Moscow Raps Bulgaria for Axis Pact
Russia Contradicts Official German Statement in Note
Turkey Prepares for War
Dardanelles Attack Feared as Nazi Units Mass in Bulgaria
ANKARA. March 4—(U.P.) j —The official Ankara radio today warned the Turkish people that they suddenly have been brought “closer to war,” after the reported arrival of German mechanized troops at the Bulgarian-Turk-ish frontier less than 100 miles from the Dardanelles.
The German forces, spearheaded by tanks and motorcycle units, i were said by travellers from Nazi-occupied Bulgaria to have reached the Svilengrad area where they face strong positions of between 300.000 to 500.000 Turkish troops entrenched along the frontier.
Semi-official quarters said that Turkey's two-weeks-old accord of non-aggression with Bulgaria has been "nullified'’ because Bulgaria is now 'only a German province,” and it was intimated that the accord soon would be repudiated to give Turkey complete freedom of action.
TURKS ARE AWAKE
The Ankara radio said that Germany had been unable to invade the British isles ‘ and now wants to attack Britain in a new area.” “The occupation of Bulgaria has

MOSCOW. March 3—— Non-interventionists today blocked the first attempt by the administration to limit senate debate on President Roosevelt's British aid bill but reiterated that they are not filibustering the historic legislation.
The move was made by Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga., of the foreign relations committee, after Sen. Carter Glass, D., Va., had advocated invocation of the senate's most drastic weapon — cloture—to shorten the discussion and after oppositionists had been denounced from the floor as aiding the Axis caused by delaying a final vote.
George’s motion would have lim- | ited each senator to one hour of talk on the bill and 30 minutes on each amendment. Only one vote was needed to defeat it, and it came from Missouri’s stocky Bennett C. Clark who said “the destiny of the American republic is at stake and there should not be a limitation of debate."
NO FILIBUSTER
He protested that there “is no evidence whatever gf a filibuster,” and was joined in this statement by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., generalissimo of opposition forces. The Montanan said that thousands of letters are pouring into the offices of senators urging them to filibuster, and he regarded these pleas as “fully justified.”
“No matter how you sugar-coat or disguise this bill it is still a threat to democracy,” he said. “I intend to fight it ta any way, shape or form that I can. When the American people realize what this bill means, there will be an uprising such as has never been seen before.”
CLOTURE SUGGESTED
There has been no indication that the administration would seek to impose cloture. Passage of such a “gag” requires a two-thirds vote, a maximum of 60 votes for the aid bill and that it could not count on all of them to support cloture.
Glass told reporters that he favored such a restriction because “the talking has gone on too long.”
“Let them try it,” Clark challenged. “They haven’t got the votes—and they know it.”
The polls that revealed the administration's strength on the bill itself also indicate that it has sufficient votes to defeat an amend-men by Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D., La., which would prevent dispatch of United States troops outside the Western Hemisphere. Ellender, who is a supporter of the bill, believes his proposal will be adopted and so do the oppositionist leaders. All concede the vote will be close.
Senator Carter Glass — favors shortened debate.

Nazis Blast Town in Wales
LONDON. March 4 — OLE) — Streams of German raiders, following the regular “fire-blitz” pattern that reduced Coventry to smoking ruins, last night rained “thousands” of incendiaries on a south Wales coastal town, then blasted it with high explosive while raging fires ate through buildings.
The raid on the south Wales town, where it was believed damage and casualties were considerable, came as Britain and Germany traded powerful aerial blows in a burst of widespread bombing raids so unusual during the winter months that they aroused speculation whether the heralded spring offensive might be taking shape.
Striking in a steady stream, the Nazi night raiders concentrated on the south Wales town. Observers reported the Germans loosed the “greatest quantity of incendiaries the town ever saw.”
First check of the damage revealed that a hospital, several churches, stores in the shopping center, and a charitable institute were hit by bombs while many homes were completely wrecked.
ASSC Drive on Violators Opens Today
Open warfare on “park sharks” who clutter up campus parking lots will begin today as student service and judicial groups unite in the first concerted anti-muddle drive in recent years.
Daily morning and afternoon checks of parking lots will be made by Trojan Knights and Squires who will issue citations to automobiles which “block access to or exit from lots or which unnecessarily hinder the orderly movement of cars on the lots.”
OWNERS TRACED
Names and addresses of registered owners of the cars will be taken by the inspectors and checked with university files to determine identification of the student drivers. License numbers also will be listed and traced with the cooperation of the Automobile Club of southern Califomia.
Student violators of parking restrictions will be summoned before the men’s council and women’s judicial court, disciplinary groups, beginning next week. The extent of punishment will be determined by the organization, with possible suspension from the university as a final course for consistent violators. VIOLATORS PUBLICIZED Names of violators also will be published each day ta the Daily Trojan. Faculty members who receive citations will be referred to the university administration for action.
Citation slips notifying drivers of their offenses will be placed ta cars. Inspection will be concentrated on lots adjacent to Aeneas hall, Science building. Bridge hall and Dentistry, and the Foyer of Town and Gown.
The drive is an outgrowth of sporadic attempts to improve parking conditions ta the university area by minimizing congestion on the lots. Since former efforts by university administrative departments did not achieve desired success, the entire problem last week was turned over to the Associated Students, under the guidance of Leo Adams, assistant general manager of the ASSC.
STUDENTS INFORMED A widespread effort to inform the campus of the drive was begun last night when members of the flying squadron, under the leadership of Paul Barthel, chairman, visited campus fraternities, sororities, and dormitories.
At the direction of a special committee of the student senate. 50 wooden signs stating, “You Gain by an Open Lane,” were posted at the entrances of the lots yesterday by the" operation and maintenance department.
