 "The Greeks should fear Italy's plans. Rome intends to take ter- ritory as far as Salonika, while Germany intends to take Jugoslavia and Rumania."
 Three British warships were seen in the vicinity of Othoni Island, 35 miles northwest of Corfu, 1t was reported. Rumors that strong French and British squadrons had arrived in Greek waters or in Corfu harbor were denied officially.
 Balkans Are Jittery
 Sofia, Bulgaria, April 10.-(UP) -Jittery Balkan diplomatic circles feared today that Italy might follow Its Albanian occupation with quick southern thrust through Macedonia to Salonika, the Grecian seaport.
 There was no official comment, but the possibility of new drive was the subject of speculation in Legations in Sofia and Belgrade and among politicians of Bulgaria and Jugoslavia.
 In Belgrade, it was rumored that Bulgaria-poorly equipped and de- pendent almost solely on Germany for arms and munitions-had agreed to lineup with the axis powers.
 A Nazi leader recently in Sofia allegedly spread the report that Germany planned to offer Bulgaria part of Macedonia in return for Bulgarian assistance or benevolent neutrality in event of axis action against JugoSlavia.
 Baseless Propaganda This, Bulgarians regarded as base less propaganda. Until the AL banian crisis. the government had worked steadily to consolidate it's friendship with Jugoslavia and Tur- key. Nevertheless, diplomat sta- toned at Belgrade told the United Press that Jugoslavian government circles were worried over Bulgaria's s position.
 Jugoslavia and Greece were concerned that Italy might advance territorial claims on them on the basis of Albanian xninorities. The

 High prelates asserted the homily meant the Pope intends to work strenuously for peace throughout his reign and that he inferred men should learn to settle their difficult ties around the conference table in- stead of on the battlefielde
 The main impression in church circlIs was that the Pope cherished the idea of an international confer ence which would cure the worlds ills, including an equitable distri- button" of wealth.
 A Vatican source revealed that the Pope had made alterations in his message as Easter Sunday dawned because of the Italiain con- quest of Albania. Many political quarters suggested he was refer ring to this invasion when he spoke of treaty violations.

 Like Woodrow Wilson
 Some of the more outspoken isola- tionist critics of Roosevelt policy charge 1t parallels Woodrow Wilson's moves in 1914-15-18 which led to wa, 2 years ago last week. The president wants a freer hand to maintain neu- trality. Some would go further than the president and lend quick and effective, If peaceful, economic as- sistance to the democratic powers on the theory that any war they fight against the European axis would be- in fact, this country's war, too.
 The Senate foreign relations com mittee is midway in hearings on neu- trality legislation. They must be hur- ried along because Key parts of the existing law expire next month. The House foreign affairs committee will begin hearings tomorrow.
 Hardly less vital are pressing ques- tions on domestic policy. Govern ment economy IS out the window and the question pending is whether the first session of this Congress shall establish a peacettme record for large appropriations.

It is made up of rep resentatives of the state, interior justice, commerce and agriculture departments and the ex-port-import bank.

Gives Aduiice On
How To Prepare
Christmas Mail

Approximately 5000 pieces Of
third-class mail, bearing one and
a half-cent postage, were con-
signed to the dead letter box here
during last December, either be-
cause they were improperly adj
dressed or because the parties to
which they were addressed had
moved.
The reason for this, Postmaster
George p. Fishburne said Satur-
day, was because one and a half
cent postage does not provide for
directory service or for a return
address, whereas two and three
cent first-class mail does.
Fishburne urged that pack
ages be properly addressed, in
large, legible print, with
return address. He stressed
the Importance Of wrapping
packages securely, so as to
minimize damage caused by
handling.
Books, he said, should be pro-
tected by heavy cardboard. and
other gifts should be protected in
that or other ways, wrapped tight
ly and tied with strong cord.
The rush Of Christmas mail, he
pointed out, will cause more wear
and tear to packages unless they
are wrapped securely.
