Soddu, had ordered it defended “to the last man.”

1500 Reported Killed

- The air;engagement over Argyrokastron was reported to have been fought between eight British bombers and 10 Italian bombers. One of the British Blenheims made a forced landing. Reports gave losses in the engagement as more than 1500 on both - sides. Greek losses were put at seven officers and 150 ‘soldiers killed and 300 wounded. Italian losses were stated as 11 officers and 300 soldiers killed, 500 wounded and four officers and 340 soldiers captured. Frontier dispatches reported that the Greeks captured two heavy guns,

three light guns, eight machine guns;

ahd large quantities of ammunition. Advances also weré claimed by the Greeks on the north Albanian front, where it was said that the forces which reportedly captured Pogradec had continued to advance along the west shore of Lake Ochrida. = Bomb Italian Airdrome

"Ttalian armies on the north (Koritza) front were said to have been split by the Greek advance as the Fascists fell back toward CafaSane. Six Greek and British planes bombed and damaged the Italian girdrome at Elbasan this morning, also dropping many bombs on the surrounding area. About 70 persons were killed and 120 wounded in the town, it was reported, while fires were started in several houses. Two bombs reportedly hit an . Italian barracks, killing an officer and wounding about 20 soldiers. One Greek bomber was shot down in flames. : Rome claimed its forces had faunched successful counter-attacks against the Greeks “at . various points.” :

Naval Battle

The British fleet reportedly was - overtaken and -attacked by Italian bombers and chasers 125 miles off, Sardinia. “Heayy calibre” bombs struck an aircraft carrier, a battleship and a cruiserzand the battleship was left afire, the Italians asA :

serted. During the air attack, it was said, five British chasers from the gireraft carrier were shot down while only two Italian planes, a bomber and a chaser, were lost. Writing in the authoritative Giornale D’Italia Virginio Gayda said that the engagement proved the strength of the Italian Navy and the dominance of Italian aviation. Vital, Flaming Sector “The Mediterranean tends more and more to become a! vital, flaming sector of conflict,” Gayda said. Cruisers of the Kent class are of 10,000 tons, laid down in 1926, armed with eight eight-inch guns and carry three aircraft with catapults. Cruisers of the -Birmingham class are of 9100 tons, laid down in 193637, are armed with 12 six-inch guns, three aircraft with catapults and six torpedo tubes. The Fiume, which the Italians-as-gert the British hit, was built in 1930. She is of 10,000 tons, carries eight eight-inch guns and a complement of 705 officers and men.

The air war centered over south England where formations of German fighter and fighter-bomber planes battled British - warcraft while Nazi long range guns on the French Coast “heavily -shelled the Dover sector.

2 BRITISH CRUISERS HIT, ITALIANS CLAIM

planes last night dropped 200 tons of high explosive bombs on the port of Plymouth on the southwest coast. London admitted a southwest coast town had been bombed eight hours and well informed quarters in Berlin insisted the raid caused heavy damage and great fires. The first cargo of bombs set & fire in one area which burned soi furiously persons were able to read newspapers by the glow some distance away.

were killed in one house hit by a high explosive bomb. Meanwhile, the Royal Air Force raided Cologne, Germany, and the invasion ports of Le Havre, Boulogne and Antwerp last night, the, Air Ministry announced. Authoritative quar said the attack on Cologne was among the heaviest of any recent raid in Germany. : Hospital Hit in London

In London, the German bombs seriously damaged a hospital and some patients were: killed. The hospital roof was blown a -block away. Seven persons were killed and several injused by -one heavy bomb which hit their shelter. The dead included a man, his wife and three children. vs . In another London area six ‘bombs set a warehouse afire and it burned for . hours, silhouetting buildings miles away. London disclosed that the famous and fashionable Savoy and Carlton Hotels had been damaged in recen raids. ; "

Balkans

The Balkans generally were tense

bloody events in. Rumania where Iron Guardists yesterday slaughtered 64 or more political enemies. Indicating continuation of the terrorism, the German news agency, D. N. B,, said that former Premier Jorda had been taken from his home in Sinaia by Iron Guards and his body riddled with bullets. He was Premier in 1931 and 1932.

ported that Premier Gen. Ion Antonescu had taken precautions against further disorders.

said that mass executions in Rumania was a sign of anarchy, and Germany might take over Rumania to insure delivery of war materials from there unless Antonescu brought

‘| the situation under control quickly.

Young radical elements of the Iron Guard were blamed for the executions. Hungarian observers doubted that Horia Sima, Rumanian Deputy Premier and Iron Guard leader, could control these youths, who have neither discipline nor a program. he Bucharest was calm, but tense as Iron Guardists went through elaborate ceremonies for the “martyrs” for whose deaths the 64 were slain yesterday.

Far- East

Serious trouble was reported in the sore spot of the Far East— French Indo-China. Hanoi reported that French regular troops had been rushed to the Langson area of northern Tongking Province to quell uprisings by native Communists, rebels and pirates. The fighting appeared to be on a fairly large scale and in southern Indo-China 500 natives were arrested. Strictest measures were being applied in an attempt to restore order. Simultaneously, Bangkok reported

,| that the Thailanders were “retaliat-|*

ing” for alleged French raids on a Siamese town by sending the Thailand air force to attack “military objectives” in Indo-China. The Thailand air force action was said to be “widespread” and semiofficial sources said “we are not

¥ ' have been subpenaed for scrutiny. It was learned today that the trail will lead into some nicely paneled offices and that some big ‘figures are likely to be parking their hals outside the grand jury room here. The chief task of both the Senale Committee and the Justice Department has to do with the amounts spend by all sorts of committees outside the regular party organizitiohs, which flourished in this elec-

tion on an unusual scale, and by individuals who opened their pocketbooks and distributed their funds not only in one state but in severalf and frequently without any official record or report. . Accordingly, the limitations of $3,000,000 fixed for national campaigns and $5000 for individual contributions could mean little—and, as it turned out, did mean little, despite Wendell L. Willkie’s injunction to his own party. The Gillette Committee found itself blocked by refusal of many .of these groups to disclose what they had spent. They stood on ‘good legal grounds. For they were set up in states, beyond federal jurisdiction. They do not have to! report to Congress, as do the national political committees. : | Senator Gillette said today that he is trying to work out a solution for this problem in the way of leg-

Reich health organization. The/purpose is to conserve alcohol, adly needed as a fuel for automobiles. The magazine said non-alcholic drinks already had been made from tomatoes, black bread, herbs, and ginger, . and wine manufacturers claim to have succeeded in making a wine from grapes from which all alcoholic content has been extracted without spoiling the natural aroma and taste. \ \ Five new types of beed already are on the market, four made from bar-
