Churchill reminded French

The British, lie continued,

TURK-RUSSIAN

European Turkey Jammed
With Troops, Bulgar
ian Paper Says
By Tha -Associatod Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 21
Reports that Soviet Russian
Turkish military talks had been
instituted and that Turkish mili
tary preparation was increasing
along the strategic Dardanelles
gateway to the Near East were
beard today in the Balkans.
At the same time, Rumania In
augurated a blackout for Buch
arest and the nearby oil fields.
- Troopi Mova
Travelers from Turkey said in
Athens that railway lines to
Adrianople, a Turkish city in
territory wedged between the
Bulgarian and Greek borders,
were jammed with troop trains,
while a half a million Turkish
troops were said to be already
in the region of the Dardanelles.
A rumor that Soviet-Turkish
military talks were under way
in Adrianople was carried by the
Budapest newspaper, Magyar
Nemzet, while other unconfirm
ed reports said the Turks were
building new fortifications and
communications. ;
The Turkish press, predicting
that the axis would attempt its
next push in the Near East,
played up British maneuvers to
counter such a drive.
Bucharest, the once gay capi
tal of Rumania, and the rich
Ploesti old fields nearby were
blacked out at midnight last
night under new regulations.
Despite warlike talk, however,
most Balkan observers felt it un
likely that an axis campaign was
in the offing but that only strong
diplomatic action could be ex
pected for the time being.

RAF PLAIN
TO TAKE WAR
Air Force Pounds Axis
Cities; Germans Pro
test "Terror"
By Tho Associated Frets -
Great Britain served notice on
Adolf Hitler today that ttw RAF
is girding to transfer the air
battle into "German ski-s over
German fields" and that "the
day we can take the offensive
steadily approaches."
This double-barreled warning,
voiced by First Lord of the Ad
miralty A. V. Alexander and
Colonial Secretary Lord Lloyd,
was further emphasized by a
London air ministry statement
declaring:
Bomb Attacks
"Both ends of the Rome-Berlin
axis had a foretaste of the
gathering strength of the royal
air force last night, when the
capital of the German reich and
two of Italy's great industrial
centers were simultaneously
bombed by aircraft-of the bomb
er command." ; .
j The air ministry also report
ed that RAF raiders slashed at
Germany's big naval docks at
Hamburg and Wilhelmshavun
and a large warship "is believed
to have been hit." .
Bsrlin Raided
Other RAF bombers attacked
Berlin, the groat Krupp arma
ment works at Essen, oil refin
eries and other military objec
tives. Lord Beaverbrook, minister of
aircraft production, disclosed
that England now has more
planes than ever before, but ha
said he would not be satisfied
until "the sky is swarming" with
them.
Berlin reported many civil
ians killed and wounded as Brit
ish warplanes, striking in sev
eral waves, destroyed an apart
ment building in west Berlin
and showered incendiaries and
high-explosive bombs on the
German capital.
It was Berlin's first air-raid
in five nights.
The Germans asserted that
their bombing squadrons had
dropped 500 tons of bombs on
Britain in one 24-hour period
over the weekend. '
Rome reported eight killed,
15 wounded by British raiders
attacking cities in north Italy
for the first time since early
September.
Authorized nazis ' protested
that the night raid on Berlin
was "an outright of terror
against the Berlin population,"
asserting that no military objec
tives were hit and only residen
tial sections were attacked.
