Even while ithe Italians were retreating, it was reported, the Greeks entered and raised their flag on the postoffice ‘and prefectural buildings. Other border reports said that the Greeks captured five Italian officers, 400 soldiers, two tanks, two heavy + UNS, five trucks, nine machine guns ;and huge quantities of ammunition | {which fleeing Italians had aban.doned in the streets. Hundreds of Italian stragglers were said to have been rounded up by the Greeks, who fed them andg packed them into trucks en route’ to prison camps in Greece. Green.uniformed gendarmes armed with .sub-machine guns were assigned to ‘escort prisoners out of the fighting zone,
ih Italians Add to Ranks
* On the central front the British said the Greeks were mopping: up rapidly and finding little Italian op.position, They were reported to ‘have struck west from Koritza as ‘far as a point 12 miles west of Vos‘kopoje which is 17 miles west- of Koritza. The British said the Italians were bringing | reinforcements into Al}? bania, estimated to number two divisions or about 30,000 men. The Italians admitted air attacks upon ‘Durazzo, Albania’s chief port, and ‘the Dodecanese Islands and said ‘their own air units attacked Corfu ‘and Greek troops in the Kalamas River valley. The exact cause of Bulgaria's apparent swing away from the Axis .after being on the brink of signing up in the tri-partite alliance -was not yet clear,
' Russian Influence Seen
However, there were strong indications that Russia played a major part in the switch A. A. Sobolev, .secretary-general of the Soviet Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, was at ‘Sofia today. He conferred with ‘King Boris and Premier Bogdan Filov yesterday and was expected to she Foreign Minister Ivan Popov today. That development seemed to offer ‘Greece a chance of avoiding embroilment on the Macedonian front while engaged with the Italians in ‘Albania. Shanghai reported rumors that Axis diplomatic activity was switching to the Far East with an attempt to extricate Japan from the war in China to free this Axis partner for offensive action in the direction of Singapore and the Dutch East Indies.
British List Sea Losses
It was said that Heinrich Georg Stahmer, Nazi “masked special envoy,” had heen designated to attempt this task. Pressure upon the Chungking Government to agree to peace with Japan was said to be contemplated. At the same time London heard rumors of a German peace feeler, this time through the medium of neutral Portugal. The British reported that : the new Nazi “Coventry” tactics were

hurting industrial and war production but by no means crippling the factories on which the British war effort depends, largely due to the system of “shadow” factories—secret plants scattered around the country —set up before the war. German coastal batteries on the English Channel were reported to have fired 200 rounds yesterday and last night in a vain attempt to hit a British convoy passing Dover and |this morning they opened up again. | London reported that shipping {losses for the week ended Nov. 17 were 59,534 tons, somewhat less than the average for the war so far. The Germans countered with a claim that another Nazi submarine had reported sinking 41,400 tons of shipping.
iNew York said today that the Ger{man radio had announced the sinkling of an unidentified British ship of 7300 tons in the Atlantic Ocean by a German battleship. { The German High Command had announced on Oct. 30 that one of
its warships was operating in “over-|
|seas waters.” De Gaulle Pushes Campaign
In London it was believed that a new campaign to win French North Africa and Tunisia to the side of Great Britain and the “Free France” movement was being planned. | First hand information was given [Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other Britsh leaders by Gen. Charles De Gaulle, head "of the “Free France” movement. He returned to London over the week-end after a three-months’ absence marked by his failure to win over Dakar, French West Africa, but by victory in French Equatorial Africa. Surveying the war, in a broadcast last night, De Gaulle said that while Italian armies in Libya, Egypt and Ethiopia were inactive and Italian armies were retreating before the Greeks in Albania “the French people in France can now realize and not without wrath that their armies have been deprived of a glorious part in the eventual vicory for freedom,” The British Air Ministry released pictures to prove that three Italian battleships, and possibly a fourth, and two cruisers were badly damaged by bomk.:s of the fleet air arm in. raids on Taranto Harbor Nov. 11. In Paris, cellaboration between France and Spain in the “new European order” which would return Spain to her “zone of influence” in Morocco was forecast by a semi-official source. A contemplated agreement would include reDa of all or part of Morocco taken by the French following the Riff war,
WOMAN INJURED FATALLY IN CRASH
Miller, 36, of 2241 Central Ave., died early today of injuries received when her car went out of control west of Road 52 on 30th St. near Flackville, last night. A witness told deputy sheriffs that the car she was driving and another raced past him and that when he arrived at the scene of the accident Mrs. Miller was lying in a field, unconscious. The car had struck a utility pole. She was alone in the car. Deputies took her to City Hospital and she died at 12:45 a. m. Her death brought the City-County traffic toll for the year to 130, which is 40 higher than at this time last year. Mrs. Miller was identified ak City Hospital *by a brother, Charles Link, who said he did not know where she might have heen going at the time of the accident.

RADIO-OPERATED BOMBERS MADE READY FOR USE
Manless Plane Proves a Success in Trial Over London. By MAJ. AL WILLIAMS
Times Aviation Editor Airpower is about to introduce its most spectacular development—the radio-controlled bomber.
Flying to a command to which he had been appointed less than a week before, Air Marshal Owen Tudor Boyd, Deputy Commander of the R. A. F. in the Middle East, was captured by Italians when his Wellington bomber was forced to land in Sicily. Four officer companions were also seized.

loans or the transfer of additional ships to Britain.
Unquestionably accurate reports received here are that the urgent and immediate, Britsh need is for ships, both merchant and naval vessels. That is an indirect admission that German submarines and surface raiders have cut deeply into the sea-going convoys upon which Great Britain depends for food. It is understood here that the British particularly need both cruisers and destroyers to cope with German sea raiders in addition to the flow of airplanes, airplane motors and such munitions already moving across the Atlantic, Underlying the whole question, however, is the problem of war loans. Lord Lothian told questioners that his country hoped next year to obtain airplanes, munitions, ships and finance from the United States. The implication was that Great Britain could not wih the] war without further assistance along those lines. : Mr. Roosevelt transferred 50 overage destroyers to the British flag and accepted sites for a chain of air and naval bases in this hemisphere without - Congressional counsel. The precedent has been established and another group of naval vessels could be transferred the same way.
British to Press Issue
But it is not likely that any effort would be made to finance British war purchases in this country without Congressional action to repeal the Johnson Act and amend the Neutrality Act. It is evident that Great Britain intends to press the issue, assisted by the organizations and individuals in this country which have been urging greater aid to the enemies of Germany, Italy and Japan, Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley was confident that the matter of British war loans will not/ come up at this session of Congress. But the issue scarcely can be dodged after Jan. 3 when the new Congress meets.

From all accounts, this development has passed the experimental stages and is ready for mass action. Some months ago a pilot friend of
| mine witnessed a mysteriously fool-
hardy bombing plane sailing directly over London, refusing to dodge the searchlights and wavering not one degree from its compass course, despite sheets of antiaircraft gunfire. Conjecture ran rife
|at that time as to the possibility of
the raider being a manless plane. The same performance was repeated during a daylight raid, to the astonishment of the ground defense forces. Straight across London flew this daylight bomber, not more than a few thousand feet up. From the accounts of observers, it was in fact low enough for its insignia markings to be recognized.
Flew Straight Course
The straight course of this enemy bomber led to one and only one conclusion: That it was a test run of a radio-controlled warplane. Periodically bombs were dropped by this ship. For many years air experts have been toying with the idea of controlling aircraft from the ground by radio. The British had pushed this development to the point where small training-type aircraft (called “Queen Bees”) were launched from catapults on naval vessels and maneuvered in the air while antiaireraft gunners blazed away for practice. At the end of the: practice shoot the “Queen Bees” were landed on the water and hoisted aboard again. The First Was Slow The first of these target planes were 90-horsepower trainers, equipped with floats for work with the fleet. They cruised at only about 65 miles an hour, and it was soon appreciated that, despite the inability of the gunners below to establish a decent score against the slow ships, larger and faster target planes were needed to simulate the rapidity of plane movement to be expected under war conditions. The new target. plane was powered by a 400horsepower engine, and was a great deal faster and much more maneuverable. And now we come to pilotless bombers and torpedo-carrying planes—in a war where competently trained flying personnel is far more valuable than a few thousand dollars’ worth of radio equipment. If radio control will work with one plane, it will work with any number of ships. This may be the real begining of a war age where bombers will be flown from continent to continent by radio-controlled ground radio stations — address and compass course of bombing destination alone required.
T-YEAR-OLD CASE IN COURT 7TH TIME
VALPARAISO, Ind. Nov. 26 (U.| P.).—A seven-year- -old lawsuit was! being - heard in Porter Superior | court today for the seventh time. Outside of appearing so numerously | in the same court it had these angles: The suit involved a horse that was sold for $100. Already court costs are $700.
tiff are dead. A colt of the horse is now full grown. The suit was based on the purchase of a horse in 1933 by Ben and Vernon Kuehls. They gave Ben Anderson a note of $100, it was claimed. : Later they claimed the horse was not up to par and refused to pay. Mr. Anderson sued. After several hearings he was killed in an automobile accident and his estate, being administered by Mrs. Cora Anderson, carried on. The previous six trials ended in disagreement by the jury. New trials have ben granted due to errors and irregularities.

As we continned our journey, the sun came out and three Italian bombers could be seen glistening in the sunlight overhead. - A few minutes later they dropped bombs several miles away, just over the mountain side.

The Italian pilots had dropped bombs in’ a perfect line but had chipped the road at only one point. About 20 miles from the frontier, I saw 17 wooden cases of Italian hand grenades, labelled “Societa Romano Constructioni Mechanici.” Down the road was the wreckage of

"Trojan Horse'
Is Mechanized
ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 26 (U.P.).—The Greeks are using the Trojan Horse again. A dispatch from the northern front said Greek crews manned .captured Italian tanks and drove into an Italian camp at Madik, on the west bank of Lake Ohrid, above Pogradec. The Italians, believing Italians were in the tanks, ran out to greet them. The Greeks opened fire, killed several Italians and chased the rest to their brick headquarters building, ‘the dispatch said. Then, it said, the Greeks used their “modern Trojan Horses” to batter down the walls of the headquarters building.

Bitterest Battle in Generation Certain Over Help to England

British Ambassador, Lord Lothian,
The Ambassador did not say, of | ‘course, that without them Britain would lose the war.

|and munitions to Britain. The row will come over the ships and dollars. Asked if he meant warships, such as the destroyers recently traded to England for naval and air bases, the envoy made the diplomatic but significant reply: “I used the word ‘ships”.”
Interfere With Shipping That the Nazis are seriously interferring with shipping between Britain and the United States and Canada is admitted. Sinkings are increasingly large, will the United States, therefore,
modify the Neutrality Act to permit American ships to carry stuff to Britain? If the President could “trade” 50 destroyers to Britain, he not only could “trade” still more destroyers in the same way—but he could dispose of any other kind of warship as well. Will he do so? If American ships are allowed to enter the war zones, will they be convoyed by United States warships? Will a sizable part of the Pacific fleet take up a position at Singapore and from there police the South Pacific, including the Dutch East Indies? There are many high officials as well as influential civilians in this country who strongly advocate some or all of these measures.
Form of Aid Only Issue
With regard to the “dollars” desired by Britain there is a vast difference of opinion. Not that any well-informed observer here doubts for a moment that,she will get the dollars. No one does. It is merely a question of the form in which they will be made available. There is some talk of repealing the Johnson A¢t and extending credits to Britain. But as Britain
