Hitler Reported Seeking
Bid to Visit Moscow
By HELEN KIRKPATRICK,

BY HELEN klkkPAIRICh,
Foreisn Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, May 8.-Adolf Hitler is
angling for an invitation to Moscow,
1t was reported reliably today, but
so far Joseph Stain has been too
busy to see the German Ambassador,
Count Frederick Werner Won Schu-
lenberg, who returned to the Rus
sian capital in time for the May
Day celebrations with this request.
If Stain is interested to extend
an invitation Hitler will personally
present him with a German offer
which cuts right across the German
japanese alliance in an effort to
prevent the increasingly belligerent
attitude of the United States from
influencing Soviet policy. If not,
Count Won Schulenberg will present
the proposal.
AS reported on May 5, Berlin has
become exceedingly worried by the
extent to which Germanys nerves
war against Russia has succeeded
in arousing Russian fears and sus-
picionS.
Instead of frightening Russia into
complete quiescence, rumors and
reports of an imminent German at
tack on the Ukraine, German troop
movements toward Finnish nickel
mines and the strengthening of the
German frontier defenses on the
Russian border, appeared to have
led to a stiffening of the Soviet
attitude toward Germany. The
nerves war was called off at the end
of April.
According to this source, within
the next few days, Count Won
Schulenberg is expected to offer
Russia a most important place
in Germany's new world system.
Germany, it will be explained,
intends to control the entire Euro
pean and African continents, but if
Russia will extend the fullest COL
laboration to Germany, everything
east of the German-Russian border
will be recognized by Hitler as the
Russian sphere of influence. This
will include, India, China and pre-
sumably anything else the Rus
slams want, or are in a position to
control.
No mention is made of Japan's
sphere of influence or of Germany S
commitments to Japan under the
tripartite alliance.

Russia Denies
Massing Troops
On Reich Border
No Concentration of
Men Is Planned in
West, Soviet Says

BY the ASsoCia ted Press.
MOSCOW, May 8.-Soviet Russia
is not concentrating large forces OF
troops on her Western border with
Germany and does not intend to do
so. it was announced tonight through
Tass, the official news agency.
Tass said the movement OF a
single division from Irkutsk, near
the Manchoukuo frontier. to Novo-
sibirsk in Central Asia in order to
provide better housing for the troops
had given rise to whole series OF
reports concerning concentrations OF
Soviet land, air and naval forces in
the Southwest. None of these re-
ports, said Tass, is true.
One report denied was that Ad-
miral Nicolai Kuznetsov. commissar
of the navy, had gone to Teheran,
capital of Iran. to negotiate for
Soviet air bases in that vital OIL
bearing country adjoining 1raq.
Not Anticipated.
The TasS announcement said the
concentration of troops on the West
tI IL wac INV NohAAA6 PAA>S
and was not anticipated"
The latter phrase was regarded as
exceedingly important by observers
since Russia s official policy through
out the war has been one OF
neutrality.
The denial also declared a
report that troops from the Far
East and Central Asia were being
transferred to the west, with pas
senger traffic on the Trans-Siberian
Railway halted for this purpose, was
the fruit of the sick imagination OF
its author"
Denies Ship Movements.
Similarly denied were reports that
two reserve air armies OF 2.700
planes had been placed at the dis
posal of the Kiev military district,
and that fleets in the Caspian and
Black Seas were being reinforced at
the expense of the Baltic feet.
The specific report. which Tass
said was denied. was that % subma-
rines. As destroyers and l8 gunboats
were being transferred.
