DTH Always Gets The Bird Moral: It Pays To Advertise The Daily Tar Heel once again. has proved itself one of the most pow erful editorial forces in the nation. Barney Conrad lost his pet parrot, Be'nito Juarez, at 1 o'clock Wednes day morning about 10 minutes before his cue in Tuesday's rehearsal of "Standing Room Only.". It flew first to the top of Memorial hall and refus ed to come down despite all entreat ies. Since he didn't want to ruin his "Glamor Gal" costume, Barnaby strip ped to essentials and scrambled . out a window onto the; roof. With auto mobile spotlights playing on the win try scene, Conrad wandered about the roof in his underdrawers wailing se ductively, "Benito, Benito." Benito was! nowhere to be found and after a frigid hour's search the chase was abandoned till daylight, when "Pokey" Alexander and Conrad resumed the search. - Bute A cinon Garland and Britt announced a month ago that they agreed with their predecessors and would get to gether to work out a suitable plan.

Why hadn't he thought of it before? With trembling hands he inserted an ad, in the classified section and went home to await the results he knew would follow. ;-- Sure enough, a few hours later, the phone rang. It was G. C. McCIure, as sistant news editor of the DTH itself, reporting that discriminating Benito had flown out of a tree near the Uni versity Dining hall and had picked his shoulder out of the many on which to settle his weather-beaten fuselage! . As the bird lovingly tore a hunk out of his master's ear, Conrad said happily, "I'm-going to teach him to say, 'Send the Daily Tar Heel home."' He also unfolded a plan to breed Benito with a female pigeon so that the offspring would be able to deliver verbal messages.

An imminent Balkan explosion threatened tonight with reports of massive Nazi troop movements up to Bulgaria's frontier, with Rumanian and British asser tions that joint Anglo-Turkish action against Germany has become "a dis tinct possibility." The Bulgarian capital of Sofia was said in press reports reaching Lon don to be completely encircled with troops on advice of military leaders, and for 24 hours until 6:45 pan. to day was cut off from all communica tions with the outside world. Britain is on the verge of break ing off diplomatic relations with Bul garia perhaps within a matter of hours after the warlike warning is sued by George Rendel, British min ister in Sofia, Thursday night, it was indicated in authoritative quarters. Britain is prepared to act with lightning speed against Germany in either Rumania or Bulgaria, these quarters intimated, because her po sition has been vastly strengthened by the "splendid results" of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's consulta tions in Ankara with Turkish lead ers. Ankara advices led to optimistic belief in high quarters that Britain and Turkey have strengthened their military alliance along broad lines of policy, leaving to the two general staffs to evolve detailed plans for, all likely contingencies, including a Ger man swoop across the Balkans against either Greece or the Dardanelles. The Turkish radio brought word to London tonight of a communique issu ed in Ankara at the conclusion of Eden's stalks there saying that "there is complete accord on the policies of the two governments on all subjects." These subjects, it was made clear, included the German threats in the Balkans. Turkish Foreign Minister Attributed With Threats ATHENS, March 1 (Saturday) Turkey has announced that she will go to war against Germany if Nazi troops strike across the Balkans from Greece, according to an unconfirm ed report reaching Athens from An kara early today.
