ish have been building up their

is believed that the speed of Gen.
Sir Archibald Wavell's advance a.
cross Libya will free large forces
including Raj units for early op-
erations on the Balkan front.
The crucial point in the Balkans,
i. appeared is likely TO be Salonika
A German thrust at that point has
long been rumored in event the
Nazis decide 10 come to the aid
of the hard pressed Italians in
Albania.
Any German move toward Sal
onika, either across Bulgaria or
across Jugoslavia would raise i'm
mediately the question of Turkish
participation in the war as an ally
of Great Britain. A German-held
Salonika would be threat TO Tur-
kish control of the Dardanelles.

LEWES, Del, Feb. 10. CUP)-The
5800-ton British freighter Ramon
De Larrinaga capsized at the Della
ware breakwater today after being
run aground because its cargo OF
pig iron shifted and caused a heavy
list.

guardsmen picked them up and
only one man was missing.
The ship, listing more tia 80 de-
grees to port, was beached here last
night by two tug boats
She sailed from Philadelphia
late Friday and ran into an Allan
tic gale rs miles offshore which
caused the cargo to shift. The YES
sci leaned SO heavily that her main
deck was awash and lifeboats trail
ed in the water.
An SOS brought the coast guard
cutter Mohawk and two patrol
boats and the vessel was towed to
the Delaware breakWater. The
ships master decided that it would
be impossible to make the long re-
turn trip up the Delaware river
and the vessel was grounded.

the bill, if enacted, would probably
lead us into war" and result in the
setting up here of either a Fascist
or Communist government"
A second opposition witness, Mrs
Rosa M. Farber of Detroit, denounc-
ed the measure as a dictator war
bill.' Mrs. Farber, who is acting
national chairman of the Mothers
of the United States of America,
also accused the administration OF
sponsoring a plan to register and
regiment the female population.
Chancery Court Judge John A.
Matthews of South Orange, N. j.,
charged that the administration
was seeking congressional sanction
for "actS of undeclared war"
Another opposition witness, Pres
ident Joseph Curran of the CLOS
National Maritime Union, denounc-
ed the bill as downright Fascist"
He said the bill would give Presi-
dent Roosevelt power to regulate
labor, destroy trade unions and
take away from the people many of
the civil rights they now possess. 4"
Curran charged that the measure
would destroy whatever semblance
of neutrality we still have left and
put us definitely in the present
European war"
The house passed the bill with
only minor amendments late Sat
urday by 260 to los vote. Senate
leaders said there would be not
more than 30 senate votes against
the bill; the opposition declined
70 estimate its strength.
Wlllkie, just back from an inspec-
ton tour of wartime England and
talk with it's leaders, including
King George vi, said in New York
that IF we give aid to Britain,
we are likely to stay out of war,
while if we do not give aid to Brit
ain, We shall probably become in
Volved in war" He will support
the bill, but his proposals for mod
itication may point the way for the
administration to win further Re-
publican votes. Willkie may talk
with Republican leaders today about
their amendment suggestions.
Willkie returned to the United
States the same day that British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
was appealing to America by radio
for material aid and promising that
the gallant armies of the United
states were not needed-"not this
year, not next year, nor any other
