Penetration Of Yugoslovia
Continues, Italy Says

ROME, April 10 (P.-The Italian
high command said today italian
troops continued their penetration
of Yugoslavia from the Northern
Yugoslav and Eastern Albanian
fronts in a drive to join hands
with German columns moving from
the east.
Earlier unofficial dispatches had
pictured the German and Italian
Armies in the Balkans as ION the
point Of joining" forces.
The Italians issued an official de-
NAL that the Yugoslavs had occu-
pied Scutari or Alessio, in Albania,
or any other italian territory what
ever.
The Yugoslavs previously claimed
the capture of Scutari and of the
Italian city of cara, on the Yugo-
slav coast.
The daily communique said Fas-
sist troops who took Kranj contin-
ued their advance down the Sava
Valley toward zagreb, in Northern
Yugoslavia, while those on the
Eastern Albanian front were push
Ing eastward to contact the Ger
mans from SkoplJe.
In the Scutari zone in Albania,
the communique said, Italians re-
pulsed Yugoslav attacks and took
numerous prisoners, while in the
Zara zone, along the Adriatic coast
of Yugoslavia, Italian planes bombed
Yugoslav troops and motorized col
umns and again bombed Sibenik.

Athens had two air raid alarms
during the night and another in

fell in the city proper.
The ominous drone was heard
shortly before dawn as the planes
hurtled over on their way apparently
to drop more magnetic mines in
Piraeus, port of Athens. Another
alert sounded at 9:55 am.
Athens was under an alert for
2 hours and 10 minutes during one of
the alarms last night and the Greek
Ministry of Home Security disclosed
that German planes had dropped
magnetic mines in Piraeus, doubly
important as an entry point for Brit

The Yugoslav Legation here re-
ported that Yugoslav troops push

Albania, had crossed the Drin River
and they appeared to be cooperating
with Greek forces further south in
an attempt to squeeze out the Ital-
ians before the Nazis can complete
their westward dash to join their

losses were inflicted on Italians in

TAMPICO, Mexico, April TO-
German sources here reported last
night that six officers from the
seized and appropriated German
liner Orinoco escaped to sea late
last night in a 30-foot yawl built
during their months of refugee in
this port.
German compatriots said Nazi
seamen had stored aboard a months
supplies and drinking water for the
daring escape and planned to sail
to Germany.
They were reported to have taken
the navigation instruments from the
Orinoco on their adventure.
Gunboat May Go in Pursuit.
Mexican naval authorities said
the gunboat Queretaro might be
sent in p1rsuit if the German re-
ports proved true.
The crews of the II axis vessels
appropriated for use in the Mexican
merchant marine have been at
liberty in the custody of their con-
suls at Tampico and Veracruz.
Responsible neutral sources re-
ported hearing that some German
officers had sailed away in a home
made craft, but expressed the be-
lief that landing would be at
tempted at some secluded point in
the United States or Guatemala,
from where they might be sped
homeward by some other means.
A naval officer supported this
supposition, but said it would be
possible for such a boat to sail to
Germany-"if not picked up by the
British blockade"
Put Ashore Last Week.
The Nazi sources reporting the
escape identified the men as petty
officers off the Orinoco and former
electrician on the German freighter
Phrygia. which was scuttled on a
frustrated escape attempt last
November. The latter had been
living recently aboard the Orinoco.
The 225 seamen and officers of the
Orinoco were put ashore last week
when it and IL other axis ships were
seized by the Mexican Navy.
All the ships were appropriated by
a presidential decree Tuesday night
about the time of the reported
escape and the red, white and green
ensign of the Mexican merchant
marine was raised over them with
