BERLIN, April 23.--(P)--An arm-

Greece and Greek armies of Epir-
us and Macedonia took effect at 6

man press dispatches from Salon-
ika, Greece, reported.
(By The Associated Press)
ATHENS, April 23 - British and
Greek troops fought desperately and
unequally against the German steam-
roller north of Athens tonight after
the entire 'northwest Greek armies
collapsed and King George II and his
government hastily abandoned Ath-
ens for the Island of Crete.
British and Greek headquarters re-
ported intact their vastly outnum-
bered troops who had been holding
Thermopylae Pass and the Lokris
Mountains 100 miles to the north but
their exact disposition was not re-
vealed. These soldiers apparently had
these choices:
To fight and die on the spot; with-
draw slowly to southern embarka-
tion ports, or retreat into southwest-
ern Greece, the Peloponnesus area.
German Stuka dive-bombers
swa: med over Greek southern ports,
especially concentrating on the near-
by Port of Piraeus. Shipping, docks
and harbor installations were bombed
repeatedly.
King George. and Greek Premier
Emmanuel Stouderos announced to
the people the news of the govern-3
ment's flight to Crete and Greek in-
tention to carry on the struggle "with
all the remaining forces with a view
to securing the supreme national in-
terests."
Capitulation of the Army of Epirus,
which threw the Italians out of,
Greece into Albania last fall, wasj
done without the government's know-k
ledge, the King told the people.
The collapse of that formidable
force, the Greek Premier said, appar-
ently was "precipitated by exhaus-
tion."

Can't Win War
American Interventionists
Are Defeatists, Ex-Flier
Says In N.Y. Speech
Rioting, Picketing
Precede Address
NEW YORK, April 23.-(M)-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh told an Ameri-
ca First Committee rally tonight that
the United States "cannot win this
war for England, regardless of how
much assistance we extend."
Branding American interventionists
as "the real defeatists, for their policy
has led to the defeat of every country
that followed their advice," Lindbergh
dclared in a prepared address that
the .British "hope they may be able
to persuade us to send another ex-
peditionary force to Europe, and to
share with England militarily, as well
as financially, the fiasco of this war."
Fifty detectives, fifty patrolmen,
and fifteen mounted police were as-
signed to the vicinity of Manhattan
center, scene of the rally, following
reports that several organizations,
including the Friends of Democracy,
Inc., the Youth Committee of the
Federal Union, the Student Defend-
ers of America, and some trade union,
planned to picket the meeting.
Despite the heavy police guard, a
flurry of fighting broke out in the
crowd-estimated by police at about
15,000 persons-they surrounded the
building several hours before Lind-
bergh spoke.
Men and women were kicked, beat-
en and felled when a group, resent-
ing the appearance of pickets dis-
tributing handbills and carrying
signs denouncing Lindbergh, rushed
at them, seized their placard sticks
and used them as clubs. The dis-
order was short-lived, ,,however, and
there were no arrests.
After L. M. Birkhead, National
Director of the Friends of Democ-
racy, had charged that the meeting
would be the "largest gathering of
Nazis since the German-American
Bund rallies at Madison Square Gar-
den," Lindbergh declared before his
address that "un-American factions
will not be welcome."
Lindbergh said in a statement that.
"pro-Nazis, pro-Fascists and pro-
Communists or any group favoring
un-American theories are certainly
not for the America First Committee."

Miles OffShr
Commentators Believe - British, Canadian
Ship Patrols Will Be Dispensed With
Naval Quarters Deny Convoy Charges
By J. C. STARK
WASHINGTON, April 23.--(P)-The United States Navy, it was believed
in informed quarters tonight, plans to establish a patrol of the North At-
lantic half-way to Great Britain on the main route of British supply ships.
A statement of Mayor F. H. aGuardia pf New York, chairman of the
joint American-Canadian Defense Board, that the Board had provided'for
the defense of North American waters up to 1,000 miles off the United States
and Canadian coasts, was interpreted here as meaning that British and
Canadian Naval convoys on this side of the Atlantic would largely or entirely
be dispensed with.
The recent acquisition of American defense bases in Greenland and the
decision of the American government to take over the protection of that
Danish colony appear to fit into a general plan to relieve the Brritish ship-
ping emergency.
Mayor LaGuardia's statement, made today during a speech in Ottawa,
was believed here to mean that the United States would establish a naval
and perhaps air patrol of the Atlantic waters extending out to the limits of
the Western Hemisphere, which includes Greenland.
Although this patrol was not expected to be strictly an American convoyl
of British supply ships, it would tend to serve an identical purpose in keeping'
German submarines away from the convoy routes. British naval vessels
could take up the convoy service at a point about midway across the Atlantic.
Naval quarters here, commenting on an interpretation made in Canada
that Mayor La Guardia's statement meant the United States would convoy
British supply ships half-way across
e ' P is nthe Atlantic, said there was "nothing
Men'sPetiions in it."

It was noted, however, that 1,000
miles off the North American con-
tinent was approximately half the
distance between Newfoundland,
where the United States already has
established defense bases, and the
British Isle.
Greenland lies considerably north
of the main convoy route between
Canada and Great Britain but May-
or LaGuardia's declaration that the
waters would be defended 1,000 miles
off the North American shores still
would allow for naval projection
about half-way to Great Britain from
Halifax, where most of the convoys
for Britain are made up on, this side
of the Atlantic.
Mayor LaGuardia was believed to
have spoken for President Roosevelt
in making the announcement in Can-
ada today. The Mayor is chairman of
the joint defense board.
