Londoners Angry
After BIitz Raid

LONDON, March 20 CUP) -Lon-
doners, red-eyed, angry but un-
coWed, went to work today after the
latest German blitzkrieg airplane
raid.
Weary fire fighters returned to
their control stations. Air raid pre-
cautions men, nearly asleep, went
to their centers. Demolition squads
pulled down dangerous walls of
bomb blasted buildings. Areas were
roped off and placarded with
signs, Time Bomb and Dangerous
Ambulances were still changing
through the streets. Refugees who
stayed in subway shelters were re-
turning to their homes, carrying
big bundles of bedding. There were
many traffic snarls because of de-
bris-blocked streets.
AS was the case last September,
the common Jondoner made it a
point to get to work on time, over
coming transportation difficulties
cheerfully though many showed
that they had spent sleepless nights
in public or garden shelters or the
safest places in their homes, usual
ly the cubby hole under the stairs.
Many people went to work only
to find that the buildings in which
they were employed had been DAM
aged and that they had no jobs.
With long months of experience
behind them, the capitals civil de-
fense forces. auxiliary firemen, air
raid precautions men, war reserve
workers. police and ambulance
units, time bomb disposal squads,
demolition gangs and communal
feeding center corps went into ac-
tion quickly.
They largely prevented the heart
rending scenes of last fall when
the Germans made London their
main objective.
Nevertheless here and there one
saw tragic incidents, especially in
working class districts, reminiscent
of the first days of the Nazi ct
tacks.

pact has been submitted TO Ber-
lin
Turkish and diplomatic quarters
expressed belief that the tangled
Balkan situation might be clarified
within the next few days and the
final lines drawn for the struggle
in southeastern Europe.
The belief was based on reports
that Jugoslavia had decided on the
maximum concessions it would make
to Germany and that Turkey would
make its position clear within the
next few days.
In neutral diplomatic quarters,
belief was hardening that Turkey
would no longer remain entirely
aloof from the diplomatic and mill
tary moves in the Balkans and that
Premier Refik Saydam or Foreign
Minister Sukru Saracoglu would
make a speech in the next few
days indicating the course Turkey
could be expected to take.
1t was indicated here that Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
in his talk with Saracoglu at Nico-
sia, on the Island of cyprus, had
found out exactly the extent to
which Britain could depend on Tur-
kish aid.
1t was indicated also that Ger
many now knew that it had OBJ
tanned all it could from Jugoslayia
without 5isking Jugoslav armed
resistance and would make ready
now for an attack on Greece.
Political observers believed Rus
sia, motivated primarily by a de-
sire to keep out of the war but at
the same time anxious lest Ger
many reach the Dardanelles, would
maintain an attitude of benevolent
neutrality toward Turkey even If
Turkey received direct aid from
Britain.
The feeling here that military ac-
ton was near was strengthened by
reports that the Turkish and Greek
governors of the Thrace area had
held a meeting.

JugosIavs Reveal
Proposed Terms Of
Pact With Nazis

BELGRADE, March 20. (UP)-
Premier Dragisha Cvetkovitch ana
Foreign Minister Alexander Cincar-
Markoyitch today awaited a sum-
mons to Berlin to sign an agree
ment with Germany, informanls
said.
Though the Jugoslav terms would
give Germany permission to send
materials in sealed trains through
Jugoslavia and to transport wound
ed men through Jugoslavia from a
Balkan front, they do not provide
for rehabilitation OF the JugoslaV
army it was said.
On the contrary, under an aree-
ment on the Juoslav terms, Jugo-
slavia would continue its defense
preparations which are now about
65 per cent effective and would be
completed during April.
This fact, according to political
quarters, may be the occasion for
a last minute hitch, because of the
German propensity for 18th hour
surprises and increased demands.
(The Belgrade dispatch seemed
to indicate that though Jugoslavia
had given its terms after negotia-
tions with the Germtn minister,
the final approvai or the German
government was necessary and that
this approval was by no means cer-
tain. 1t seemed possible that Jugo-
slavia had made maximum offer
instead of Incorporating the terms
of an actual agreement in it's note.)

carrier, Lowther is 5 feet 7 inches
