(AP) Secret movements of United States naval forces in the Eastern Caribbean area stirred considerable interest here last night. Warships and planes appeared to be gathering in the area ot French possessions at the eastern end of the Caribbean but there was no explanation in official quarters.

The entire neutrality patrol fleet from Key West, was at sea on a secret mission; air reinforcements arrived at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and an undetermined number of warships was observed off San Juan steaming east into the Atlantic Friday. Speculate on Occupation Speculation in unofficial quarters centered on two possible explanations: 1. That the naval forces were being concentrated near the French islands of Martinique and Guad-aloupo and French Guiana, on the South American mainland, in readiness to occupy them immediately in the event the Vichy government's collaboration with Germany and Italy was considered an impairment of French sovereignty over parts of the colonial empire. 2. That the neutrality patrol was taking increased precautions against possible Axis sea raiding operations in southern waters, either in the South Atlantic or the Caribbean approach to the a a Canal.

Greeks Bombing Air Bases, British Report London, England (Saturday) (AP) Exchange Telegraph, British news agency, reported from Athens early today that Greek planes had dropped three tons of bombs on two Italian airdromes at Koritza, Albania, Friday. One airfield was destroved, it said, and the other damaged. Returning to their base, the Greek planes fired on a column of Italian motorcyclists and dis persed them, the agency said.

Italy Presses Egypt Campaign Cairo, Egypt (AP) Italy's long-stalled invasion of 1 'entire ticket, national, state and county, in the election Tuesday. Historically Republican until 1932, Coles' voters have given the Democrats stronger suppoft in elections from 1932 on.

On the national ticket in 1936, the Democrats received a plurality of 3,131 votes in Coles county, and in the senatorial race in 1938, clung to a' slim margin, giving Scott W. Lucas a 178 vote advantage over his Republican opponent, Richard Lyons. In the gubernatorial race in Henry Horner gained a Coles county plurality of 2,893 votes over C. Wayland Brooks. In 1938, although the' Democrats held a slight edge on the state candidates, Coles county voted Republicans to the three major county offices up for election at the time.

The offices of sheriff, county clerk and county treasurer were given to Republicans. Outccme Uncertain The county may turn either way in this election, according to impartial observers. Democrats hold only a slight advantage, if any, according to wagers being made on the county vote. William H. Wheat, 19th district representative in Congress, seeking his second term on the Republican ticket, faces Alfred D.

Huston, University of Illinois faculty member, running his first race. In the 34th senatorial district, Democrat Melvin Thomas of Charleston, incumbent, is seeking his second term. He faces Robert W. Lyons of Oakland, former township supervisor. Representative Race Close The race for state representative is heated, with two veteran Democratic politicians running against a return candidate and a newcomer Dr.

Raymond Gillogly, incumbent representative, and John W. Lewis, of Marshall, son of a former state representative but never in politics before himself, are the Republican candidates. J. M. Turner, after his fourth term, and Munday, who served a term as state senator, but was defeated for representative in the last election, are the Democratic choices.

Races for all county offices are close. Democrat Richard Record, serving as circuit clerk by appointment after the death of Henry Shaw several years ago, is running against Jack Bisson, a young Charleston accountant in politics for the first time. Fletcher Seeks' Re-Election Veteran Republican Charles H. Fletcher of Mattoon is seeking to be re-elected to the states attorney's office which he held for two terms prior to 1932. Against Fletcher is W.

K. Kidwell. a Malttoon attorney and once city collector. Both candidates for coroner ars making their first bid for office. Dr.

John R. Alexander of Charleston is running on the Republican ticket against Horace V. Clark, young Charleston undertaker. Laval Backed by Cabinet On Axis 'Collaboration' Vichy, France (AP) Vice Premier Pierre Laval returned Friday from another series of discussions with German officials in occupied France and received approval from the Vichy cabinet with "confident unanimit'." A communique said the whole cabinet was behind Laval and Chief of State Marshal Philippe Petain in their efforts to settle details of France's "collaboration" with the Axis. Petain has indicated hope that final settlement will mean freedom for France's war prisoners.

It was believed, however, that this would call for less secrecy than has been observed in connection with the present naval movements. French assurances that the negotiations with the Axis powers had not involved use of strategic bases or otherwise impaired France's sovereignty over its colonial empire appeared to have been received with some reserve here pending a more complete explanation of the Vichy government's collaboration with Germany and Italy.

Freighter Arouses Interest Apart from the French possessions in this hemisphere, officials were interested in Dakar, in French West Africa the nearest African point to South America. The sudden departure of the German freighter Helgoland from Barranquila, Colombia, three days ago without clearance papers also aroused interest among officials here. The ship, which had been anchored there since the beginning of the war, was reported to have hd aboard several German airplane pilots of the German commercial airline in South America, the Scndta.
