British Battle Fleet Is Con. centrated At Western
 End of Mediterranean SECOND FLEET MAY
 ENTER ATLANTIC ZONE Italy, Germany Are Both ScOrnful of Alarms Made
 By Great Britain
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondentv
 Dispatches from British sources indicated today that Empire fleet, material and troop disposals have been completed to meet a major German thrust in the Medi- terranean-Balkan area. Ma drid reported advices from Gibraltar of a big British fleet concentration at the western end of the Mediterranean and be- lieved that British battle flee1 might be preparing to enter the Atlantic.
 The admiralty revealed ct CairG that @ major convoy movement ins volving fleet operations in the ceSls tral Mediterranean close to the 0er- man dive-bomber bases on Sicily had been completed from March 2i-24.
 It appeared that these reports might indicate that the movement of a British expeditionary force to Greece Is now complete and that. the troops are in position to meet a German attack which may come at any moment.
 There was some belief that the Germans may delay launching Q Balkan offensive until after the visit to Berlin of Japan's foreign minis ter, Yosuke Matsuoka and waiting period to determine how serious Serbian resentment to Jugoslav adherence to the Axis pact proves to be.

City Charter Measure
 Caused Excitemen ent
Was Reported Unfavoraby At First By Committee Chairman Senator Egan Discovers Mistake,
 That Was Quickly Corrected
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislative Reporter)


 State Capitol, Hartford, March 26.-Senate Bill, 925, which is the City of Waterbury's main charter revision measure, was reported un- favorably in the Senate this morn- ing by Senator John L. Sullivan chairman of the Cities and Bor- oughs Committee.
 It was e more or less prosaic announcement by the New Britain senator and was included among a batch of other bills on which tiil- favorable reports were returned to- day, but, 1t was just a mistake.
 Neither of the Waterbury senators realized that 1t was the main Wa terbury charter revision bill that was being reported unfavorably upon when the number of the bill was called and 1t wasn't until some minutes later that Senator Edward P. Egan scanning his legislative cal- endar realized what had happened.
 He quickly conferred with Sena- tor Sullivan and the latter as quick ly communicated with the presiding officer and withdrew the unfavor- able report. Senate Bill 925 is still in the hands of a. sub-commit- tee of the Cities and Boroughs com mittee and will not be reported out for several weeks, it Is expected.
 The bill was first heard a week ago and there may be another gen. eral hearing called for 1t, if suf- ficient public interest IS manifest, according to Senator Sullivan's re- cent announcement. Many changes are made in sections of the charter under its provisions.
