This source, one of the presi dent's most loyal'congressional supporters, asserted that the chief executive had drafted such a statement and that it could be expected in the near future, perhaps today or at his news conference tomorrow. It was at his news conference Tuesday that Mr. Roosevelt de clared his availability for a fourth term nomination.

FDR to Confer With Churchill Washington, July 13 (VP) A meeting between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill may come about be fore long, the way cleared in part by Mr. Roosevelt's drama tic revision of French policy to permit practical cooperation with General Charles De Gaulle. The problem of Anglo-American relations with De Gaulle's national committee of libera tion has been one of the most difficult ever to trouble the course of affairs which have to be handled jointly by Washing ton and London. The president and the prime minister have at various times been fairly close together in their desire not to recognize the committee as a provisional gov ernment, but Mr. Churchill's po sition has been complicated first by the fact that his own foreign office has long favored recog nition and second by indications that this attitude in recent months . has become increasing ly widespread throughout the British government. Had this recognition issue re mained In a highly unsettled condition with allied armies in France, it would undoubtedly have colored all the discussions of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill In their expected talks. No time for these talks has been indicated. The president however, has hinted at two news conferences that he ex pects to see the prime minister this summer or fall and that he would probably make the trip to Britain this time Instead of having Mr. Churchill come over.
