STORY

LONDON, Dec. 81 - R -
Adolf Hitler called high German
and Italian military leaders and
Pierre Laval, Axis-following
Vichy French leader, to his
headquarters over the weekend
for a discussion of questions of
common strategy" and observers
here quickly speculated that the
Allied Armies in North Africa
provided the toughest question
of all.
The German announcement OF
the meeting was characteristic
cally vague, disclosing that the
meeting twas a token of the
firm determination of the Axis
powers to employ all their ener-
gies for winning final victory"
and that with regard to all
questions discussed, a full agree
ment of conception was estab-
lished." -
But the significance of the
meeting was indicated in the list
of those present, which includ-
ed Reichsmarshal Her mann

Key City Feels
Impact Of Sind
Roid by British

LONDON, Dec. 21-(P)-The
Raj pounded Germany's great
inlan port of Duisberg at the
junction of the Rhine and Ruhr
rivers last night in a swift fol-
low-up to a daylight raid by
American Flying Fortresses
which dared swarms of German
fighters to penetrate deep into
occupied France yesterday.
The size of the force which at
tackled Duisberg was not imme-
diately disclosed, but an an
nouncement that II planes were
lost in the assault was taken by
observers as an indication that
a considerable number partici-
pated.
The attack on Duisberg was
the SIND on that importan. COM

and the fifth night attack on Ger

The last night assault on the
Reich was last Thursday, when
northwest Germany was attack
ed in bad weather with a loss of
ID planes.
Six Of the big American bomb
ers were lost, but 40 German
fighters were shot down in the
sweep by u. S. forces deep into
France yesterday, raid that
produced sharp battles.

LONG TALKS

conference received only one
sentence in the communique. "A
