Foreign observers ,discounting the
possibility that this action might
take the form of a land offensive,
believed Reynaud would seek to in
crease Frances efficiency in the war
of siege and stiffen her diplomatic
resistance against extension of Ger
mar influence among neutrals.

the government.
Hostility Apparent
Hostility to Reynaud among many
radical-socialists was apparently
based on the belief that Daladier,
who belongs to that group, had re.
ceived a raw deal"
Many leading French publicists
also commended that even those who
brought about his resignation ty alb
staining were surprised and had
wanted only to make a show of
strength against him.
Press comment in general indicat-
ed a belief that Reynaud should be
given a chance to show what lis

There was a general feeling that

was in Germany.
Men usually we'll informed put the
date of Molotoff's likely arrival all the
way from next Tuesday to a fort
night hence.
1t was believed possible that
Italy's foreign minister, Count Gale-
azzo Ciano, might be in Berlin at
the same time, although it could not
be learned definitely whether nego-
tiations had progressed far enough
to permit this.
If and when Molotoff comes o
Berlin it may be taken for granted
that a t~hree-poWer understanding
concerning southeastern Europe
will result, according to which Rus
STA, Germany and Italy, without Civ
ing up their ideologies and without
tieing themselves beyond the dura-
ton of the present war, will agree:
1. To keep the Balkans at peace,
and
9. To consult the Balkan nations
themselves oh the kind of arrange
ment necessary in southeastern Eu-
rope after the present war to ensure
a stable peace.
Russia In
(After the Bremen Pass confer
ence between Fuehrer Hitler and
Premier Mussolini last Monday
sources in Berlin usually we'll in
formed said it had been agreed that
Russia would join the Rome-Berlin
axis in a political, archaeological
maneuver by which Russia would
aid Germany's war effort by supply
ing raw materials without actually
becoming a belligerent. Rome report
ed that Hitler and Mussolini agreed
to forge a ring of neutral states
around Germany in the southeast
with Russia's help, thus making
Germany invulnerable to attack from
that quarterly
German officials for the most part
went nome or to the countryside to-
day for a brief Easter vacation be-
lieving that Molotoff would come, al
though authorized sources remained
as non-committal about rumors to
this effect as they had been about
the meeting at Bremen Pass On
Monday. They would neither affirm
nor deny, except to say that no poll
teal events of magnitude were in
prospect during Easter"
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib

Easter-another indication that lie
is working on something more than a
routine matter. Although yesterday

Experienced analysts were uncer-
tain whether the winters decline in

their expectations. Others were dis

RALEIGH, March 23-R-Boards
of elections met today in each of the
states 100 counties to launch North
Cardinals first statewide drive to
purge primary registration books of
dead men, "repeaters," and persons
who have moved away.
Principal business before each
county board, besides the election Of
a chairman and secretary. was to
decide. whether a new registration
should be held in the county, or
whether a listing of voters would
suffice.
Reports tonight from scattered
counties indicated that the majority
of the boards ordered a new regis
tration.
The drive 70 purge the primary
books, made mandatory by the 1889
general assembly, was the first since
the primary law was enacted n 1915.
Some counties, including Craven and
Alarnance, have not had a new regis
tration since that date.
In most counties where a relisting
was ordered, registrations had been
held within the last decade, and the
books were deemed 10 be IN reason
