‘Nazis Marched Up

‘Even You Americans Will Agree it Was a Good,

By HENRY United Prev Sb

Officers in Athens.

1. GORRELL Af Correspondent

ATHENS, Greece, 6 P.M, April 22. (Delayed) —"I'm not much good at describing it,” the British tank officer said, “but if I ever saw a dramatic scene it was that day we were

covering the retreat of our infantry from the north and the whole German Army bore down on ug from Monastir”

(the Bitolj, Jugoslavia, pass “There had been some heavy shelling over the entire gector., Finally we could see the German Panzers (armored units) come snaking down the road. Behind each tank the German shock troops advanced en masee, their arms locked together “In the valley, our tanks—grim, gray hulks—squatied like toads, in

signs of lire. “The sun was just going down, “We fet drive with rapid fre shells. The barrage played hell with the Jeriies. They retreated. “But knowing we were outhumepered, we pulleg out. This fooled the Jerties and a few minutes after we were out of the valley, their artillery began laying down a berrific barrage there, Yes I think even you Americans would agree it WAS 4 good show.” The narrator was among a group of British tank officers and men I found here exchanging accounts of their adventures. (Gorrells dis pateh did not say whether the offi. cers were fn Athens for rest or for evacuation.) The officer said his unit had uhdergone 10 consecutive days and nights of fAghting in the northern Greek mountain passes. The same unit distinguished itself in France about a year ago. The officer made | point of that “I suppose you'll want to write R bit of a story about this” he told me. “And I guess it's okay, in view of the fact that our women will want to know were safe. to tell them that all of we are ail right. Just say were the same out fit that came out of Calais with

only seven officers and 15 men alive, They know.” He «aid his unit had obtained some measure of revenge for its defeat in France by wrecking 15 German tanks and shooting down 11 German airplanes in Greece, without one of our tanks being st By enemy action.” The dramatic meeting with the main German force he described was in the Florina sector, where the Germans poured when the South Jugosiay army collapsed. “You must have had a close shave, | Jim,” a captain said to a major. “Wasnt that you in that tank bar ring the way at that little bridge near Grevena when the Hun tanks rushed it?” “Yes” Maj Jim replied, grinning, But I'd had that bridge well taped for hours. My gunner probably never fired more than a dozen rounds but I had trained the gun myself squarely on the center of the bridge. I held our fire until the Jerries were so close to me that if they had fired they would have Blown me all the way to blighty. Then I ordered the gunner to pull the trigger. “A shell went clean through the center of the leading tank and pierced the second one. There was a big explosion and the bridge collapsed. The rest of the Hun tanks pulled out.” They were talking to each other now, rather than to American newspaper readers through me, comparing experiences in a battle which they had never hoped to win The Stukas (dive bombers) made it pretty hot for us” one of them said. “Once a bomb went off a few feet from my machine and nearly capsized it. That shook me up a bit, but that wasnt the half of it. We fired our guns £0 fast my brains felt like scrambled eggs. My tanks brought down two German planes with Bren guns”

They're trying to bring the Governor and four Republican elected State officials together on a compromise, Leaders of the G, O. P. legisla« tive group which wanted the party leadership to tone down the pate | ronage-grabbing features of its ‘program also are busy. Their prophecies of court setbacks are coming true and they hope to sal vage as much as possible. An attorney high in the ranks of the G. O. P, put it this way: “When the Governor offered us 80 per cent of the State jobs, our leaders turned him down. They said the party workers over the State were demanding jobs and couldn't be turned down. They told us the Governor would not dare to bring court action. But he did. Now we may not get any of them. In all my years of law practice, no client ever complained when I settled for 80 per cent of what were were asking.” A compromise agreement still may be possible, but both sides are perched precariously on long limbs at the moment. For one thing, it would be hard for the Democrats to retreat after accept ing contributions from employees to push the court fight. And the G. O. P. leaders would be in a bad

Study Merit Law Fate

WITH THE rest of the Republican program tied up in the courts temporarily, speculation has arisen over what will happen to the new Merit System Law which goes into effect in eight days. This act sets up a State Personnel Board to handle the hiring and firing of about 2500 employees in three State departments and all institutions. Governor Schricker permitted it to become a law without his signature, admitting that it was a worthwhile forward step. But he challenged the consti tutionality of its appointing provisions, which empowers him to name two members of the board and the Lieutenant Governor, when he is of the opposite political faith, to name the other two. So far, no court action has been taken against this law. But in their other suits, the Demoerats have charged that the Lieutenant Governor is not an administrative officer and there« fore can not have appointing power, Some officials have been under the impression that Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Dawson's hands al« ready are tied by a court injunce tion in this appointment. But they are not, Just what the Democrats will do will be decided at conferences this week. »

Liquor Act Effective Soon

ANOTHER G. O. P. measure which goes into effect a week from tomorrow is the Stout Liquor Act. No trouble is expected here, since the Governor is to appoint all four board members, two “with the approval and consent of" the Lieutenant Governor. It's reported that Goevrnor | Schricker will reappoint his present bi-partisan board. Lieut. Gov. Dawson will be asked to “approve and consent"—bhut if he doesn’t, the law doesn't provide him with any method of making any changes. » . ~

LONDON, April 23 (U. P) Lieut. Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, commander of Australian forces in the Middle East, today was appointed second in command to Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, head of the Middle Eastern Imperial Army, in an obvious attempt to check Australian

discontent over the conduct of the said

campaign in Greece. News of the appointment was broadcast to Australia by Robert G. Menzies, Australian Prime Minister, who is visiting here.

These problems are the subject of a lot of study by Governor Schricker and his aids.

The Democrats haven't said whether he would or wouldn't,

He had been released to the German Consul General in New York who put up the bond. “Von Werra has now taken flight in violation of the terms of his ree lease,” Mr. Jackson said. “Such conduct constitutes a flagrant abuse of neutral hospitality which has been invoked on his behalf.”
