
Inonu and to make briefer referee
erces to his visits to Egypt, Cyprus
and Tripoli, in addition to giving
the house an important summary
Of the entire war outlook IN connec-
ton with the agreement he reached
with President Roosevelt that the
three big Axis nations would be
forced into unconditional surrender.
There was some expectation that
Churchill would face persistent ques-
tioning on the North African poll
tical problem.
It was expected also that there
would be a commons debate on the
basis Of the speech.
However, Churchill's prestige was
now higher than ever before and
he was assured Of the full support
Of the house.
Churchill arrived at British air.

New York, Feb. g. (U.P.) - An
advance hint Of shoe rationing from
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, cou-

There is no other post to which
Ciano could have gone that would
offer greater sanctuary than the
Vatican, neutral state with italy.
The Vatican also is the only nett
trail state friendly to italy in
Europe over which Germany has
virtually no influence.
Ciano, who was repeatedly elimi-
mated from the cabinet because Of
his personal disagreements with
Hitler and German Foreign Minis
ter Joachim Won Ribbentrop, would
be in an ideal position as italian
envoy to the Vatican to put out
peace feelers. The Pope always has
been ready to support any action
that would limit or reduce the
scope Of the war.
Ciano thus would be In q favor

gotiations, either In the name of
Mussolini or of an anti-Mussolini
group, by which Italy could perform
diplomatic somersault and break
out of the Axis.
On the other hand, any such
peace effort would be difiicult be-
cause of the increasing number OF
