The reports said the two dictators oald confer in Munich or Salzburg n 24 hours, which appeared to mean they would get together Sunday. Among subjects which Kome po litical quarters believed would be dis rased between the Axis partners irere plans for a knock-out offensive against Great Britain, further col laboration in the Mediterranean thea ter of war, and possible diplomatic maneuvers designed to strengthen German - Italian - Japanese solidarity vhile offsetting Anglo-American co operation. The last time Hitler and Mussolini met was in Florence October 28. A few hours after, Italian legions poured into Greece only to be driven out later. The meeting of the dictators, Rome said, would precede a German-Italian conference Monday at which, observers predicted, the Axis nations would be welded into an economic unit embrac ing the German-occupied nations of Europe. Under the vast continental econom ic bloc thus envisaged, it was said each country would be assigned to those production tasks for which it was economically best suited. In the military spheres both sides claimed successes. Britain, which mo bilized her civilian man-power in an historically unprecedented step for compulsory fire-bomb fighting, claimed that her air force hit four enemy ships off the Dutch coast, sink ing one and probably two; and that BAF raids on Germany had gained fifty per cent in numbers and effec tiveness in recent months.

ItH probably reach amazing proportions this week when all of the 3,211 male students contact the disease. And each one of those 3,211 men wil be clamoring for one of the 70 beds in the infirmary annex no. 3, Graham Memorial Hospital. Carolina, first in lots of things, is also the first to offer such attractions to the'sick. Who wouldn't want to be sick when the nurses are those beautiful ADPi girls? You no doubt can forsee the budding of several beautiful friend ships. That's not only the only attraction either, although the ADPi will probab ly encourage a drove of new cases. If the patients aren't too busy with the nurses, they can play the checkers, cards, ouigi board, and games provid ed by Dr. Worley. (Plug) Or, if they're blind enough and really do want to relax, they can lie back and listen to the continous music See FLU WORTHWHILE, page 4. Odum Address Hillel Tonight Dr. Howard W.
