LONDON, June 27.-German
military leaders are urging Adolf
Hitler to occupy all France to
meet the growing threat of an
Allied attempt to establish a Sec
ond front in Western Europe, an
unusually well-informed foreign
source declared today.
At the same time the independent
French news agency at Beirut re-
ported that 100000 italian soldiers
were concentrated in Northern
Italy ready to move into France to
reinforce the German army OF
occupation.
The intimation that the Nazis
might be prepared to take over the
third of conquered France which
still is unoccupied was said to have
come through Trustworthy under
ground channels same chan
nels which recently reported that
the Germans were moving heavy
guns from the Maginot and Sieg-
fried lines to the French west coast.
1000, 900 Residents Moved.
The source credited with relaying
this information also said he had
been informed more than l,000, 900
French residents have been evacu-
ated from the coastal areas in con-
nection with the German defense
preparations.
The area between Boulogne and
Dieppe. he said, has been particu-
larly Well-cleared by the Nazis of
everybody suspected Of being likely
to aid Allied invaders"
The same source asserted there
was possibility that Hitler might
recall Gen. Johannes Blaskowitz-
hero of the Polish campaign who
has been in virtual retirement since
repeatedly disagreeing with the
Fuehrer over the invasion Of
Russia-to assist in reorganizing the
defenses of Western Europe.
Divisional Heads Changed.
In line with this reorganization
Hitler was said to have replaced rs
German divisional commanders
within the last three or four weeks
In a drastic shakeup.
The source warned, however. that
all these reported developments
should not be considered sign of
weakness on the part Of the Ger
mans at the present stage.
They should be taken for the
present for just what they are
evidence Of German preparedness
which the Allies must be equipped to
overcome if and when they invade"
