To Russia Held Up
By Mo|otoff Talks
Visit to Germany Seen
As Indicating Closer
Collaboration With Axis
By GARRETT ID. HORNER.

American and British efforts to
improve relations with Soviet Rus
sia appeared definitely sidetracked
today by Soviet Premier Vyacheslaff
Molotoff's S visit to Germany for talks
with Adolf Hitler.
State Department officials made
no comment on the implications of
the visit, but it was interpreted gen.
orally here as an indication that
closer collaboration between Russia
and the axis powers may be ex-
pected
Although definite conclusions may
not be drawn until results of the
Russian talks are known. it
was considered probable that the
groundwork had been we'll laid in
advance to assure success of neootia-
tions for at least passive assistance
by Russia in the drives for conquest
by Germany. Italy and Japan.
Development No Surprise.
such a development could not be
teamed surprise to officials here.
Eforts to remove points of friction
be4ween this Government and Rus
sia through discussions between
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles and Constantine Oumansky
Soviet Ambassador, were undertaken
with little hope of weaving Russia
away from the axis orbit The re-
mote possibility of such a develop
rnpcidnrol tI,o Of
fort. however.
The only apparent results of the
Welles- s-Oumansky talks so far has
been the release of some S7000000
worth of machine tools for export to
Russia and the charter of some
tankers to the Soviet. The United
States refused to compromise long
established principles of national
defense and foreign policy in order
to make concessions sufficient to
satisfy Russian wishes.
The freezing" of assets in this
country of Lithuania. Estonia end
Latvia, the three Baltic states taken
over by Russia during the summer
the detention of ships of the Baltic
states in American ports and sharp
restrictions on export of equipment
and materials needed in the national
defense program were among the
questions on which this Government
would not relent.
Talks Here Believed Ended.
Premier Molotoff's visit to Ger
many was expected to result in the
talks here being broken off entirely
unless the developments in Berlin
should take an unexpected turn
Speculation on the main purpose
of Molotoff's s journey centered or
Turkey, the neutral ally of Great
Britain and guardian of the Darda
nelles.
Despite a wildly-held belief that
Russia would never accede to Ger
man control of the straits leading
into the Black Sea from the Medi-
terranean or extension of German
influence to neighboring Turkey
certain Informed quarters appeared
to be expecting some such develop

in New York by Samuel j. Pryor, jr..

Of organizations in the Republican
campaign, and individuals made
contributions to pay for certain
things. They spent a great deal of
money
DO you think that they violated

II don't know enough about the
legal aspects of the Hatch Act to

something for the congressional
committees to determine"

Sobers Discarded
As Equipment for
Army Officers

Army officers no longer VIII be re-
quired to use sabers while serving
with troops. the War Department
announced today. 1t was explained
the Army now is concentrating on
field training in which no saber is
needed.
Historically, the saber always has
been part of Army fighting equip
ment. However, during the last war
it was discarded as useless in combat.
At the same time, it was ordered
that the Sam Browne belt (officer's
belt) would be worn only when the
service coat or blouse is used and
arms are not carried by the officers.

Molotoff had finished taking the
salute.
There were no flags decorating the
streets along which Molotof was
driven to Bellevue Castle. Men and
women watched curiously from WIN
doWs of buildings opposite the sta
ton, but there were no shouts.
A crowd was gathering in the
square before the Reich's Chancel-
lery, but no cardboard flags were
distributed as was the case when the
pact between Germany, Italy and
Japan was signed here Septem-
Der 81.
Informed sources said the cere-
monies today were patterned closely
upon those attending Ribbentrops
state visit to Moscow.
At Bellevue Castle. Molotoff was
welcomed by DR.. Otto Meissner,
chief of Hitler's presidential chan
celery.
Staff of 33 Accompany Him.
The Russian statesman was &C
companied here from Moscow by a
staff of 33 experts on foreign affairs,
commerce, aviation and industry.
Also with him was the German
Ambassador to Moscow, Count
Frederick Won der Schulenberg.
Molotoff set foot for the first time
on German territory last night,
when his special train entered the
border town of Malkinia which
little more than a year ago was part
of Poland.
The possibility of far-reaching
decisions affecting Russia's relations
with the Berlin -Rome-Tokio part
ners was indicated by the Diplo-
matisch- -Politische Korrespondenz,
frequently the mouthpiece of the
German Foreign Office.
This commentary declared close
ties between Germany and Russia
have promoted relations between
the U. S. S. r. and the friends and
allies of Germany"

It said, "are ready today to respect

The Toxic newspaper ASahl,
commenting on Molotoff's trip,
said it was necessary for Ger
many and Italy to obtain full
Soviet support for the establish
ment of new world order"
Asahi suggested 1T would be
most advisable for Germany and
Italy to come to a full political
understanding with the Soviet
Union. so the latter could not be

political developments were indie

Russian-German policy, it said,
SIS independent of the outward con-
ditions of the present, and therefore
OF the hostilities which today claim
the attention of one of the partners.
Therefore, the present conflict
cannot hinder the absolute will Of
the two powers to create ordered
conditions on their border spheres. u

Correct Color Choice Adds TO Charm
OF Room; Decorators Make Floor Darkest

The choice of a coior scheme Is
one of the most important fac
tors in furnishing any room; foi
without harmony and appropriate
ness of color and without colors
that are interesting and charac-
terful. the most sumptuous of fur
nishings become lifeless and I'M
pleasing On the other hand. il
is amazing the amount of charm
and beauty can be given the sim
plest of furnishings, when colors
are happily chosen and artistically
combined.
In most cases, decorators arc
making floors darkest, walls light
er, and ceilings lightest Of all
For several years we have been
reversing that old rule and using
very dark ceilings and light floor
covering, just by way of variation
But home-oWners have found this
not quite SO restful or pleasing as
they had thought, and lighter cell
ings and darker floors are again
first choice.
Rules to Follow
n There are several other dec
stors' rules it would be we'll to
Remember in planning a color
scheme. Vivid tones should be saved
for the smaller objects, rather than
major pieces of furniture. Bright,
warm colorS will make a room seem
smaller, light colorS, larger.
Plan to use three or more colors
in your room--feWcr will make for
monotony.
Cool COlOrS
Another good rule, if you arc not
an expert decorator: in bright,
sunny rooms with southern ex-
poSure, let cool colors be the most
outstanding-greens, blues, grays,
etc. Supplement them with bits of
warm color for interest, but let
the "cools' predominant. In north
rooms, let the balance of tones be
in the reds. oranges, yellows, rusts,
etc. Decorators often disregard this

rule in order to achieve some spe-
cial effect, but it takes an expert
to make the room inviting and
friendly.
SO much for the general choice
of colors. Now as to combining
them. There is no end TO the tech
nical rules for combining tones,
but unless one is an artist or will
ing to make . deep study of color
charts and what not they are apt
to be confusing. One of the sim
plest methods Of choosing color
scheme is to select draperies first
Crowded they are to be figured)
and then take these colors In the
pattern for the entire rooms COL
or scheme.
Floor Suggestions
Match the floor covering TO the
main color in the fabric, use the
other tones in upholstery mate
rials, dccorativeS, etc, being sure
to repeat the most vivid colorS
in the smaller objects. If plain
draperieS are to be used. then per-
haps the colors in one of the up
holstery fabrics could be picked
up, or even the colors of lovely
painting might be used.
Many decorators today arc plan
ming entire rooms around single
fine painting or reproduction, us
ing the dominant color for drap-
cries and floor covering, and re-
pcating the other tones of the
picture in chair and sofa covers
