 ate, said that Senator Blansflelds motion was out of order under the new rules of procedure adopted by the Senate this term and that Q simple objection from the Water bury legislator would be sufficient to set the bill down for argument, which was followed out. Senator Blansfield also opposed the unfavorable report of the Fin ance Committee, of which he is Senate chairman, on the proposed park bond bill, which ellcited per- iod of gentle "joshipg" from other members of the Democratic side of the Senate.
 Senator Joseph P. Cooney of Hart ford rose to ask Senator Blansfeild, "Is your influence so weak that you can't receive favorsh'e reports from your own committee?"
 Senator Blansfield responded that he was outvoted by the Republican members of the House Committee, which drew from Senator Cooney the observation that @ separate Senate Finance Committee report on the bill, which would have been favor- able, would have considerably en- hanced the chairman's prestige.

Leave JugOslavla

Belgrade, March 5--(UP)-British legation officials today advised mem- bers of the British colony in Jugo- slavia to evacuate with their families as soon as possible.
 Belgrade meanwhile heard many rumors, including one in diplomatic circles that in the course of his con- ference in Athens British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had pro- posed that Greece cede Thrace to Turkey.
 Under such a scheme. 1t was said, Bulgaria would have no frontier with Greece and any German attempt to reach Salonika would necesitate vio- lation of Turkish territory.

 Citing the speech in which Pre-. mier Filof Sunday said that the entry of German troops was "only temporary and for the purpose of maintaining Bulgaria's peace and tranquility" the note said:
 His majesty's government are unaware that such peace and tran. quility have ever been threatened or disturbed by anyone not (noO sigma tory to the three-power pact"
 Bulgaria's explanation of the pres- ence of German troops was termed spacious"
 The real purpose, 1t was charged, was ito menace and attack Great Britain's ally, Greece"
 "The Bulgarian government has facilitated the realization of this German airn," the note said, and has unnecessarily proceeded to mobilize
 His majesty's government are convinced that the Bulgarian gov- ernment, far from attempting to maintain peace, now are ready for active cooperation with Germany.
 "If any proof of Bulgaria's un- neutral attitude were necessary, one would only have to recall that yes- terday, March 1, the Bulgarian gov ernment on its own initiative broke off relations with the Belgian and Netherlands governments"
 The British note ended:
 Great Britain is at war with Ger many and the presence of German troops on Bulgarian soil with the obvious aim of attacking Greece and the obvious subservance of the Bull garian government is incompatible with the continuance of further re- lations between the governments oi Great Britain and Bulgaria"
