WPA plans for building access roads to seven Indiana strategical defense plants have been rushed to Washington headquarters for approval, John KX. Jennings, State WPA Administrator reported today. The access roads, requested by the War Department, are to be built to areas serving the following defense projects: Delco-Remy Division of General Motors at Anderson; Indiana Ordnance Works, Charlestown; Hoosier Ordnance Plant, Charlestown; Studebaker Corp. Ft. Wayne; Studebaker Corp. South Bend; Jefferson Proving Ground, Madison, and the Kingsbury Ordnance Plant, Union Center. The War Department has said that these industrial plants are in immediate need of access roads because of greatly increased automobile and truck traffic resulting from industrial defense activity. The State WPA administrator also revealed that appromixately 700 WPA workers are speeding construction and improvement of six Indiana highways which have been certified by the War Department as being important units in the preparedness program. These projects, which call for a | total expenditure of $400,000, [clude U. S. 20, La Porte County. U. 8S. 40. Wayne County; U, S. 52 Benton County; U. S. 41, Lake County; and U.

On the production front, it was learned that a meeting of the {OPM's production planning board has been called for tomorrow to study co-ordination of American and British armament needs. One lof the board members is Harry L. Hopkins, who recently completed a survey of the British war situation for President Roosevelt. Mr, Biggers named the board on Feb. 20. Mr. Biggers would not comment lon the meeting but said the hoard had been working for three weeks on Army, Navy, Maritime Commis|sion and the British requirements. He said some new plants would be needed to meet war-aid production that would not have heen required for our own needs. The $7.000.000.000 has a $752.000,000 item for new plant construction. Mr, Biggers said negotiations of contracts and selection of plant sites for these {new facilities are being carried out | between the War Department and the OPM.

the open, written pledge to respect Jugoslav sovereignty and territory and not to send troops through Jugoslavia, made by the German Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop. The Belgrade government has scored an important success by thus placing Germany on record to keep troops off Jugoslav soil. If Hitler were to break this promise, the Jugoslav Army would be free to fight for national rights. Only the delicacy of the antiGerman domestic situation in Jugoslavia with the threat of civil war approaching reality, could have forced the Fuehrer to agree to such terms. It is Hitler's first setback at the hands of a small nation and cannot be considered otherwise. By compelling the Fuehrer to relinquish his plan, to use Jugoslavia as a military base, the Belgrade Government has given important help to Great Britain and Greece. For, if Germany attacks Greece, it can only be by the difficult Bulgar routes, The approach inte Greece by way of the Vardar River in southern Jugoslavia is closed to the German

Army, That is the only comparatively level route into Greek terri tory with but small obstacles against

the passage of mechanized units and tanks. Had the Jugoslavs been forced to yield to Germany on this vital issue, any Anglo-Greek defense against a German invasion would have become difficult. Now, however, the Greeks, with British help, can look with more confidence to meeting a German drive, Any German attempt to conquer Greece must first pass over the Bulgarian border mountains, which at places rise a mile in height. The paths are limited and narrow and for centuries have been known as |defiles of death for invaders. It is not known what Anglo-Greek military plans have been formulated in Eastern Greece. If, however, the Greeks and British have finally decided to resist a German attack in the east while simultaneously trying to hold back the Italians in Al bania, the Jugoslavs have made the problem far less difficult than it might have been.
