This does not rule out, how- McEl-ever, a visit of President Roosevelt to Paris. In fact, it is fully expected that he will accept the invitation which De Gaulle has extended for a meeting in Paris, where it is believed Churchill would come at the same time. But the Paris meeting would probably follow the meeting of the big three in eastern Europe. Both President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, it is pointed out would seek to avoid the impression and American plans are being laid in advance of a conference with Stalin. When the three leaders meet, the principal item on their agenda will be the Dumbarton Oaks plan for an international security organization.

Sgt Achenbach is stationed, in Trinidad and his wife is employed at Bryan Brothers store in Tipton.

Further evidence of the heavy early voting was seen in the business district where the streets were nearly deserted until mid-morning. Most county offices were closed, although the treasurer's office remained open to check records following the taxpaying deadline Monday night and the auditor took advantage of the opportunity to catch up with back work. But in the clerk's office, a steady stream of voters came to inspect registrations and untangle difficulties that arose over places of residence and the time and place of voting registration. The farm vote was expected to be heavy as well as the city vote, but only meagre reports were available concerning' the intensity of the rural vote.
