ported in Berlin was that of Dino Grandi, Italian Minister of Justice and one-time Italian Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Britain.

"He was received by Adolf Hitler at + the Chancellery, but the purpose of

his visit was not revealed.

Italy hailed the adherence of |%

Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia to the Axis, which, Rome pointed out, brought 33,000,000 more men to the side of Germany and Italy.

Rome Claiins Counter-Attacks

Rome said Italians had unleashed a series of counter-attacks on the Greek front which were proving “effective.” Italian planes were said to have bombed the Greek positions, especially along the Epirus coast. On the air front, the Nazis said that several hundred German planes had “Coventrated” Bristol last night, dropping more than 700,000 pounds of explosives and 10,000 incendiary bombs on the British port. It was claimed that 55 large fires were started. British admitted that raiders had blasted ‘for hours during the night at a town in the western Midlands, damaging a school, two churches, a theater, shops and an old people’s home, but claimed revenge in R. A. F. raids over Germany. The principal city in the western midlands is Birmingham.

Hamburg Raided

The British Air Ministry said many tons of high explosive bombs and 2000 incendiaries were dropped on the Blohm-Voss shipyards in Hamburg. Pilots returning to London claimed they observed several fires and explosions despite thick clouds over the city. Other night targets listed were the Altona Gas Works, the Wilhelmshaven docks, the HamburgWilhelmsburg chemical factory, the Boulogne port, the Denhelder dock yard jand various enemy airdromes and seaplane bases. Raids were reported yesterday on the airdrome at Christiansand and

“the harbor at Hook, Holland. The

coastal command and the fleet air arm bombed the docks at Boulogne. Athens newspapers said that fierce tribes of Albanian rebels were harrying the Italian forces as they sought to: establish a new defense line and a British Exchange Telegraph dispatch to London from the Greek capital said the capture of 8000 more Italians had been announced. Italians were believed falling back to the line of the Shkumbi River, just south of Elbasan, which would leave all of south and part of central Albania in Greek:-hands. In the Argyrokastron sector the Greeks were tightening their lines in an effort to pinch off the southwest corner of Albania and with it the port of Porto Edda. Rome admitted British attacks on the port of Du~ razzo and Tobruk, Bardia, Derna and Apollonia in Africa. The Italians replied with raids on Alexandria, Malta and British concen-

‘trations south of Marsa Matruh.

The newspaper of Benito Mussolini in a statement which was said to reflect the new Italian policy of “frankness” praised Britain's resistance against the Axis powers, saying that the British “fleet, Royal Air Force, industry, finande, labor, merchant marine and Government are doing all possible to fulfill their hard tasks.” ;

* British War Costs Rise

The difficulty of these tasks was emphasized by reports from London. Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Kingsley Wood reported that Britain’s war costs now are running at $36,400,000 a day and can be expected to grow more heavy as the war effort increases. - “A mighty effort,” he said, “lies before us and in that effort we must surely conserve and utilize our financial resources to the full.” ‘Reports from the air front indilcated that the Nazis had embarked upon a ruthless campaign to smash,

ing on Southampton and a few days before upon Coventry. Each of these cities has important aircraft factories.

. Nazis Scoff at Britist Clafm

Nazis said docks and other industrial objectives were bombed and they claimed that a large amount of Britain’s imports recently had been landing at Bristol, which also has the Bristol-Blenheim bomber fac-

ry. . Nazis said that in daylight raids yesterday, German planes bomber Gravesend and oil tanks at Portland, as well as several points in London, where fires were set. They admitted that British planes had bombed Hamburg last night, killing several persons but claimed military or industrial damage was small. = Official Berlin circles were indignant over British claims that severe damage had been inflicted in Berlin Saturday night. A party of 60 German and foreign correspondents was taken on a tour to be shown that “not a single bomb feil on Berlin ‘Saturday—not a British plane even reached Berlin.” The party was accompanied by air attaches and members of diplomatic missions.

Hundreds Line Dover Cliffs

At Dover, hundreds lined the cliffs last night to watch British bombers subject German gun emplacements on the French Coast to a ferocious bombing. The attack continued several hours, apparently centering on gun emplacements at Calais, Dunkirk, Boulogne and Cap Gris Nez. Obsarvers believed Boulogne was the main target. Fires started by the bombs were reflected in windows in Kent. Saturday night's raid on Britain had been concentrated on a south coast town. Nazi informants, in Berlin said it was Southampton; that 250 German planes had participated and that 600,000 pounds of explosives and 12,000 incendiary bombs had been dumped over harbor works and warehouses. * William Sheppard, United Press staff correspondent who visited the south coast town yesterday, reported seeing a congregation gather in a partially-wrecked church, visible to passers-by through bomb holes in the walls, in pews littered with debris, to pray for those who had been killed. Four movie theaters in the town were bombed and two were burned, but the audiences escaped. In Berlin, a German pilot who took part in the Southampton raid was quoted that the city was a “single mass of flaming wreckage from which new fountains of fire as big as trees kept shooting up. . .. it, looked as if Southampton had been turned into a great erupting volcano.”

Vichy Protests to Britain

Vichy claimed that British aircraft raided Marseilles Saturday night, killing four and wounding We persons. The British denied the raid. The -Vichy Government announced that no reply had been received from London in response to the Government’s energetic protest and demand for apology and payment of damages. The Government announced that investigation of unexploded bombs proved that they were of British origin. . In:the Far East there was res newed tension between Thailand and French Indo-China.

Japan Calls Naval Reserves

In Shanghai, several hundred Japanese naval reservists, called to the colors during the past week, sailed for Japan. Many political observers believed that it indicated a general mobilization of the entire Japanese naval reserve, since normally reservists in Shanghai would be among the last called up. The departure aroused speculaas to possible failure of Japese negotiations for. a nonaggression pact with Russia. A\well-informed European source at Lashio, Burma, told the United Press that the Japanese Army was ntassing many divisions of troops, including mechanized units and chemical warfare regiments, at Hankow preparatory to a general

POPE GIVES UP HOPE OF MAN-MADE PEAGE

VATICAN CITY, Nov. 25 (U. P.. Pope Pius went into a week's seclusion today to meditate on the evils of war and pray for peace. Yesterday he made his strongest appeal for peace since the start of the conflict. It was in the form of a' 21-minute homily during a mass for war dead in St. Peter’s basilica before 10.000 persons. His voice quivering whenever he mentioned the word war, he made it clear that he had abandoned fiope of a manmade peace and exhorted all to pray to God to intercede. Avoiding partisanship but addressing humanity, the Pope said with tears in his eyes that the destruction and violence of war had increased rather than lessened. It was the 30th time the Pope, through special prayers, homilies, radio addresses and talks during his public audiences, had appealed for peace. Many Vatican quarters sug-

Former May Enter Cabinet; Latter Is Linked to Federal Judiciary.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (U. P.)— Two Hoosiers, both stanch adherents of the New Deal, are reported

cial posts.

Paul V. McNutt, now Federal Security Administrator, is expected to receive a job more in line with his ambitions to be the 1944 Presidential candidate, and Senator Sherman Minton is being mentioned prominently for the judiciary. Political insiders said that the administration has indicated its intention of recognizing the loyalty to President Roosevelt displayed by Mr. McNutt at the Democratic Convention when he withdrew from the vice presidential race in favor of Henry A. Wallace.

Two Jobs Mentioned

Mr. McNutt already has indicated his desire for a Federal job more likely to promote his 1944 aspirations, which were brought out last week by the formation of “McNutt-for-President-in-1944" clubs. Among the jobs mentioned by his political associates as suitable to his needs are the Attorney Generalship and the post of Secretary of War. Political circles believe Attorney General Robert H. Jackson is slated for the first vacancy on the Supreme Court. They also understand Secretary of - War Henry Stimson will step down as soon as he thinks the defense program is far enough along. Mr. McNutt has declined “feelers” for lesser posts because his present job entitles him to sit with the President's cabinet. The administratorship, however, brings him into the public eye less than his political managers feel is necessary for his 1944 candidacy. Political circles also understood that Senator Minton, who was defeated in the recent elections, also would be “taken care of.” Mr. Minton is understood to desire a Supreme Court seat, but probably only accept a District Court judgeship. May Be ‘Contact Man’

Mr. Minton is expected to act as White House “contact man” with the Senate after the expiration of his term in January, until a judicial opening is found. Appointment of Admiral William D. Leahy as Ambassador to France gave rise to reports here that Senator Minton might be named to succeed the admiral as Governor of Puerto Rico.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 256 (U.P.).— The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics today chose Cleveland, O., for its new $8,400,000 airplane engine-research laboratory. The selection was announced by Dr. Vannevar Bush, NACA chairman, who said that bids on constfuction work for the new laboratory will be asked immediately and construction started next month. NACA officials said that the site at the Cleveland Municipal Airport, was recommended by a special com‘mittee after a. thorough study of | the merits of 72 sites offered by 62 cities in all parts of the country.

all three proposals was David Dubinsky, head of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. His union broke from the C. I. O. and returned to the A. F. of L. on the assurances of William Green, president of the A. F. of L., that the council would recommend that the bconvention remove the per capita assessment, which is a method of raising funds to fight the C. I. O. and take from the council the power to suspend recalcitrant unions.

Secrecy Shrouds Compromise

Mr. Tobin’s committe limited the revised per capita tax proposal to one year and Mr. Dubinsky was satisfied. But he protested vigorously against the committee’s plan to let the council keep power to suspend unions engaged in dual unionism and said he would take the issue to the floor. Nor was he satisfied with the compromise antiracketeering resolution but said, with a shrug of his shoulders, that it “is the best I can get now.” An atmosphere of secrecy shrouded the compromise. Mr. Dubinsky’s original proposal would have empowered the executive council to force the removal of union officials convicted of offenses involving moral turpitude. The compromise, it was understood, falls far short of that. It would, it was said, authorize the council tu use its influence to rally public opinion against a racketeering union official, but would not invade the autonomous rights of the international unions. This, one A. PF. of L. authority said, gave the resolution “short teeth.”

delays, the better the Greeks will be prepared to fight on two fronts. As the war in Albania is now developing, the possibility exists that the Italians may be driven to the Adriatic coast, facing another Dunkirk. That seems to be the strategic aim of the Greeks, though success is not yet assured. The outcome may depend on what reinforcements Italy can send to Albania and the strength of the British contingents now appearing for the first time in the Albanian {frontier fighting. The Greek forces pressing onward from Koritza are now reaching the highest parts of the mountainous battlefield and soon may be able to push downward, giving them an important advantage. They are within 35 miles of the strategic town of Elbasan where excellent roads lead to Tirana, the capital of Albania, and Durazzo, Albania’s principal port.
