Two Attacks by Government Doijran, Greek-Jugoslav from tier, March - (UP) - An at- ! tack by Greek government troops on rebels was reported today 15 | miles from Doijran. The rumble | of artillery and the drone of air. planes were audible.
 The report from Doijran, at the southwestern corner of Lake Doi- iran which spans the frontier, would indicate the battle was far west of the position in which gov- ernment troops were supposed to be attacking.
 A fight there would mean, ap- parently, that rebels were west of Struma river, which the govern ment had claimed as in the oc- cupation of General George Con- dylis, its commander in chief. All previous reports have told of | fighting - apparently little more l than skirmishes between advance | attachments exchange of Artillery fire and bombing by government | airplanes to the east of the Struma where the rebels were known to be.
 Also the area is near the two main railway lines from Greece one to Sofia, the other to Belgrade and the connecting line with the Orient express that crosses Europe.
 It is more than 20 miles of the Struma and less than 40 miles north of Salonica, the govern ment's northern base.
 The artillery bombardment died down at noon. Occasional afr planes could be -heard during the afternoon.
 Newspapers from Salonica re- ported the rebels had been disor- ganized by communists who joined their ranks to foment disorder. | Athens, March 8 - (UP) - Government airplanes bombed and destroyed a section of the Seres- Drama railway in the Macedonian n war zone today, seriously crippling the movements of the rebels.
