WASHINGTON CONTACT
CLOSE TOUCH KEPT EFFORTS FOR SOLUTION (Reed. Aug. 28, 1.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. While officials of the State Department denied knowledge of a report from London that the British Cabinet's reply to Herr Hitler which the British Ambassador, Sir Neville Henderson,-will -convey to Berlin tomorrow, had been submitted- to President Roosevelt, the general feeling prevails- that the President is continuing constant communication by telephone with officials in London and is keeping close personal touch with the efforts for peaceable solution.
Officials added that proof of this, as well as an indication that he considers the 'gravity of the situation is undiminished, is seen in the fact that he has cancelled his plans' to go to Hyde Park for -a few d'ays and will remain at his desk at Washington. Officials, commenting on a London report that the Brutish Foreign Office has asked for President Roosevelt's opinion of the tentative British suggestion for -a six-months’ GermanPolish truce as a preliminary to negotiations, observed: “It is unlikely that Britain will seek to place -him in the role o-f adviser 'to the British Foreign Office.”
