HUNGARY STARTS NOBILIZING ARMY IN BALKAN HOVE (Continued from Page 1) far the steady surge of Nazi troops would spread. Informed quarters said Bulgaria probably would permit passage of German forces only under protest, recognizing the "futility" of armed resistance, if the Nazis attempted cuch a movement. German troops moving to ald Italy in Albania might go through Bulgaria. King Boris III of Bulgaria was reported Saturday to have informed Hitler on a recent visit in Berlin that he would abdicate before per- mitting German troops through his country. King Boris conferred with Pre- mier Bogdan Philoff yesterday and political circles speculated on the possibility 'of a government crisis. Interior Minister Peter Gabrovsky, former leader of the small Bulgar fan Nazi party, was mentioned as a possible head of a new government should the existing moderate re- gime fall. At Giurgiu, Rumania, across the Danube river from Ruschuk, Bul- garia, German soldiers could be seen arraying equipment, taking up posi- » hold the Nazis in check for a time, even if the German high command should order them into Bulgaria, While most of the Nazi troops rolled straight through Hungary into Rumania, reports circulated that some might remain in Hun- gary, where censorship blotted out many details. Hungarians reported that big guns of the type used in shelling Britain's Dover coast from across the English channel were in- cluded in the German equipment being transported. Bulgaria has withdrawn most of her soldiers from the Greek border and most of some 100,000 Bulgars now under arms are at the Turkish frontier, since Sofia is reported to hold that a 'German march into Bulgaria would be considered a pro- vocative act by Turkey, a British ally, and a step likely to involve Turkey in war, FLEET 81.

(AP)-- Historic Unalaska, oldest port in the territory of Alaska, has been order- ed closed as of Jan. 15, 1941, Col- lector of Customs J. J, Connors re- vealed Saturday.
