Some Plan Reached


Berlin, Nov. 14-(UP)-Russian
Premier Foreign Commissar V. M,
Molotov's two-day conferences with
Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders
have led to agreement on all i'm
portant questions" an official COM
munique said today,
The communicate, issued soon after
Molotov and his party of 80 Russian
officials left for Moscow, said that
the Russian exchange of opinions
with the Reich government occurred
in an atmosphere of mutual trust"
During his presence in Berlin No
vember IL and 13 of this year, V. M,
Molotov, chairman of the Soviet peo-
pies commissars and foreign minis
ter of the Soviet Union had con-
ference with the fuehrer and
Reich Minister for Foreign Affairs
Joachim Won Ribbentrop. An ex-
change of opinions occurred in an
atmosphere of mutual trust and led
to agreement on all important ques-
tons of interest to Germany and the
Soviet Union"
Points Touched On
From the few surface indications
of the past two days well informed
persons believed that the conference
had touched on one or all the fol-
lowing points:
/. The creation of what the news
paper National zeitung described a
few days ago as a world coalition"
against Great Britain, with Ger
many, Italy Russia and Japan in
dominant roles;
2. The formation of what German
political quarters have called an
Inter continental peace system" af-
ter the war, with the four powers
leading.
8. The question of Turkey and
the Near East;
4. German Russian economic re:
lations.

Great Britain Is
Snubbed By Soviet
Russia Got Promise Before MOlOtOv Left for Session
With Hitler; Nazis Believed Have Russian Sympathy

to Berlin by Soviet aircraft industry
leaders.
One source here believed that with
his fingers crossed Molotov in Berlin
gave Hitler assurance that Ger
many's policy in the Balkans did not
affect Soviet interests adversely.
Germany, in turn, was considered
likely to have recognized "Russia's
mission in ASIA" a term which could
be applied to Iran (Persia) and
Afghanistan rather than to regions
in which there is Russo-Japanese
rivalry.
In Berlin, it was believed, Hitler
sought Russian support of efforts to
smash the Anglo-Turkish alliance.
1t was not considered likely that any
effort would be made to force Turkey
into the Axis but it was suggested
that she should become "mummi-
fled neutral"

Artillery Duel.

Belgrade, Nov. 14.-(UP)-Fron-
tier reports today said that Greek
artillery was engaged in heavy
duel with Italian guns In the Korit-
"a sector.
The artillery duel was said to
have started last night and contin-
ued today.
Greek guns in mountain positions
were pouring an almost continuous
stream of shells into Koritza where
Italian achievements are said to
have been brought up in the last
few days.
Italian batteries, also emplaced in
the mountains, were hitting back at
the Greek guns.
The Greeks are said to be hold
ing all their positions and to be
continuing hopping up operations
against scattered units of the Ital-
ian third Alpine division in the
central sector of the Northern Spurs
of the Pindus mountains. 1t was
in that area that the Italians
launched an unsuccessful attack
Monday and then were forced TO
retreat back toward Albania.

Strange Communiaue.

Rome, Nov. 14.-(UP)-An ex-
traordinary communique issued to-
day assailed British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill for a fantasia
cally distorted" version of the Brit
ish bombing attack on the Italian
fleet at laramie.
ITALY does not judge it neces-
sary to hasten a reply to such ten
dencious misstatements of facts as
contained in the speech of Churchill
and the declarations of Alexander
(flrst Lord of the British Admiral
ty)," the communique said
Undoubtedly the occasion will
arise in the next few days to issue
detailed account not only regard
ing laramie but also the entire air
and naval situation in the Mediter-
ranean."
The communique said that in
contrast to the British claim (of
smashing six or seven Fascist war
ships) a correct version Of the at
tack on laramie was given in the
Italian communique, which said
one naval unit had been hit and
that six British planes had been
shot down.

I have been able to find out has

I have discussed this depart

that as far as the fire depart

all his conclusions on theory. He
justifies the "a hour week for the

are hundreds of men ready to
take these jobs If the men are
not satisfied.

Denial Of Supt. Roach.
Supt. Of Police William j. Roach
yesterday denied that the Water
bury police department is over
stated and brought statistics de-
signed to show that the local de-
partment is proportionately smaller
than in other cities of the state.
The chief defended the size OF
his force in the face Of a demand
from the Waterbury Taxpayers
League that 20 per cent Of the local
be Topped off. The de-
mand was made to the board Of
finance, which reserved action on
the police budget after hearing both
sides. The board Is aiming at a
tax rate OF 81 mills and has already
slashed $4,000 from the proposed
city budget for 1941, without yet
having considered the street and
educational departments proposed
budgets.
The Taxpayers league charged
that several days ago the police
force was overmanned and backed
their claim with statistics from
cities the size of Waterbury. Roach
replied by bringing statistics from
other cities in this state, which he
said, showed the local force to be
smaller proportionately.
The chief said that all the towns
named by the Taxpayers league are
outside the state and have only the
problem of providing protection fol
their own citizens, while Waterbury
has the added burden of thousands
of tourists.

WINSLOW, ARIZ.-An old story
concerning military enlistment eff

been revived.
In 1917, the Arizona Indians heard
a voluble army recruiting sergeant
describing the war and overseas
journey to Europe. 1t was an elo-

Afterward the Indians consulted
among themselves. The Apache

statement:
Eyes, we will fight, but you bring
