FL Centre High Opposes
HoItviIIe Cridders Tonite
Spar+ans Engage
Viking Gridders
In Crucial 60

Ell Centres hlgn scoring
varsity football team tangles
with an improved Holtvilie
high school grid machine at
Holtville field tonight. The
kickoff is scheG led for o'clock.
For FL Centre it's the final league
game of the season and the Spar
tans must win to retain their math-
ematical chance to emerge as even
ual winners of the loop pennant.
The chances of the El Centrans
rests on the outcome of tonights
game in Holtville and the outcome
of the Brawley- CaleXico game in
Calexico one week from tonight.
A win for Ell Centro and a tie
or a loss for CaleXico would give
the Spartans another opportunity to
win the flag.
Holtville, winner over Brawley in
it's last start, is ready for this one
against the Spartans and is deter
mined to erase 1910 defeat pinned
on them by Ell Centro in the first
meeting.
The Vikings outplayed El Centro
during the first three quarters of
the first meeting between the
squads, then faltered in the final
period to hand the Spartans three
scores.
Coach Ben Palmgren considered
the starting of several second string
ers in Friday nights fracas to at
tempt to instill more spirit in the
Viking play Coach Holt of Ell Gen.
tro will ride with virtually the same
lineup he has started all season.
Friday nights game will be the
last chance for the Spartans to
show their all-valley candidates,
mainly Paul Fabares and Milton
Console, guards, Joe Longacre, tao
kle, Dick Gary, center, and Riedy
and Robertson in the backfield.
Holtville's only candidates who
have been considered seriously for
all-valley honors to date are Sunni
at end and Maynard at fullback.

and dropped bombs unsuccessfully in the mouth of the Weser (river) was shot down by member of the Schumacher squadron in an air bat tie northeast of Helgoland. This was the 10th victory for Schu- macher's flyers.
 Another British. plane was shot down by a German plane at the west entrance to the Skagerrak. One German plane failed to return from an attack on the enemy. On the west front, artillery and patrol &C., tivity continued. In the frontier dis trict east of the Moselle near Spich- ern and between the Palatinate Forest and the Rhine, enemy shock troops advances were repulsed with great losses for the enemy"
 May Have Landed
 The official news agency admitted the possibility that British troops may have landed at Narvik, as claimed in London, but it said such a landing would be "senseless from the military standpoint" It said there was no railway between Mar vik and Trondheim and that even if the British had landed, they were separated by 375 miles of rugged country from the German bases in central and south Norway.
 The agency said the reported Brit ish landing may from the stand point of English prestige and propa- ganda have certain success for those in London who consider some thing of that nature urgently neces- sary to calm their people"
 Adolf Hitler's newspaper Voelk- ischer Beobachter, said that Since the iron ore railroad from Narvik to Sweden was so permanently de- stroyed on the first day of Scan- dinavian operations that its restora- tion in the near future is impoS- sible, Narvik has lost its economic importance. Strategical1y, it was valueless from the beginning be- cause being far north of the Polar Circle, it is outside the German combat area"
 New Victories
 The official news agency claimed new German victories in south Nor way including the capture of 8 pow der factory at Hoenefoss, 25 miles northwest of Oslo and the defeat and surrender of three Norwegian battalions of 150 officers and 2,000 men to a battalion of Germans in the Kristiansand area after a brief but fierce" fight.
 It was claimed that Halden, on the main rail line from Oslo to Gothenberg, Sweden, had been talk en, giving the Germans full control of the area between the east shore of Oslofjord and the Swedish from tier, and that Norwegian troops had fled into Sweden to be interned.
 The news agency said that the announcement of the British admir- alty that the British had mined the Baltic from Kiel almost to Lith- uania was sheer bluff, designed to scare off shipping These are gigantic sea areas whose blocking by mines is certainly no trifiing mat ter"

 ToWnspeople at ports awoke te find streets jammed with troops some specially equipped in leather Jerkins and fur helmets. Troor ships were waiting. Some units were i ferried out to transports in little pleasure steamers. Warships hastily replenished their fuel stores ano steamed out to convoy the trans ports.
 French May Be There
 There were various intimations that French troops were with the eXpeditionary force. If not, it was strongly indicated, they soon would be-possibly the famous Chasseurs AlpineS, specially trained for moun- tain fighting.
 It was understood that the entire expeditionary force contained only men picked from among the most highly trained fighting units.
 Emphasis was placed on the suc- cess of British authorities in pre- serving complete secrecy as to the mobilization, authorization and ar- rival on the Norwegian coast of a considerable military force. There had been similar success, on 8 smaller scale, in the recent arrival at New York without advance mo- tice of the giant New British liner Queen Elizabeth.
 The Daily Herald published to- day an account of the dispatch of reinforcing fleet for the original force. Official sources declined to comment, however, except to say that more fact of publication was not a guarantee of accuracy despite the censorship.
 Ships Rushing Troops
 Ships of all kinds, crammed with men, munitions and stores, are steaming across the North Sea to strengthen Britain's new expedition ary force," the newspaper said.
 For hours Monday trains loaded with essential supplies rumbled into British ports. In one town crowds of holiday makers watched com- mandeered pleasure steamers chug their way to and from ships. For days past boats arriving at this and other ports had been pressed into

down to DaDeS In arms, come lEOIIl every walk of life. Merchants, pro- fessional men, laborers, peasants rich or poor - If they are German, they go.
 This migration, which is from the Baltic states, Galicia and Volhynia, is only part of the mass shifting of populations in Europe, involving perhaps several million Germans, Poles, Films, Jews and Russians.
 The other part of the German ex- odusis the repatriation of about 150OOO from the South Tyrol region, bordering Italy.
 The Northern shift is from Es- thonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Galicia and Volhynia. Galicia is the South ernmost part of diSmembered Pol and, lying Southeast of Volhynia. Both are now held by the Russians.
 Suffering Hardship
 The migration has been accom- panied by suffering and hardship. From Galicia and Volhynia the people came in primitive horsecarts through the blizZards of the worst winter in more than 100 years with temperatures around 20 degrees be- low zero. They were permitted by the Russians to take only their household possessions and animals.
 After quarantine periods in large reception camps, they are now being given farms in the Easternmost part of the new provinces of the Reich proper. That area bore the brunt of the fighting in the Polish campaign and barns and farm buildings have been largely destroy ed or greatly damaged.
 In many cases, families which were separated to permit mothers and children to come to Germany by train while the men drove in wagons, have not yet been reunited
 The migration is one of Adolf Hitler most grandiose projects, the inclusion of all major Germen groups within the Reich, What now is being carried out peacefully with the agreement of most of those concerned is continuation of the same policy which Hitler said mo- tivated the annexation of Austria, the Sudetenland and the Polish corridor by force of threat of force
 18O,OOO Already In Berlin
 Sixty thousand Germans from Esthonia and Latvia, and about 10000 from Volhynia and Galicis already have arrived. Thirty thou sand from Lithuania will follow this year.
 A difficulty in the Volhynian- Galician migration is the strong community feeling of the people who want to be resettled according to their old village groups and reli- gions. Efforts are being made by German authorities to do so.
 Problems among the Baltic Ger mans are different and perhaps more complex. Whereas the Vol hynians and Galicians are mostly small, rather primitive peasant farmers who can be compensated by simple grant of land of rough ly the same size they left pehind those from the Baltic are largely city dwellers, professional and busi- ness men and intellectuals fo1 whom a niche has to be specially carved.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-16

Some, for instance, manufactured cement in Esthonia, an industry which does not exist in their new home. Others arrived in Posen ex- pecting to take over factories or enterprises similar to those they left behind, only to find that Reich German firms which had come in- to the new territory on the heels of the army already had taken them under trusteeship.
 Rules Of The Game
 Baltic physicians were immediate ly given the right to practice. Civil servants, such as postal and railroad officials, were incorporat- ed into the new German officialdom as far as possible. Lawyers must first take courses in the new Ger man law before being admitted to practice.
 Officers and military men--in- cluding one admiral--Were given the choice of continuing their car eers in the German armed forces or being pensioned. Baltic farmers have been given rich land in Posen province and around Kuto. No farm may be larger than 2000 acres,
 Evaluation and liquidtion of the property and possessions they left behind is being pushed as rapidly as possible but may take years tc complete Until status is cleared many will have to content them. selves with any temporary work fol which they are suited. When tht liquidation is completed. the fund' probably will be administered fol some years by the Reich, with ; consequent gain in foreign ex- change.

said that t was of the heavy" or | 10,O00-tcn type and that it was sunk by Nazi aerial bombardment.
 A British heavy cruiser normally carries about $50 to 700 men and has eight eight-inch guns, eight i four-inch guns, four three-pound- CTS, 16 smaller guns and probably eight torpedo tubes.
 British Attack Fails
 The high command communique said British planes also had at- tackled Narvik without success" and that there was no attempt again yesterday to land British troops at points occupied by Germany"
 It said Germans had captured 36 cannons "in operations in which the pacification of southeast Norway made further progress"
 The official news agency said German troops had blown up the Norwegian radio station at Notod- den, southwest of Oslo, which had continued broadcastS unfriendly to Germany.
 Newspapers maintained that the far-northern port of Narvik was useless to the allies because the iron ore railroad from there to Sweden had been cut the first day of the German invasion of Scandinavia, and Trondheim, the nearest port held by Germans, was 375 miles away.
 Improves Position
 Afternoon newspapers called at- tention to Germanys improved po- sition for aerial attacks on Great Britain now that she has Norwegian bases, and said Germany was no longer bound by 'her promise not to use these bases against Britain. The Bz-Am-Mitag published map marked by arrows showing that Bergen was only 229 miles from the Shetland Islands; Stavanger only 300 miles from the Orkneys and the Danish coast only 400 miles from the Orkneys. The article was head lined, "In Englands Flank" and said:
 Tt is clear to everyone that (from the new bases) the air force is only one flying hour from Britain's most important military centers."
 The high command communique said that "a movement of strong British sea forces including trans port ships w; noted in waters be- fore Narvik and Harstad (30 miles northwest of Narvik.). The vicin- ity of Drontheim and Bergen was quiet all day. North of Kristiansand in the neighborhood of Evjemoend after brief attack by Germans, 150 officers and 2,000 men of the third Norwegian division laid down their arms. Germany further secured her positions in the harborS of Drontheim, Bergen and Stavanger and strengthened the coastal guard. Counter attacks against submarines continued with the result that the possibility for enemy submarines to operate in Norwegian waters has been greatly lifted.
 Air Force Continues
 ''The air force continued recon- naissance flying over the North Sea and the Norwegian coast as far north as Narvik, the communique said. One, British plane which at- tempted to fly in Helgoland Eight

| The Allies III NOrWegian opera tions were believed trying by con- Stant submarine and airplane ac- tivity to keep German reinforce ments from reaching Norway, by harassing German air bases in Nor way to keep German planes from attacking Allied transports and land forces, by securing air bases in Nor way to establish mastery of the air there, and by taking the Narvik- Luleaa, Sweden, railroad and other strategic routes to keep Germany from penetrating deeper into Nor way
 Erik Colban, Norwegian minister, had what was believed to be an important conference today with Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain. Chamberlain, who sees few foreign diplomats, received Colban immediately before he attended the daily meeting of the war cabinet. It was believed he and Colban dis cussed coordination of operations in Norway.
 Quick Mobilization
 Troops of the expeditionary force mobiliZed, moved to coastal points and embarked for Norway in the space of single night, it was in- dicated today.
 "A number of ships carry food supplies. Others are loaded with tanks, lorries and armored cars. Warships, newly refuelled and stor- ed, are escorting them to Norway.
 Some of these warships have just returned from engagements in the Skagerrak and Kattegat."
 It was hoped that Prime Minister Nevill Chamberlain or Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admir- alty and Senior Defense Minister, might be able to make statement on the expedition in the House of Commons today.
 But there were intimations that the full story would be withheld as long as possible in order to confuse German strategy.
 It had not even been announced up to this morning who command ed the expedition.
 Must Rush Troops
 Military experts emphasized first that the strongest possible Allied force must be transported to Norway in the shortest possible time and secondly that the expedition must get into movement on tn? German Blitzkreig scale of rapidity. A nucleus for the expedition was provided by picked force which had been maintained secretly since
