HITLER HOLDS
 CONFERENCES
Meets With CianO, Laval; Latter Gets Only Short
 Appointment
. By WILLIAM D. prCKINsoN

United Press stan Correspondent)
 London, Dec. 22-(Up)--Adoif Hitler, beset by Allied offensives, With Galeazzo Ciano, Italian For- etgn Minister, and Pierre Laval of France, Axis broadcasts announced to-day.
 The TEitler-Laval conference re. vived runors in Stockholm that Vichy might reach a peace settle- ment with Germany and declare war on the Allies, and Radio Paris, German controlled, quoted the Paris Collaborationist leader Marcel Deat as saying that Frances main task was now to build a new army.
 Ciano, substituting for his father n-law, Benito Mussolini, arrived at Hitler's headquarters Friday and re- mained until Sunday morning. Laval, fighting for his political life as dictator at Vichy, was permitted into the conference briefly Satur- day and left he same day.
 An Axis communique announced Chat Ciano and Hitler discussed the common pursuit of war aims by Italy and Germany.
 If Laval was permitted to see Hit Ter alone at all it was only for a few minutes, and he was sent away immediately after a general talk in which Ciano, Joachim von Ribben- trop, German Foreign Minister and Field Marshal Hermann Goering, German air force chief and eco- homie dictator, took part.
 Various Axis communiques and semi-official announcements, indi- cated that Hitler and Ciano talked over the entire situation with spe- cial attention to military problems including the defense of the Medi- terranean, and Hitler, Ciano and Laval discussed future Vichy rela- tions with Italy as we'll as Ger many
 The fact that Benito Mussolini, as executive head of the Italian gov- ernment. did not atten the confer ence might be taken to mean either that reports of his Ill health were correct or that Hitler had snubbed him as he snubbed Laval.
