London, Sept. l6-(UP)-Nad-
inspired reports persisted today that
an Allied invasion Of the Balkans
was imminent, with. Jugoslavia and
Albania most frequently mentioned
as landing points.
The Germans put out through
neutral sources reports that the
British Ninth Of 10th army In the
middle east either already had en-
barked or was about to do so. They
also specialized on the task assign
ed the U. S. Seventh army.
The Nazi-controlled Scandinavian
Telegraph Bureau carried a dis
patch under Zurich dateline say
ing that the speed with which the
Germans occupied the Dalmatian,
Albanian and Greek coasts could be
tken as an indication of German
fears that an Allied landing in the
Adriatic was near.
Though the Germans claimed
entire coaStline Of Albania and Dali
that their troops have occupied the
malta, JugoSlav sources in London
said patriot forces hold 37-mile

(Umiteu kreSS SCatI C0rreSpOnuent)
London, Sept. 16.--(UP)-PlanS
for preliminary tri-power confer
ence still are undergoing revision, 1t
was believed today, despite circum-
stantial reports that meeting
among Secretary of State Hull,
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Foreign Commissar v. M. Molo-
tov practically Is assured.
The reports suggested the meeting
would be held in London tut latest
indications were that the meeting
place was uncertain. Moscow was
mentioned prominently and there
was a possibility it would be held
in Britain but outside Of London.
It was doubted that Hulls health
would permit so arduous trip as
ore to Moscow and the job of
American representative might go to
w. Averill Hartman, U. s. Lend
lease representative in London. Eden
still was expected to represent Bri-
tain and presumably Molotov would
represent Russia If the conference
was held in his country.
1t was evident that despite re-
peated discussions hero and in
Washington and Moscow that it had
been impossible as yet to arrange
the basic details, including place,
time, personnel and agenda, but
there was no explanation Of the diff
ficulties.
However, it was suggested that
an agreement may be very close
The decisions may be awaiting the
return Of Prime Minister Churchill
to Britain.

UNITED Press Correspondent

London, Sept. 16-(UP)-
American Flying Fortresses
carrying a nonstop air often
sive through it's second day
smashed today at the German
naval base of Nantes on the
French Atlantic coast a few
hours after British bombers
attacked Berlin and a tire fac
tory near Vichy.
Thunderbolt fighters of the

to Nantes, on the Loire river
estuary 80 miles from St.

An American headquarters
announcement said the four
motored bombers struck at
naval install lations. The
switching of the offensive to
that target suggested the
Nazis had shifted the seat of
their sea operations in that
sector to Nantes from the
often bombed st. Nazaire sub
marine base.
The Fortresses resumed the often

flve-day lull yesterday with attacks
on Nazi air bases in France, and the
Royal Air Force followed through
with night raids on Berlin and the
rubber plant at Montlucon north
west Of Vichy.
The blow at Berlin appeared to
have been q singing attack by swift
twin-engined Mosquito bombers on
picked targets. Other planes made
raids on northwestern Germany and
northern France.
Unloading possibly 1000 tons Of
explosives, the giant four-engined
Royal Air Force planes blasted the
Montlucon plant 40 miles northwest
Of Vichy soon after the Fortresses
returned from their first dusk-hour
assaults aimed at three major fac

London, Sept. 16-(UP)-
German occupation forces vir-
tually have cut off Vatican
City from communication
with the outside world, Cath
olic sources in Madrid said to-
day.
In anticipation Of just such
! move, a Madrid dispatch
said, Pope Plus XII recently
dispatched a number of spe-
cial ENJOYS to foreign coun-
tries and forwarded detailed
instructions to the church
hierarchy as to future steps.
Nazi restrictions on free use Of
the Vatican radio were said to have
prevented neutral as well as bel;ig-
erent diplomats at the Vatican
from communicating with their re-
specttve governments for nearly
three days.
Hundreds Of German troops ar
bitrartly have assumed protection Of
st. Peters Basilica in Vatican City,
as well as Of the Church OF st.
Johns Lateran and the college Of
propagation Of the faith in ONE,
Madrid said.
Guns In Vatican
German rnachine-guns and anti
tank guns were, said to have been
set up on church property both in
side and outside the Vatican walls.
"a National Broadcasting Com
pany reporter said In a report from
Switzerland that 10 anti-tank guns
had been set UP in st. Peters
Square at the bottom Of the steps
leading UP TO the cathedral that
machine gums had been placed all
along the Colonnade and that Nazi
parachute troops had been posted
TO prevent ali Vatican communica-

(The reporter said Italians may

pray since the Germans fear 1t
