REPUBLICANS OF
 STATE ARE SURE
Confident It Will Stay in Their Column in l936
 Election
By WILLIAM D. CLARK

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 14-(UP) Republican leaders considered Connecticut safely tucked "in the bag" for the 1886 national elections and enthusiastically turned to sorting over the party's diversified guber- material prospects with the hope of regaining control of the state on an anticipated anti-Roosevelt sweep.
 A victory in the national cam- paign was based on two assertions, that the state has gone democratic only once in nore than 40 years for Wilson in 1912-and that Con- necticut was one of the few states to escape the Roosevelt landslide in 1882.
 The small town elections of last week, in which republicans gained back 17 communities from the dem- ocrats, was not considered, in a strict sense, repudiation of the New Deal.
 Never Endorsed Roosevelt
 "Connecticut. never endorsed the administration to begin with" a leader pointed out today. Its true we lost two congressman and 8 sen ator, but the record will show they

 PEACE TERMS ON
 HER OWN PLANS
Emperor Selassie Answers With Direct 'NO'-What
 Italy Offered
(Copyright 1885 By United Pressl

Copyright 1885 By United Press)
 Addis Ababa, Oct. 14-(UP) - Italy has made indirect but definite proposals to Ethiopia to end the war in return for substantial sessions Of territory and economic advartasesy government spokesmen revealed to- day.
 Emperor Halle Selassie's answer was flat "no."
 It was reliably learned Italy pro- posed to keep all the territory it's invading armies now occupy and wanted additional concessions to give 1t virtual control of the entire country.
 Emperor Unwilling
 The emperor is unwilling at the present time to give up any Ethi0- plan lands.
 The proposals for peace came to Addis Ababa through the Ethiopian delegation in Geneva which, in turn, heard them from representatives Of several European powers.
 Officials of the ministries of war and foreign affairs believed the att tempt by Count Luigi viiici-G -Gigli- ucci to resist expulsion from the country was in expectation that oc- casion would develop for negotia- tions of peace.
 The government was undecided today whether to allow the ambas- sador to remain until two Italian consuIs arrive from hinterland points or to deport him without ceremony. He is under close "ob-s servation" in Q private house to which he was removed Saturday from his legation. His meals are be- ing furnished by the government, reportedly to prevent "any niaIlu- factured incident" such as, possibly. a poison plot.
