WASHINGTON, May 11—(AP) -- Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill arrived here tonight s- gainst a background of an Allied victory in Tun- isla and German jitters over invasion, for more war talks with President Roosevelt.

He was accompanied

and naval experts.

His swift trip to the United States after the sudden collapse of Axis arms in Tunisia led to conjecture that he had come for a final check- ing ovsrof plans for hammering open an- other front on the Eur- opean continent and perhaps to project Allied strategy even beyond

that point.

The White House govc no details o! the exact purpose cf the fifth Chllmhill-Rflfllevelt pariey in 21 mouths one": the fourth since the Unitod ltstes plunged into the con-

flint.

Imsidontlli secretary Stephen Ihrly issued only this brie! sn- lwllncomentz-

"Prime Minister Winston Ohuroh- ill has arrived in Washington. He was met by the President upon srrivsl and will be the president's guest for the duration of his vmit. Mr. Churchill was accompanied by s. steff of experts. military And naval."

lord Besvorbrooli, tout-Lon pub- lisher and former British csbl t Member. slso has arrived in Wes - ingwn, authoritative sources dis- closed. although they said he was not a member of the official Churchill party. It was believed. however. that Lord Beaver-brook. who hes been a. close collaborator with Mr. Churchill on industrial problems, prohr-hlv will participate lit the 10bit talks.
