 Dislikes Attacks On Poland
 As viewed in Berlin, Italy has three objections to any German move against Poland:
 l. Italy and Poland are friendly
 2. A German thrust at Danzig pr the Polish Corridor would put Ger many in the position of again ops eratinfi axis politics to her adyanT tage while Italy guarded Germanyz back door without pay.
 3. Italy might be involved ils German-Polish war in which she would have no interest.
 Some quarters took an entirely different view of the Nazi leaders visits. They said that possibly the British and French negotiatio for military agreement with Russia was about to be offset by strength ening of the Rome Berlin axis into a formal military alliance, to which point it has never developed off cially. They also believed that Col T Gen. Won Brauchitsch had been so impressed by the strength of Italy's army, navy and air force, that Hit Ter believed it was time to dem onstrate his friendship with his axis partner.
 Nevertheless, Mussolini's restive- ness, the mere idea that he might seek quick agreement with France and the apathy of the Italian pub- lie on the Polish question tended to offset the usual press comment on the justice" of Gmany's claims to Danzig and suggestions that the anti-comintern pact should be made stronger.

 It was recalled that Germany al- ready has guaranteed to respect the integrity of Belgium and Switzer- land, while the Netherlands refused such a pact when the Belgian guar antee was given about two years ago.
 Polish Attacks Continue
 The German press continued to report alleged Polish atrocities. The official news agency reported from Gleiwitz that windows in the head quarters of the young German party ct Biala had been smashed. windows of German homes broken as well as many other attacks on German properly"
 The agency said Poles attacked the German peoples bookstore, overlurning shelves, tearing up and Snearlng books with ink, breaking furniture and stealing part Of the stock.

sion pacts was considered by foreign observers today to be threat to the unity of the Scandinavian coun- tries as well as an embarrassing problem for the four capitals of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
 Norwalk, Sweden and Finland are able to risk the consequences of re- fusal but Denmark, in an exposed position, is not eager to risk the wrath of Germany. All the Scan- dinavians, however, wish to remain free of commitments to any group of powers.
 The foreign ministers of the four powers will meet here next Tuesday to decide on a uniform reply to Ger many. They are expected to seek solution which would avoid a breach in their ranks.
 The first indication was that they will play for time, informing Ber- lin that the problem requires study
 The Scandinavian countries also can argue that they led the move ment to suspend Article 16 of the League of Nations covenant (the sanctions article) in order to remain neutral, and also refrained from commitments to other nations, so thatt therefore they do not desire to enter into an agreement with Germany.
 Norway also is able to cite a statement in parliament by c. J. Hambro, speaker of the Sorting, that Norway will not accept a Bri- tish guarantee if it is offered.

tory speech by Beck.
 Insist Otl Danzig
 Beck, 1t was declared today, will insist on restricting the Danzig problem to liquidation of league of nations control and announce his readiness to confer with Germany and other interested powers on the subject.
 Beck's proposal would be for withdrawal of the league high com- missioner in Danzig, abolition of the league protectorate over the Free State and substitution of a German-Polish guarantee of the state.
 (Under the league rules, Poland has wide economic advantages in Danzig, port privileges and control of foreign affairs. The state is an area of 791 square miles with a population of 385,000 at the last census, 96 per cent of the people being German.)
 Refer to Democracies
 Beck also is expected to devote much of his speech to Polish rela- tions with Britain and France, es- pecially the British defense agree ment, the status of the Polish French military alliance and events of recent weeks in central and east ern Europe.
 The premier, Gen. Felicjan Slawo- Skladkowski, is expected to speak briefly before Beck.
 Well-informed sources believe Beck's speech will be conciliatory rather than challenging, although its contents sare a close-guarded se- cret.
 The government proceeded mean while with it's military preparations, including the maintenance of Po- lands 100000 on a war footing, and with plans to obtain for Presi- dent Ignacy Moscicki powers to rule by decree until Nov. 1.

 On Verge of Swing
 Behind all the visits, observers saw a strong indication that Italian for eign policy was on the verge of swing. Mussolini was understood to have advised Hitler directly to ''go asy" in his dealing with Poland The Italian public was represented as being out of sympathy with any German plan to seize Danzig.
 There also have been many spec ulative reports in the past few days that Italy wainted an understanding with France. Fascist leaders have said that Italy never has ceased to want Frances friendship and the only drawback was that the initia- tive must come from France, which must abandon the idea that an Italo- French accord would auto- matically pry Italy loose from the Berlin Rome axis.
 French circles in Rome, while denying that there had been any recent negotiations, have hinted that the ground was being prepared for them. Significantly, French news papers have been discussig nthe idea of such conversations. The Paris Excelsior said yesterday h { French Italian conciliation was closer than at any time since Ital-

 Democrats to Fight
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 4(UP)- Democrats were reported today preparing to fight proposal of the legislative motor vehicle committee to have state police conduct ex- animation of automobiles and trucks on Connecticut highways. Rising opposition to the state police ban brought forward a democratic suggestion to continue in use the present inspection lanes. Examinations, however, would not be compulsory as the law now pro- vides.
 The state police bill provided for addition to the force of 50 men ana an increase in the automobile regis tration fee of 50 cents. The police would be authorized to stop any vehicle on the highways, and if they found 1t deficient, could order it to an inspection lane. Floor Leaders Picks Slate
 Hartford, Conn.,. May 4-CUP)- Floor leaders of both Senate and House will draw up slate of minor court judges and county commits sioners for General Assembly ap- proval, it was disclosed today,

 Probe Old Age Assistance
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 4(UP)- The Senate unanimously adopted resolution today calling for an in- vestigation of the old age assistance division of the state welfare de- partment.
 The resolution was offered by Sen. Daniel J. Mccarthy, D., Anso- mia, who said the inquiry would be directed to determine whether the departments appropriation was sufficient "to have it function in a satisfactory manner" He said he had been told by re- cipients of pensions that there was shortage of Investigators and a "slowness" in accepting and exan1- ming claims and in disburSing pay ments.
 There is nothing more behind this resolution than to bring the old age assistance division to point where it can be of service to the people," Mccarthy declared.
 The investigation group would be composed of five seantors, not more than two of whom would be from each major party. The fifth prob ably would be one of the two Social istS in the upper house.
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 4.-(UP)- The House today rejected a bill which would have prohibited lobby ing in the legislature except by per- sons in the interest of bills concern ing themselves.
 The measure had the support of labor organizations.
 Also rejected was a proposal to repeal statute allowing banks to charge more than 12 per cent in- terest on mortgage loans exceeding $500.
 Seven Senate bills calling for a direct primary system were killed, and other prohibiting political of flee holders from registering as legislative lobbyists or contributing ti campaign funds.

Maxim Litvinov Drops From Office Suddenly

Foreign Minister Joachim von Rib bentrop received Soviet Ambassador F. .Merkuloff recently, and when Adolf Hitler in his reichstag speech last week omitted his usual attack on bolshevism.
 Speaks French, German Molotov lived abroad before the Russian revolution and speaks French and German, but has had no direct experience in diplomacy.
 In Berlin, the newspaper Boersen- zeitung said: we may justly assume that Litvinov's resignation ill suits England and France at the present moment. We leave those who feel themselves weak and are walking from door to door imploring help, to puzzle over whether Molotov will steer the old or new course. For us it is sufficient to know that with Litvinov-Finkelstein, ended the champion of that Soviet diplomacy whose failures are as numerous as are the successes of the reich"

 Officials at Czech ministry, in- cluding Minister Vladimir Hurban, refraned from issuing any state ments.
 Unofficial Czech sources predicted that Germany was making 8 mis- take, recalling that the Czechs had fought thet Austro-H Hungarian em- pire for nearly 200 years. They said Germany was creating for itself a problem similar to the Irish problem to Great Britain-that the Czechs would not take the German action passively.
 There seemed to be little doubt that the U. S.-Czech trade agree ment was dead. The government which signed it on March IT, 1888 has disappeared and most of its ter ritory has passed, or is in the pro- cess of passing, into German or other hands.

FRANCE QuERIEs HITLER

Paris, March 15.-(UP)-France broke the complete "hands of" pol- icy of the European democracies to- day by asking Germany what her intentions were in regard to the Carpatho- Ukraine.
 Without indicating any intention of doing more than asking what to expect, the foriegn office instructed Robert Coulondre, ambassador at Berlin, to inquire concerning Ger man plans. The request will be a formal demarche.
 France, which encircled Germany after the World War with "circle of steel" alliances to prevent her from ever regaining her military power, is an ally of Rumania, which l adjacent to the Carpatho- Ukraine The French also had a military alli- ance with Czechoslovakia, and still have alliances with Poland and Soviet Russia.
