that passage is inevitable.

vote is impossible today.
The bill must go back to the
House after Senate passage be-
cause of amendments added to it.

FIGURES DIFFER
Although Assistant Corporation
Counsel James II. Lee has charged
the gas company with receiving an
annual return of II per cent on its
original investment. Montgomery
in a carefully itemized statement
admitted a return of 7S per cent.
Montgomery confirmed the citys
statement that the compan

approximately S50,000,000 in divi-
bends. of which all but S26. 837 900

During that time the estimated
value of the company has in
creased to between SS5 900 900 and

BELGRADE, March 8.--Pros-
poets of a sudden German invasion
of Greece multiplied today as the
Athens government baked at Nazi
proposals for Greco-Italian peace
agreement.
With thousands of German
mechanical troops poised on the
Bulgar-Greek frontier, ready to
move at an instant's notice, latest
Information reaching Belgra de
said the Greek government was
still holding out against German
mediation efforts.
According to these advices, the
German-G Greek deadlock resulted
from Greek rejection of Berlin
proposals for establishment of
German military bases in Greece.
Information received at Ge-
neva, Switzerland. said Germany
now calculates upon re-establish-
ing peace between Italy and
Greece even if Britain maintains
control of Crete and other Greek
islands. Geneva also heard re-
ports that Yugoslavia is TAX
ing extraordinary precautions
against "terrorists," especially
in Dalmatia.)
SALONIKA BLITZ SEEN
A vanguard of some 5000 or
more German troops. supported
by motorized infantry, artillery
and warplanes, took up battle
positions along the southern Bull
garian border.
All together. including the 75,-
900 already in battle positions, at
least 10000 Nazi troops are
massed in southern Bulgaria near
the Greek and Turkish frontiers.
Hundreds of Stuka dive-bombers
were poised at Bulgarian airports,
ready to attack the Greek armies
as they did the French before the
fall of Paris.
Unless Greek authorities yield
to the German proposals for peace
with Italy, it appeared, Chancel-
lor Hitler will give the signal
sending his Nazi legions crashing
across the border in blitz drive
