Britain was seeking not only mill
tary, but also diplomatic assistance
from the United States.

Nozi Of ffensive Against Greece
Expected Within 48 Hours as
Britain Rushes Arms to Turkey
10000 Germans
And Hundreds of
Tanks Ready
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Germany, with 10000 troops
and hundreds of tank and
armored cars massed along the
Greek border, will attack Eastern
Macedonia and Thrace within
the next 48 hours. neutral mil
itary observers in Sofia heard to-
day.
This indication that Germany was
ready to strike at Greece from Bull
garia came after reports that
Britain was rushing spare war equip
ment to Turkey. in hopes that the
latter would launch a flank attack
against the Germans, and that
Greece was speedily bolstering her
forces along the Bulgarian frontier.
1t was revealed in Belgrade that
Yugoslav Regent Prince Paul recent
ly visited Adolf Hitler at Berchtes-
gaden
Turkeys controlled press bluntly
defed Germany, declaring that the
spread of the war in the Balkans
seemed inevitable, and warned Hit
Ter that against his handful of
birdshot reassuranceS stands
two million Turkish bayonetS."
Greek diplomatic quarters eX-
pressed the belief that Turkey would
send troops into the mountains of
Grecian Trace to help combat a
German invasion of the little Aegean
kingdom.
Earlier this week, Hitler sent an
urgent message by plane to Turkish
President Ismet Inonu in which the
Nazi Fuehrer was said to have as
serted he desired only to look after
Turkeys well-being.
Diplomatic sources in Belgrade
predicted that YugoSlavia-under
pressure to choose between the axis
and Britain-would refrain from
joining the Rome-Berlin-T al
lance for the time being at least.
Belgrade heard that statement
relterating YugoSlavias neutrality
might be expected within a few

YugosIovio and Turkey
Watched by Diplomats

SOFIA, March 7 LPl.-Neutral
military observers heard tonight that
German troops massed on the Greek
and Turkish frontiers may launch
an attack from Bulgaria on Eastern
Macedonia and Thrace within 48
hours"
More than 10000 Nazi troops,
hundreds of tanks and armored cars
already are in position for quick
attack.
With the axis push expected at
any moment, diplomatic observers
watched Yugoslavia and Turkey for
indications of how those two Balkan
entente allies of Greece would be-
have when Adolf Hitler's blitzkrieg
army starts rolling.
From the heights south of Zlato-
grad, the Germans massed on the
frontier could see the blue water of
the Aegean Sea across the Greek
border.
The Aegean port Of Salonika
backdoor to the Balkans, would be
the first immediate objective of any
German thrust across Greece.
Greeks Bolster Defenses.
The British were reported rushing
all their spare equipment to the
Turks, the Germans commandeerec
transport to accelerate the flow OF
Nazi troops to the Greek frontier
and the Greeks hastily strengthened
their Notifications today as new
Balkan war front appeared to be in
the swift making.
The British, it was said, were
making every effort to strengthen
their allies against the first shock
and were rushing equipment to the
Turks who are in position to
launch a flank attack on the German
Army if it attempts an invasion OF
Greece.
In London it was asserted that
Britain is speeding enough cap
tured Italian military supplies to
Greece to equip an entire army
corps and some of this equipment
already is in use against its for
mer owners in Albania
Greek diplomatic quarters here
said they believed the Turks would
launch a drive into the Rhodope
Mountains, chain extending east
and west along the Bulgarian Greek
frontier, if Germany does attempt
an offensive.
The Greek Army absolutely will
fight any German invasion" these
quarters said.
Civilians Leave Thrace.
Preparing for all eventualities, the
Greeks were reported removing
civilians from the threatened area
in Thrace. and bolstering with troops
and artillery their positions along
the narrow defileS of the Struma.

that Greek Gen. Alexander PapagoS

Automobile Output
Is Showing Signs
Of Leve|ing Off
Some Smaller Producers
Have Already Cut
Factory Schedules
By DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Automotive Editor


DETROIT, June 30.-Car and
truck production which has been
roaring along at an average of more
than $4,000 units month since
the start of 194l model year Is
showing signs of leveling off.
Some of the smaller producing
units already have cut down on
their output schedules and plan to
wind up current model assemblies
some time shortly after the Inde-
pendence Day holiday. Those COM
panies continuing assemblies right
through to the end of July also will
reduce their ass m bly, plant
schedules unless present plans are
suddenly altered
All of this combined with holi-
day-shortened first week in July
means a sharply curtailed output
volume for the final month of the
194l model year.
May Drop Below Estimates.
Car and truck production from
last October l to date aggregates
4700,00O units. Included in the
total is a June output estimated at
close to $4,000 vehicles. With a
shrinkage in volume indicated for
July, the aggregate for the model
wear probably vii drop slightly
below the 5,289 900 units estimated
by the Office Of production manage
ment recently when 1t called for a
20.15 per cent reduction in next
years assemblies.
Output last week, according to
Wards Reports, Inc. totaled l27 926
units compared with the previous
weeks 1866
Reports from various sales dis
tricts indicate that while consid-
cradle volume of untitled orders still
are on dealers books, demand in
some sections appears TO have be-
come somewhat steadier. Most Of
the sales executives believe this de-
velopment 10 be about the only
normal tendency in an otherwise
wholly abnormal situation as the
end of the model period approaches.
1912 Plans Uncertain.
They are confident that every car
produced in July will be tagged for
retail delivery regardless of the out
put volume during the final month
of the model year. Plans for 1912
model production Immediately fol-
lowing the official end of the
automotive year still are somewhat
uncertain.
With no major changes in me-
chanical design contemplated the
switch lover problem in itself is a
relatively simple one. Some slow
ing down may develop. however,
out of the adaptation of new mate
rials and new production opera
tions necessitated by the introduc-
ton of new machining processes.
