 There also was talk of the possi- bility of creating the position of ex- ecutive secretary on the state com mittee, post which would carry salary of about $4,500.
 Creation of such a position, it was said, would relieve the new state chairman of many routine party duties.
 The Pryor sources said the condi- ton of Republican finances, both in the state and nation, were better than ever before" The party in Connecticut, it was said, lis in the black"

 The governor indicated in a press conference late last week that he would retain his interests in politics anu public affairs.

Or the latter occasion Ribbentrop and Molbtov signed @ so-called frontier friendship treaty." alloting con. quered Poland between Germany and Russia.
 Unofficial indications here were that Molotov's visit concerned the next step in the Axis powers plan fol a world coalition against Britain, as was suggested yesterday by the newspaper National Zeitung, ano that Turkeys position and German Russian economic cooperation also would be discussed.
 British Are Gloomy
 London, Nov. 12 - (U.Po - Bri- tons took gloomy view today of Russian Premier-F Foreign Commissal V. M. Molotov's visit to Berlin.
 It was believed generally that Turkey would figure prominently iil his conversations with Adolf Hitler and that the outcome might be re- newed German drive southeastward directed at the 1raq oil fields, SueZ and the expulsion of British inter- ests from the eastern Mediterran- can.
 The News Chronicle foresaw Rus sia putting pressure on Turkey to remain neutral, saying If (German Foreign Minister Joachim) Won Rib- bentrop can now buy or extort the Kremlin's benediction on German drive to the southeast he will indeed have won a resounding diplomatic triumph. On his side will be Rus sia's unshakeable determination not to be involved in war with Germany at this stage of the Anglo German struggle. An attractive bribe might clinch the deal. If Molotov's visit proves to have less significance than we suppose, we shall be pleasantly surprised"
 The Times said Hitler was making "another bold attempt to counter act the growing stagnation of Ger man foreign policy" It predicted that both sides will go to great length to avoid war with each other"
 Turkey Figures Tn It
 The fact that Franz Won Papen German ambassador to Turkey, was visiting in Berlin, lent credence tc the theory that Turkey figured in the discussions. The supposition was that Hitler is trying to get Rus sia's help in bridling the Turks, te prevent their aiding the Greeks oi possibly moving into Syria in con- junction with the British.
 Soviet circles here believed Molo- toys trip might have been inspired by what they considered Britain's unfriendliness with Russia. Russians pointed out that Britain had offered to send an expeditionary force to help Finland during the Finnish Russian war; that Britain had re- fused to recognize Russian annexa- ton of the Baltic states and had blocked $16,000,0 ,000 worth of gold be- longing to those states in London which Russia claimed, and that Bri- tain had requisitioned g ships of the Baltic states despite Russia's claims to them.
 Germany on the other hand, has permitted Russia to participate in the new Danubian commission and had been active in promoting better relations between Russia and Japan

would stay two days.
 The official German news agency said he had reached German soil by train at Malkinia, East Prussia, last night. where he was met by Dr. Won Doernberg, chief of protocol and other officials, and proceeded by train to Berlin.
 Nazi spokesmen refused to com- ment on the possibility that Molo- toys trip concerned a new treaty. It was noted, however, that Franz Won Papen, German ambassador to Turkey was planning to remain here until the weekend.
 Political circles believed that the details of Molotov's conversations with Adolf Hitler would be an- nounced privately to Germany's allies and friends, but that the re- suits soon would be evident to the rest of the world.
 Late morning newspapers here published columns of speculation from abroad as to the purpose of the visit, but none from German sources. The Bz AM Mittag, for ex- ample, had the headline from Rome: Painful Humiliation for England; Italy speaks of foreign offices bankruptcy" And from Tokyo: Japanese press gives great est attention to Molotov visit"
 g Molot0v Advisers
 There were g Russian advisers with Molotov. His visit was des- cribed officially here and in Moscow as one to repay two visits made by Ribbentrop to Moscow last year - the first at the end of the third week of August, climaxed by the signing of the Russian German

Ubaldo Soddu, new Italian commanders chief for the Greek campaign, was withdrawing all his main forces from the Epirus fronts to reorganize them for new drive Isolated Italian columns, taking on the appearance of Host army were said to be fighting through the difficult terrain toward their bases.
 It was said that Italians were throwing away their equipment strewing the ravines with guns, ann munition, radios, field kitchens and personal belongings, and that 1tal- ian reconnaissance planes were fy- ing blindly amid the cloud-hidden Pindus mountain peaks, trying to direct the retreating ground forces through the maze of ravines.
 The Pindus rout was referred to here as the Greek Gaudalajara,' 8 reference to an Italian defeat in the Spanish civil war, and 1t was said that Greeks were spraying the fleeing Italians with fire from their own abandoned machine guns. Ital- ian supply planes were reported try ing to drop food to the Host army.
 Reports here indicated that Ital- ian prisoners now included the whole Venezia division, a regiment of the Julia division, two battalions of the Bersaglieri and one battalion of Black Arrows. Most of them were believed from a spearhead of 12,000 troops which Italy hurled at Metz ovo, northeast of Janina, and which at one time was within nine miles of its objective.
