 Exchange Greeting
 Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill greeted each other enthusiastically, comparing notes on how each other was feeling, The President was dressed in Q single-breaSted, dark blue pln-Strlped suit and wore his familiar Panama hat. Churchill wore his typical seA.golng uniform of Trinity House, putting on Q cigar while he talked with the President,

 Sca-SIck
 Did you have e nice trip" the President asked Churchill, who re. Oiled by telling him that although there were three days Of beautiful weather" he was "frightfully sick" part of the time.

 Mir. Roosevelt confessed to Chur- chill that he'd lost e little weight, and the Prime Minister in turn said that he, himself had lost some color recently.
 Sunshine
 Canadian Prime Minister W, L, Mackenzie and the Earl of Athlone, Governor General of Canada, vel comed MT. Roosevelt and Churchill,
 1ne sunshine Of 0 bright autumn maEning bathed the river and the citadel as the President and Prime Minister drove in the open auto mobiles under close escort to the citadel.
 All the physical preparations and all the advance planning were com pleted for what promised to be one of the most important-and in some ways most difficult-of the Churchill Roosevelt conferences, This meeting, their 10th, will be held in the Citadel, time-w worn gray stone fortress that dominates the bluffs overlooking the St, Lawrence river.
 While the meeting will be pre- dominantly military, the military decisions must be keyed to top- level designs that only MT. Roose- welt and Churchill can make. Thus on the European front, the decisions that must be made on military oc- cupation and enforcement of peace terms are bound up with the qies- ton of how much power, Russia is to have over how much of eastern Europe.
 The military nature of the confer ence-and particularly the emphasis on the war with Japan-was stress cd by Stephen D. Eearly. White House press secretary. Early told a news conference.
 '"The recent inspection tour of the Pacific by the President, his con- Rererices with Admiral Nimitz, Gen. eral Macarthur and the command Ing general of the Alaska and Aleu- tians area, were but preliminary, a very necessary one to the confer- ence beginning today.
 "As you all very well know, this is largely, if not exclusively a military conference. There may be disap- pointing volume of news. If there is, it will be for that reason. This is made necessary for security"
 Asked whether his reference to the presidents visit to the Pacific meant that the emphasis on this conference would be on the Pacific and the Far East, Early said:
 T think you will find 1t largely eo."
 Ahead of Schedule
 Ana the war against Japan mas advanced so far ahead of schedule that urgent decisions now must be made for better integration of the British and American efforts. That 3wolves delicate matters of Amer acan dissatisfaction ,lith the British effort from their Indian bases and Ghe need for a top overall command such as General Dwight D. Eisen- hover holds in Europe. Undoubtedly such . post would go to an Ameri- gan.
 Neither Russia. China or France sin be represented here, but it was expected that many of the Roose- @elt- Churchill recommendations will be submitted to them for approval. T.he possibility of an agreement
