Related TO Pact
By the Associated Press.


BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March 8.
Premier Dragisha Cvetkovich and
Foreign Minister Alexander Cincar-
Markovich conferred at length with
Regent Prince Paul today after the
Premier had returned suddenly by
airplane from his home province.
Authoritative quarters said the
talks concerned the possibility OF
Yugoslav membership in the axis
three-power pact.
Authoritative sources said the
signing probably would come soon
as a result of conferences between
Prince Paul and Viktor Won Heeren,
Nazi Minister to Belgrade, only a
few hours after Bulgaria joined the
partnership last Saturday. Previous
signers were Slovakia, Hungary and
Rumania.
Un Berlin 1t was denied that
Prince Paul of Yugoslavia had
been invited to Berlin TO talk
about signing the pact.
"a Berlin radio broadcast
heard last night In New York
said Premier Cvetkovich returned
to Belgrade yesterday from his
country estate and held an "ex-
tremely lengthy" conference with
Prince Paul)
Nazi Asks Pact Attitude.
Won Heeren was said to have In
formed the regent that he talked
last week with German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
about "Yugoslavia's position in the
Nazi plans for a new European
order"
Then, these sources said, after dis
cussing Yugoslavia's position in
the light of recent developments in
the Balkans" and "alluding" to
German military strength near the
Yugoslav borders, the German
Minister asked what Yugoslavias at
titude was toward joining the pact.
Although no definite answer was
given, authoritative sources said,
Won Heeren was assured such a
development was likely to be favor
ably considered" by the government
in the near future.
Military observers said Germany
probably would press for a speedy
decision 70 facilitate the movement
of German troops and equipment
through Yugoslavia as well as Bull
garia in the event of Nazi thrust
into Greece toward the Mediter-
ranean.

gsrias independence watched the
Fascist paraders silently.
Almost every country in South
eastern Europe reacted swiftly to
the rush of events which followed
Bulgaria's formal adherence to the
axis alliance Saturday and occupa-
ton of the kingdom by Nazi soldiers.
The kaleidoscope Balkan picture
included these developments:
/. An authoritative report from
zagreb that neutral Yugoslavia, a
nation created as an outgrowth of
the World War, would become the
fifth nation to join the Rome
Berlin Toxic alliance.
2. Unconfirmed reports from
Negotin, Yugoslavia, near both the
Rumanian and Bulgarian frontiers,
that British warplanes had bombed
the rich Rumanian oil field center
at Ploesti, long occupied by German
forces.
Reports of Bombings.
8. The arrival of British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden and Gen.
Sir John G. Dill, chief of the i'm
perial staff, in Athens from Turkey.
4. A report in Istanbul that Ger
many had asked Turkey to offer to
mediate the European war during
Mr.. Eden's visit there, but that Brit
ain had refused to consider medi-
alton when sounded out by Turkey.
Berlin scoffed at the report.
The arrival of German mechan-
lied forces at the Bulgarian towns
of Slatograd, Melnik, Trigrad and
Svilengrad, just short Of the Greek
frontier, was interpreted here as ap-
parently bringing embattled Greece
face to face with the alternative of
suing for peace with Italy or call
ing for further British aid-in the
form of land forces.
Significantly. much of the
jubilant German press reaction
to Bulgarias afflliation with the
axis concerned itself with Greece,

Nazi-enforced peace between
Greece and Italy.

The opinion was expressed widely
that Greece would soon have to

BERLIN, March 3.-German
troops entered Bulgaria as guests
of the country, a spokesman de-
clared today, and are in no sense an
occupying force controlling Bull
garian affairs.
The spokesman said there was
no comparison, for example, to the
situation in occupied Denmark be-
cause Bulgaria, which signed the
axis partnership pact last Satur-
day, is In alliance with Germany
and approved the presence of the
troops.
Consequently, it was added, the
British Minister in Sofia could re-
main undisturbed-if he did not
mind seeing German soldiers from
bis window.
dispatches from London said
the Minister to Sofia, George w.
Rendel, had been authorized to
break off relations with Bulgaria
and was expected to do so soon)
1t was reported here that one
diplomat in Bulgaria got excited
and ran to the border" but on re-
covering his nerve returned to his
post. German sources refused to
identify the diplomat.
There were no reports here Of any
British bombing of Bulgaria and
German sources said that Bulgaria
isn't in the war"
Bid to Prince Paul Denied.
No negotiations are under way
at present with Greece, it was said.
There also were emphatic denials
that Prince Paul, regent of Yugo-
slavia, had been invited by Berlin
to talk about joining the three
power pact.
(Germany's military penetra-
ton of Bulgaria has been inter-
preted widely as a show of force
to coerce Greece, despite her
victories, into a German-dictated
peace with Italy. Authoritative
reports in Zagreb, Yugoslavia,
said Prince Paul had been
sounded out on the Yugoslav at
titude toward membership in the
axis alliance)
Nazis said German diplomacy,
popped up by success, did not sleep,
and that Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop meant 1t when he
said other states would subscribe
to the tripartite pact. But they
would not hint at any special ac-
tivity or any special direction.
Authorized sources said they were
confidentially well informed" on
what British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden is doing in Athens and
on what he accomplished in Ankara.
The Germans asserted that Mr. Eden
suggested to the Turks that Britain
occupy Syria and commented, time
will tell what will become OF his
schemes"

Whether you buy low cost, me dium or high cost cuts of pork you'll not get your moneys worth unless you cook each one the best way.
 Do you know that the quality cuts of fresh pork are wrinkle free, with a thin, smooth skin? High-quality flesh is firm; poor quality, soft and dabby. Top grade hams have moderately small shank, and are short and thick. Look for soft red bones and f1ne-textured flesh in the best grades of spareribs and pork loin. Above all remember this = cook all pork thoroughly.
 Now for the best way to cook different cuts of pork:
 Low-cost cuts: hind feet-boiled pickled; sparerihs baked, boiled SparerihS (half- -sheetS) - baked boiled; neck bones = cooked like sparerihs; jowl butts = sliced, fried seasoning for vegetables; forefeet- boiled, pickled.
 Medium cuts: briSket Gore part of bacon) = seasoning for vegetables; cured picnic = baked or boiled, fried or praised; New York style shoulder cooked like ham; picnic butts cooked like ham; Boston butts = cooked like ham; lotn butts (end of pork loin) roast; cured hams (purchasec half or whole) - baked, boiled fried, broiled, or praised slices fresh hams-roast, praised steak. High-cost cuts: bacon (withou rind) - broiled, fried: cured ham center slices-b broiled, fried, praised fresh pork loins-roaSt, crown roast praised chops; cured pork loins . Canadian style bacon.
 Other Edible Parts: heart-Stewet praised; kidney - stew, meat pie liver-fried, praised, liver loaf, live paste; tongue (fresh, corned o pickledD boiled: brains-fresh, brais ed. scrambled; tail-boiled, ears an, snout-boiled; head = headcheese scrapple.
