Hitler Speech Awaited

London, Jan. 1B-(UP)--Adolf tfit- Ter may make claims to colonial ter- ritory feature of his speech to the reichstag January 30, sixth anhiver- sary of the Nazi accession to power, 1t was reported today as the cabinet met to discuss Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's visit to Premier Ben- ito Mtissolifli of Italy.
 It had been assumed here that any new German diplomatic move would concern eastern Europe. Usually well informed diplomatic quarters fe- ceived reports today, however, that the Nazis would push their claims to colonies, instead, coincideflt with 1taly's demands on France for Medi= terranean concessions.
 As regards reports that Hitler might raise the colonial question ifi in the speech he is to make to the reichstag, it was suggested that Af1y German claim to colonial territory might be linked with an offer of afi agreement to limit artnaments Such an offer might lead the way to 6 four r-power conference-Great Bfit- ain, France, Germany and 1ta1y--to discuss German and Tatliaf claims, and eventual arms limitation.
 What He Told Poland
 There was 6 growing belief here that Hitler told Josef Beck, Polish foreign minister, at their recent talk at Berchetesgaden that the colonial issue, rather than any campaign for an independent Ukraine, would be the dominant problem of 1889. Also diplomats believed that Mtssolifli would not be so otitspoket as to his dispute with France if there was a chance that Hitler might find a1l his attention absorbed by an eastern European problem.
 The chief international item was 6 discussion of the talks which Chamberlain and vise6unt Halifax, foreign secreatry, had at Rome with Mussolini and his sof1-in-1aw, F6f= eign Minister Count Ga1eazzo Ciafi6. Halifax reported also on his talks at Geneva with Georges Bonnet, French foreign minister, after the Rome talks.
 Spain, Palestine, credits for cze6i16- slovakia, and possibly early ree6fi- struction of the cabinet were other topics.

The Culhane bill amends the city charter so that property owners are allowed 12 months in which to pay their sewer assessments instead of the 120 days now provided.
 Further than this the bill states that If any federal government agency assumes any of the cost of sewer construction, thereby reduc- ing the cost to the city, such saving shall be apportioned to property owners by reduction of assessments.
 Senator Culhane presented seven bills in all today, one of them allow ing Post Business College of Water- bury to confer the degree of Asso- ciate in Arts (A.A) and Associate in Science GA. S.) under the name of the Post Junior College.
 Another would decrease from 18 to 2 the period before nominating petitions must be filed with the Town Clerk before being sent to the Secretary of State.
 The use of voting machines in towns of 5000 population or over would be mandatory in another bill. The present law makes them man. datory in towns of 10000 population and over
 There were two blank bills among the Culhane measures, one concern- inf closed banks, the other invest- ment trust funds.
 Still another calls upon the gov- ernor to name voting machine commission of three members whose duties would be regular periodic in- spection of all voting machines used in local, state or national elections.
 Mahaney Pleasures
 Representative Daniel J. Mahaney of Waterbury today introduced a bill that would require the gover- nor's Foot Guard to parade at Bos- ton next August at the national convention of the Veterans Of For eign Wars.
 Another bill, entered at the re- quest of the Connecticut department of the American Legion, would set up a juvenile court system in this state.

Reminder of Spring
In Floral Arrangements.
There was a reminder of spring
in the effective floral display in the
state rooms last night, with giant
branches of pussy willow mingling
with the fragrant flowers from the
Mansions hot houses. Laddie carna-
tions and feathery ferns banked the
mantels in the east room and the
giant vases in this room were filled
with pink snapdragons and pussy
willow. Deep pink carnations adorned
the end tables in the green room
and in the blue room. which was
divided by screen Of tall palms
sprayed with white carnations and
snapdragons, there were yellow snap
dragons and talisman roses on the
mantel. In the long red corridor the
great stone tubs were filed with
ferns dotted with red carnations and
IN the inches were clusters of pussy
willow and carnations. Low silver
bowls of pink roses were used on
the long banquet table in the state
dining room where light refresh
ments, such as dainty cakes, punch
nuts and candies were served. Red
roses graced the mantel and, tables
in the red room and the inches up
the stairway from the ground floor
of the Mansion to the state parlors
were filled in with ferns and carna-
tions.
The guests. representing every
State in the Union, made their way
into the state suite, the Marine
Band Orchestra stationed in the
marble corridor played. and after
the reception hour the Navy Band
Orchestra played for the dancing
in the east room
The party was one of the smallest
of the state receptions given in this
administration, with the unofficial
count at the close of the reception
reaching the total of 961. The cut
ting down of the lists of those in
vited to White House functions
this season has added considerably
to the charm of all state recep-
tions. One may enjoy the beauty
of the state parlors in comfort, and
there is lacking that annoying
crowding and gentle pushing,
