Congressional circles debated today whether the pledge of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill to destroy the "Nazi tyranny" foreshadowed American naval and military moves.

They cited the fact that top Army and Navy officers accompanied Roosevelt to the conferences with British leaders somewhere in the Atlantic aboard American and British warships.

Highly-placed officials interpreted the Roosevelt- Churchill statement as a prelude to action. They said it virtually created an Anglo-American "entente" on world issues and pointed out there must be concerted steps to defeat the Axis before there is any chance of achieving the peace aims the statement stressed.

These developments followed Roosevelt-Churchill declaration:

1. The President was expected to land in New England today or tomorrow. It was believed he would immediately reveal some details of the Anglo-American accord. There were unconfirmed reports he might address the nation by radio within a week or two.

2. Britain's Minister of Supply, Lord Beaverbrook, entered a series of talks with officials about getting "more of everything" for Britain.

3. Defense officials forecast an increase in the impending new $6,000,000,000 lend-leae appropriation request; new efforts to speed up airplane and tank production; and consequent further restrictions on normal business.

4. The Army announced it would rush construction of $2,000,000 of new port facilities in New York to expedite shipments of lend-lease supplies to Britain.

The more or less general opinion in Congress was that the full story of the Churchill-Roosevelt meeting had not been told. Members felt that such figures as General Marshall and Admiral Stark were not taken along to discuss peace aims.

Many believed there would be closer collaboration in putting economic and political pressure on Japan and Vichy France.
