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.

acre blaze on Toutle river, both
in Cowlitz county. Clark and
Swamania counties reported five

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 senate passed 17 to 11 and
sent to the house a bill to limit
the sale of fortified wines to li
quor stores. Sen. W. E. Burke
(R-Yamhill, author of the bill,
asserting that such wines are
driving many persons insane.
The house passed and sent to
the senate a bill to provide that
old age assistance shall not be
denied to any person because his
children are able to support him,
and that the first $15 of outside
Income shall not be considered
in the granting of pensions.
Speed Law
The house highways commit
tee amended the speed bill, shift
ing the burden of proof from the
officer to the driver, by provid
ing for a 55-mile speed limit, in
stead of 60 miles. 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.

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."
Noisy cheers marked the close

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.
