Approach Showdown In Balkans
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press News Editor
A military showdown in the Balkans appeared to be approaching today, although the time and place of the expected Axis blow still was in doubt.
The air war between Britain and Germany raged on without pause.
Germany was massing huge quantities of war materials in Rumania but continued to insist that suggestions of it drive toward Turkey were British propaganda.
However, Russian sources in Rumania exhibited nervousness over the acceleration of Nazi moves in that country. Great tows of barges were reported moving down the
Danube, bringing German troops with full war equipment toward Rumania and the Black Sea. Soviet Forces Dig In
Reports from Russian - occupied Bessarabia said that Soviet forces were digging in defensively along the Rumanian border. There was no word of Russian troop movements.
Germany was said to have sent $82,500,000 worth of arms and munitions into Rumania, representing an amount equal to one-fourth of the Rumanian national budget.
British diplomats, burning their confidential papers and preparing to leave at any moment, still remained in Bucharest. London reported great difficulty in communicating with the Bucharest legation and there were hints that Rumania, possibly at German instigation, was hindering communications.
To the north Budapest reported that deliberations of the Rumanian-Hungarian commission over questions arising from the Transylvania cession had been broken off. Nazis Claim Severe Attack
Berlin claimed that the "greatest attack of the war" had been delivered against London during the
night but there was nothing in the reports from London to support belief that the raids had been more severe than usual.
According to the German account nearly 500,000 pounds of bombs were hurled on London in the course of a great offensive against Britain that reached from the Thames estuary to the Scottish border and included assaults on Liverpool and northeast cities.
London reported that German planes dived in to attack London from many directions but that the raid was cut off about two hours short of the usual time spent by German planes over the metropolis
More than 40 high explosive and many incendiary bombs dropped on Liverpool, it was said, and the sea front of a coastal town was machine-gunned. During the morning a dive-bombing attack was made on a famous English cathedral town and some damage was done to stained-glass windows of the cathedral. Two persons were killed and about 12 wounded.
Earth has approximately 139,440- 000 square miles of water and 57,- 510, 000 square miles of land.

"Yes, sir, the slower-burning cigarette is aces with me. I like all those extras in Camels, including the extra smoking"
STRATOSPHERE PIONEER "TOMMY" TOMLINSON, VICE-PRESIDENT and CHIEF ENGINEER of TWA
He outflew the weather for Extra Speed
- In this "flying test tube," above, "Tommy" Tomlinson pioneered the newest wonder of modern air travel—the Stratoliner. In rain, snow, hail, and sleet, this veteran flyer "asked for trouble" to prove that high-altitude planes can fly over most bad weather.
Skill, vision, perseverance..."Tommy" Tomlinson has them all-in extra measure. Mildness, coolness, flavor-the qualities of a fine cigarette-he gets them all in his smoking, with an extra measure of each. He smokes slow-burning Camels.
He turned to Camels for Extra Mildness
- Twenty years — 7,000 hours of flying — more hours above 30,000 feet than any other flyer. 19 national records for speed and endurance. That's the flying log of "Tommy" Tomlinson (above). His smoking log would read: "I wanted more mildness in my cigarette. I changed to Camels and got what I wanted—extra mildness with a grand flavor."
Slower-burning Camels give you the natural mildness and coolness of costlier tobaccos plus the freedom from excess heat and irritating qualities of too-fast burning. Try Camels. Get the extras—including extra smoking (see right).
EXTRA MILDNESS EXTRA COOLNESS EXTRA FLAVOR

In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned $ 25 \% $ slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested—slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to
