 Won't Take Advice
 There semed no remaining doubt that Hitler had based all his strategy for the winter, against the advice of some members of the high command including Halder, on the belief that Slatingrad would be in German hand early in September.
 One report which reached here said that at a conference in Berlin last August Hitler decided Stalin- grad should be taken and then the Germans should establish a winter holding line so that as many men as possible could be sent to western Europe, to meet any allied invasion or even to attempt an invasion ot Britain. The general staff was said to have replied vainly that it was necessary, rather than take Stalln- grad or any other place, to crush the Russian army.
 There was doubt in official quar- ters here of reports of troubled re- lations between Germany and Italy.
 One reason for the reports was that Gestapo Chief Himmler had visited Benito MusA0lini at Rome.
 Another was that Germany was angry because the United States had withdrawn enemy alien status from Italians in America.
