PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 1942. URGE HITLER TO BALKJNVASION Second Front Threat Feared Italian Troops Wait Nazi Orders. London, June 27 W) Ger ' man military leaden are urging Adolph Hitler to occupy all France to meet the growing threat of an allied attempt to establish a second front in west ern Europe, an unusually well informed foreign source declar ed today. At the same time the Inde pendent French News Agency at Beirut reported that 300,000 Italian soldiers were concen trated In northern Italy ready to move into France to reinforce the German army of occupation. The intimation that the nazis might be preparing to take over the third of conquered France which still is unoccupied was said to have come through "Trustworthy underground channels" the same channels which recently reported that the Germans were moving hea vy guns from the Maglnot and Siegfried lines to the French west coast. The source credited with re laying this information also said he had been informed more than 1,000,000 French residents have been evacuated from the coastal areas In connection with the German defense preparations. The area between Boulogne and Dieppe, he said, "has been particularly well-cleared by the nazis of everybody suspected of being likely to aid allied invad ers." The same source asserted there was a possibility that Hit ler might recall General Johan nes Blaskowilz hero of the Po lish campaign, who has been in virtual retirement since report edly disagreeing with the Fueh rer over the invasion of Russia to assist in reorganizing the defenses of western Europe. In line with this reorganiza tion Hitler was said to have re placed 26 German divisional commanders within the last three or four weeks in a dras tic shakeup. The source warned, however, that all these reported develop ments should not be considered a sign of weakness on the part of the Germans at the present stage. "They should be taken for tho present for Just what they re evidence of German pre paredness which the allies must be equipped to overcome if and when they Invade," he said.
