Axis ApprehensiveiAllies May A Already Have Men And Boats Ready For Blow.

i (By James M. Long. Associated Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, May ~i—-tAPl--The Nazis acknowledged today that the nlln prospect of an Alllcd invasion of Europe is so imminent it might III-pass the Tunisian bridgehead and come in the form of an amphibious assault on the Sardinian and Sicilian steppin -etones, even before the

Wilwse of Tunis and Bizerte.

Broadcasts by the Vichy radio and the chief military commentator of the Berlin radio suggested hastily mounting Axis apprehension that the Allies already may have men and boats for the blow, against which Mussolini was reported renewing urgent appeals direct to llitler for

llthting assistance.

The Russian front was being watched closely by observers here for a ready clue to the actual weight oi Hitler's fears. The Rus- sian barometer was based on the belief that Hitler hardly would dare to attempt the usual full- scale spring onslaught on the eastern front if faced with the imminent menace of a British- Amcrlcan invasion.

With the Vichy radio adding daily to its reports oi recent con- centrations of Allied invasion- t pe barge fleets at Gibraltar and tlle Algerian coast, the Berlin com- mentator, Capt. Ludwig Sertorltts. evidenced Nazi worry over the preparations being made by the U.S. 5th Army apart from the 'i‘unlsia.n action.

Jhereiure the question must be asked whether the Aillau High Command is keeping the bulk of its army reserves in isle. in the western region because it ts plmming a landing manoeuvre on s. largo scale."

southern Europe affords "particul-

Bcrwrlus disclosed that Ger- man submarine packs in the Mod- lwrranean .had lost 50 r Ctnt of their effectiveness in prll be- cause of unfavorable weather. The U-boet problem, considered a seri- ous stumbling block to vasion. was given priority in the plans formulated at the Casablanca con- ference.

Strong Nazi Naval Forces At Narvilt?

LONDON. May 4 — (C?) _ Unofficial naval observers ex- pressed the beilcf today that the German battleship Tirpits and other naval forces now are at Narvlk in Northern Norway and that their presence there has resulted in a temporary interruption to Allied convoys to Murmansk, Russia.

Admiralty sources declined to discuss the whereabouts of Germany's small but dangerous surface fleet, but observers, g

u- ing on various signs, said t ey believed the Nazis‘ only lg modern battleship had slipped out of the southern Fjords to the northern base.

it was possible. observers said, that the Tirplts was attended by one of the smaller battle- ships. Scharnhorst or Gnelse- nau. some of the flipper class eight inch gun cruisers and Nurenber , six-inch gun cruis- ers and estroyers.

Since a task force of this sire might wipe out a convoy in short order, they said it was

osslble Allied convoys would
