Roosevelt-Churchill Mystery

WASHINGTON CONFIDENT TWO MEN ARE MEETING

WASHINGTON, Aug, 7 (Reuter)-As far as Washington is concerned, the Roosevelt- Churchill'affair has practically ceased to be a mystery. It is now widely taken for granted that they must be together.

It is argued that-Mr Churchill could be absent in only two places-either in Moscow or with President Roosevelt-and it is thought that any arrival in Moscow could hardly be covered by such an impenetrable blanket of secrecy. Hence the conviction that he must be with Presis dent Roosevelt.

Only Three In Know

-----If--they-are-actually--meeting;—it^- importance seems shown by the fact that no diplomafie exchanges or ar- rangements preceded it.

Therefore it is felt that detalls are known only to three men-Pre- sident Roosevelt, Mr Harry Hopkins
