MEDITERRANEAN WARS
 SLATED TO INCREASE
Axis May Also Take Stand Against Unified States
 for Interference
BY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Adclf Hitler and his sorely pressed Axis partner, Benito Mussolini, met at an undisclosed spot amid Fascist assertions of a vast new German Italian offensive brewing against Great Britain in the Mediterranean war theatre.
 A German communique said the conference exemplified "a close fighting alliance between the Ger man and Italian people" with the two leaders in complete accord.
 With official details lacking, it is assumed in well informed quarters that the discussion between Hitler and Il Ducc touched upon the fol- lowing subjects:
 Onc-The Greek and North Africa campaigns and how Hitler can res cue Italy's battered legions
 Two-The Battle of Great Bri- tain with probable emphasis on the question of delivering a knockout blow before American aid become eff fective.
 Three-The Axis policy towards the United States as a result of Pre- sident Roosevelt's program to help Great Britain.
 In Rome, Fascist editor Virginia Gayda declared: The Axis in the Mediterranean is assuring that war will continue to develop in the area with increased forces capable of facing and beating down increased enemy forces

TRADITIONAL OPENING DAY S(0RNED BY SENATE:
 LIVELY SESSION I5 HELD
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. = The opening of Congress, as a dramatic spectacle, ordinarily is flop peroo, a traditionally dull matter in which certain dull traditions are observed without any Straining for pomp.
 The House of Representatives meets, answers roll call, elects a Speaker (Sam Rayburn of Texas this time), gets sworn in en masse (unless there is someone whose credentials are challenged), ap- points committee of three to notify the President that Congress now is in session and ready to receive any communication he de- sires to pass along.
 The Senate meets, answers roll call sWears in the new members in blocs of four appoints a com- mittee of two to notify the Presi- dent.
 The five committee members from the two houses meet in the cloakroom, shake hands around, perhaps have a cup of coffee and then go back to their respective halls to report that the President has been duly notified. Gle hasn't, of course. but the custom is a hangover from pre-telcphone days when the boys had to take to horse and splash through the mud to the White House or else the President might not have known for days but that the gentlemen were up on the Hill fighting mass duel)
 Then the two houses adjourn.

SwaStika
 Ripped
 From Staff

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 20. Two riot calls were turned in for a call for police last Saturday when youths ripped the Swastika flag from the staff of the German Con- sulate here.
 Several thousand persons damned the street outside the building. Mounted police and patrolmen hur- ried to the scene when the crowd started gathering in the forenoon as the big swastika was unfurled in celebration, Consulate officers said, over the founding of the Reich.
 Several young men climbed the fire escape and made their way to the tenth floor, above the Consul late. They managed to get hold of the flag, cut and pull it off the staff.
