Case Of Jitters

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 30. CUP)-
Large scale Greek troop movements
in northwestern Greece were re-
ported here today, causing Bulgar-
ian authorities to order precaution-
ary measures taken on the Greek
Bulgar frontier. \

This engagement occurred near
the IonIan Sea in northwest Greece,
on the mainland off the northern

There was no early indication rs
to the objective of Italian troops
fighting their way across the from
tier into Greece. First reports were
that they were attempting to OBJ

before possibly turning eastward
in the general direction of Saloni-

Says Axis to Act
Against Turkey

BUCHAREST, Oct. 30. (UP) "A
Rome dispatch to pro-Axis newspa-
per Curentful asserted today that
Germany and Italy intended TO drive
against Turkey, seize the Suez can
al and occupy Iraq and Iran.
The dispatch was in the form of
an editorial by Pamfil Seicaru, dir
ector of the newspaper, who is in
Rome.
1t said that the next stage of
German Italian cooperation would
be drive against Turkey, last
British retrenchment in Europe"
Seizure of the Suez canal and
occupation of Iraq and Iran would
follow the drive against Turkey,
the dispatch said.
1t was predicted that the Arabs
would revolt in favor of the Ger
mans and Italians as soon as they
penetrated Asia.
Because of its strategic position
and its oil reserves, Rumania should
play an important part in develop
ments, the dispatch said.
1t was announced today that Vic
tor Cadere, Rumanian minister to
Jugoslavia, had been recalled effec-
tive Nov. rs. There was no explana-
tion, but Cadere had beer regarded
as friendly to former King Carol

First reports were that the troops

1t had been estimated that Ger

However, near eastern embassies

ISTANBUL, Oct 30. (UP)--A
high Bulgarian source reported to-
day that five German divisions,
numbering about $4,000 men, were
in Albania ready for an attack on
Greece.
The German troops are being
held, the informant asserted, for a
blitzkrieg drive across northern
Greece, presumably to Salonica,
as soon as the frontier defenses of
Greece have been shattered by Ital-
ian Alpine troops.
Best Informed sources said that
Turkey, key nation in southeast
ern Europe, could be expected to
maintain an attitude of non-bel-
ligerence in the Italian Greek war
unless some other Balkan power
became involved or Turkeys own
interests we're menaced.
The big question for Turkey, it
was said. was the attitude of Bull
garia. A Bulgarian attack on
Greece, according to reports, might
cause Turkey to support Greece
But latest reports here were that
Bulgaria intended to remain neu-
trail if only for the present.
A Turkish informant said that
Turkeys position was the same
now as 1t had been when Italy
entered the war against Great Bri-
tain.

Seven Italian transports filled
with troops were reported to have
arrived at Santi Quaranti and it
was said that the troops were

trict by motor truck.
Between 13 and Is additional
transports, observed off Santi Quar-
anti, were believed to be taking
Italian reinforcements to Albania,
it was reported.
Fragmentary reports on fighting
between Greeks and Italians said
that 20 italian troops were killed
and about 60 wounded when
Greeks threw back an italian force
which attacked the Greek FROM
tier village of Dipalica.
Jugoslavia awaited xiously
news of British aid to Greece, be-
lieving that the presence of Bri-
tish forces on Greek soil might lead
to a demand by Germany and Italy
for the right to send troops across
Jugoslavia.

Raj Bombs Berlin
In Raging Storm

LONDON, Oct. 30. UP)-The
Royal Air Force bombed Berlin
in raging snow storm early last
night, attacking big electrical
works in the center of the Ger
man capital, the air ministry said
today.
The attack on Berlin was part
of wide aerial offensive carried
out by British bombers despite
mist and ice that coated the wings
Of the big RAF planes. Fires were
started and big German and Dutch
oil bases and shipyards were
bombed, the ministry said Two
British aircraft were missing.
The attack on Berlin began in a
snow storm soon after p. m. last
night, the earliest raid yet made on
the German capital. The ministry
said that the storm made it diff
cult to observe results of the at
tack.

Brituin on Top,
War Expert Says

day that the PatraS, Corinth, and
Aegina CULTS have been mined, as
we'll as the waters south of Athens
and along the west coast, gives a
clue to British strategy. The three
CULTS form a continuous waterway,
which with the Corinth canal, near
Athens, sever the southern part of
the Green peninsula from the CEN
tral and northern.
This southern part, called Pelo-
pOneSSuS, comprises about one
fourth the area of Greece. The
mining operations in the three
CULTS and along the western sea-
board are designed to prevent Ital-
ian troops moving by land or trans
port to this area.
If that operation has been strong
enough, the British are now able
to use PeloponneSuS as naval and
air base for thanking Italian rein
forcements of men and supplies des-
tined for North Africa. British
North African bases are 1000 miles
from italy but occupation of Pelo-
ponnesus reduces that distance to
300 miles, an easy flight for air
operations.
By mining the waters south OF
Athens, the British are closing the
southwestern entrance to t h
Aegean sea to the Italians, as well
as protecting the Greek capital
This is an initial operation for Brit
ish control Of the Aegean, whose
islands, once in British possession
would jeopardize from the air any
future Axis offensive against Tur-
key.
AS far as it is possible to judge
by the immediate course of Greek
and British acton, the purpose
seems to be to bottle up the Ital-
ians in northern Greece and great
ly increase the stranglehold of the
British navy in the eastern Mediter-
ranean. To what extent this plan
will succeed will depend on the
untried combat ability of the Ital-
| ians and on the character of Ger
man aid to the Italians as well as
On the general attitude OF the Bal
] kaDS and Turkey.
Results to the present have not
been favorable to the Italians ever
if Rome reports declaring that somt
penetration of Greek frontier de
fenses has been made are true
Against this possible gain must be
balanced the more important Brit
III operations in Peloponnesus ano
the Aegean sea.
The Greek invasion phase of the
battle of the British empire thus
cannot as yet be to the liking Of
the Axis. Indeed, there continued
to be unexplained elements in the
situation which suggest a lack OF
complete agreement between Mus
solini and Hitler The italian in
cursion into Greece may have be-
gun as an independent stroke by
MusSolini in an effort to recouI
some of the prestige lost by the
existing stalemate in northern Afri-

Nazi Pressure to
Stop War Rurnored

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 80. Up)
-Unconfirmed reports circulated
today that Germany was exerting
pressure on Greece, through Tur-
key and other neighbors, in an
effort to end Italo-Greek hostili-
ties.
1t was reported also without
confirmation that Germany had
exerted pressure on Rome for a
cessation of hostilities. In most
quarters here the reports were dis
counted, although it was believed
Italy had encountered unexpected
Greek resistance and that heavy
fighting in the Balkans at this
time was not in line with
axis plans. 1t was believed here
that Germany and italy had be-
lieved that Greece would bow to
an Italian ultimatum demanding
certain bases and facilities fol-

Mussolini May
Visit War Front

ROME, Oct. 30. CUP)-Premier
Benito Mussolini soon may go to
the Italo-Greek front, reliable
quarters said today, but he is ex-
pected to return late next week
to meet French Vice Premier Pierre
Laval in Rome.
1t YVES reported that Foreign
Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano al
ready had gone to Tirana, capital
of Albania, to represent the gov
ernment in connection with the
conflict with Greece.
Mussolini was expected to follow
Ciano to Tirana but it was not
believed this would be lengthy
stay because of plans for him to
confer with Laval on French re-
lations with the axis.
