UNIFIED ACTION

BRITAIN, U.S. & SOVIET COUNTERING THE AXIS FILMS OF CONFERENCE (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 18, 2.40 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 17. A report from Washington says that immediately on his arrival at White House President Roosevelt summoned the' Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, and began mapping specific methods of achieving closer collaboration against the Axis between the United States, Britain and Russia. A film record of the meeting of Mr. Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt, which will be shown throughout Britain early next week, is ample evidence of the complete accord between Britain and the United States in the fight against Nazism. Mr. Churchill, in tne uniform of an elder brother of Trinity House, and President Roosevelt, were shown cordially shaking hands with one another. Officers and men of all ranks are seen greeting their opposite numbers. Perhaps, the most striking pictures are those showing Mr. Churchill and President Roosevelt attending divine service on H.M.S. Prince of Wales. The deck was crowded with British and American naval ratings who join with their leaders in singing stirring hymns.
