British Expect Nazis
To Try 10 Bypass
Turkey in Drive
Sermon Attempt to Use
Greek Islands Seen
BY London Observers
b TIE AsSociated Press

LONDON, April ga German
attempt to use Greek islands in the
Aegean Sea as stepping stones tc
bypass" Turkey in a drive aimed
at Syria and the Suez Canal was
suggested today by British observers
as a logical sequence to Nazi sue
cesses in Greece.
First steps toward such a leap
frog movement" already have been
taken by the Germans, 1t was point
ed out, with occupation of the is
lands of ThaSos, Samothrace and
Lemnos in the Northern Aegean.
Natural Bridge Offered
From Lemnos, the tabled isles of
Greece extend southwark at short
intervals for some 200 miles down
the coast of Turkey, offering a nat
ural bridge to the Italian owned Do
decanese Islands.
Rhodes, largest of the latter. Is
less than $50 miles from Alexandria,
Egypt. and about $50 miles from the
nearest point in Syria.
British observers expressed belief
q German thrust at Suez from this
direction would be accompanied by
an assault upon Gibraltar and an
intensified axis thrust at Egypt from
Libya.
May Bypass Turkey.
Commenting on the situation, the
NewsChronicle saw definite indica-
tlons of German attempt to estab-
lish link with the Dodecanese.
IF the Germans can establish air
bases down the west coast of Tur-
key the paper said, and if their
agents in Syria have done their
work, they may be able to bypass
Turkey
The Times said Adolf Hitler's pur-
pose appeared to be to seize stra-
tegic positions valuable for putting
the pressure on, or actually attack
ing, Turkey to establish link with
the Dodecanese and perhaps to by
pass Turkey on the route to Syria ="

dicing the final new order in the

geStionS.
1t was reported that Otto Abetz,
the German Ambassador at Paris,
had come to Berlin to explain some
developments, but that there was no
essential change in German-French
relations.
Some emotional furry was appar-
ent in Berlin today over what was
described as the irritating attitude
of Swiss newspapers respecting Ger
many.
Officers Remark Resented.
1t was complained here that the
Swiss press is giving publicity to
the opinions of speakers and writer's
who express concern over the Ger
man menace"
Especially offensive to Berlin was
the reported remark of Swiss Army
officer, who indicated that plans
were ready for smashing bridges
and tunnels as defense measure.
I'VE cannot understand Swiss
nervousness-What German person.
ality, what responsible German
publication ever menaced the
Swiss?" said an authorized spokes-
man.
He added that Germany had been
very patient" but the Swiss should
appreciate that needless irrita-
tons in the heart of Europe should
be avoided in the present circum-
stances.

BY GREG JOHNSON.

Marlboro, the picturesque half

Close to 400 horses were due at the

lands fall season ended yesterday.
Several hundred more thoroughbreds
which have been quartered at Marl-

day session, which opens at 2 pm.
Wednesday.
Every one is invited to Marlboro.
1t is open house there, with General
Manager Joseph A. Farrell as host.
Marlboro will stage eight fiat races
daily. This is one more daily than
any previous meeting there. 1t
means there will be action from
pm. until 5:45 pm. However, all
fields will be limited to eight start
ers, so as to avoid jams.
Lucky Donald" Hay, who was in
charge of the meetings this year

1t is q card to satisfy the most
critical fan, embracing talented
ring generals and sluggers Of assort-
ed shapes and sizes. Names we'll

sport are featured with q generous
sprinkling of rockies making their

Benny Rodill, Red Shield fiy-

Georgetown Backs Rodill.
All Georgetown is behind the

Rodill qualified for q shot ut Null

Injuries Bring Substitutions.
Several changes were necessary
in the card because Of an epidemic
of eleventh. hour training injuries,
but the card as finally arranged by
Billy Blake is worthwhile. At least
one revision has increased interest.
This is Don Hubsher's substitution
for ailing Larry Baldwin, whom he
defeated a week ago, against Billy
Francis of Red Shield. Hubsher is
a rough, tough hombre and may have
too much on the ball for Billy.
Amateur boxing's future hinges
precariously on the financial re-

directing 1t and who is the guiding
hand behind q year-around pro-
