FEAR FELT IN YUGOSLAVIA
Italian Military Activity
NAZI TOURISTS EXPELLED
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) LONDON, April 30.
The Zagreb correspondent of the Associated Press of America says that Yugoslavia is alarmed at reports of intensive Italian military activity near the Yugoslav frontier. The virtual suspension of German coal trains to Italy is attributed to heavy military traffic on Italian lines leading to the Yugoslav border.
Railway workers returning from Italy report seeing a trainload of tanks moving up, and also reported that new air raid shelters are being constructed at Fiume and Trieste, where the population is nervous.
The Yugoslav authorities expelled several hundred more German tourists. German concentrations are reported near the frontier.
In a May Day appeal the Communist International warned workers that the war “threatens to spread to the Balkans, the Near East and the Pacific.”
