north just as winter ice seemed to be closing the Danube River for the winter, : In the Far East, Japan suddenly tightened up control of economic : life and tightened down on the ' press. The new laws were described officially as due to Japan’s “serious situation,” apparently the result of indirect economic pressure by the United States and Great Britain to halt Tokoyo’s southern expansion.

Egyptian Front

The British were still mopping up the vast Egyptian battlefield, 500 square miles in area, on the sixth day of their offensive, and reports

by the fact that the single road from Sollum to Bardia along the coast was under constant fire from British -naval guns. A steady stream of prisoners pouring through a tiny port on the Egyptian desert left no doubt that the Itelians were taken completely by surprise and misled regarding the direction of the British attack. The fleet, the R. A, F. and the main body of British troops had seemed ready for a large-scale frontal attack when the mechanized division and the Australians atfacked from the south, pushing a wedge through the Italians near Bug Bug and isolating Sidi Barrani. The prisoners said they- had been in the desert for 15 months. The British said they had taken a total of 26,000 prisoners in five days. The frontier post of Sollum was reported in flames and about to be captured today after the naval bombardment. Torbuk, 75 miles inside Libya, also was said to be ablaze, but the Italian communique did not mention either fortress. Information reaching Cairo was .that British casualties in the entire operation had been “surprisingly light?

Air Warfare

Unfavorable weather apparently kept German planes from attacking British targets last night and most of today (the first alarm in London sounded shortly after dusk), but British bombers roared through the clouds and storm to attack the big German naval bases at Kiel and Bremen, the submarine base at Bordeaux, airdromes in Holland

and France and the Italian city of b

Crotone. : ! The Air Ministry at London took adventage of the lull to recapitulate the results of British raids. © Besides the damage reported at Hamburg, it was said that 35 raids on Berlin and 53 attacks on railroad objectives throughout Germany had “considerably = disorganized” German transportation and that an average of a raid a night on the submarine base at Lorient, France, had been made. : It said the Dortmund-Ems Canal had been raided 30 times, the Channel ports every night, and Cologne 60 times.

French Shakeup

Although all the members of the Vichy Cabinet were asked to resign by Marshal Petain, the only names missing in the new Cabinet were those of Laval and his associate, Georges Ripert, Education Minister. Ripert was replaced by Jacques Chevalier. Although Petain said he had notified Hitler of the changes, he said that the dropping of Laval was purely a matter of domestic policy and had absolutely no connection with French relations with Germany. oi Flardin during the Czech crisis had demanded a “clear road” for Hitler in Central Europe and after Munich sent Hitler a telegram of congratulations. He is ‘a former French premier. The decree designating Laval as Petain’s successor was revoked, and the choice left to the Cabinet council.

Italian- defeats

Uneasiness . Mr. Mason

Nevertheless; the Italian people are not showing a sufficient fighting spirit to allow the Fascists much hope that they cah reverse their present plight in the war by their own efforts. It seems probable that they must eventually request outside help or else be content. to remain on the defensive while awaiting the outcome of the struggle between Germany and Great Britain. Either position, if the war continues through next year, will subject the Fascists to growing criticism at home, whose momentum eventually may overwhelm Mussolini's leadership. Especially may this happen if the Italians were forced to evacuate Albania and if Marshal Graziani’s position in Libya became so precarious through failure of supplies as to compel capitulation.

Complete Collapse Unlikely

Time, however, would seem to be necessary before fascism faces this plight. Meanwhile, persistent British bombing of Italy’s industrial centers in the north must be considered a contributory means to undermining Fascist morale and weakening Italy materially; but an Ttalian collapse comparable to that of France can scarcely be expected by the British because Italy’s homeland is not under invasion.

were listed as Klisura and Tepelini on the south inland front and Chimara on the Adriatic coast, in addition to a broader attack which is directed against Elbasan on the north wing but is still some distance from that base. The strength of the Fascist resistance was indicated by the fact that the Greeks have been close to Tepelini and Klisura for several days, with both under artillery bombardment, yet the Italians have clung determinedly tq their positions. The fall of Chimara, 30 miles from the important but bombwrecked port of Valona, was believed likely at any time, however. Greek dispatches from the front said the Italians were evacuating the town and falling back toward Valona. A British news agency reported that evacuation of Valona itself had

Home Fronts

Civilians in both Britain and Italy tightened their belts today with no prospect of much improvement in rations this winter. The meat ration in Great Britain was cut from 44 to 37 cents a week per person. As the personal meat ration was cut about one-fifth, the supplies of meat provided to hotels and caterers were cut one-third. Food Minister Lord Woolton attributed the reductions to less production on home farms than had been anticipated and to transportation difficulties. Mr. Lloyd George, in his

Italian operations against the Greeks and the British have been sufficiently extensive for judgment to be passed on the military capacity of the Fascists. It must be said that there has been a definite decline in the Italian combat power and leadership. The Italians fought better during the World War than they have been doing in the present conflict. Casualties Surprisingly Small This fact is demonstrated not only by the heavy capitulations, after only brief fighting in North Africa, but also by the admissions in Rome of the meager Italian casualties in the Greek war. The Italian Government stated this week that during all November, the Italians lost only 780 killed and 1917 wounded in Greece and Albania. Considering that the Italjans ‘were engaged in a desperate struggle to hold their positions against the Greeks, their small casualty list does not justify any belief that fascism has stimulated Italy’s combat competence. . It would seem preferable for Fascists to believe their government has concealed far heavier losses. But, if that be true, then fascism would seem to consider home morale is too weak to be told the truth.

The Communist rising around Saigon, which is important strategically because of its nearness to Singapore, great British naval base in the Far East, was linked not to. Russia but to elements fYormerly connected with the “Popular Front” Governments of pre-war France. Although so many were said to be under arrest that the jails were overflowing and 400 prisoners were held aboard ships in the harbor, it was reported that some of the Communist - leaders were hiding in swamps outside Saigon, where neither planes nor land forces could successfully attack them. Plans for the revolt were said to have called for attacks on French arsenals to seize arms for a march on Saigon. In the war with Thailand, it was reported that Siamese forces were bombing ‘and shelling the frontier region of Savannakhet at dusk today and that about 100 French troops had invaded the Ubol frontier sector yesterday and had been driven off after a half-hour fight. Bankok, Siam, reported today that 24 French guerrilla fighters from Indo-China, in a form of Oriental blitzkrieg, had invaded the village of Chanthaburi on two elephants in search of food and had been repulsed. :

REP, MAY URGES PROMPT REPEAL OF JOHNSON ACT

Promises to Introduce Bill}

On First Day of New Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (U. P)—

House Military Affairs Committee today denounced the Johnson Act,

Great Britain, and announced that

on the first day the new Congress meets, Jan. 3. “England” is the next to last stay of civilization,” he said, “and we're sitting over here waiting to be the last stay, and alone at that.” He said the Johnson Act, which prohibits loans and credits to na-

the United States, is “punitive legislation passed to penalize a people just because they haven't paid their war debt.” Js : Other Bill to Die

A bill by Senator William H. King (D. Utah) to repeal the act is pending before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee but will die with the current session of Congress. Rep. May disclosed his plans as discussions of war finances continued between Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. and Sir Frederick Phillips, undersecretary of the British Treasury. Sir Frederick and Mr. Morgenthau conferred again yesterday but, as usual, details of the discussions were not disclosed. Rep. May said the United States “ought to see that Britain gets everything she needs—munitions, warplanes, tanks and guns—and keep sending them as fast as we can make them.” :

“Be Businesslike”—Bloom “If Britain gets to where she can not carry them over,” he added, “we ought to take some of our battleships and escort the convoys for them. Everybody that's got any

common sense knows that if England is conquered we will have to stand against the world alone.” House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., (Mass.), said he had reached no conclusion on proposals to repeal the Johnson Act. He added that, as minority leader, he had “nothing” to say on the proposition at this time. Chairman Sol Bloom (D. N. Y.), of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said that before any action is taken, “Britain should make a definite request, say what she wants, and what she wants it for. Put it on a busi-ness-like basis.” He favored extension of credits, rather than outright loans.

CITY CHOSEN AS SITE FOR ORDNANCE PLANT

(Continued from Page’ One)

said Navy representatives had visited the city three or four times and that he also had talked to Rear Admiral W. R. Furlong, the Navy's ordnance chief, about the matter in Washington. Mr. Forrestal said the plant at Macon will be the smallest, costing $800,000 and employing 250 persons. The Detroit plant, he said, will cost approximately $12,000,000 and will employ approximately 3600 persons. The Canton plant is scheduled to cost $16,000,000 and is expected to employ 2000 people. Mr. Forrestal announced that all types of naval ordnance, including guns for the projected two-ocean fleet, would be manufactured at the five plants.

Mussolini Faces

Loss of Power

(Continued from Page One)

lini, and for a purpose. He wants to put the Duce “in his place” once and for all. So he is deliberately allowing him to stew in his own juice. Some six years ago, when Hit= ler was just an upstart imitator of Mussolini, he made certain moves preparatory to taking over Austria. Promptly the then powerful Mussolini flung several Army corps along the Austrian border and warned the Fuehrer to watch his step. Now the roles are reversed. Hitler regards himself as supreme in Europe and all others—including the Duce—as mere vassals. These he is "now disciplining. When he cracks the whip he wants them to jump through the hoop—and promptly. : Nothing could be more humiliating to Mussolini nor more devastating to his prestige at home and abroad. By contrast, the kindly, patient and still popular King Victor Emmanuel will begin to shine. Submerged rivalries— such as those between the regular Army and the Fascist militia —will rise to the surface. Unless something happens soon to reverse this trend, therefore, the Duce may shortly find himself on the toughest spot of his career. Knowing this, he may be expected shortly to make some terrific and perhaps dramatic effort to avert disaster. :

other three-fourths—-walked out without penalties. The percentage was higher ' in traffic court yesterday for a single days’ business. Of 76 violators .convicted; 25 paid fines. The Court collected $114 from the violators yesterday—an average of $1.50 a head for all those convicted. The average- fine for those assessed was about $5.60. Licenses were suspended in five of the more serious cases along with the fines. In. one. case, the arresting officer became confused. He mistook a 30 miles-per-hour speed zone for a 20 miles-per-hour zone. Both the judge and the prosecutor corrected the officer, who blushed. But the conviction was a $15 fine and 6-months’ license suspension. The violator had crashed a light at a heavily traveled intersection and bowled over an old man who was not hurt seriously. . In the daily traffic drama, the traffic judge plays several parts: He plays the judge sitting sternly on the bench and then he leans over and plays the prosecutor. The City prosecutor most of the time acts as a clerk. He calls names of those who are to appear before the court, asks a few perfunctory legal questions of the officer. Then the Judge takes over and the prosecutor fingers his affidavits in readiness for the next case. When the policeman has outlined his case in informal, narrative form, the Judge takes over: “All right, Mr. Doe, story.” - Mr. Doe tells his story. The judge questions him and cross-examines the police officer. Then the judge makes his finding and the accused or convicted is hurried out of court.
