His slate of activities also calls for a number of social functions before he leaves: the Capitol this weekend for New York where he will visit his old friend Bernard Baruch. Next Wednesday, he will board the liner Queen Mary for his return to England. In his talks with the President, which follow up a formal round of policy conferences last week, Churchill is due to urge prompt agreement between the United States and Britain on an Atlantic naval command under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

President Truman and his advisors have taken the line the Atlantic Command should go to an American admiral. position is reported to be that no special command should be set up, and in event of war the same organization and strategy followed in World War II for combatting enemy submarines and keeping the sea lanes open between America and Europe should be adopted.
