London May Be The Site
Of Tripartite Meetings

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. -
-P)-London, instead of Mos
COW, may be the scene of the
forthcoming American-British-
Russian conference.
Secretary of State Hull has
informed colleagues he definite
ly expects to attend the meet
ing and, in view of his dislike
for air travel, indications devel-
oped today that the confer
ence might be shifted from
Moscow to shorten his trip.
Hull will join Foreign Minis
ter Anthony Eden of Britain
and Foreign Commissar Molo-
TOW of Russia in an attempt
to promote greater coopera-
ton among the three Allies,
both in the field of actual war
fare and in the realm of post
war planning.
The conference is expected
to prepare the way for another
later in the year among Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain.
The State Department is in
possession of information that
the Russians have the friend
Hest of feelings toward their
Anglo-American allies and de-
finitely are not interested in
separate peace with Germany.
But the department has been
advised that the picture could
change, particularly if Anglo
American forces fail to open
the second front in Europe
which the Soviet Union has
been urging.

for payments.
By requiring the government to
make the entire initial payment,
he explained, delay would be
avoided and hardship averted.
The changes he supported would,
he said, cost about 1898, 900, 000 ad-
ditional during the remaining nine
months of this fiscal year.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Does the modern young
woman have to neglect her home
and her children in order to do
good war job?" We asked good
looking Mrs. Eugene Carusi, who
does one of the best volunteer
jobs in town running the detail
Of the rescue squad at the AWVS
headquarters, keeping an attrac-
tive house running smoothly and
bringing up two charming little
girls who are happy and healthy
and well cared for.
"Emphatically no." Mrs. Carusi
replied. Il think that there are
so many different kinds of war
work SO systematized that any
woman can find something to
do without neglecting her home
or her family. 1t may be only
giving few hours to knitting or
to clerical work in her own home,
If she has the care of small chill
dren and household duties which
she cannot leave. Or it may be a
full day once or twice week
when she can leave the children
with some member of the family
or take turns with another
mother and pool the children,
so to speak. But whatever her
circumstances, any intelligent
woman can budget her time so
that she can do something to
help win and TO help shorten this
war
1t was even before Pearl Har-
Dor that Mrs. Carusis husband
CnoW 1t. Condr. CarusU volun-
teered to the Navy. He has seen
active service almost continuously
since the war, and he was in
Pearl Harbor at the time of the
bombing. Not long after Pearl
Harbor-in fact few days-his
pretty young wife began doing
her bit at home for the war
effort. Always good driver
she Was most interested in motor
corps work. She took all the
first aid courses that the AWVS
gave and all the courses pertain
ing to motor cops, civilian pro-
lection, etc.
She drives ambulances for
both Casualty and Emergency
Hospitals (under AWVS) and it
is her detail that keeps the AWVS
ambulances in condition and,
working with the international
Red Cross, helps with the trans
portation of all prisoners-of war
packages. She is on constant call
to fill in the detail of which she
is in charge when any of the
other volunteers don't show up
and that is job in itself. Now
that the Emergency and Casualty
ambulances are to be equipped
with radios she is taking the Fed
eral Communications course and
learning to operate a two-Way
radio.
