DAVIES TO REPORT
TO TRUMAN TODAY

WASHINGTON, June g. R -
Joseph E. Davies returned here
today from London where he con-
ferred with Government officials
as personal representative of
President Truman.
Davies, who left here May %,
will report to the President at
noon tomorrow
The White House announced at
that time that Davies, former am.
bassador to Moscow would discuss
with Prime Minister Churchill and
other members of the Government
certain matters of common in
terest to the United States and
Great Britain arising out of the
war"
Later, Presidential Secretary
Charles G. Ross took cognizance of
speculation that the trip, together
with that of Harry Hopkins to
Moscow on similar Presidential
mission, might substitute for a
meeting Of Truman, Churchill and
Marshal Stain. Ross said it was
not substitute but a part of a
general pattern which included
the projected Big Three meeting.

Lloyd, formerly minister in
charge of petroleum warfare, re-

Armored cars equipped with

Just why Adolf Hitler, after the
