The impending end of the battle of Greece and the breaking of Great Brain's last foothold tho Continent was implied in dispatches from London as we'll as from Berlin and Rome. But the British said that new line had been formed somewhere between Athens and the advancing German blitz armies and that the fight continued under aerial bombardment of roads, harbors and ships.
 Another DunkirE In View ,
 There was no definite indication whether the British forced back through Athens would attempt to fight on in the Peoponnesus but the flight of the Greek gover' ment Crete to carry the fight from that island strong hold indicated that another "Dunkirk" in progress in the eastern Mediterranean.

British Empire Army Is Fighting For Life

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, April 23 -- (UP) -- The British Empire Army of the Bal. kans, its back to the sea andv its left flank gone with the surrender of the Greek Army of the Epirus fought desperately for It's life today against the pick of the German Army. Only the alternative of dis aSter or escape remained for the Australian, New Zealand and Brit ish troops.
 The little British Expedionary Force which had gone from Africa to aid the heroic Greeks in hope less fight against the German war machine, could only fight & rear guard action alone along the long road back to Athens or the Gulf of Corinth and evacuate what men, guns and tanks 1t could before the Germans smashed 1t under the weight of their armored forces.
 It was Q difficult and desperate business. All the way back to Athens the country becomes more and more favorable to the full use of the German tanks which had forced way through Thermopylae without even being able to develop

London, April 23.-(UP)-Lieut. Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, comman- der of Australian forces in the mid- de east today was appointed second in command to Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, head of the middle eastern imperial army. in an obvious attempt to check Australian discontent over the conduct of the campaign in Greece. News of the appointment was broadcast to Australia by Rob- ert G. Menzies, Australian prime minister, who is visiting here. Australian leaders have been critical of the circumstances under which Australians were sent to Greece without adequate support.
 It was reported that the Austra- Han government had agreed to send troops to Greece only after assur- ances in Libya that the gains there were absolutely secure. When Ital-

 Athens, Greece, April 23-(UP)-- King George fled with his govern ment to the Island of Crete today, announcing that the Greek army holding the west end of the nations defense line in Epirus had capitu- lated while British Imperials still fought off the Germans in the east, around historic Thermopylae.
 The king said he would continue the struggle" from Crete, together with the crown prince. the govern- ment and "all our remaining forces"
 The fate of the British Expedition- ary Force was uncertain for the moment. The equalization in Epirus was taken to mean that Italian troops attacking that end of the line were pouring on south without op- position to the Gulf of Corinth, outhanking the British Imperials and jeopardizing their line of re- treat back toward Athens and Aeg- can ports for evacuation.

 Plymouth, England, April 23. - (UP) - Many thousands of home less Britons, some in night dresses or pajamas, bathrobes and glippers, wandered in stunned horror out ot the bomb- wrecked city of Plymouth today after & second consecutive night of Nazi bombardment.
 Hundreds of German bonlbers this port for hours, dumping l00,- 900 fire-bombs and about 800 high explosive bombs in an effort to de- stroy a point of entry for war sup- plies from the United States.
 The refugees streaming from the blasted and burned city had turned away from huge cloud of smoke that hung over Plymouth following blazes that created lurid wall Of flame during the night. Many refugees clutched a few belongings they had been able to salvage from the debris of their homes.

Air activity over England contins ued with another great raid on the historic port of Plymouth, where the city appeared to be reduced almost to wreckage as result of repeated bombardments. Many thousands of poorly clothed and homeless refu. gees were streaming out of Ply. mouth.
 Dispatches from Berlin and Rome forecast the immediate end of the battle of Greece. probably by capitu. lation Of the remaining Greek armies and looked forward to new blows against the British in the Mediter- ranean, probably both at Suez and Gibraltar.
 The allied defeat in Greece was attributed largely to lack of afr planes and heavy mechanized equip- ment to oppose the German armored divisions. but in London the British government declared that American. built airplanes were now going into service in large numbers.
 American Planes Increase
 The R. A. F. now possesses almost 1000 assembled American and Cana. dian airplanes. Lord Beaverbrools, the minister of aircraft production, told the House of Lords.

NEW YORK-It is humility, not racial but musically, which charac- terizes Dorothy Maynor, Serge Koussevitzky's great find" and to- day probably the finest living ne gro soprano. Miss Maynor has a little gesture of the right hand palm up, which symbolizes her at titude when applause thunders about her ears.
 "Its the music, not Dorothy May nor,r the gesture seems to say
 But because neither she, nor hei sponsors, anticipated the break that came to her a year ago last summer at the Berkshire Festival when Koussevitzky took her ul and made her celebrity in one afternoon, the year and a hal since has been mostly hard, bitter labor. She has time, next summer for her first vacation, and S h knows where she will go.
 She will go south, to collect real spirituals with two frienos and recording machine.
 Nobody sings spirituals quite as Miss Maynor does. She does them alone on the stage, pref" erably sitting Then she can sing them as she learned them when a girl in Hampton, Va, untram- meled by "arty" accompaniments and concert tricks.
 We want to record native ar rangements,' she says, which you can't put into musical nota- ton. Some Negro harmonies arc so strange there is no way to eX- press them on the staff-thf quarter tone, for example, ofter used by the Negro to embellisf his singing.
 "The average white listener feels the rhythm, the divided beat, whe, he hears a spiritual. But we Ne groes feel also the pulse of the music"
 Strangely enough, she points out that the melody of "undoctored' spirituals can almost always be played using only the five black keys of the piano.
 i. The search party this summer plans to stick close by the coast because in the swamp country and on the islands, there are still plenty of Negroes who know gthe i spirituals and sing them as they were meant to be sung.

TRAVELS 1000 MILES, PURPOSE.
 TO CASH CHECK
Comes All inc Way from "Paradise" of Pacific
 on Single Mission

PHILADELPHIA, March 28 = Mrs. Richard Stockton has come 1000 miles-all the way from 'paradise"-to cash a check.
 Last year she and her husband sold their thriving gift shop here and set out for Tahiti in search of paradise where every man could be a king on S75 month, includ- ing champagne at 60 cents a quart, with a war-torn world million rum punches away.
 Its paradise all right" she re- ported today, but it doesn't retail right now at $75 a month. Not since the war clamped down on us.
 We thought we were getting away from war and ended up prac- ticalIy in a ringside seat. After France fell we couldn't get any money from our bank over here, so I took our last $100 and came home to cash a check"
 The French possession in the South Seas is somewhat like the story books describe, she went on, except they don't bring it up to date.
 Cigarettes once sold for eight cents a pack but there aren't any now, she said. Champagne was 6u cents a quart while the supply lasted. And $50 would buy quart of Scotch, providing of course. there is some.
 The United States froze all ship ments of money to French terri tory last summer, allowing each American only $1O0 a month. That sum, she said, often doesn't get there on time because the island only sees a ship every three months or so. That limits foodstutf sup plies, too.
 My husband is making a pho- tographic study of the islands she said, and when he's tired of that he goes google fishing. You swim under water and spear fish for dinner. He's awfully good at it, but you know you can get to hate fish
