England Rushes Air Aid
To Greece Against
Nazi Invasion
BV ASSOCIATED PRESS
Columns of German motorized
troops, many miles long, were re-
ported rolling south through Ru-
mania toward the Danube river
frontier with Bulgaria today as
Britain sped aerial reinforcements
to Greece against an expected Nazi
invasion of that kingdom.
Bulgaria would provide a logical
gateway for a flanking attack on
Greece, probably striking at the
port of Salonika.
In Washington, Senator Walter
P. George (Democrat, Georgia),
chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, an intimate
frlepd of Secretary Cordell Hull,
declared:
“Germany is preparing to move
very fast. I think there will be
tremendous developments within
the next 10 days.’’
Military dispatohes reaching Bel-
grade said the mass movement of
German troops southward was ac-
companied by the shifting of gen-
eral staff headquarters of the Ger-
man Balkan army from Bucharest
to Craiova. 40 miles from the
Danube.
Eden Goes To Egypt
Bulgarian police were reported
to have fought "Communist dem-
onstrations" against the expected
entry of Nazi troops Into Bulgaria.
Attention focused on the arri-
val In Egypt of Britain’s foreign
secretary. Anthony Eden, and chief
of the imperial general staff. Gen-
eral Sir John Dill.
It was recalled that Eden's last
visit to the middle east was fol-
lowed by a lightning British of-
fensive in North Africa, and spec-
ulation arose that Eden and Dill
may divert some of Britain's North
African troops to support Greece
against a Nazi invasion.
New reserves of United Statcs-
built bombers and fighting planes
were said to have enabled Britain
to rusty aerial reinforcements to
Greece as well as to Africa and
to Singapore in the far east.

Orient underwent a new tremor as

The new soldier of today doesn't look much like George Washington did. but he has the same goal:

Supplemental Request Of

Proposed
The Major, Mind You, Is
Meaning Nothing Unkind!
Americans, He Says, “Are Snakes Placing Snake
Eggs In Dove’s Nest”
Just as many American boys are leaving home
for the army these days, George Washington de-
parted the big estate on the Potomac when he was
21 and turned to the service of his country.
His first commission was that of a major, but a
major’s rank didn’t carry the weight it does now. His
first assignment by Governor Dinwiddle was to go
from Virginia into the Ohio valley to warn the
French against encroaching on British land. The
journey took nearly three months. On the way
home, an Indian shot at Washington point-blank at
15 paces, but missed. Later the young soldier was
dumped into the ice-filled Allegheny, saved himself
only by clutching at one of the logs of his raft. Gov-
ernor Dinwiddie made him a lieutenant colonel, sent
him into Pennsylvania as one of the leaders of a
small command. Washington successfully attacked
the French at Fort Duquesne, but was forced to sur-
render when the entire French force stormed his lit-
tle fortress. That was his only capitulation. He was
hailed when he returned to Virginia, and Governor
Dinwiddie made him a colonel. But if titles were
free in those days, money wasn’t, and Washington
resigned. Later he returned to arms under General
Braddock and was by his side when the Virginians
were ambushed and bloodily defeated. In that battle,
two horses were shot from under Washington,
and his clothes were cut by four bullets, but he was
not injured. Washington once wrote his brother: "I
have heard the bullets whistle; and believe me, there
is something charming in the sound."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21—<U.R)—
President Roosevelt is expected to
send to congress within a few days
a $2,500,000,000 supplemental re-
quest for approximately 15,000
more army planes and expansion
of munitions plants.
Added to the present 25.000-
plane program, the new request
would make a total of 40.000 army
planes on order. How many of
these may be destined for Great
Britain under the lend-lease pro-
gram remains to be seen.
Congressional quarters said to-
day they understood the budget
bureau had approved the request
which would . call for $761.000,000
for new arms plants and approxi-
mately $1,800,000,000 for the pur-
chase of additional planes, includ-
ing thousands of all types of
bombers. The money for the planes
is expected to be about evenly di-
vided between outright appropria-
tions and contractual authority.
Mid-Western Plants Affected
The request was understood to
include funds for about 3,600 heavy
and medium bombers to be as-
sembled at four mid-western plants
from parts made by automobile
manufacturers. That plane con-
struction program was announced
Wednesday by William S. Knud-
sen, director of the office of pro-
duction management.
The plants, located at Omaha,
Neb. Kansas City, Kan., Tulsa,
Okla., and Fort Worth, Tex., will
be. operated by Glenn L. Martin
company. North American Aviation
corporation, Douglas Aircraft com-
pany and Consolidated Aircraft
corporation, respectively.
The new money also is expected
to provide about 6,000 trainers
and between 5,000 and 6.000 other
combat ships of all types.
Experts said that $761,000,000
\&ftilct go into about 15 more muni-
tions plants, principally for smoke-
less powder, TNT and small arms
ammunition in an effort to build

SHANCHAI. Feb. 21 —(U.R)—
British and Americans are "snakes
placing snake eggs in a dove’s
nest," Major Kunlo Akivama, Jap-
anese army spokesman, said at
a press conference todav. His in-
terpreter added that "Major Aki-
yama does not mean anything un-
kind when he calls Britons and
Americans snakes."
Japan, Akiyama said, would like
to have a dove of peace descend
upon her. But, he added, the
snakes' eggs placed by Britain
and the United States include
fortification of Singapore and
Guam and the arrival of Aus-
tralian reinforcements in Malaya.
Britain and the United States
are making an effort to "impose
the status quo upon Japan" while
being guilty of having been the
first to disturb the status quo in
the Pacific, Akiyama said.
Britain made her "guilty" move
when she abrogated the Anglo-
Japanese alliance, said the spokes-
man. The United States broke the
status quo when it abrogated
the Japanese-American commer-
cial treaty.
“Japan always has been victim-
ized by Britain and the United
States," said Akiyama.

the ocean whereas in the western
Pacific (Japan's side) everyone is
crying for peace."
Akiyama was asked whether I Three Changes In Consti-
Japan had taken or was planning
counter measures against the ar-
rival of Australian troops at Sing-
apore.
“Not so far as the Japanese
army is concerned,” he said.
A spokesman for tire navy de-
clined to comment when asked
whether the Japanese navy had
taken any steps to counteract
British measures at Singapore and
in Malaya.
Akiyama referred to an interview
in which Henry Ford was alleged
to have advocated that the United
States furnish both Britain and
Germany with munitions with
which to destroy each other.
"It seems that Ford’s' words not
only betray his own psychology but
also the Roosevelt policy, namely,
that the United States is aiding
Britain so that she may fight to
the end in Europe and is aiding
Chungking so that she also will
be able to fight to the last," he
said.
"To our regret this is quite con-
trary to Japan's attitude, which
was manifested when Japan of-
tution Will Be Placed

"All talk of war in the Pacific fered to mediate between Thiland
is centered on the eastern side of and French Indo-China."

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 21—(/P)
—The legislature took final ac-
tion on two constitutional amend-
ment proposals today, assuring
them a place on the Mar. 11 spe-
cial election ballot.
One would take the $30-a-month
limit off old age pensions and
permit the state to conform with
changes in assistance laws which
may be enacted by the federal
government.
The other would establish a co-
ordinating board of control for
state institutions of higher learn-
ing.
Thus three changes in the con-
stitution will be before the people.
The third resolution was perfected
earlier in the session. It is the
compulsory budget-balancing pro-
posal of Governor Leon Phillips.
House Acts Quickly
The house acted immediately
after the senate had passed the
two resolutions today. It passed
the college board proposal 100 to
9 and the pension change unan-
imously without debate.
The senate voted 40 to 1 to
adopt the coordinating board act
with the administration firmly in
control. It made no change in
the bill.
Beating back an attempt by
Senator John McKeel of Ada to
strike a section giving the mine-
member board powers over in-
stitutions' budgets, the upper cham-
ber thus sent it back to the house
in its original form to make a
conference unnecessary.
In order to get the question on
the special election ballot Mar. 11
it was necessary for the amend-
ment to clear both houses today.
Broad Powers Cited
"Five men on the board," Mc-
Keel charged, “would have the
power to allocate all the legisla-
ture's appropriations to one insti-
tution if they wanted to. It takes
over the powers and duties of the
legislature."
Tire section which McKeel sought
to strike provides that the legis-
lature shall appropriate one lump
sum for all the institutions and
the coordinating board will make
allocations to each.
“You can read this amendment
from the first letter to the last,"
said Senator James Nance of Pur-
cell. “and you can't find any au-
thority to abolish a single institu-
tion."
Nance argued that if the board
was not given "control of the purse
strings” then it would have no
power to enforce orders eliminat-
ing needless duplications in cur-
ricula.
