400 Planes: Help Italians Stiffen Resistance in Albania.

- (Continued from Page One)

/ anything to do with the slaying two years ago of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Iron Guard leader. King Carol's Government announced at ‘that, time that he and other Iron Guardists had been shot while trying to escape, but pro-Nazis said they had been killed while bound hand and foot. Today’s victims were lined up n front of the opened grave of Codreanu in the prison courtyard apd shot. Premier George Argeseanu; generals, Gabriel Marines ai! Ton Bengliu; Mihail Moruzow, ef of secret police for the exiled King Carol, and Nicholai Stefanescu, in charge of Army intelligence under Carol. Marinescu was the ‘‘protector” of Mme. Magda Lupescu, Carol’s red-haired mistress.

Fascist Resistance Stiffens

A number of other former officials, ‘including _ex-Premier Ion Gigurtu, were dragged from their beds and arrested as the Pro-Nazi organization made its power felt in a country where a large German military mission is mow on duty. The Iron Guards, once driven underground by Carol, came into power with the rise of Gen. Antonescu to the premiership and their hold on the Rumanian Government was stabilized by the arrival of German {roops which were invited into the Balkan state to train the army.

‘Rumania later adhered to the Axis,

but distinctly as a junior partner. Despite large numbers of Italian reinforcements in the Balkans and 8 statement in Athens that the Italians were, putting up stiffer resistance, frontier reports in Jugolavia Said that the Greeks were still advancing in Albania. * It was said that the Fascists were THecire north from Porto Edda and that the Greeks were within two miles of Argyrokastron. The Jugoslav reports said that Albanian rebel guerrillas were making the Italian retreat . difficult but that Gen, Ubaldo Soddu, commanding the Italian forces, had ordered Argyrokastron “defended to the last man,” :

wa iT Turin Bombed Again

ph ‘A squadron of: 400 Italian planes was reported sent to Albania as some ]4 transports landed reinforcement§ at Lurazzo for the northern (Lakp Ochrida) front, according to messages from Jugoslavia and Athens, where it was said that 300 Fascist war planes were in action yesterday along the front. + An Italian “lost” division on the central front in the Pindus Mountains was reported under steady artillery fire by the Greeks. On the air front elsewhere, British bombers started a tremendous fire in the Royal Italian Arsenal at Turin, attacked railroads in Berlin, smashed heavily at arms factories in Cologne and battered German-held ports in . Holland, Belgium and France. : The Germah planes, kept from heavy attacks on the British Isles during the night, because of bad weather, resumed sporadic daylight raids, striking at London and towns on the East coast and the Midlands.

Swiss Protest Again

Dispatches from Scandinavia rgported signs of Norwegian sabotage directed against the Germans, who declared martial law in western and southern areas of the occupied oountry. Stockholm press dispatches said that “mysterious” mountain landslides had been disrupting kommunications for two days and

n' wrecked in at least 10 places. A number of persons were arrested, the dispatches said, and Nazi troop reinforcements were sent into the affected areas. The sabotage was believed to have been an attempt to handicap the Gers mans in using Norwegian bases for bombing attacks on England and Scotland.

Among the 64 were forme |

N ‘PURGE’

that foreign Danes had flown over the country at a high altitude. It was believed that these were British planes which bombed Turin; they were fired on by Swiss anti-aircraft guns. The Federal -Council at Berne today decreed the abolition of the Communist Party in Switzerland.

Bulgaria Wins Reprieve

Bulgaria, also struggling to preserve neutrality, seemed today to have passed a crisis. Blackouts in the military district around Sofia, the capital, were discontinued and we newspaper headlines read : lifts in the Balkans” and ‘Tension Lessens.” It was believed hat diplomatic intervention by ussia had prevented Germany from insisting that Bulgaria sign an Axis pact as Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia did. Tass, official Soviet news agency, said today in dispatches datelined Berlin ‘that entry of Bulgaria into the Axis alliance was -Hielh under consideration.

U. S. Protests to Japan

In the Far East, the United States Embassy at Tokyo protested to the Japanese Foreign Office against the arrest of an American | newspaperman, Melville Jacoby, and | U. S. Vice, Consul Robert W. Riiden, in Haiphong, Indo-China, last week. Both men were released shortly after their arrest, but reports from Indo-China today said that the Governmerit was considgering the expulsion of both. . They were charged with being “arrogant” after they were arrested for. photographing a Japanese sentry on American property. The Japanese reported that a four-pronged offensive in. China's Han River Valley threatened encirclement of 300,000 Chinese troops and olgimed that two Chinese divisions in’ northwest Hupeh Province had been peaten in battle Sunday and 1500 killed. ; The new Far Eastern war seemed a very second-rate conflict so far. It resulted from an attempt by the Siamise to take over a slice of territory in the -province of Cambodia, which Bangkok claims rightfully belongs to Thailand. The demand was pressed after Japan forced concessions from IndoChina, and according to the Vichy report, Siamese regulars attacked at 11 p. m. Saturday night in an attempt to capture the village of Popiet. It was said that the skirmish lasted for several hours, but the number of casualties was not given.

U. 8S. Asked for Ships

The United States was in the diplomatic news also at far-scat-tered points. In London, Shipping Minister Ronald Cross declared that Britain’s shipping construction program is unable to keep up with losses suffered in the German submarine blockade and that the Government is looking to “the shipyards of the United States to make up tHe difference.”

Criticizing the report in Commons today, former War Secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha said that it must mean that Britain is losing 90,000 tons of ships weekly. Arthur Greenwood, Liberal leader and Cabinet minister without portfolio, said that shipbuilding had increased more than 50 per cent since the beginning of the war.

In Leghorn, Italy, Foreign Minister Count Ciano's newspaper said that the United States soon would succeed to Britain's position in the world because “whoever associates with the United States accepts its outright contrel.” It said decisions in the White House already are more important than those ~ at Westminster. f Arthur B. Purvis, head of the British Purchasing Commission to the United States, said in_a speech to newspapermen that the flow of {| United States war supplies to Britain next year would be “remarkable.”

question of credits to Britain arises, it will be pertinent to inquire into British resources in this country.” The committee’s action came after Jesse Jones, Secretary of Commerce and Federal Lending Administrator, had told a press conference that American financial aid to Britain was impossible “until and if Congress acts on the matter.”

It's Up to Congress

Secretary Jones declined, however, to say specifically whether he considered the Johnson Act ban on loans to world war debt-defaulters as applying to Government as well as private lending. He said in that connection that no loans would be made “in contravention of the purpose and spirit” of the act.

“I don’t know anything we can do for Britain until and if , Congress | acts on the matter,” he said.

He disclosed that an announce{ment may be made next week ,on the extent to which this country may aid Argentina financially in efforts to rehabilitate her warshattered foreign trade.

Secretary Jones said that discussions also are going on With Cuba, and that country likewise may seek a U. S. loan.

Denies Loan Granted

He said talks on the question of further aid to China are going on.

He denied that an immediate loan was planned to that country but pointed out -that the Chinese are “well up” on their repayments of the $65,000,000 the Federal Loan Agency has already given them. “We would like to continue to show our friendship and willingness to help China,” the Secretary said. “As long as China is in.trouble, we hope to help her when and as we can.” Some consideration has been given to purchases from Chile, he said, where the nitrate and copper situation is being investigated. Any transactions with that country, he indicated, would be on a direct purchase basis.

Both Houses in Recess

The rest of Congress was quiet today, both the House and Senate being in recess. A Senate judiciary

subcommittee considers the nomination of J. Warren Madden to be a judge-of the U. S. Court of Claims. When the House meets tomorrow it may complete action on the Wal-ter-Logan Bill which was unexpectedly passed by the Senate yesterday. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D. Pa.), co-author of the bill to subject the rulings of quasi-judicial agencies to court review, will attempt to end its 18-motith journey through Congress by ‘asking the House: to agree to revisions made by the Senate. a0

10-YEAR DREAM T0 BE REALIZED

Butler Lets General Contracts Today for $250,- , 000 Structure.

Ground will be broken. soen on the Butler University campus for the erection of a $250,000 College of Religion building, envisioned for more than 10 years by Butler officials. : Final plans for the two-story, soft toned brick structure Eine! in limestone were announced today by Will’ G. Irwin of Columbus, chairman of the building committee. General contracting, plumbing, heating and electrical contracts are to be awarded this afternoon. The committee this morning approved plans and specifications of the new building which will be one of the most modern of its type in the country. Burns and James were the architects, Early American Style

Georgian or Early American In style, the building will be more than 200 feet in length. The central part will contain offices and consultation rooms for the dean of the college and his administrative staff, offices for eight department heads and classrooms, Mr. Irwin said. The marble entrance will open into a large reception room which in turn will open ‘into a large stone terrace. A reading room and stock room for the college library will ke located in a wing on the south end of the building. The structure will be fireproof throughout for protection of valuable books to be housed in the libraryfapd seminar rooms. In addition there will be a steel and jconcrete vault for other valuable items.

Chapel for 200

In the north wing will be a .chapel large enough to seat 200. It will provide for an organ which may be added later. The steeple which will tower over the center of the building will have provisions for bells. In additi to the classrooms, there will be sekgn seminar rooms with special study and research equipment. There also will be a meeting room for the faculty and a museum for display of valuable documents and other objects belonging to the college that relate to the history of the Christian Church. On the ground floor there will be large lounge and recreation rooms and a kitchen. The sloping roof will be slate. The interior will carry out the architectural theme of the exterior and will incorperate recent developments in lighting, heating and sound insulation. So that the new building will not clash with the architecture of Arthur Jordan Hall on the campus, it will be built about 1000 yards to the north.

Kershner Ideas Used

Ideas of Dean Frederick Kershner were incorporated in the design of the new structure by the architects after they visited many important theological schools, including tnose at Yale and Chicago Universities. J. W. Atherton, secretary-treas-urer of Butler, credited Mr. Irwin with being instrumental in making the new builine possible with a donation $100,000 through the Christian Foundation. The rest of the funds were raised by the downtown office, of the school from donations by Christian Church members, Mr. Atherton said. Over a number of years, Mr. Irvin, his sister, Mrs, Z. T. Sweeney, and Joseph I! Irwin, have donated more than $900,000 to Butler, Mr. Atherton said. Butler has housed a theological school for the training of Christian Church ministers since 1924. Besides Mr. Irwin and Mr. Atherton, members of the building committee are Hilton U. Brown, Hugh Th. Miller, Edwin Errett and Emsley W. Johnson Sr.

Last Fascist Unit in Greece

Is Shelled A

cross Mountain)

By J. H. YINDRICH United Press Staff Correspondent

SOMEWHERE IN THE PINDUS MOUNTAINS, Near the Greek-

+ Albanian Frontier (By Telephone to Athens),

Nov. 27.—The remnant

of a “lost division,” the last of the Italian troops on Greek soil, is being shelled casually into surrender in this sector. The Italian force is believed to include two regiments of infantry

and an artillery unit, mountain, the Greeks the other. They fire back and forth over the peak. Greek troops have advanced into Albania above and below the mountain leaving a horse-shoe bend in their lines at this point. I walked along a road, over which shells were flying both directions and could see the Greek guns hidden back under trees and bushes. Once I heard. the crackle of

,machine-gun fire from the other

side of the mountain. 4 Greeks Guard 200 Italians

As I talked to a Greek infantry officer, a soldier in a green nelmet approached and asked the officer for a few men to help three Greeks guard 86 Italian prisoners. The officer let him have three more men. The prisoners were headed by a wizened captain who showed signs of shellshock.. He still had his revolver and he carried a thin steel cane. He said he and his companions were * Albanians, although they wore green Italian uniforms. I was told they had come over the mountain and surrendered.

While the captive captain was being disarmed, about 200 more Albanian-Ifalians came down the road, guarded by four Greeks who carried their rifles slung nonchalantly over thelr shoulders. With them were two Greeks carrying the body of a Greek officer on a stretcher. The body was covered’ by a coat. These prisoners spoke only Albanian. They looked

cheerful and the officers shook my hand, although I could not understand what they said.

Resist Strongly

Greeks told me that despite Albanian defections, the main Italian force was resisting’ strongly on the other side of the mountain. I went up the mountain a ‘way, to the former Italian headquarters, to study the situation in which both sides could shéll the road, but neither could locate the other’s guns. The Italians, I was told, also were shelling a village they evacuated Sunday, in hopes of destroying an ammunition dump they had left there. Three Italian planes approached, lazily circling’ the reddish brown mountain tops. They were identical with Italian bombers I had seen in action in Spain. They dumped their loads and I counted 50 explosions. Anti-aircraft shells were exploding just behind the tails of the planes. On a neighboring mountain, where the bombs had fallen, clouds of thick, black smoke rose 60 feet, in the air. I crossed a stream and climbed a rock-strewn ravine from a valley spotted with shell craters, and littered with the nosecaps of exploded shells. Occasionally there was the whine of a stray bullet.

4 Planes in Sky

It took me two houys to reach the former headquarters of the crack Italian 42d Regiment of Alpini. It was half hidden among pine trees. Four Italian planes were in the sky now and their bombs roared through the valleys. A Greek artilleryman lay on a blood-sodden stretcher under a tree. His right arm had been smashed by an Italian shell and his right ankle was covered with a bloody bandage. An Army doctor was trying to stop the flow of blood with cotton ard bandages and was’administering morphine. The doctor warned me to take cover. Bombs were falling nearby. I sat on a box of ammunition. The air reeked with chloroform. The artilleryman’s moans~ gradually stopped. The rapid-fire Greek artillery and the rumble of Italian guns continued in the distance. A string of mules loaded with equipment was led to tHe shelter of nearby pine trees. The shelling, which continued the four hours I was in the viciniy, did not bother the mules. As I left, nine Italian bombe passed, en route to their base for more bombs.

CHICAGO, Nbv. 27 (U. P).—An impression of four numerals and five letters on a threat note used in "the $10,000 “nitroglycerin” holdup? of the South Chicago Savings Bank last Oct. 18 led today to the seizure of two women and three men, including a teller at the bank, as suspects in ‘the crime.

Opposed by Briggs The third member of the commis= sion, Mr. Briggs, a Republican, ‘voted against the sale of the bonds, and yesterday ed a long state ment criticizing the transaction. The suit contended “that the present reasonable value Jof the bridge is not in excess of $500,000. Anson Thomas, legislative director of the Indiana Farm Bureau, de~clared that this organization was

Mr, Thomas sai that the Demo-~ cratic members of the commission had i stomped to justify the transaction by the fact that it would not cost the taxpayers a cent since the bonds would he paid off by revenue from the bridge. “You can’t give a half million- dollars to somebody without some one paying the bill.
