THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. ORE. March 18, 1941 rPAGE TWO BRITISHSA1D LANDED NEAR (Continued From Page One) ne avenue for n expected German invasion of Greece. Usually reliable quarters in Belgrade aald. however, that Germany would be asked to grant a transition period for Yugoslavia so that she might ad here to the axis without internal discord. Bombing Reported German warplanes were said to have already begun bombing Greek towns from bases in Bul garia as Adolf Hitler completed the massing of 500.000 troops on I the frontiers of Greece ana Tur key. Great Britain, meanwhile, challenged France's threat to convoy her merchantmen with surviving units of the French fleet Reports from Algeciras, Spain, said British warships bad intercepted another French freighter and had taken it into Gibraltar harbor. Yugoslavia's reported capitula tion to Germany came as all signs pointed to an imminent "zero hour" in the Balkan crisis. These included: 1. The steady southward move ment of nari troops through Bul garia, under way for 10 days, suddenly dwindled to a trickle. 2. German staff officers were reported to have disappeared from Sofia, the Bulgarian capi tal, and headed for field head quarters at Plovdiva. 40 miles from the Greek border, 80 miles from Turkey. 3. Thousands of German and Bulgarian warplanes were placed for action, including siren screammg nazi bombers exploit ed with terrorizing effect in western Europe last spring. Soviet Speaks British sources at Istanbul quoted a Greek army officer as saying German planes had raid ed the town of Oede Agach In Grecian Thrace likely striking point of a German attack. Belgrade dispatches said Rus sia had promised Turkey she has nothing to fear from soviet red armies massed along the Danube, if she decides to fight on Greece's side. The Yugoslavian crown coun cil was understood to have de cided to present for German ap proval the following proposals: (1) Yugoslavia to sign some sort '-of friendship declaration with Germany before signing the axis pact. (2) Then the two governments would' discuss demobilization of the Yugoslav army as demanded by Germany, a "guarantee that this country will not make any military moves," and Germany's demand for passage of troops through the southeast corner of Yugoslavia into Greece. One neutral diplomat who has followed the diplomatic Jockey ing for weeks said that the gov ernment was inclined to give in on the demobilization plan, but that the army leaders still were arguing against it. The Yugoslav proposals were in response to what this source said were five major German demands, namely: (1) Demobilization of the Yugoslav army. (2) Complete German control of economy, transport and com manications. (3) The right to ship war ma terial through Yugoslavia, re serving Rumania and Bulgaria for the transport of men. (4) The right to pass troops through Yugoslavia if necessary. (5) Signature of Yugoslavia to the tripartite pact.

HOUSE DELAYS TAX ON SALES Fl (Continued from Page One) measure back to the taxation and revenue committee so that a clause referring the bill to the people may be attached. The committee early this afternoon sent the bill back to the house with the referendum clause attached. The bill originally contained the referendum clause, but the committee removed it so that It would provide Immediate funds for old age pensions. S8.000.000 Yearly Rep. Frank J. Lonergan (R Multnomah), author of the bill, indicated he believed the bill would have a better chance of passage if the referendum clause were attached. The measure would raise S8, 000.000 a year, with 50 per cent to be used for property tax re lief, 40 per cent for pensions, and 10 per cent for elementary schools. The delay probably will post pone adjournment of the session until the end of the week. Cigarette Tax House leaders hope to consid er the sales tax tomorrow, along with a bill to levy two cents on each package of cigarettes, which would raise about $2. 000.000 a year for pensions.

The bill, which included the 55-milc limit when passed by the senate, will be on tomorrow's house calen dar. The limit now is 45 miles i an hour. (Continued From Page One) States have, in effect, written a new magna carta which not only has regard to the rights and laws upon which a healthy and advancing civilization can alone be erected but also pro claims by precept and example the duty of free men and free nations, wherecver they may be, to share the responsibility and burden of enforcing them."

Hill llrlntfN iVaxl Tlirenfen tireeil Charged BERLIN, March 13 M" The official German attltudo toward the United States aid-to-llrltaiu bill, a nail spokesman said today. may be summed up with tho words: "We are not surprised, but are prepared for anything," More solemn than usual, the spokesman declared: "Mr. Roosevelt la an unpre dictable man. Let him send one convoy and . . ." The sentence whs left hanging. "We are determined to torpedo everything that approaches Eng land," the spokesman went on after a pause. "We will see. We are ready for anything, come what may . . , "As a matter of fact the law's alms have been In operation a long time. They (the British) got 50 destroyers, but the fact re mains that needed materials have not arrived In desired vol ume and we will see they do not do so hereafter." The German radio declared 'the tense-lend bill was rushed through tlie congress merely to make a showing of honesty, whereas in reality the United States government Is intent only upon the speediest acquisition of a maximum number of British possessions." "The United Stales will ap pear to help England all she can." the radio continued. "But in reality she will endeavor to Induce Germany to agree to a negotiated peace. After tho signing of such a negotiated peace the USA then hopes to take over the Inheritance of the remains of the British empire. "However, the one big fly in the American ointment Is the fact that Germany nover will acquiesco to any negotiation pro- ) posals. Winners do not negoti ate. They dictate, and the soon er the hypocritical American government realties this fart, the better off she will be." In Its history, the United States has paid $102,200,000 to six foreign governments for ter ritory purchased. NOW PLAYING ENDS SATURDAY NITE fHE DOUBLE HIT SENSATION! 2 FEATURES and WHAT A SHOW!
