 Norwich, Conn.,, Sept. 1-(UP)- Regarded as the nominal head of the republican party in Connecticut following the death of J. Henry Roraback, States Attorney Arthur M. Brown today enthusiastically endorsed former President Hoover's plan for an off-year COP. na- tional convention to draft a decla- ration of party principles.

 Undoubtedly he is acutely con- scious of the dangers of assassina- ton, especially since the murder of his long time friend, Sergei Kirov, which proved that even Soviet chifetains of the inner ring were not safe from political assassins.
 Didn't Greet Aviators
 Although it generally was expected that Stalin would go to the railroad station to greet the first group of aviators who flew over the North Pole to America, he did not appear. The government staged show ren- iniscent of New York welcomes complete with millions of scraps of paper flung from buildings (except in this case they were anti-fascist leaflets). Stalin received the flyers later at the Kremlin.
 When he does emerge from the Kremlin, he is guarded more care fully than any other world figure. He speeds to his country estate m a shiny new Soviet car with green glass windows and modelled on the lines of the Lincoln and Packard.
