Italian Troop Units
Guard u. ). Embassy
In Demonstrations
Throngs Bring II Duee to
BuIcony; Posters Score
Seizure Of Ships

b. tie Associated Press.
ROME, April "a strong Gordon
of troops, reinforcing the pickets
of the past few days, guarded the
United States Embassy today, while
large crowds demonstrated enthusi-
asm for the war with Yugoslavia
under Premier Mussolini's balcony
Twice the throngs brought II Duce
TO his balcony, but the demonstra-
ton broke up without menacing the
embassy and the adjoining con-
sulate, which were surrounded by
double ranks of gray-clad, steel
helmeted soldiers and police cars.
The precautions presumably were
taken because of press denuncia-
tions of the United States for aid
ing Italy's enemies and for seques-
teripg Italian ships.
Posters ASsaiI L. S.
Troops also were stationed unoS-
tentatiously in courtyards near the
Soviet and Turkish Embassies. Since
these Embassies are two blocks apart,
it was not clear which one they were
protecting.
Fascist party posters appeared on
walls of the city, headed, "Gansters'
and saying:
Scratch an American and you will
fnd there a pirate gangster.
The acts of theft committed BY
the United States in appropriatine
Italian and German ships which
took refuge in her ports but were
protected by international law il
explained only by remembering the
outlaw origin of the present ruling
class in the Republic of the United
States of America.
AS an extreme, Puritan hypocrisy
over there arrested the crews which
used their sacrosanct right to put
out of commission their own ships
before pirates took them over.
1T is not for nothing that British
and United States people call them
selves cousins
Not only is their language iden-
tlcal, but their instincts are the
same and so are their actions.
History will punish the cousins
as only it knows how to punish"
The poster concluded with a quo
tation from Mussolini's speech oi
February %: An illusion and lie
are at the base of American inter-
ventionism"
Children Turned Away.
Several score of small school chill
dren, marching down Via Venetc
after the Piazza Venezia demonstra-
tion for Mussolini, were DETECTED by
several hundred soldiers blockine
access to the area of the American
Embassy.
A crowd estimated at $4,000, in
cluding many school children, con-
verged on the Piazza VeneZia under
the windows of II Duce's Office
They carried Italian and German
flags and placards reading 'Lonl
live the King, long live II Duce
long live the army"
Mussolini rewarded them with Q
smiling but silent salute.
Cheering crowds previously hac
gathered in front of Fascist head
quarters in Rome. Similar demon
strations were reported in other
italian cities.

George Sees Invasion
OF Balkans REDUCING
Threat 10 America
War on New Front Seen
Easing Raids on Britain
And Need Of Conveys
By the Associated Press.

Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
today establishment of a Balkan
front in the European war would
ease the Nazi counterblockade
against Great Britain and reduce to
some extent the chances that the
United States might become more
deeply involved in the conflict
While Senator George said it re-
manned to be seen whether Greece
and YugoslaVia could halt the Ger
man invasion long enough to estab-
Nazi concentration of air power there
seemed sure to be reflected in a
lessening of raids on shipping
around the British Isles.
Convoy Demand Retarded.
This in turn, he told reporters, ap-
peared likely to retard the demand
both in and out of Congress for the
conveying by American naval units
of war shipments to Britain. SEN
ator George has contended that the
institution Of such conveys would be
almost certain to involve this country
in naval warfare.
Furthermore, Seantor George said
he doubted that President Roosevelt
was giving any serious" considera-
ton to conveys at this time. ano
Senator Norris, independent. Of Ne.
braSka agreed.
Senator Norris said that while
there had been great deal of talk
about conveys there is no evidence
that the President is going to do it
so I don't see any reason to worry
about it." He said he was opposed
TO conveys if they could be avoided
Tobey Raised Question.
The convoy question was raised in
a resolution by Senator Tobey. Re
publican, of New Hampshire, which
would put Congress on record
against such a method of Atlantic
transport. This resolution wa,
scheduled for consideration by the
Foreign Relations Committee Wed.
neSday, but Senator George said ac-
ton would have to be delayed be-
cause so many members were absent
from the city.
He reiterated his expressed BELIEF
that Mr.. Roosevelt would not order
American vessels into European
combat zones without first consult
ing Congress.
II don't think that by any pos
sible stretch of the imagination the
Navy could be ordered to convoy
belligerent merchant ships into the
danger zones without the consent OF
Congress-" he declared. THAT
would be engaging in limited form
of naval warfare and I feel confident
that no effort will be made to do II
without first coming to Congress.

great problem. but it is a problem
1t was pointed out that such minor
details as a difference in screw
thread standards would have to be
adjusted. However one spokesman
indicated replacement of armor on
British ships being repaired in
American navy yards would not
present difficulties.
Although it was not disclosed
whether this Government had asked
permission to send Mr.. Forrestal tC
England, or whether the British haC
asked for American representation
it was indicated the admiralty is
handling all details and is working
out his itinerary. The trip also was
described as a common effort tt
get together"
No Comment on Aides.
In keeping with the departmental
policy on secrecy concerning ship
movements or assignment change,
for personnel, there was no comment
forthcoming on whether Mr.. For
restal would use a transatlantic
plane or travel by boat. In addition
the Navy refused to say whether any
aides would accompany the under
secretary.
The briefness of the tour wa.
laid to the fact that Mr.. Forrestal
believed materiel problems easily
could be solved during two weeks OF
conference.
Mr.. Forrestal is charged with
handling naval contracts and build
ing problems. He also handles legal
matters and in this connection ii
was said he would be equipped to
deal with the British on lease lend
problems.
The sudden trip of the Under
secretary does not set precedent
During the last war, President
Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, also went abroad. At
that time, Mr.. Roosevelt handled
American shore establishment work

there also were reconditioned tanks
and armored cars used in the Libyan
campaign.
British r. A. F. units in Greece
have been reinforced, especially with
new planes built in the United
States and never yet used in this
arena of the war.
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, from
whose forces much of the British
expeditionary army was drawn, was
said to have remained in Africa.
British planes raided the Struma
Valley area of Bulgaria Sunday
night, starting fire in the railway
station at Gorni Dzumaya and at
tacking railway and road junction
at Simityi, British communique
said TODAY.

Troops Are 80 Miles
Inside Yugos|avia,
Germans Declare
Bern Receives Advices
Thut BeIerode's Forces
Took Scutori, Zoro
~ the Associated Press.

- tie Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, April g.
Adolf Hitler's armored legions were
reported to have gained a foothold
on the shores of the Aegean Sea
today, driving an iron wedge between
Greece and Turkey after sweeping
30 miles southwark across Western
Thrace against apparently light re-
distance.
At the same time, the Germans
declared their mechanical forces,
operating from bases in Rumania,
Bulgaria and Hungary, had pene-
trated 80 miles into Yugoslavia in
some places in the wake Of a devas-
tating air attack.
There were no indications, how
ever, that the invading Nazis had
captured any major centers of re-
sistance on either the Greek or the
Yugoslav fronts, and all reports
even from Berlm-made it evident
that both embattled nations were
making a determined fight.
Advices received by the Yugoslav
Legation here said today that Yugo-
slav forces had captured Scutari,
Albania.
CReuters, British news agency,
quoted Yugoslav broadcast say
ing Yugoslav troops had captured
Scutari, in Northern Albania, in
thrust against the rear of Italian
forces engaged with the Greeks
on that 'front.'
Town Of lara Also Claimed.
Reports received by telephone
from the Yugoslav governments
new headquarters at Vranje in the
Serbian mountains also said the
italian town of Zara, on the Dali
matian coast, had fallen to the
Yugoslav Army. Advices said Yugo-
slav troops were smashing farther
south into Albania after capturing
scutari in an apparent attempt to
cooperate with the Greeks in
squeezing the Italians out of Al
bania.
A telephone conversation was held
'just before noon with Yugoslav
government officials, it was said.
Vranle is a small resort on the rail-
way line between Belgrade and
Skoplje.
The British said their troops-in-
eluding Australian veterans Of the
African campaign-were taking &C
tive part in the fighting in Greece,
and the Royal Air Force was said to
be trading blow for blow with the
Germans.
Britain, meanwhile, severed dip
lomstic relations with Hungary,
thereby paving the way for British
air attacks on German bases in
that country which already have
been attacked by Yugoslav bombers.
Strategic Greek Retreat.
The German thrust through
Western Thrace fro mthe Bulgarian
border to the Aegean apparently was
executed upon a strategic Greek
retreat from territory regarded as
indefensible.
A Greek communique said weak
screening forces" had withdrawn in
accordance with plan and to avoid
useless sacrifices"
1t appeared that the Greek-Brit-
ish strategy was based on the hope
of halting the Germans along the
line OF the Struma River, approx
mately so miles east of the vital
Aegean port Of Salonika and some
$50 miles west of the Turkish from
tier.
Such q move would shorten de-
fense lines on this front from about
iS0 to rs miles.

slider his record and decide whether
to recommend that new man be
appointed to succeed him because
of his consistently hostile position
toward the A. F. L. and his obvious
partiality to the C. I. O."
President william Green was
scheduled to report on the progress
of the defense program. and in this
connection the council stated:
THE records show that the no.
strike policy of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has been more
than SO per cent effective. ="

Radio Addresses End
Virginia Primary
Campaign Tonight
Light Vote Is Forecast
Tomorrow as Public
Shows Little Interest
BY toe Associated Press.

Sy toe Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Aug. 4.-The
campaign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor will close to-
night with all three candidates max
ing primary-eve appeals over the
radio.
Senator Hunsdon Cary of Henrico
whose attacks on the Democratic
organization headed by United
States Senator Byrd have enliveneo
the last few weeks of the contest
will speak at 8 o'clock on a hookur
of Virginia stations from WRVA
Richmond. Senator Vivian L. Page
and former Representative Darden
of Norfolk planned to 60 on the air
at Norfolk.
Mr.. Pages speech, also to be car
ried by the State hookup, will be at
$50 pm. Mr.. Cary will be on the
air Is minutes and Mr. Page a halt
hour. Mr.. Darden will speak over
station WTAR, Norfolk.
His talk will be delivered at 7:30
o'clock.
Light Vote Expected.
Despite the liveliness of the late
exchanges, however. political OBJ
servers stuck to their forecasts of a
voter turnout of perhaps less than
l75,000.
The polls will be open nearly IA
hours-from Sis am. to tbs pm,
in Eastern Virginia, with minute
or two variation for the Western
sections.
The Democrats also will decide
q two-way contest for Lieutenant
Governor and record their choices in
contests for 81 of the 100 seats in the
House of Delegates.
The prediction of light vote was
based on the apathy of the cam
paign as a whole and the absence
of local contests in many sections.
The vote four years ago, when Gov.
Price won the nomination, was
1924.
Both Mr.. Cary and Mr.. Page
of Norfolk, in their fight for the
gubernatorial nomination, have
charged repea tedly that the third
candidate, Mr.. Darden, was the
hand picked candidate of the Byrd
wing of the party.
Organization Candidates.
Mr.. Darden and William M. Tuck
of South Boston, candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, have been
identified with the Democratic Or
ganization. Moss A. Plunkett of
Roanoke, the other candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, has cam
paigned extensively with Mr. Cary,
and Tuck has appeared with Mr..
Darden a number of times at cam
paign rallies. Mr.. Page, who spent
much of the time during the last
days of the campaign in tour Of
the State in red, white and blue
sound truck, has worked inde-
pendently.
Democratic organization support
and the poll tax question formed
the chief issues in the campaign
ing. All three candidates for Gov
ernor have appeared in substantial
agreement on some OF tne maJor
planks, such as the school program,
penal reforms, consolidation of the
highway system and consideration
of State employees retirement sys-
tenn.
Differences on Poll Tax.
Mr.. Darden, who has maintained
that national defense should take
precedence over a State program,
said If he is elected he planned no
recommendations in regard to the
present requirement for prepay
ment of three years poll taxes as a
prerequisite to voting. Both Mr..
Cary and Mr.. Page have urged aboh-
ton of the tax as prerequisite, and
Mr.. Plunkett has advocated the same
change.
