Fascist Shalom
London suggested that Badoglio was “out of sympathy” with Italian political leadership but warned Bgainst speculation regarding a split between Premier Benito Mussolini’s Fascists and Ttalian Army. professionals. However, it was apparent that the Immediate cause for Badoglio’s retirement lay in the success-of Greek arms and the reverses of Italian forces in ‘Albania. Military : commanders seldom quit when their operations are going well. Badoglio was known as Italy's "greatest living soldier.” | But his relations with Mussolini were believed to have been strained .occasionally by his independent views.
Close to Mussolini -
He had held the high command since the closing days of the World War and in the days when Mussolini was rising to power was reported to have asked King Victor Immanuel for permission to “drive those Fascist upstarts into the sea.” The king failed to take up Badoglio’s offer and in recent years the ey cammander had worked in close collahoration with Mussolini, Cavallero is 60 years old—nine years younger than Badoglio. He hag been close to Mussolini and was oné of the first Undersecretaries of War named to office by Il Duce. He is a veteran of the Turkish, World and Ethiopian Wars. His relations with Berlin Have been strengthened as Italy's representative on the Axis military and economic ‘committee,
Italo-Greek War
The Italian and Greek communiques made plain today’ that Cavallero has a first-class task on his hands to retrieve the Italian position in Albania although military experts reiterate that eventually Italy should be able to bring|® her crushing advantage of military material and reserves to bear against the ill-equipped Greeks. Athens officially reported occupation of Porto Edda, the southern t- which the Italians renamed for ussolini’s daughter, Countess Edda, avife of the Italian Fareign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano,: . Italian ps were said to be retreating up old mule road along the coast oward Port Palermo, x kita ‘Frontier reports to Jugosia The Greek troops later pressed on
the Porto Edda-Argyrokastron road. Greek troops were reported to ‘have fought a skirmish with the Italian - forces near the yillage of Vrioni, about three miles hoythwest
| of Porto Edda.
Report 'Two-Hour Battle “The Greeks, after a two-hour bat-| tle, pushed the Italians back to within three miles of Delvino, it was said. Greek losses were said to be 70 dead and 150 wounded. Italian losses were thought to be about the same, ~ : It was reported that in the occupation of Premeti the Greeks took prisoner seven Italian officers and 200 troops, and captured three tanks, two frucks, two light fleld guns and six machine guns. | Immediately after taking Premeti, it was said, the Greek forces divided into two columns and pushed on ahead. | The Greeks had stood before Porto] 0 Edda more than 24 hours waiting
for the Italians to evacuate urder| Co
shell’ fire, before they entered and occupied the city this morning, The Italians threw up a rear guard of tanks and armored cars: to hold the’ Greeks off until their. main force could retreat north,’and the
{Greek commanders were said to
have held their men back, rather than let ‘them rush headlong into the city, as the Greek Evzorie {roops particularly wanted to do, and risk a needless loss of life. i; The Greeks took it from the south; sweeping up the coast from the Konispolis region as the Italians retreated ahead of them, burning the supplies they could not carry along. These fires were seen for days on the island of Corfu, off the Greek and Albanian Coast.
Italians Admit Troubles
At the same time on the other extreme of the front Greeks were said to be pressing steadily foward Elbasan, the Italian central bastion only 10 miles from Tirana, the Albanian capital. The Italian: official communique made tacit admission of difficulties fon the Elbasan front where, Rome reported, Greek _ reinforcements were pressing the Italian left wing hard despite new Fascist; counterattacks. Rome also reported a flare-up in desert skirmishing in Africa Where a British detachment was said to have been defeated south of Sidi Barrani. British bombing attacks on Tobruk, Sollum and Sidi Bar‘rani were admitted.
South Atlantic War
The South Atlantic battle between. a British cruiser and a German raider was fought at extreme range. The engagement reportedly took on|place yesterday, about 700 miles northeast of Montevideo, Uruguay,
Porto Edda and advanced to ns. three miles of Delving
amt mot far from the scene of the battle
that destroyed the Nazi pocket battleship Graf Spee. The exact position was not disclosed but it was indicated as off the “toast of South Brazil, and would probably fall within the Zone set up by the Pan-American Conference as a ‘safety belt. ‘The British vessel suffered slight damdge and “some casualties,” accor to an Admiralty communi. que, but the action.against the heavily-armed German vessel was at such long range that the Carnarvon Castle was unable to get close enough to attempt a death blow or determine what damage was inflicted
Several Shots Fired
There was considerable firing on bath sides. as the slower, less well armed Carnarvon Castle pursued the ‘raider. : Before being taken over by the Admiralty and armed as an auxiliary cruiser, the Carnarvon Castle perated in the service of the Unloneastle ‘Mail and Steamshi . ‘The vessel was built in 1926 at Belfast and its home port is London." Several Nazi sea raiders have been reported in action at widely separated points in ‘the North and South Atlantic recently in co-ordin-ation with German U-boat attacks on" British ‘convoys and the British Navy has been seeking to run them} own.
: Aerial War
In the bombed south coast town identified ‘by Berlin as Portsmouth, rescue squads dug into the shattered remains of a motion picture theater today for 50 persons who had been already buried 12 hours after last. night's brief but severe attack. Portsmouth is England's great shipping center and headquarters of the British home fleet. Between 200 and 300 persons were watching a film, High explosive bombs came crashing down, ripping’ the ceiling into SPkintess: Many in the audience managed to reach emergency exits. ‘They re-
for those who hadn’t, As the search progressed it became apparent that many had been killed outright or had died of injuries. The area in which the theater was located was hit hardest, A large apartment house, many business establishments and another theater were severely damaged. Elsewhere, two hospitals and many private homes were struck. A shower of incendiary bombs fell on one hospital, 8 nurses’ home and other buildings in the vicinity. The roof of the hospital's clinic, where 20 persons sought shelter caved in. Auxiliary fire fighting units quartered near the hospital fought the fires, assisted by the nurses who formed a bucket brigade, passing buckets from the street to the top of the three-story building,

Mr. Sexton is basing his hopes of vietory in the recount on a challenge of the vote in Precinet 13, Ward 12. The voting machine in that precinct, after breaking down several times on election day, showed all Democrats receiving a vote of approximately 361, while Mr. Sexton received only 240. He contends the machine failed to count his vote properly.
