MINISTERS WILL
 APPEAL TO COURT
Pension Party Candidate
 in Massachusetts Has / Been Ruled Off

Boston, Aug. 17.-(UP)-William H. McMasters of Belmont, national pensions party candidate for gov ernor, today planned an appeal to the Massachusetts supreme court from the state ballot law commis- sion's decision ruling his name of the November ballot.
 McMasters charged that to ob- tain the ruling the Republican par ty had spent $50,000 = twice the amount of the bribe they offered me to get of the ballot two years ago." He said he would support the Democratic gubernatorial nomi- nee if his appeal failed.
 He was ruled of the ballot for failure to have the required 52,70O legal signatures on his nomination papers. During the four r-day hear ing which resulted in the decision, handwriting experts hired by the Republican state committee testi- fled that more than 10000 of the 92.000 signatures on his papers were forgeries.
 McNasters, who contended that he had made every attempt to expose those responsible for the forged sig natures, charged that a Republican group had perpetrated the fraud.

Greece Becomes More Enbroiled With Italy
Bombing Attack on DestrOyers By Two Italian Planes Is Latest Trouble Italy Denies Any
 Such Attack
-NEA Photo

Athens, Aug. IT = UP0 = The Greek government, embroiled in ever-increasing difficulties with Italy, announced today that addi- tional reserve officers and men in the category of specialists would be called up August 20 for participation in large scale maneuverS.
 The call, it was said, will not con- stitute mobilization of any new classes but will affect specialists in certain branches of the armed forces. The term specialists usually applies to mechanical troops, pilots, artillerymen, machine gunners, range finders and technicians of various categories.
 The maneuvers, to be carried out on grand scale, were scheduled for September before the occurrence of recent incidents creating tension be- tween Italy and Greece.
 Destroyers Bombed
 The most recent incident was a bombing attack on two Greek des- troyers by airplaneS identified as Italian. The attack took place as the destroyers were en route to the IS- land of Tinos to investigate the tor- pedoing, by an unidentified Submar- inc, of the Greek Cruiser Helle.
 Meanwhile, an Investigating com- mittee flew to Tinos from Athens to determine, if possible, the origin of two torpedoes which missed the Helle and washed ashore.
 The Helle was sunk as its crew was disembarking to attend Holy Day ceremony ashore. More than 10000 religious pilgrims were on the island for the celebration and four of them were killed when torpedoes aimed at the Helle crashed into a seawall on which crowd of men, women and children was standing. Twenty pilgrims were injured.
 Several units of the Greek navy left for Tinos yesterday to convey the frightened pilgrims to the main land.
 Scott Watson, an Englishman, ar rived here last night and gave the first eye witness account of the tor- pedoing.
 He arrived on the S. s. Ardena with a throng of worshippers and witnessed the aerial attack on the conveying destroyers.
