LONDON, June l8 (APi-Re- opening of the Turkish-S rian fron- tier and Axis reports o large Al~ lied troop concentrations in Syria boosted enemy worry today over the shaky “southeastern wall" in the Balkans, where the Germans were said to have sent strong re- inforcements.

And as the Axis was kept guess- ing where the invasion blow might. fall. one possible barometer of Italian nervousness came in a Reu- ters News Agency report that a rumor of Allied invasion of Sicily had surged through the town of Tolmino in northern Italy; with the garrison dashing into tho streets “to welcome the end of the war."

The Turkish-Syrian border was re-opened at fl a.m. Thursday after a 48-hour news blackout, but the Rome radio declared that British authorities still were keeping seni- ed a 62-mile stretch in northern Syria and the Lebanon coastal area, designating it a military area closed to civilians.

Rome reported the Allied troop concentrations in Syria. In Ankara, a British source said the frontier had been closed to guard Allied troop movements from Axis agents. Officers in the border area. however, said the closure might have had some connection with the King's visit to North Africa.

The Germans have sent strong reinforcements to the Balkans, said a Stockholm report to Reuters, and Rome warned the Allies that “the Bulgarian high command begun to examine the possibilities of an Allied landing on the Balkan coast near the end of the Tunisian cam- paign." and was ready for “any eventuality."

The German radio, quoting Swe- dish correspondents, said military experts in London believed the “probability” of an Allied offensive in the Eastern Mediterranean was "even more imminent," with all the signs "now pointing to a coming Balkan offensive to be ushered m by attempts to conquer Crete and the Dodecanese."

The Germans clamped tight the lid on Greece. The Morocco radio reported from Istanbul that ma- chine-gun nests had been con‘ structed everv few miles on the Athenssalonika railway. and .hat armed patrols constantly guarded the line. A strict curfew was said

Allied Secret g A wearun “Praised

WASHINGTON, June l8 — (AP) - The most publicized secret weap- on oi the war . - made possible the successful American landing on Attu in (he Aleutians, the Congress lcarned today.

Maj. Gen. Dawson Olmstead of the United Stgics Signal Corps told the House of Representatives App- roprlatlons Committee:-

"lh the battle of Attu in Alaska,_ when our forces arrived and wan-l ted to get men ashore in small boats. the weather made visibility so bad that the water could not be‘ seen from the du: of a ship, The ships were berthed and the menl landed by the use oi radar." I

Radar, developed in Britain. is a‘ radio device used for detection oi ships. planes or other objects ob- scured irom vision. It played a stell- ar part in the battle of Britain by detecting the approach of German planes.

It was by Radar, olznsread said, the Japanese planes approaching Pearl Harbour Dec. 7. 1941 were de- tected while 132 miles off shore. (However, the detection was not officially reported at the time.)

More research was needed before hemp production could be under- taken on a commercial scale.

In connection with oil plants the department was seeking a greater use oi wilt-resistant flax varieties.

War Situation Last Night By Glenn Babb, Associated Press Analyst

The sweeping changes in the setup of British rule in India have tremendous importance for the whole war effort of the United Nations. It means that the herculean task of Japan's defeat ls to be approached with a. new directness and energy. Its immediate significance is that it is designed to free Allied sirlkln power in the Asiatic-Pacific theatre from the deadening, shackllug e iect o! India's ceaseless political tur- mo

But the most important ppointmcnt of all is still h be disclosed. "It is proposed,” said the announcement, "to relieve the commander-in- chief in India of responsibility for the conduct of operations against Jap- an and to set up a separate East Asia command for that purpose. Fur- ther announcement on this subject will be mode soon."

The selection of a man for this command and the definition of his mission may well prove one of the most important decisions of the war- lt will involve the strategy and means by which the Allies hope to en- compass the destruction of Japan and will go far toward determining how long the job will take.

What ls the East Asia command to be? will it be limited to those grlilshqand Indian forces assigned to the promised campaign to recover

urma.

Possibly it will not be so restricted. or, If it ls, that. it will be part of a. much larger AmericanJirltlsh-Chincse-Dutch alignment working in co-ordlnation at the ob of knocking the Japanese out of southwestern Asia and the Island mplre that fringes it. This will be a task of hem- ispheric proportions. one to which far the greater port of the military power of the United States may be committed before it is done.

The attack from India and the Bay of Bengal probably will be only the western arm of a vast pinccrs designed to slash across Julian's new Empire at the waist. The advance across Burma. will more than a drive to reopen the Burma Road for aid to China. It. should establish the avenue by which great Allied armies can reach the eastern shores of Asia for the final assault on Japan herself.

LONDON. June 19—(MondaY1—\ (AP) _- Great Britain appointed Field Marshal Sir Archibald P , Wavell. commander-in-chlef in 1n-' dia, as Viceroy of India today, and announced the intention to create a separate East Asia military com- mand to wage an offensive against

Cien. Sir Claude Auchinleck was appointed to succeed Waveil as commander in India. The separate command decision is presumably one of the magror products of the Washington s ategy conferences between Prime Minister Churchi and President Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, June 18- (CP) — The appointment of Field Marshal Sir Archibald P. Wavell as vlceroy of India was regarded here tonight as n forecast of intensified war- fare against the Jlpunese in thejiurma area, probably an sllfmt offensive to reopen the Burma Road at the end of the monsoon season this fall.

The immediate reaction here to the appointment, announced in London tonight, was fav- orable, because lt place in the Vlceroys Palace at New Delhi an acknowledged strategic ex- pert and, perhaps, a. man who might be able to pacify the conflicting and’ divided polit- ical elements o! lndla, thus placing that rich and populous country solidly behind the war efforts of the United Nations as a base for offensive action.
