was in Kennewick the past week.
While he has on file about five hun

no reason why anyone who would
like the job should not put in ap-

Rulnania Signs Up
As Axis Partner
At German Demand

BERLIN, Nov. %. UP)-Ruman-
ian officials signed protocol bind
ing their country to the German
Italian-Japanese alliance today.
The protocol was signed by For
eign Minister Joachim Won Ribben-
trop for Germany; Gen. Ion Anton
escu. head of state. for Rumania;
Gino Butt for Italy and Ambassa-
dor Saburo Kurusu for Japan.
The signing followed by three
days the signature of Hungary TO
similar protocol, accepting The
place assigned to her in the new
European order" of the Axis pow
ers. Although the protocol signed
by Hungary made no mention of
military aid, Nazi informants said
later that it bound Hungary to take
up arms for the Axis powers if
any other nation "such as the Unit
ed States" joined the war on Great
Britain's side.
The protocols, however, appar-
emily did not make the Balkan
countries full-fledged partners in
the three-power alliance, signed at
Berlin Sept. 81 and binding Ger
many, Italy and Japan to cooperate
economically and militarily for 10
years.
The protocol with Rumania had
little strategical significance, since
German troops already occupy Ru-
mania and the Rumanian army has
been mostly demobilized.
1t was understood that Slovak
officials were coming here during
the weekend to sign a protocol,
and that Bulgarian officials would
come to sign carly next week. An
alliance with all four of the coun-
tries would open the whole south
east Europe corridor to Germany
as far as the Turkish border.

Hitler for three and a half hours

ception given by Ribbentrop last

7ItaIian Planes
In Dover Straits

LONDON, Nov. %. CUP)-Brit-
ish fighting planes shot down seven
italian and one German war planes
today after a heavy all night attack
bv Axis air fleets on the il dustrial
Midlands.
The Axis planes were brought
down in air battles over the straits
of Dover. wherer German long
range guns yesterday fired on Brit
ish targets from the coast of France.
On Berlin, it was said that the
German guns shelled targets south
east of London but British sources
reported only usual firing on the
Dover area.
No British planes were lost in
the fighting over the straits, al
though both italian and German
planes were said to have been
chased from the Folkestone area
back to the French coast.
British experts said that it was
the second time that an Italian
formation had been broken up and
turned back without loss to the
British. Two weeks ago the British
reported they had destroyed 13
Italian craft over the Thames es-
tuary when they attempted a
massed raid in daylight.

Well informed persons doubted
that Hitler had persuaded Molotov
to put pressure on Turkey or had
reached any agreement with Russia
relative to the Dardanelles, con-
troll of which would be necessary to
Germany in any purely land cam
paign against Suez from the east.
1t was said that while Germany
probably could break Turkish re-

Mason Says Reds
On the Spot Over
Balkan Control
BY J.. w. L. MASON
limited Press War EXPERT

Rumania's signature affixed Sat
urday in Berlin to the triple al
lance, added to Hungary's inclusion
within the German sphere gives
Hitler formal control over con-
tinuous sweep of territory from
the German border to the Black
sea. Russia cannot help but look
with suspicion and disfavor on this
expansion of German paramountcy
to the shore of her own southern
water boundary.
However Stain may possibly be
forced to disguise his feelings, for
the present, it is impossible to over
look this new menace to Slav in
fluence in the Balkans. Sooner or
later, it will be necessary for Russia
to make some counter move or else
abandon all Slavic ambitions in
Southeastern Europe.
A glance at the map of Europe will
show how Hitler now has unin-
terrupted strategic command of the
center of Europe extending from the
North sea to the Black seas north
western coast line. Hungary and
Rumania, as Germany'S military
vassals, have allowed Hitler to
threaten Russia with a southern
blockade.
Moscow's denial Of Berlin state
ment that Russia previously had
been inormed of the invitation TO
Hungary to join the triple alliance
is significant of Stalin's feelings.
More pointed is the reports from
Sofia that Bulgaria is reluctant
to follow Hungary and Rumania
without Russias approval Russian
pressure on the Bulgarian Slavs
thus may be beginning.
Nevertheless, it still is uncertain
how Russia will formulate an i'm
mediate policy. Above all else Mos
COW will desire to avoid an open
break with Germany while the
German army retains its strength
1t may Seem advisable to the
Kremlin to display outward friend
illness for Germany while waiting for
the war to continue until weakness
develops.

Pursue
nenny
BY BEN AMES

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. %. (UP)--
Greek troops routed almost seven
Italian divisions (105,000 mem in
capturing the Koritza sector and
seized enough guns, ammunition
and vehicles to equip two divisions,
reports from the front said today.
The fighting on this northern
front was moving toward the Jugo-
slav border. A large section of the
italian force routed from its Kor-
itza base had moved to Pogradec,
25 miles north of Lake Ochrida,
which forms section of the AL
bantam Jugoslav border, and the
Greeks were driving that direction
in pursuit.
(Ozen Popovich, United Press staff
correspondent at Belgrade, went
yesterday to Sveti Naum, border
town between Lakes Ochrida and
Prespa. and watched British planes
bomb Pogradec. He said that the
raiders returned four time to dump
bombs on Pogradec and nearby
towns and that no italian fighter
planes ever appeared He said he
saw Albanians sniping at Italian
troops retreating up the Koritza-
Progradec road)
While the Greek northern forces
were mopping up around Koritza,
the southern army was pushing
into Albania and threatening to
cut off the Italians from their
coastal supply base, Porto Edda. AS
they approached the Argyrokastron
plans, however, the Greeks were
advancing more cautiously, to pre-
vent falling into traps or meeting
massed formation of Italian mec-
anized units, which had been of
little value in the mountainous
county to the east.
The victory at Koritza. from
where the Italians had launched
their drive for Salonika, eastern
Greek port, was growing in scope
as new reports of captures came
from that area. 1t was reported
that the Italians had attempted
to destroy he immense stores of
gasoline and munitions assembled
there before retreating, but tn e
Greeks arrived in time to seize most
of them.
A communique said the booty at
Koritza had not been sorted yet
but that material captured to date
along the front included 80 light
and heavy guns, SIS anti-tank guns,
300 light and heavy machine guns,
20 tanks, $50 lorries and 1,500
and bicycles.

Turks Ready for War If

ISTANBUL, Turkey. Nov. 23-
(UP)-Turks were on the alert to-
day for signs that Bulgaria, en-
couraged or aided by the Axis
powers, intended to attack Greece
and throw the southwest corner
of Europe into war that would
involve Turkey Immediately.
All of European Turkey and a
corner of Asiatic Turkey, including
the Istanbul district as far as Izmet
were put under martial law last
night. The Asiatic zone involved
extends back from the Bosphorus,
the outlet of the Black sea and
presumably the first goal of any
German troops striking through
Bulgaria.
The commander OF the gendar-
merle, Ali Ria, was charged with
the enforcement of marital law.
