British Are Reported
Rushed From Piraeus
To Battle Germans
Reinforcements Declared
Arriving in Southern
Greece From Africu
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, April To-
The British were reported filling in
new defense line across the Greek
Peninsula today, rushing fame
throWerS. tanks and armored cars
north from Piraeus. the port of
Athens. for a decisive battle with
German blitzkrieg invaders.
Strong British reinforcementS
were said to be arriving in Southern
Greek ports from Africa.
Presumably. many of the troops
were brought from the Libyan desert
campaign in North Africa. where a
skeleton defense force has fallen
back under the onslaught of COM
bined German and Italian contin-
gents
With Greece split in two and
Eastern Thrace and Northern Mace
donia engulfed in Adolf Hitlers
"Drang mach Osten,' the British
were reported to be manning a new
line extending from point south
of Salonika to the Albanian port of
Chimara, on the Adriatic Sea.
The British were reported to be
on a l50-mile defense line in North
ern Greece, from Phlorina south
east to Mount Olympus, anchored
at the left by the 8.500-foot Mount
Perister and Lake Prespa and run
ming along mile-high range
through the town of Kozani TO
Olympus. a 950O-foot peak.
Although the Greeks asserted the
remnants of their Macedonian army
encircled by the Germans north of
Salonika still we're holding out in
fight to the death, it appeared that
all hopes for Stemming the Nazi
push hinged on the new defense
line.
Yugoslavs May Fight Alone.
Reports from the front indicated
that Yugoslavia would be compelled
to fight separate battle.
Italian and German armies were
expected to meet not far from the
Albanian-Yugosla border west of
Skoplje, strategic city at the head
of the Vardar River Valley leading
to Salonika.
"a Budapest newspaper pub
liShed report that German and
Italian troops had established
contact in Albania
German mechanical troops were
reported last night to have reached
Tetovo, about % miles west of
Skoplje and only Is miles from
Italian advance elements at Brad,
just inside the Yugoslav frontier.
The Yugoslavs, meanwhile, were
making a desperate effort to cut
through the Italian lines in Albania
and join hands with the Greeks
near Lake Ochrida, but they were
said to be still some so miles from
their objective.
One Yugoslav column, driving
down along the Albanian coast, was
reported attempting to force a
crossing of the Matt River, about 81
miles north of the Albanian capital
of Tirana capturing Scutari and
AlesSio in a 35-mile advance.
Military observers expressed belief,
however. that the British Navy must
act quickly to force a passage of
the straits of Otranto between Italy
and Albania and open a sea lane
to Yugoslavia if military aid and
American war material is to reach
her before she may be overwhelmed.

Warning that Americas s home de-

if wartime destruction of merchant
shipping is not arrested, President
Roosevelt today asked Congress for
broad statutory authority to take
over any 'foreign-oWned vessels
lying idle" in United States ports.
In message to Congress, accom-
panied by a proposed resolution of
authorization. the President sug-
gested that such vessels be acquired
on payment of just compensation
He suggested further that funds to
finance this program be taken from
the s700O,000,00O appropriated for
the lease-lend law.
In this latter suggestion and also
in the wording of the President S
message were seen clear indications

OF possible significance in con-
necUion with the Presidents ship

toner to the following paragraph
of the Presidents message;
1T is obvious that our own ulti-
mate defense will be rendered futile
if the growing shortage Of ship
ping facilities is not arrested. 1t
is also obvious that inability to re-
move accumulating materials from
our ports can only result in stop
page of production. with attendant
unemployment and suspension of
production contracts. 1t is there
fore essential. both to our defense
plans and to our domestic economy,
that We shall not permit the con-
tinuance of the immobilization in
our harbors of shipping facilities.
The extent and the possible speed
for continuing aid to nations op-
posing axis powers was discussed
again today at a White House con-
ference involving the heads of four
departments and Mr.. Roosevelt's
principal advisers on the whole
lease-lend program. Called to par
ticipate in this discussion were Sec
retary of State Hull, Secretary of
