 1. To obtain a sound integration" of military and industrial operations for national defense. 2. To obtain a "clear definition of the country's fixed foreign pol icy"
 3. To insure that the administra- tion's armament program will be confined to defense and not border on intervention in international discord."

Legislative Notes

Among the visitors at the ex- ecutive offices in the Capitol yes- terday was Lieut. Roy Rice, of Waterbury and Woodbury, who is one of those mentioned as a possible choice for state police commissioner. He spent some time with Gov. Raymond E. Bald win.
 Another mentioned for the post is County Detective Edward Hickey, member of the staff of States Attorney Hugh M. AlcOrn of Hartford county.

 Gov. Baldwin's broadcast last night was the first of 8 series he plans to deliver, emulating Presi- dent Ro0sevelt's fireside chats, during the next biennium. News of Gov. Baldwin will not be lack ing, for he has a publicity and radio staff in operation since the start of his term.
 Despite criticism of details of his proposal for a change in op- orators license fees, Rep. Charles Harper of Middlebury has found many persons agreeing with the aim of his bill, namely to reward safe drivers and penalize others. His bill will be amended so that only :'major" violations of the mo- tor vehicle laws will result in loss of special privileges.
 Liquor amendments at sharp variance with one another have been introduced by the Connecti- cut Tavern Owners association and the Connecticut Restaurant and Retail Liquor Dealers Board of Trade, state liquor organiza- tions. Amendments of both groups differ from those recommended by Gov. Baldwin in his inaugural message.

France Again Target
OF Fascist Press

ROME. May 13 (P.-France again
became the target of Fascist press
attacks today at Premier Mussolini
departed for Turin to make ar
address tomorrow which some
sources expected might decide fu-
ture relations between France and
Italy.
In some diplomatic quarters it
was thought that Mussolini. in his
speech before a Turin mass meet
ing, might give France a last
chance to settle Italys claims
against her peaceably.
In recent days the Italian press
has been calling on both France
and Britain to take steps toward
settling Europe's open problems
in which it includes Italian CO.
lonial aspirations-before it is too
late"
Demands Are Restated.
Newspapers have mentioned Fas-
cist demands on Djibouti, on the
French-owned railroad from that
Gulf of Alden port to Adds Ababa,
capital of Ethiopia. and on Tunisia
and for part control of the Suez
Canal
After the Turin address II Duce
is scheduled to start on weeks
tour of the Piedmont region. which
borders on France, inspecting mill
tary establishments. troop concen-
trations and public works.
Diplomats here attached i'm
portance to the apparent summons
Of Field Marshal Hermann Will
helm Goering to Germany from a
Mediterranean cruise that had been
expected to include Spain. He left
Leghorn by special train for Ger
many today after debarking from
the motor ship Huascaran.
Goering. who has spent the great
er part of the past two months in
San Reno, on the Italian Riviera,
was called back to Germany Just
before the dissolution of Czecho-
Slovakia and the entry of German
troops into Bohemia -Moravia two
months ago. He was called back a
second time several weeks later
when the Polish-German situation
| became acute.
Link to Duces Speech Seen.
In view of the close cooperation
between the Rome-Berlin axis part
ners, diplomats wondered whether
the German air chiefs return this
time might be connected with
events which may follow Musso-
lini's address.
The newspaper Corriere Padano
of Ferrara, commenting on the re-
cent speeches of French Premier
Daladier and British Prime Min
lister Chamberlain, said British
