there was wide variance between
Allied and German viewpoints.
Welles expected to know the re
suit of the Hitler Mussolini meeting
before he sails for home on the lin.
er Conte di Savoia Wednesday. but
a reliable source said he did not
expect to delay his departure for it.
The German ambassador to Italy,
Hans Georg-Viktor Won Mackensen,
left Rome today to meet Hitler, a
German sourc said. This led to
the belief that his sudden call at
the foreign office yesterday, while
Welles and Count Ciano were con.
ferring, had to do with the Hitler
Mussolini meeting.
Rome was without definite word
on plans of II Duce who in the past
week has conferred with both I'm

Today Welles put in a couple of
hours work at the United States
embassy, writing a report for the
President on his talks with Musso-

Galeazzo Ciano yesterday, and then
took advantage of the spring sun
shine for relaxation.
Welles and United States Ambas-
sador William Phillips are schedul-

part in the talks.
Hitler was accompanied by his
foreign minister, Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, who returned to Berlin
only last week after a two-day visit
in Rome during which he conferred
with Premier Mussolini and was re-
ceived in audience by Pope Plus
XII.
The official announcement of
their departure, issued only after
their train had pulled out, said the
meeting between the fuehrer ard
the Duce had been arranged by
Ribbentrop while in Rome.
The announcement declared the
meeting scheduled to take place in
the Bremen Pass, had been 'long
~envisaged," but gave no hint as to
the directions the negotiations were
expected to take.
dispatches from Rome disclos-
ed that Mussolini already had left
the capital en- route to the Bremen
Pass, accompanied by his foreign
minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano.)
Throughout the day the greatest
official secrecy had been observed
in Berlin regarding the meeting I'M
til the announcement was made.
Rumors had persisted, however,
that Hitler and Won Ribbentrop
had departed for a conference with
Mussolini and his foreign minister,
Count Ciano.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR WOOLENs?

Consumers Counsel Division of the Department of
Agriculture, says this wi Sc "If you buying a
coat or blanket or rug you probably Will have
your choice of a woo1en worsted fabric. I'D 20
step farther and say "If you are buying coat
or blanket or rug, you probably have drag with

desperate campaign which several of neighbors are
waging for coat; have to repeat. "If you are
buying coat a blanket or rug, YOU probably
have drag with the old man."
But, just in case you do, Consumers Counsel has
prepared a statement how to know the difference
between worsteds and woolens, and when fabric will
hold it's shape.
"SoOlen fabrics have soft fuzzy appearance, and
their nap usually covers up the weave. It usually
is less firmly than worsted, but is springy
and elastic. Cheap woolen usually have
atons because much OF the fiber is pulled the
surface to form the Nap that rlbs off rolls
up when the fabric is rubbed 'briskly between the
hands indi Gates a poorly made material that will
soon become threadbare and look shabby.
"Worsteds have distinctly visible They
feel "iry and somewhat harsh, and usually firmly
woven and free from nap. The yarns smooth and
tightly twisted, and made from the better quail
ity wool yarns. They tailor we'll and hold their
press, but develop shine.
"You tell good quality in both woolens and
worsteds by crpling the fabric in your hand. Good
quality fabrics have a springy alive feeling an
