WASHINGTON, May 11—
(U.P.)—Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived here today accompanied by a large staff of military advisers for his fifth conference with President Roosevelt since August 1941, when they drafted the Atlantic Charter in a high seas rendezvous.
Although the names of the military experts were not released, a London dispatch disclosed that Lord Beaverbrook, one of Britain’s foremost advocates of a second front had arrived with Churchill.
At 6:48 p.m. the white house made this announcement:
“Prime Minister Winston Churchill has arrived in Washington He was met by the president upon arrival and will be the president’s guest for the duration of his visit. Mr. Churchill was accompanied by a staff of experts, military and naval.”
The white house did not disclose the purpose of the prime minister’s visit but it was the general assumption that they met again to plot new moves in the allied offensives against the axis.
There was no available information on the mode of Churchill’s transportation, nor were there any details of his arrival except that he had been met by the president.
The experts who accompanied Churchill were expected to go into almost immediate conference with their American counterparts, including Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, and undoubtedly Admiral William D. Leahy, Mr. Roosevelt’s personal chief of staff.
The white house made no mention whether Russian Premier Josef Stalin had been invited to the present conferences, as he was to the rendezvous at Casablanca last winter.

The kid herself.
Peppy D.G. walks in CQ s shoes
by Barbara Best
We remember Leta Galentine as a struggling young member of the Greater University committee who, in the old days, used to wear out endless pairs of shoes tramping up and down University avenue asking store-owners if they would like to see the street closed off.
This was something new in these committee members, who usually spend their meeting time drawing maps on conference tables, so we were vaguely impressed. Then we discovered this Leta Galentine, dark-eyed diminutive DeeGee, had a little extra something on * the ball, resoundingly approved not long ago by the student body which elected her to succeed Charlotte Quinn as vice-president and first lady.
Thinking it over, we decided anyone who could fill CQ’s shoes, ration card notwithstanding, must be quite a character; so we looked her up and found to our satisfaction that SC really has something here.
You start off with an impressive list of activities, about which our
subject, known variously as “Leet,’ “Dryball,” or “the Kid Herself,” manages to be thoroughly unstuffy.
The list, just to be thorough, includes such top spots for BWOC status as president of the sophomore-junior club, judicial court, Amazon secretary, chairman of war council, Spooks and Spokes membership, NROTC “color girl,” (the color is pink, like on a face),
LETA GALENTINE .. . she wore out some shoes.
and finally, election to Mortar Board. No flimsy record of accomplishment, we might add.
All this prominence must run in the family, as Leta is proud and acceptably smug about kid brother Norm Galentine, Phi Psi and newly-elected Squire.
Five-by-Five Galentine, speaking in terms of inches and feet of course, confesses her greatest weakness is writing letters, postcards, and birthday greetings when she should be taking class notes, but she nevertheless manages to maintain a mildly sensational average of 2.59, which makes us swallow gently apd mutter, “Hallelujah, brother!”
Leet’s favorite pastime, despite the cumulative just cited is “just playing,” which usually includes DeeGee buddies Liz Wells and Mary McClung, who are inclined to dismiss the hew first lady’s accomplishments with a wave of the hand and a brief description, “that character!n What she likes least, she’ll add if you get personal, is saying goodbye (Continued on Page Four)
