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.

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.
