_ there were reports fo other incidents.

The initial incident involving Germans and Bulgarians, it was reported, occurred at Pancherevo, a

officers overpowered several Bul-

garian watchmen who declined to allow them to enter a villa where the Germans wanted to spend the

concentrations on the Greek frontier and only a few miles from the big Turkish fortifications in Thrace the Nazis changed their tune. There was little indication from Athens that Greece would bow to German threats. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden still is there and Greek spirit for carrying on the war seemed high. However, Sofia heard a rumor that King George of Greece and his Government might retire to Crete to carry on the war from there, allowing a new Government on the mainland to negotiate terms with the Axis. Such a decision would indicate that Britain had decided not to land an expeditionary force to protect Salonika and plans only to retain a foothold on Crete. When Britain breaks relations with Bulgaria, the blockade will be extended to that country which will be treated as an enemy nation as far as commerce and trading is concerned.

R. A. F. to Go Into Action

It is expected, too, that formal war will follow shortly with Royal Air Force units bombing strategic points in Bulgaria and also the important Rumanian oil fields. The German press was crowded with long, detailed stories of the long columns of Nazi troops moving through Bulgaria. Some of the columns were said to be 60 miles long or more, jammed into narrow one-way roads where they would make a perfect target for planes if Britain moves to the attack. Sofia estimated that six German divisions of about 90,000 men now are in the country and that the force will total ultimately 14 more divisions or a total of some 300,000 men. Turks Muster 500,000 Sofia estimated that the Turks now have mustered some 500,000 troops in Thrace as a precaution. Ankara reported that German troops, including tank units, have appeared on the frontier about 100 miles from the Dardanelles. A special German diplomatic courier on an unknown mission is due at Ankara today. Rome took time out to deny rumors of a possible Italo-Greek armistice. British shipping losses since start of the war crossed the 3,000,000-ton mark as the authoritative Jane's report on world naval forces said that

Japan launched three new 40,000ton battleships in the last year and is building two more. In addition she is building three 12,000 to 15,000-ton pocket battle= ships. Jane's offered no definite data on German submarine construction but said that an American estimate of 300 might be right.

British Bomb Rhineland

On the air front the Germans made the hardest raid of the war on Cardiff in South Wales and the

British bombed the Rhineland and invasion coast. Boulogne and Ostend were’ the chief targets. Berlin said a number of British planes flew into west Germany and dropped a few explosive bombs but that “damage was small and was confined to civilian property.” Three persons were killed and two British planes were shot down by antiaircraft guns, it was claimed. A German bomber reportedly sunk a 3000-ton merchant ship off

She would tell that Ancey was in the hospital and Dr. Wesley Ward, her hero, had saved her life. “Only Monday night she called in the middle of the night. She wanted a drink. [I got it for her. And she talked again alblout Ancey being hurt in an accident.” Mrs. McLernon said that Ruth Ann and Walter had been close chums and frequently played together., Walter attended School 9 and had a consuming ambition to be an aviator. He and seven other boys trom the school generally rode their bicycles to Municipal Airport on Saturdays, taking their lunches and rémaining for the entire day, watching planes and aviators.

BRITISH AID BILL

Foes Indicate Filibuster Against Measure Has Been Discarded.

(Continued from Page One)

President Roosevelt’s Senate leaders are interested in a com amendment that would prohibit land or naval forces from delivering defense articles outside the

gressional consent. O'Mahoney Suggests Change

Senator Joseph . C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo), a friend of the bill, suggested the amendment as a basis for agreement to forestall a long, bitter fight over the Ellender amendment against use of American armed forces outside the West-

ern Hemisphere and U. S. possessions, and another amendment banning U. S. convoy of merchant ships. Mr. Wagner's statement asserted that the real issue before the Senate is the relative extent, the flexibility and the speed of the help to be given Britain. “From the vital standpoints, the lend-lease plan merits full support of all who want really effective material aid—all possible material aid now—to go to Britain,” he said.

Wagner Ill in Florida

He declared that disagreement in Oongress turns on the method rather than the policy of British aid. He traced the results of the wavering policies of the European democracies before the war. Mr. Wagner's secretary explained that the statement was issued because the Senator, who was born in Germany, was unable to appear in the Senate to speak for the bill. He has been ill several weeks and is recuperating in Florida. The New York Senator said that America would face a serious situation if Britain falls. In that event, he said, this nation would be confronted n the Pacific with Japan, controlling the vital rubber and tin resources of the East Indies, and committed to a “frank policy of un-

limited expansion throughout

Oceania.” On the Atlantic side, he said, “we would face the Nazi-Fascist hosts flushed with conquest and controlling the resources of the continents of Europe and Africa.”

. Wheeler Maps Foes’ Strategy

" Senator Schwartz's speech led off for the Administration as it began a drive to bring the bill to a final vote late this week or early next. Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.) of the Foreign Relations Committee was expected to renew his request for limitation of speeches on the bill itself to one hour for each Senator and on amendments to 30 minutes each. Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.) blocked a similar move yesterday. Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.), opposition leader, said his group would call a strategy conference today to. outline future procedure. He indicated there would be only a few more |] opposition speeches and that the Senate might begin consideration of

Western Hemisphere without Con-|

amendments late today or tomorTow.

Winfield K. Denton, minority leader, said that “a lot of things can happen to a bill in a conference committee. Since this is one of the most important of the session, we should all have a chance to read it.” “I resent the implications that this House cannot trust the conference committee,” shouted Rep. Millis, a member of the group making the report. He then gave a detailed-explana-tion of the Senate amendments in which he was asking the House to concur. : These included one change placing laundries and dry cleaners in the group receiving a rate cut but excluded all other service groups. Another places domestic casualty fire insurance companies in practically the same class as banks in that they pay on net income over and above reserves rather than gross income.

See Five Million Drop

Gross tax officials have estimated these changes would reduce the

gross tax revenue by about $5,000, E=

000 a year—$4,700,000 for retailers, $200,000 for the service group and $100,000 for the insurance com-

panies. Rep. Thomas Grinslade (Indianapolis) protested that “it is grossly unfair to include cleaners in the re-

duced rate, because they have no|f

capital turnover as the retailers have. I am bitterly opposed to it.” Rep. Hobart Creighton (R. Warsaw), a member of the State Budget committee, also opposed passing the report without a longer study.

Accept Compromise

After Rep. Roy Harrison (R. Attica), Ways and Means Committee chairman, promise by delaying action until 3 p. m. today, Rep. Denton and the other accepted. At that time, they hope to hear experts explain how much revenue will be lost by the measure. Senate action was taken today after heated debate between Demo-

PICKETS PATROL TWO PLANTS AT DECATUR

DECATUR, Ind, March 4 (U. P.). —Pickets patroled the plants of the Central Soya Co. and the McMillian feed mills here today after employees struck late yesterday in protest to the dismissal of 13 workers. The strike was called by the United Cannery orkers (C. I. 0) after negotiations over the status of the 13 workers became deadlocked. Harold J. Lane, international secretary of the union, said the men were discharged for union activity. He claimed 156 of the 176 employees at the two plants were members of the union. In addition to reinstatement of the discharged workers, the union seeks recognition and the right to bargain collectively.
