Informed sources indicated that
Mr.. Eden, who last week completed
vital talks with Turkish officials at
Ankara, had been given virtually a
free hand in the Balkans and Near

Commenting on the situation, the
Times declared that should Ger

port on the ground, as well as in
the air, would be indispensable and
that this support would be given
"to the fullest possible extent"
The next German move In the
Balkans may not be far off" the
newspaper asserted.
Official sources refrained from
comment on Soviet Russia'S ad-
vising the Sofia government that
she disagreed with Bulgaria's policy
in admitting German troops. Rus

to consolidation of peace, but to ex-
tension of the sphere of war. ."

Cannot Support Policy
Russia Tells Bulgaria

MOSCOW, March 4 (P).-Soviet
Russia, taking the position that the
presence of German troops in Bull
garia may lead to extension of the
sphere of war;" has advised King
Boris she cannot support his gov
eminent lin its present policy"
The Russian attitude was ex-
pressed in a note handed the Bull
garian Minister yesterday by the
Soviet Vice Commissar of Foreign
Affairs, Andrei Y. VishinSky.
Recalling that the Soviet Minis
ter to Sofia was advised officially
last Saturday that Bulgaria had
consented to the entrance of Nazi
troops to help in "the preservation
of peace in the Balkans" the note
declared:
THE Soviet government connot
share the opinion of the Bulgarian
government as to the correctness
of the latter's position in this matter,
since it is a poSition-irrespective OF
the desire of the Bulgarian govern
ment-which does not lead to con-
solidation of peace, but to extension
of the sphere of war and to Bulgaria
being involved in it.
In view of this, the Soviet gov
ernment, true to its policy of peace,
cannot render any support to the
Bulgarian government in the ap-
plication of its present policy .
The Russian note added that the
Soviet government felt compelled"
to express its attitude especially
in view of the fact that the Bull
garian press freely circulates ru-
mors fundamentally misrepresen-
ting the real position of the U. S.
S. R."
The message did not say specifi-
cally in what way the Soviet po-
sition had been miSrepresented.
Russia, in the past, has main
tanned close relations with Bull
garia, which she has regarded as
"a sister Slavic state" and the
foreign policies of the two nations
have been closely allied.
Only last fall, Arkady Soboleff,
secretary general of the Soviet
foreign Office, made a flying trip
to Sofia in connection with Rus
sian-Bulgarian relations.
Reports from Sofia indicated
Sobolef paid another visit there
last month when reports that
German troops were preparing
to move into Bulgaria gained

Attempts by Mrs. Avery to obtain
the services of her own surgeon,
DR.. Selders of G.. H. A., were unsuc-
cessful, she told the jury, as officials
of the hospital told her DR.. Selders

staff and could not be allowed to
treat her there. Mrs. Avery testified
she took her mother home to Foxhan
Village, where they lived at that
time, and she was treated there by
DR.. Clark P. Halstead of G. H. A.
DR.. Halstead, who appeared earlier
in the day, testified he had graduated
from Georgetown University Medi-
cal School and had interned at the
Georgetown Hospital But when he
applied for courtesy privileges at this
same hospital and at five others
after he joined the staff of G. H. A,
he said he never was admitted dur

spiracy, which ran up to December,

Prevented From Operating.
DR.. Selders figured in the testi-
mony regarding two G. H. A. pa
tients whose stories were related to
the jury yesterday afternoon. The
testimony disclosed DR.. Selders was
not permitted to operate on the two
patients after they reached two
different hospitals.
One of the patients, Miss Eliza
beth Tew, had been mentioned to
the jury several times previously
during the trial which started Feb
ruary 5. Administered morphine for
an appendicitis operation at Gar

nesses put on the stand. Miss Tew
left the hospital for her home about
midnight in "stupefied and nause-
ated" condition after the hospital
authorities assertedly had refused
to permit DR.. Selders to operate on
her. and after she had refused to
allow staff doctors from Garfield to
perform the operation.
The witnesses in the Tew case
were Miss Peggy O'Connor. friend;
James r. Adams of 5000 Fourteenth
street NV, both of whom had ac-
companied the patient to Garfield

Only Greece Learns
Lessons OF Others,
Brifons Feel
English Meet Obstacles
Where Speed Seems
Most Essential
By WILLIAM III. STONEMAN.

LONDON, March 4-The impress
sion Is growing in London that no
country friendly to Great Britain
but little Greece has yet learned the
lesson of Norway, Holland and Bel
GUM.
Every report which comes into
London, from Washington to An
kara, indicates that, though the
hearts of many people seem to be in
the right place, Germany still is be-
ing allowed to take the initiative
everywhere. Apparently the impor-
tance of the time element, which is
SO highly appreciated and exploited
by the Germans, has not yet been
given full consideration by Ger
many's enemies and potential en-
emies.
The British have done everything
in their power to speed up things
on their side of the fence, but they
have found it impossible to do very
much where speed has been most
essential from their viewpoint.
Hands Completely Tied.
In Washington the British have
their hands completely tied by the
fact that any attempt on their part
to speed UP the enactment of the
lease-lend bill might-upset the apple
cart completely.
In Sofia, despite the apparent de-
sire of King Boris to keep out of
war, they might as well have been
talking to a totem pole
In Ankara they found once more
that Turkeys heart was in the right
place, but it has been publicly dem
onstrated by Turkeys very failure to
move, long before now, that Turkey
has preferred waiting game. Now,
though Turkey may very well have
agreed to take certain steps in case of
German attack on Greece, there is a
very difinite question of whether or
not too much time has spilled over
the dam.
YugOSlavia Also Stalled.
Yugoslavia, at one time the poten-
tial ally of Great Britain and France,
also is stalled until she is completely
surrounded by Germany and Italy.
One month ago five Yugoslav divi-
sions might have knocked Italy out
of Albania. Today such a step looks
out of the question.
Even Greece has sinned in this re-
spect by hesitating to accept a Brit
ish land force for fear of provoking
the Germans" A British expedition
to Salonika was ticklish prospect at
any time, but with the Germans al
ready on the Greek frontier and
their air force ready for action
against shipping entering Salonika,
it now looks positively dangerous.

Marius Manon Dies;
Chef Baked One. of
World d'sLargestCakes
Fovorite of Huey Long;
Served With 9th Division
And Was Wounded

Marius Manon, IS, well-known
Washington chef vino baked one OF
the worlds largest cakes, died yes
terday in Mount Alto Hospital after
an illness of three years.
Until his retirement three years
ago, he had been head chef of the
kitchens of the Wardman Park and
Broadmoor Hotels for about Is years.
He gained particular fame for his

ing a cake which weighed 300
pounds. Cooked in sections, the
massive cake was prepared to cele-
brate the anniversary of the hotel.
Favorite of Huey Long.
While at the Broadmoor he be-
came the late Senator Huey Longs
favorite chef. The Louisiana Sena-
tor frequently came into Mr.. Man
on's kitchens, pulled his own food
out of the ice box and sometimes
even helped prepare it.
Believe me, he was a real cpl
cure" the late chef once said about
Senator Long. HE knew the Creole
cooking of his Louisiana from
gumbo to cafe-au-lait. And he
knew how to appreciate a good
meal. He was my best customer
and, what's more, my friend"
Born in Lyon, France, Mr.. Manon
went to work in a pastry shop in
that city at the age of IL. He came
here when 18 and during his long
career of cooking and supervising
cooking he had served various hotels
and restaurants in Cuba and New
York.
Wounded in France.
During the World War he served
with the 9th Division for 18 months
IN France and was wounded. He
was a member of the Costello Post
of the American Legion.
Although a naturaliZed American
citizen, he never lost his love for
the old country and crossed the
ocean some 18 times to visit his
friends.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Anna Manon; a son, John Joseph
Manon, and daughter, Marie
Louise Manon.
