An emergency coast guard survey of accessible terrain and harbors oS, the vast ice-capped Danish Island was completed some time ago and js being studied by army and navy officials.
 The movement of men and mater ials to construct bases and limited port facilities was expected almost immediately.
 Of1icials said funds for the initial work would be allocated from Pres. ident Roosevelt's "blank check" de. fense funds. .
 Greenland came under United States protective custody" by an agreement with the Danish sninis- ter here made public yesterday. At the same time, Mir. Roosevelt asked congress for authority to reQuisition all ifnmobilized foreign ships in American ports, including S9 Danish 28 Italian and two German vessels seized two weeks ago.
 The Greenland agreement was signed by Minister Henrik De Kaufman, who also has been rego. tiating for the sale of the Danish vessels to the United States. The German dominated Danish govern- ment at Copenhagen was expected to protest and De Kaufman was expected to ignore 1t as he had ig. nored its protest against the ships deal.
 Informed authorities said Amer ican-built landin gflelds in Green. land for the use of military planes en route to Britain was one of the objectives of the agreement. Amer ican bombers now fly from New- foundland to Britain in one hop. But fighting planes, having e much shorter flight range, must now be transported in cargo vessels.
 With landing fields, on Greenland, the fighters could take off from Newfoundland, refuel ct Greenland, hop to Iceland, which is held by the British, and then to the British Isles. The longest hop would be less than 1000 miles. Most fighting craft ca neasily fly that distance.
 Informed congressional circles wondered whether the Greenland move might not be c prelude to conveys from southern Greenland, ships and planes could police the northern Atlantic sea lanes.
 Iceland was recently included Ii, the German blockade around the British Isles. That zone extends right up to Greenland territorial waters.
 Bases probably will be established on the south and west coasts The United States now maintains Q con- sulate in Qodthaab on the western coast. e likely base site. Other points which the coast guard reported fav- orably, particularly for ship bases were Sukkertoppen and Faeringer- haven, which, like Godthaab, are usually ice-free the year round. The surveys were conducted by teh coast guard cutters Cuyaga and northland from June to December 1940.

 "At many places we were forced to detour around bridges that had been blown up or mined," Hill said. At Cavalla, which is still in Greek hands, the people were jittery but determined to hold out. All small boats had been communicated for the movement of essentials. Every where we encountered air raids. When we saw low-flying German planes we would leave the car and scatter for shelter behind boulders, or lie in ditches."

 "In view of the fact that Jugo- slavia is dissolving, the Hungarian army is protecting the Hungarian population in the territory whicl, the Jugoslavs captured in 1918 from Hungary" Horthy said in his proc. lamation. "TInis action is not direct- ed against the Serb people,
 Horthy said that since the start of the war his only pre-occupatio1 had been to protect the Hungarian nation from bloodshed.
 "Since the territory which Jugo- slavia captured from Hungary Gin the last war) went over without . fight as the result of the dissolution of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy, Hungary had hoped to receive 1t back by processes of justice without a fight and by peaceful agreements" Horthy said.
 Eternal Friendship
 "In this hope we signed Q treaty of eternal friendship with the Jugo- slav government which then had peaceful intentions. In the mean. time, however, those forces got the upper hand in Jugoslavia which once before pushed the world into bloodshed.
 nevertheless Hungary remained calm and took protective measures only when its territory was raid (. by air and It's frontiers violated.
 with the creation Of an inde. pendent Croatia the Jugoslav state ceased to exist. At the same time it became an argent duty for Us to take in hand the security and the fate of Hungarians living in the ter. ritories lost in 1918.
 Therefore ordered my soldiers today to take under their protection Hungarians living to the south and save them from anarchy. The action of my soldiers is not directed against the Serbian people, with whom we have no quarrel and with whom we want to live peacefully in future"
 (There are about 3,500,00 people in the area Hungary seized. The German Almanarh De 0otha, in c tabulation made in 1881, estimates Hungarian speaking people in Jugo- slavia total 468, ,1o5).
