Germans Start Mass Movement
 Toward Greece
(By Associated Press )

Columns Of German troops many miles long are reported rolling south through Rumania toward the Dan ube river frontier with Bulgaria as Great Britain sped aerial reinforce ments to Greece against the expect ed German invasion of that king dom.
 Bulgaria would provide the logi- cal gateway for a flanking attack on Greece, probably striking at the port of salonika. Military dispatches reaching Belgrade said the mass movement of German troops was ae- eompanied by the shifting of gener- al staff headquarters of the German Balkan army from Bucharest to CraioYa, 40 miles from the Danube.
 Attention focused on the arrival in Egypt of Britain's Foreign Secre- tary, Anthony Eden and Chief lm- perial Staff General. Sir John Dill.
 The North African battlefront has been almost completely inactive since the British capture of Bengasi February 6, which may mean troops used in that campaign already have been sent elsewhere.
 Cairo reports said Great Britain is capable of throwing a large mum Der of troops into the Balkan con- flict to aid Greece.

WRANGELL HIGH
 GIVES CHAMPS
 RUN FOR MONEY

Clicking in top form, WrangelPs Wolves forced Kayhi's south end division champions into overtime play in the opener of their basket ball series here Tuesday night, the game finally going to the champs by score of 27 to 25.
 Revealing the diligent coaching of their mentor, Harry Williams, the Wolves, all of whom had little or no playing experience before this season, rallied to probably their peak performance of the year as they played the champions almost basket for basket through the four torrid quarters. Just before the final gun, the Wolves had tied it at 25 all. In the three minutes overtime, two fouls netted the game for Ketchikan and clear right to play Juneau for the Southeast Alaska title in the Capital City.
 Second of the series the following night was one of those things. Coach Henning of Kayhi, with the south end title in the bag. wisely saving his best players for the Juneau play off and Coach Williams and his players harassed with sickness and injury. Kayhi already has lost How ard Mathison, top flight man, who was in the hospital here with an ankle injury and flu. Wrangell's Barney Iverson was home with the measles, half the other regulars were handicapped with injuries Final score in the listless game was Kayhi 32, Wrangell, IT.
 With the Wolves mostly incapi- tated, Wrangell Institutes quint went the route with Kayhi last night, coming out on the long end of the score, 34 to 28. With Johnny Ross dropping them in from all angles to score a total of IS points, the Institute took an early lead and was never headed. Newell, who had scored 14 points the previous night, was again high point man for Ketchikan with nine.
 Coach Henning has a sweet ball club, strings of crack high school players. Juneau's Crimson Bears will have to be hot to stop these lads from the First City. The south end will be pulling for them to bring that title home to the south end where Petersburg's Vikings have held 1t with grace during the pre- esdsuG slhsa@ YeaszE,

Annual Chamber Meeting Tonight
 In Civic Center

Annual meeting of the Wrangell l Chamber of Commerce is being held at o'clock tonight in the Civic l Center and all members are expect ed to be on hand as new officers for the year will be chosen. actiV- ities Of the past year reviewed and plans outlined for the 1941 pro- gram.
 Not trying to compete with the excellent lunches ably served by the Civic Club ladies for the Chamber members during the year, the Ex- eeutive Board. headed by President Leo Mccormack. is arranging for a '.feed" during the evening.
 Several guests were present at the Chambers regular luncheon meet ing Monday noon, including ". K. Stevens and James A. Boyle. Union Oil officials; ". c. 0Yerby, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue and ". c. Stump. ex-Wrangell, now practieing law in Ketehikan. Latter had been up to Juneau and gave the Chamber some highlights on legisla- tive activity (see Periscope)
 New Federal building, not com pleted but anticipated finished a bout June 15, already is overerowd- ed and two offices, Alaska Game Commission and Fisheries, are un- able to get office space, James Nol- an reported. Fisheries maintains an office here during the summer and had expected to establish a year around office here if adequate quar- ters were available in the new building, it is understood. Game Commission, now headquarters for the district at Petersburg, also had expected to establish an office here. Chamber moved, through it's Indus tries Committee, Chairman Fred Hanford, to see if space could not be found for these offices. Import ance of having both game and fish permanent office here, in heart of game and fish area, was stressed.
 Action also was taken to save the two old Kadashan totems, in which the Chamber invested some $500, and which were cut down for use by the Forest Service as models for new poles now being made. Walter c. Waters, totem expert, said the old totems were of real historic val ue and, while possibly not in proper shape for erection on the island, might well be erected along the highway or out on the point. For est Service officials will be contact ed to see if the old poles cannot be salvaged
 H. B. Thornquist of the School Board brought up the possibility of getting more adequate gymnasium facilities here, possibly in conjunc- ton with National Guard quarters. Need for better facilities was stres- sed by various members and sub ject will be made special order of business at tonight's meeting.
 City Clerk L. B. Chisholm, just back from a trip Outside in which he represented the City on light rate structure matters, reported the pre- sent rate means a reduction of a. bout 20 per cent, primarily effective in industrial plants and business houses, little change being made in the residential rate. Reduction, he said, is expected to encourage great CT use of power in lighting up the town and business buildings.

Harrington Here .TOCOnStruCt New For River

A new river boat and at least one new barge will be built by the Harrington Transportation Company immediately to care for increased traffic on the Stikine this summer, particularly to handle freight to the Watson Lake air base project in Canada for which the Harrington Co. has the contract. according to Capt. Hill Burlington. who arrived in Wrangell this morning on the Prin- cess Norah. Also on the Norah were Purser Oar Smith of the company and Mrs. Smith. who have been south for the winter.
 The new boat will be 65 feet long with 25-foot beam and will be powered with twin ITO horsepower Superior engines. according to Capt. Harrington. The barge will be 65 feet in length with a 29-fOot beam.
 Capt. Burlington came north early this year to make arrangements for the construction which will be done either here or in Ketchikan, he said. He was hopeful of having the work done in Wrangell Engineer Emer- son Reed, long time with the Bar rington company. is expected to be along the first of the week to start getting equipment in shape for the summer season.
 The Watson Lake contract calls for the moving of 1900 tons of ma faviol aC well os o pngSfbIa on0 od ditional tons of gasoline and oil, up the river as soon as the ice is out, the Captain reported. The freight will be taken up river from Wrangell to either Glenora or Tele- graph Creek, wherever the owners decide would best suit their con- venience. From that point it will be trucked to Dease Lake, a distance of 70 miles and at the head of the lake, transferred to barges and float ed down to the mouth on the LiaTd river and then trucked over the tundra to Watson Lake.
 The General Construction Com pany of Vancouver has the contract for the work at the new Canadian air field and will construct about IA barges and two or three boats to haul the freight from Dease Lake to Lower Post, where a 25-mile road will be constructed to Watson Lake
 Watson Lake has been a regular stop and radio station location on the Yukon Southern Air Transport Company's route to the Yukon. That company has been using planes on pontoons to land on the lake in summer and in the winter wheel operations have been used. Com pletion of the airport which is ex- pected this fall, will allow planes to land with wheels the year around. Smaller planes will use skis.
 Watson Lake will not only be in- portant from a commercial air ser vice standpoint but also from the role 1t will play as key point in the traffic of U. S. Army and Navy bomber and fighter planes between the United States and Alaska.
 Capt S. c. Harrington and the two Mrs Barringtons are making arrangements for their annual voy- age north and probably will be along earlier than usual this year, Hill reported.
