they could not confirm the report
Though he was supposed TO be-

 Balkans In Turmoil
 The Balkans, as might be expect ed, were in @ turmoil today as long trains of German troops and ma terial moved up from Rumania, crossed pontoon bridges over the Danube and dashed through Bull garia.
 There was somu evidence that the Bulgar man-in- -the-street was not too pleased by being swept up as a tail to the NaN kite but there was

Bulgaria Turns
 Into .Nazi Camp
(Continued from Page D

I Greece would break of all diplo' matte relations with Bulgaria.
 Rumors that Greece had appealed to President Roosevelt for advice and that British airplanes hae bombed the rich, vulnerable oi fields cf Rumania spread through the Balkans as German troops marched through Bulgaria toward the Greek frontier.
 Turkey, restricting passage ol ships through It's DardanelleS, said that 1t had not closed them, how. ever, as had been reported.
 Newspapers published reports thai the Greek government had sent 6 note to President Roosevelt appeal. ing for advice In view of the Ger. man march into Bulgaria and the consequent threat to Greece ir event that 1t did not make peace with Italy.
 Both in Sofia, where Germany was asserted to have given Greece TWO weeks to make peace, and iil Athens itself there was no sign that Greece would bow. There were reports, in fact, that Greece had started new offensive. Bomb Rumanian Wells.
 There were persistent reports that British planes already had bombed the Rumanian oil fields in the Ploestt area.
 The report was somewhat dis counted here. and Bucharest denied 1t. A United Press Bucharest dis patch said that not only had the Rumanian ministry Of information denied the report but that Paul Lambright, general manager of the Standard OH Company, at Ploestt had denied by telephone that there had been any bombing.
 Another Bucharest dispatch dis. closed, incidentally, that pro-. ctior of crude oil, which had been 2,e0C carloads c day at the peak, had dropped to l,400 carloads, mainly due to transportation difnculties."
 Turkey admitted that 1t had re- stricted Dardanelles trafiic by re- quiring all ships to seek Turkisi, pilot through the strait.
 The Bulgarian -Jugoslav frontier was closed tight yesterday as the German march into Bulgaria at- tained full speed. Trains were halt ed at the border by Bulgarian guards and passengers were com pelled to turn back.
 Bulgaria Mobilixing.
 Bulgaria was reported to have mobilized 12 infantry and two cav- airy divisions-a total of 2l0,O00 men in addition to those already under arms. Seven of the infantry divisions were said to be on the Turkish frontier, three on the Jugo- slav frontier and two on the Greek frontier.
 Diplomatic quarters expressed bee lief that the Bulgarian equalization to Germany had given Jugoslav @ push toward the Axis camp. They foresaw the possibility that Greece would be forced to make peace with Germany and that Jugoslav would be left ringed with Ax!s-dominated countries.

 SABBATH LAW

 ployment, labor or business on the sabbath day (works of necessity and charity excepted;) whoever shall be guilty of fighting, fowling, horse racing, cock fighting or hunting game; any carrier, peddler or driver of any public stage. any retailer of good who shall expose same to sale"
 Attorney General James H. Mor- ford, who ordered the enforcement, led Wilmington police and made six arrests himself. Morford said he would demonstrate for three or four more Sundays to determine whether the law is practical. He began his test after Democrats in the lower house of the legislature prevented repeal of the blue law last week. Republicans have a majority in the house but not the two-thirds ma. jority necessary to repeal laws and the Democrats baked because the Republicans refused to confirm some late appointments of the Dem- ocratic administration voted out of ofiice last November. The repeal measure comes up for reconsidera- ton Tuesday.
 Enforcement Struck
 Enforcement was thorough yes- terday even though 1t accomplished little, the prisoners returning to their lawlessness as soon as they were freed on bond. No offender was arrested more than once. Per. sons buying newspapers were ar. rested along with the vendors. AS soon as radio station VIDAL went on the air, German Walsh, manager, and Harbey Harvey Smith, program director, were arrested. Taxicab drivers were arrested on the city streets, and bus drivers on the state highways.
 Gasoline station attendants re. fused to sell fuel for state highway department machines, hence, snow blows could not work and the owner of one chicken farm reported that his flock of 10000 was starving be- cause trucks couldn't get through the snow with feed.
 The same policemen who arrested restaurant wrokers returned to con- tribute to their delinquency at meal time. Morford pointed out that Rev. A. H. Kleffman of the West Presby. terian church one of the clergymen favoring enforcement was having his sermon broadcast by radio and was "an accomplice in the violation of the law" by a radio station em. ploye working in the church.
 One of the most popular places in the state was Fort DuPont, govern ment reservation near Delaware City, which has Sunday movies and sells beer to soldiers and visitors.

 Dr. McRae said that while Ricken- packer improved slightly after his relapse yesterday, "the case as a whole has not improved"
 The physician said that while tenn perature, pulse and blood pressure were "as good as could be expected" the flyers continued restlessness from shock made his condition "very critical"
 Rickentacker was reported by his nurses to be talking almost inces- sanity. but incohorently. Occasion ally they would catch a phrase in which the injured man referred to the affairs of the airline.
 Dr. F. s. Brannon, resident phy. sician at Piedmont hospital. spent the night attending Rickenbacker. At 6 a. m. he pronounced his con- dition "very critical.
 This is the fifth day since he was injured" Dr. Brannon said, "and usually the fifth day is the crucial one"

 British were entitled to bomb Ger man troops on Bulgarian soil as the Italians had done in attacking Bri- tish troops in Egypt. Tcday's high command com- munique said of the march:
 German troops since March 2 have been marching into Bulgaria with the agreement of the Bulgarian government for protection against known British intentions in south east Europe"
 Reports that Germany had hand ed Greece an ultimatum demand ing 1t make peace with Italy within two weeks were denied. Spokesmen said Greece had not been given "any- thing like an ultimatum." There was no indication whether any suggestion" had been made to | Greece.
 Adolf Hitler sent the following message to King Boris of Bulgari !:
 Your majesty: In this hour when Bulgaria has again expressed her friendship with Germany. Italy and Japan by joining the. three power pact I wish to express my deepest wishes for the welfare of your ma- Jesty and for happy future for Bulgaria"
 Joachim von Ribbentrop. foreign minister. sent a similar message to the Bulgarian foreign minister. Ivan Popoff.
 Germans read for the first time in their morning newspapers that German troops had marched into Bulgaria.
 All day yesterday officials refused to discuss the march. or even to admit that 1t had started.

Jugoslavia Is now an enclave In Q Nazi Balkan sec. Ger man troops ring her borders from north to south. The best Jueoslavia could hope, 1t appeared, would be the role of southeastern Sweden and even that depended on whether Germany would want southeastern Jugoslavia as Q corridor to attack Greece.

It was said that three other classes were dismissed from the colors. However, 1t was plain that the most Turkey might be will ing to do would be to give the Brit ish bases from which to operate.
 The Turks did take extraordinary precautions concerning the use ot the Dardanelles.
 There were reports that British forces might contemplate an attack on Syria in order to provide con- tinuouS near Eastern front from Palestine to Turkey.
 Russia Is Puzzle
 However, in all considerations in- volving Turkey, the wild card in the deck was Russia. Some Balkan sources seemed to think Russia had reached the point where she was willing to be more friendly with Britain. But this was only harnor.

 The question of severance Of British Bulgarian relations seemed today to be 8 mere forlnality and 1t was expected that severance would be followed shortly by e dec- laration Of war. There were re- ports that Greek diplomats also were leaving Bulgaria.
 However, in Athens nothing was published of Bulgarian adherence to the tri-partite pact or the arrival of German troops. Interest was concentrated upon Eden and upon reports from the front of new Greek attacks on Italian positions. The Greeks also claimed that Italian planes bombed the earthquake. stricken city os iArien near the northern frontier.
