 London, Dec. is - (UP.) Pierre Laval is going to confer with Adolf Hitler in the next few days to agree to German "advisers" being station. ed in all Vichy government depart- ments and to negotiate formation of Q new vichy army by German "ex- perts", advices from the continent said today.
 Dispatches which reached Spain from France said that hundreds ot Vichy civil servants, informed of La- val's plan, had locked their desks, thrown away the keys and gone home. Some tackled notices on office doors: Closed indefinitely"
 Likewise most army officers, in- vited to resume service in c new army under 0erman-imposed con- ditions indignantly refused, the dis- patches said.
 Germany yesterday began broad casting irtimations that Laval would start soon for Germany to confer with Hitler.
 A later broadcast said that Laval was still in Vichy last night and would preside ct e cabinet meeting today Ito give last instructions be- fore his departure abroad" This broadcast said that 1t was uncertain, whether Laval would leave Paris after arriving there from Vichy, to. day or tomorrow.
 The substitution of abroad" for Germany indicated that he might confer with Hitler outside Germany

AXIS SUBS SANK
 PRISONER SHIP
t,SO0 Italians Killed; Nazis
 Knew Prisoners Were X Aboard

An East Coast Port, Dec. l5--(De- layedl-(Url-Six Axis submarines sent torpedoes crashing into c Brit lsh transport off the west African coast last September, killing an estt- mated 1,500 Italian war prisoners and 800 other persons for possibly tho greatest torpedo death toll in marine history, survivors said today
 The ship was returning to Britain from Egypt when 1t was attacked by on Italian and i've German subr1a- rines, whose commanders apparently knew the prisoners were aboard.
 One German captain told 6 sur v1vors
 If you had half of the Italian nation on her, wc would have still fsred.s
 About i,ol0 persons were rescued from lifehoats by a French cruiser and taken to Casablanca. French Morocco. where they were intelned untn American forces occupied the area last month. Only some BOG Italians were saved out of Q force of 1,S00 captured in Africa. The rest of the passenger list was mostly British. including 30 women and children-wives and children of British offlcers-most of whom were eaved.
 The death toll far exceeded pre- vious warship disasters--the torped- oing of the Lusitania in 1915. when l.i9S lives were lost, and the sinking of the Athenia in 1889 with Q loss of l,l04.
 Ths two torpedoes which mortally wounded the transport struck on the side where the Italians were auartered, and many of them were Killed outright. The others were thrown into q panic,
 Survivors told of e night of horror as the Italians drowned by scores, leaping over the side and overturn- mg lfeboats. Screams pierced the darkness as sharks dragged of per. sons who chung to the overcrowded boats. some who came through the night alive were horribly mangled by sharp -toothed barracuda.
 Soon after the attack the subma" ines came to the surface and pick d up many survivors, including several hundred of the Italians, who .ater were transferred to lifeboats,
 One German officer apologized tor having to put Italians into the iifeboats with you Britishers."
