HITLER VIEWS VAST FASBIST NAVAL DISPLAY

Dictators Further Ad- vance Conversations O n B r i d g e 0 f Battleship.

NAPLES, May 5-(AP)—.Rcichs- iuelu-er Hitler and Premier Musso- lini exchanged views today on the bridge of an Italian battleship that may indicate the future course of their Nazi-Fascist partnership.

They talked aboard the Conte dl Cavour while Italy's massed naval power showed the Fuehrer that Rome whose ancient galley ships once dominated e sees again has great strength in the Mediterranean.

Guns thundered, submarines rose and dove in the blue waters oi Naples Bay. war vessels of all sizes went, through daring movement-s torpedo boats darted in and out of smoke screen shrouds, a “phanmm" crawlers ship moved among the fleet guided by wireless from another vesse .

Intimate C “eship

But it was the display of inti- mate comradeship between the two dictators that unpressed observers. Belief spread Hitler had repeated his assurances he would iorego the German-speaking Italian Tyrol in his march toward inclusion of all Germans in a Greater Germany.

It was believed the Fuehrer spent some time explaining in de- tail why he felt forced to annex Austria so swiftly that he had no time to notify his Fascist colleague who had high stakes in the e5- ervatlon Qf___that country's, ride- pendence.

Whether Hitler talked and Mus- solini listened or Il Duce did most of the speaking, it was not difll- cult for them to strike up a warm, personal friendship.

German quarters denied Hitler had ciiered any nulltary alliance to Mussolini or that one was con- ternplated. Two such powerful men, it was explained, with their general stalls having working a- greements, need no formal alli- ance.

Key To Sttriltlon

Customarily well-informed quar- ters said much of Europe's near future depended on the degree of confidence the two men could es- tablish this Week. On this hangs the scope and speed oi Italo- French negotiations for agreement g; the Mediterranean paralleling

Diplomats say probably the first phase oi Item-French negotiations was held up by Hitler. Both French and Italian quarters orig- inally said they wanted the pre- liminaries completed before Hit- ler's arrival last Tuesday to start s week's visit as a state guest.
