Northwest YugosIav
Town Is Occupied,
Italians Declare
Fascist Planes Reported
To Have Bombed Ships
In Sibenik Hurbor

BY ttt Associated Press.
ROME, April e.-The Italian high
command announced today that
Fascist troops had occupied Kranj,
in the extreme northwest tip of
Yugoslavia at the junction of the
Italian and German frontiers.
The town, situated on a railroad,
is about 10 miles east of the italian
border.
Italian bombing planes were re-
ported to have attacked warships
and seaplanes in the Yugoslav har-
bor OF Sibenik, about 200 miles south
of Kranj, and to nave damaged bar
racks and motor truck concentra-
tions ashore.
Yugoslav Air Bases Bombed.
Other planes were said to have
bombed Yugoslav air bases at Divulje
and Vodice and machine-gunned
motorized columns and horse-drawn
supply trains.
Large groups of Yugoslav prison.
ers were said to have been captured
elsewhere in local fighting, in addi-
tion to several hundred Greek
troops.
The Italian announcement of the
capture of Kranj conceded with
unofficial reports Of the launching
of a Fascist drive from Northern
Albania in an effort to contact Ger
man troops pounding across the
narrow waist of Yugoslavia.
Stefani, ofncIal Italian news
agency. said the Italians had
crushed desperate attempts" by the
Greeks to make contact with their
Yugoslav Allies along the Albanian
shore of Lake Ochrida, on the AL
bantam -Yugoslav border.
The Greeks suffered heavy losses
in yesterdays fighting, Stefani re-
ported, asserting their defeats were
bloody and prisoners filed In long
lines behind our lines"
The Italian offensive was "devel-
oping powerfully today" the agency
said, In anticipation of meeting
with victorious" German columns.
Troops Captured on Rats.
The dispatch said Italian patrols
captured units of Yugoslav troops
attempting to cross Lake Scutari on
RATS in an effort to land in North
ern Albania. Despite bad weather
the italian air force was reported to
be giving strong support to the army
in the new offensive.
In Rome it was expected the war
in Yugoslavia would shortly affect
Italian food supplies.
Persons visiting the city's markets
said housewives were buying larger
quantities of eggs than usual in an
ticipation of a shortage Both eggs
and meat have been largely i'm
ported from Yugoslavia.

status of the struggle at the termi-
nation of certain phases.
Meantime, the spokesman de-
clared "the British still won't come
out and fight" and paid tribute to
the Greeks.
Highways Detroyed.
German news reports indicated
that while the mountainous coun-
tryside posed special problem in
Yugoslavia, it presented difficulties
as great to the Serbs as to the
Germans.
Much Yugoslav equipment was
being captured, the reports said,
because the destruction of the few
difficult highways by the Luftwaffe
made swift retreat impossible.
Germans said the loss of equip
nent, especially of airplanes, was
a stunning initial blow to Yugosla-
via because the country lacks in
dustrial facilities for replacements.
Tools of war must be imported, and
such importations were held to be
unfeasible because of the difficulty
of penetrating the Italian naval
and German air patrol of the Medi-
terranean.
German commentators and the
press made much of reported Yugo-
slav bombings of Hungarian, Ru-
manian and Bulgarian territories.
There were angry reactions in
these countries, friends of the axis,
whose own forces have not taken
part in the invasion of Yugoslavia,
they said.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April g. Powerful
forces of British bombers raided the
German naval base at Kiel again
last night, also attacked Bremen
haven and Emden and bombed oil
tanks at Rotterdam, the Air Min
istry said today.
The raid on Germany's Submarine
nest at Kiel, aided by favorable
weather, was described as even
more impressive" than the assault
on the preceding night. The British
acknowledged, however, that the
nights forays had cost them five
planes.
While the R. A. F. was pounding
German targets, the Luftwaffe ham
mered anew at battered Coventry
and other objectives in England.
Two German planes were reported
shot down off the Welsh coast this
morning in an attempt to renew the
assaults by daylight.
Coventry Damage Considerable.
The Coventry raid lasted several
hours. The government said dam
age was considerable, and that it
was feared casualties might be
heavy.
Of last nights raid on Kiel, the
Air Ministry said the port was
heavily and successfully attacked"
CBerlin said strong Royal Air
Force units raided Northern
German coastal towns during the
night, killing a number of per-
sons, including women and chill
dren. -Four British raiders were
shot down, the Germans said)
r. A. F. night fighters claimed de-
struction of six German bombers,
and the Air Ministry news service
said others were damaged and
known to be in trouble as they
made for home"
Other Factory Towns Hit.
Aside from the concentrated as

Naz; bombers struck in force at
other factory towns in the industrial

lowed by anti-aircraft fire, but no
bombs, and the all-clear sounded
before midnight.

Greek forces who had been in
Thrace were falling back toward
Alexandroupolis, near the Turk
ish frontier.
winston Burdette, C. B. S.
correspondent at Ankara, said, in
a broadcast last night, that the
British were forming a second
line of defense across the Greek
Peninsula southwest of Salonika)
AS the Nazi legions redoubled
their assaults down the valley, the
forts blocking their way were re-
ported holding out sometimes to
death of the entire garrison.
The defense was costing the at
tackers thousands of lives, the
Greeks declared. They said in
tense fire from Rupel Ussite,
Palouryoni and Karatash forts had
covered the sides of the narrow
passes with the bodies of gray-green
clad Nazis.
British bombers operating from
Greece struck at the communica-
tion and supply line behind the
advancing column.
High Command Account
The high command gave this ac-
count of the sudden Nazi flanking
attack:
Soon after the Palm Sunday in
vasion of Yugoslavia and Greece
by Hitler's Balkan armies, the Yu-
goslavs withdrew in southeastern
Serbia, possibly in an effort to pro-
tect the important rail center OF
Skoplje, which the Germans report
ed taking yesterday.
This uncovered the Greek left
flank, which had been hinged at
the juncture of the Greek, Yugo-
slav and Bulgarian frontiers.
A German armored division which
cut through southeastern Serbia
plvoted sharply south past Lake
Doiran and reached the Greek from
tier Monday night.
At dawn yesterday, the division
drove into Greece through a corridor
east of Axioupolis, a town along the
Vardar u miles inside of Greece and
SO miles north of Salonika.
Despite delaying action fought
for hours by outnumbered Greek
mechanical forces, the enemy sue
ceeded in advancing dangerously in
the direction of Salonika," the high
command said.
On the Albanian front the Greek
high command said strong Italian
positions were taken and 500 SOL
diers and 10 officers captured.
Italian reports from the Albanian
front declared the Fascist forces had
launched strong drive north of
