BERLIN April 24 --<CP) - The German high command clatmcd- w- day that at Thermopylae, historic" ‘pass some 100 miles north of Athens “we succeeded in breaking into no- sitions which were suited in espec- ially favorable terraln," thus fail- ing to back up Nazi claims made Wednesday that British forces there had been "annihilated" and that the road to the Greek capital was open.

A command bulletin claimed that 30 British tanks were taken be- tween Lanna and Larisa, north of the pass. 11ml D. N. B.. the Ger- man news and propaganda agency, claimed that at one large British camp hundreds of tanks and mum-

guns had been captured. as well as several thousand British soldiers.

(These claims remained without confirmation in Cairo, Athens c;- London.)

Responsible quarters fn Berlin claimed "the Greek incident" was liquidated and the impression pre- vailed that neither the Greek nor the British troops would offer op- position on the peninsula of Pelop- hcnnesus, below Athens, if the Nazis break through.

Germany and Italy probably will be warned to keep their submarines and surface warships out of _ e area or run the risk of combat with the patrol ships. ~

The plan, it was emphasized, does not mean American convoys for trans-Atlantic shipping. It simply means a neutrality or safety zone reaching half-way across the At- lantic, an extension of the general policy of hemisphere defence.

But. it should prove invaluable for the hard-pressed British and Cana- dlan navles, relieving them of some of their escort. duties on this side of the Atlantic and permitting i-hern to concentrate on the danger zone on the other side.

All official circles, including Stev-

These advantages were seen for Canada and Britain in the Atlantic patrols:-
