Yugoslavia Signs Pact;
Balkan Showdown Near
, (Continued from page 1)
os woi ndod throueh nor trrrl
ta-y -which Orccce has alreadv
warned Yugoslavia she wijld re-
Bard as a "hoslllo net."
"Von Ribbentron promised Ihirt
Germany, Italy and Japan would
respect Yugoslavian sovereignty
"for all time" and that "the gov
ernments of the axis powers dur
ing thin' war will not permit the
marching or transport of troops
through Yugoslav territory."
Authoritative London quarters,
swiftly reacting to the comple
tion of Hitler's latest "telephone
conquest," sold Britain reserved
the right to attack any German
troops appearing In Yugoslavia.
A reliable source In London
said Germany had massed 800.
000 troops in the Balkans to
carry out a blitzkrieg attack and
ruard the soviet Russian frontier.
Earlier reports had estimated i balloons were shot down, nan
strait favored hit-nnd-run tac
tics. .
Three Cerman planes roared
out of low clouds at one time and
dive-bombed ships with no appar
ent damage. British Spitfires
chased them away, London reported.
Nazi Report Blows
Heavy bomb hits were scored
by nazl air raiders on a British
battleship In the Mediterranean
southwest of the Greek island of
Crete, the German high com
mand declared today.
An "enemy outpost boat" was
destroyed there, the dally war
bulletin said, nnd two large
freighters, each of about 8,000
tons, were severely damaged In
an air attack on a British convoy
soutn oi Crete.
Nazi raiders were said to have
struck again at Valletta harbor
on the British Mediterranean Is
land of Malta "in the face of the
strongest defense" and to have
scored hits on anchored ships
and loading facilities.
In attacks on England, the
communique said, six barrage
the British strength already
landed at 300,000; Greek troops
which could be diverted to oppose
nazi invasion at 400,000; and
Turkish troops massed on the
Bulgarian frontier at 100,000.
With the Adriatic kingdom
newly enrolled In the axis bloc,
Hitler's Balkan armies were
safeguarded from a possible
flank attack from Yugoslav ter
ritorythus clearing the decks
for the long-expected "battle of
ino ualkans" which appeared
ready to break at any moment.
8howdown Imminent
Observers saw these danger
signals for a quick showdown:
1. Soviet Russia pledged ben
evolent neutralitv to Turkey, in
the event that Turkey is "oblig
ed to enter the war. for the de
fense of her territory.'.' Turkey
is Britain's non-belligerent ally
and close friend of Greece.
2. Bulgarian reports said
Greek and German troops had al
ready clashed in frontier skirm
ishes. 3. Soviet war materials were
reported flowing into Turkey,
and reliable sources said Russia
had halted shipments of vital oil
supplies to Germany.
4. Russian army and naval
forces, facing German forces in
southeast Europe, were reported
oeing strengthened.
5. British Foreign Minister
Eden renewed Britain's pledge
to fight at the side of Greece "un
til final victory Is won."
- ' Yugoslavs Bitter
., Bitterly-expressed opposition to
the pact within Yugoslavia indi
cated that mere signature by the
diplomats might not be the final
step In clearing the country for
nazl military use.
Streets In Yugoslav cities were
littered last night with manifes
tos accusing Yugoslav leaden of
n traitorous sellout; of bringing
"certain shameful death for our
country"; and threatening death
to submissive government lead
ers. Actual warfare was almost at
n standstill.
Greek troops claimed to have
Inflicted heavy losses on Italians
attacking yesterday near the
Viosa river in Albania.
Air activity on England's south
gars, barracks and sheds were
damaged on three airfields and,
"in low altitude attacks, parked
pursuit and bombing planes were
machine-gunned."
Sea Toll Declines
A British admiralty announce
ment today showed a drop in
Britain's sea losses for the sec
ond successive week, while she
returns blow for blow In the bat-.
tie of the Atlantic.
This compared with total
losses of 98,832 tons the previous
week and 141,314 tons the week
before that.
The British, declared that in
the same period Britain's own
naval and air raiders were sink
ing almost three tons of axis
ships for every four tons Brit
ain and her allies lost.
Compared with the announce-
ed total of 410,000 tons lost to
allied and neutral shipping in the
five weeks up to March 16, the
British said axis losses. In that
period were 300,000 tons,
Keports reaching Belgrade said
Germany had secretly dispatched
nearly a quarter million troops
Into Italy to maintain order and
prevent a separate Italian-Greek
peace.
Marshal Grazlanl Quits
At the same time, It was offi
cially announced In Rome that
Marshal Rodolfo Grazlanl, chief
of the fascist armies In north
Africa, has resigned his com
mand. An official announcement sold
General Italo Garlboldi, chief of
Grazlanl's staff In Libya, had
been promoted to governor with
crmmand of troops In Libya.
Graziani organized the Italian
advance Into Egypt which was
turned Into n retreat when the
British recaptured Sldl Barrani
last December. He retained com
mand throughout the British
counter-offensive in which the
Italians were driven from cast-
rn Libya. , ,
Two agents of the United States
conciliation service were at the
scene.
Police, Goons Clash '
The CIO strikers at the Inter
national Harvester McCormlck
plant in Chicago pararled nearby
streets as non-striking American
Federation of I,abor and unaffil
iated workers entered. Police
Captain John Stege said "goon
squads" assaulted numerous
workers going to their Jobs and
added that 10 or more men had
been arrested. Seven hundred
police were on duty at the plant
when It opened and 300 were
added due to the violence.
There were no pickets ot the
actual gates today, and picket
shacks had been torn down over
night. Leaders of the farm
equipment workers organizing
committee had Issued a call for
a "mass mobilization of CIO un
ionists at the plant gates today.
Yesterday the AFL men
marched to work in a body to re
open the strike-bound plant, with
protection of the police and a
court injunction limiting the CIO
pickets to 10 to a gate.
Police this morning drove
crowds of CIO men and sympa
thizers back a block from the
gates, after several thousand CIO
members and sympathizers par
aded streets near the plant, yell
ing and jeering at non-striking
AFL and unaffiliated workers
filtering into the factory.
The national board has no pow
ers to compel settlement of labor
disputes. The executive order
creating it stipulated it might in
vestigate labor disputes and pub
lish the findings if necessary in
an effort to settle controversies.
Representative Vinson (D., Ga.)
has announced hearings will
start in April on legislation to
give it statutory powers.
