OF alrplaneS over the
Athens area to bomb transports in
the port of Piraeus.
Two of Adolf Hitler's mechanic
ed columns, paced by veteran IS
troops, stabbed with lightning speed
into each end of the first defense
line running across northern Greece,
sliced through British motorized
columns south of Phlorina and
north of Mount Olympus and cut
huge wedge extending so miles
from the Jugoslav border to the
Aliakmon river, near Servia, in
Greece.
AS the British and Greeks sought
to consolidate their second line
of defense, the German columns
swiftly began cutting up the area
they had encircled and reported the
capture of both Kozane, an i'm
portant junction which the British
had used as an advance base, and
Ptolemais.
CASUALTIES HEAVY
Both British and Greek sources
admitted the retirement of the
main line forces, but they said that
heavy casualties had been inflicted
on the Germans.
Athens radio repeatedly report
ed the situation was favorable and
that-contrary to Nazi charges that
the British were seeking to flee
| Greece by Sea-more and more
British troops were moving into
! position.
There were reports in Berlin that
| the JugoSlavS were asking for an
armlStice and soon might end their
scattered mountain fighting against
the Germans.
The British viewed calmly the
advance of Axis forces into Egypt.
The Royal air force reported %
German planes had been shot down
in fighting near Tobruk, which the
Axis mechanized forces circled in
their drive into Egypt, and said
| British troops at that coastal city
were in a position to threaten the
extended German lines.
British troops reported inflict-
ing heavy casualties on Axis forces
at Tobruk, took about 200 prisoners

PROPAGANDA ACTIVE
German and italian propaganda
was going full swing to supplement
the Mediterranean operations. Rome
reported that Gen. Dusan T. Simo-
witch, JugoSlav premier, was at
Athens preparing to go to Mos
cow
The Berlin press charged the
British were attempting "treach-
erous and shameful withdrawal
from Greece. These charges were
denied formally in London as "fan-
tastic' in view of the arrival OF
more British troops in the Greek
fighting lines.
Neither British nor German re-
ports made clear the extent u
fighting in connection with the
Nazi break-through in Greece, but

Cornices crashed from buildings
in the central part of the city, en-
dangering the lives of hundreds who
had dashed from their offices into
the open streets for safety.
A building on Gale Santa Maria
Redonda, near the Follies Bergere,
caught fire and a huge column OF
smoke rose over the downtown sec
ton.
Many residents left their auto
mobiles in streets and highways and
ran for open parts of the city to
escape the debris from cracking

pieces of stone facing fell from a
new skyscraper. Bricks and stone
work of the new PAM building un-
der construction across from the
Hotel Regis crashed down into the
street.
AS the United Press correspon-
dent watched from his offices on
the Paseo de la Reforma in the
heart of the city, ne saw cornices
shaken from a History skyscrapeT
diagonally across the plaza.
In the distance smoke could be
seen rising from fires.
Fire engines and ambulances
raced through the streets with sir
ems shrieking to aid persons be-
lieved trapped in small wrecked
buildings or injured by falling de-
bris.
The shocks were the most severe
felt by the United Press correspon-
dent in his II years of service III

located on a plateau 7,400-feet above
sea level.
Earth shocks are felt frequently
here but there had been no really
severe quakes for six or eight years
The quake struck as many per-
sons were leaving their offices for
the afternoon siesta. The streets
filled quickly.
Broken electric circuits caused
the fire near the Follies Bergere
theater it was learned.
The buildings still were shaking
from the earth shocks as the Unit

this dispatch.
Police headquarters reported that
eight fires had been caused in the

second installment total That
means that good portion of the
balance of 100000 will come tumbl-
ing in under the wire within the
next two weeks.
A study of first installment fig
ures showed that approximately
Sll2,000 out of total of $4,000

Official Injured
Inn Auto Accident

A broken neck apparently was
only a headache to Viggo Hansen,
plump chief of the liquor control
division OF the State Board of
Equalization in e. Centro.
Hansen was in Mercy hospital
IN San Diego Tuesday, recovering
from a neck vertebrae fracture
suffered in a motor car accident
about S am Saturday. 1t was ap-
parently many hours after the ac-
cident before he was aware of his
injury, however.
Reports of the accidents were
fragmentary. Neither police, high
way patrol nor sheriffs office had
any record. According to Hansen's
office, the liquor control executive
was returning from San Diego with
an aide, Walter F. Lee of El Centro,
when their car overturned on
Adams avenue near the l1th street
Intersection.
It was several hours later be-
fore a doctor was consulted and
still later that Hansen was driven
by his wife to San Diego where
he entered Mercy hospital.
Lee, meanwhile, was suffering
from hip injury. He was treated
at the Ell Centro hospital and re-
moved to his home Monday His
injury was described by physicians
as not serious.
Hansen probably will be released
from hospital within tens days but
Will have to wear cast.
Slippery streets were blamed for
the accident. Driving through a
light rain, one wheel of the car
