British bombers also made a heavy raid on Durazzo, main Italian port in Albania. Nazi planes, on the other hand, varied the technique of their terror attacks and glided silently down on London during the night from tremendous heights, dropped their bombs and raced off to safety -before air-raid sirens could be sounded.. On the whole damage in the Isles was said not to be extensive.
French Drama
The events in France appeared to be moving swiftly toward new drama. Abetz arrived at Vichy late yesterday from Paris in a swift motor car, guarded by German soldiers armed with sub-machine guns: He visited briefly with Flandin, who is ill with the grippe, and arranged to see Marshal Petain today. Today Petain, dressed in full military uniform, received the German emissary who advised him that he desired to confer personally with Laval, detained at his chateau. After the interview it was announced that, after Abetz’ intervention, Laval had been released. The next move was uncertain. However, it did not appear possible that Petain would allow Laval to return to the Government even should such. action be demanded by the Nazis. It has been indicated that Laval is most anxious to go to Paris. Should he do so the possibility would arise that he might set up a separate “French” regime in the occupied zone, bulwarked by the German occupying force.
Egyptian Front
As the drama of state moved forward in France, the British Imperial Force in Africa drove deeper into Libya. Sollum on the Egyptian * side of the border was occupied, as was Fort Capuzzo, a desert outpost just inside Italian territory. Fresh British troops were reported to have been brought up to keep the desert war at whirlwind tempo. However, British military authorities continued to caution against predictions of any indefinite advance into Libya, pointing/to the lengthening ‘British supply lines and the corresponding ease with which Italians can now maintain communications. Weather conditions, following sand storms and rain, were improved in the Libyan desert and British air forces were strongly attacking all Fascist bases along the Mediterranean Coast, having dropped more than a- dozen tons of bombs on Bardia to start a number of fires. Rome admitted that fierce battles continued in Libya without offering detailed comment on the result. The Italian communique said Fascist torpedo planes scored two. hits on a 6000-ton British cruiser which had shelled Bardia, and admitted loss of five Italian planes, The Germans, after jgnoring the African ‘war, suddenly launched a press campaign belittling the British successes and insisting that they could not affect the result in the main theater of British-German operations. >
Sea War
Increasing british losses in the vital war at sea were reported by the Admiralty which said that 101,190 tons of shiping were sunk in the week ended Dec. 8. It was described as “a rather bad” week by ‘the Admiralty. However, the British pointed out that losses were considerably less " than half those claimed by the Germans for the period. The Nazi claim was 242,947 tons. A short engagefent between Ger-

War Moves Today!
By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert
British troops now operating on the Libyan side
n border are seeking to consolidate enemy territory by driving against
the port of Bardia, about 10 miles within the Libyan
coast line.
Mr. Mason : ately to press largely on the Italian morale, The main British miles inside the Egyptian desert, ward to Egypt, Cairo and Suez. + To continue ma jor operations into Libya will require new advanced bases in the vicinity of the frontier. The problem of transport, however. has been modified by the capture of Sollum and will be further simplified if Bardia passes into British hands. - These coastal positions permit supplies to be landed from ships, bringing stores and reinforcements from Alexandria. Such an operation would be easier than organizing desert transport; but success would depend on the number of vessels the British have been able to divert for Mediterranean use. If the requirements of Atlantic shipping have compelled curtailment of the British mercantile fleet in the Mediterranean, more time will be required for organizing further pressure against Marshal Graziani. The British, however, apparently have captured great quantities of Italian supplies, and these |F! may be used for supporting to some extent any immediate advance which an opening in. the Italian lines may invite. The next major objective for a continued British offensive, after Bardia, should be the Mediterranean port of Tobruk, about 75 miles west of Bardia. If Tobruk were to fall, the succeeding objective would be the port of Bomba, 50 miles farther west. Operations against these two coastal strongholds would be assisted by British naval bombardments. The distance to be traveled by the land forces is not extensive for me-
With the fall of that stronghold, British warships will have more favorable opportunities to co-operate in strengthening the new front. Whether the British offensive will seek immedi-
farther into Libya should depend
and the facilities for establishing new Brit-
depot is at Mersa Matruh, about 150
termintis of the railway running east-
| henized units, since the ‘roadway within Libya presumably has been strengthened by the Italians for their use. If the Italians were driven out of Tobruk and Bomba, their plight would become precarious. Their main base of Benghazi, about 175 miles farther west would have to be defended at all cost. Its loss would spell complete disaster. But, in defending . Benghazi, the Italians would be fighting with their backs to the Mediterranean. Their only other way of retreat would be southward, into the desert regions and so into 'Tripolitania, the western province of Libya, bordering the French colony of Tunis. The nearer the British are able to press the fighting toward French territory, the more disquietude must develop among the Axis leaders concerning the eventual position of the French North African colonists. Continued defeat of the Italians in Libya should have more influence than any other possible operation at this time to stimulate a renewal of the belligerent spirit among the French. Africans. They know one of Italy’s war Objectives is to acquire a large part f French North Africa and the in would be lost if the Axis should win the war. The British African offensive should give hope to the French of survival in Africa. Thus, if the Italians: are wholly overwhelmed in Libya, French colonial participation in the war right well be brought nearer.
man torpedo boats and a ‘superior force” of British destroyers Sunday night and Monday morning was reported. There was no statement of the outcome except that the Nazi speedboats managed to get away from the enemy force. In Rome the newspaper Messaggero said Germany had built 100 new submarines which she was ready to “throw into action against British shipping.” :
Air War .
Berlin admitted a strong British | raid on the Ruhr city of Mannheim | where considerable civilian damage was reported and charged that British planes dropped bombs on | Basle, Switzerland, in the course of a raid on southern Germany.| Four persons were killed in the Swiss city. The High Command said 10 civilians had been killed and 50 wounded in Mannheim. British planes also attacked the German submarine base at Bordeaux, France, the Ministry ‘said, and daylight raids were made on German airdromes and six metchang vessels off the French coast. One vessel was seen afire and another was observed listing heavily to port, the British claimed. The British lost four airplanes in yesterday’s operations. The Germans raided widely throughout England and made 2a concentrated attack on a northwest. town for half an hour. Bomks struck a movie theater in a working class district and killed or wounded some patrons. Bombs demolished six homes ard an air raid warden’s post in a west Midlands town, trapping members of a gay party which was being held in the post. In London the ‘Air and Home

assured. May Try to Speed Arms
The President scheduled no immediate cenference with Defense Commission members on the press-
widespread indications that he may be about to try to speed up the arms outpat through declaration of an unlimited, national emergency and the delegation of more power to commission members, It was learned that Mr. Hull had expressed his views on the urgency of the production speedup to commission members William S. Knudsen and Edward R. Stettinius Jr., who in turn had passed on the information to an executive board meeting 6f the National Association of Manufacturers in New York Friday. Mr. Hull's outlook on the British situation reflected to a large extent the statements made a few hours before his death by the late Marquess of Lothian, British Ambassador here, who predicted “hard and dangerous” going for his homeland in 1941.
More Cargo Ships Wanted
Mr. Hull told the commission members, it was said, that something must be done at once to increase the production of all types of armaments, with a view to our own requirements as well as those of the British. He was said to be personally interested - in making available for sale to Britain as many American cargo ships as can be spared for the transportation of war supplies. As for financial assistance to Britain, a movement for outright grants of American money to the British was ‘gaining some momentum.
Mrs. Roosevelt. Senator Robert A. Taft (R., O. proposed secured loans, instead, explaining that Great Britain has sufficient assets here to provide satisfactory collateral. But he said outright gifts would be preferable to unsecured loans,
Last Loan Recalled
Great Britain’ borrowed without security during the World War and now is in default of more than $5,000,000,000. Although there is active agitation for repeal of the Johnson Act, which prohibits private individuals or corporations to lend to a defaulter, there is not much evidence that anyone expects private investors or banks would be willing to advance large sums to Great Britain. The British request: for financial aid was revealed yesterday—the day a semi-annual installment of the British World War debt was due. The State Department revealed late last night that Great Britain again had notified this country it would not be able to meet that payment of more than $125,000,000
F. D. R. Continues Conferences
The {twin problems of defense production and greater short-of-war aid to Great Britain are pressing for Presidential action as Mr. Roosevelt continues the series of conferences which began yesterday with Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, Mr, Hull and Chairman, Norman H. Davis of the Red Cross. Mr. Davis’ appearance aroused immediate speculation regarding possible moves to aid unoccupied France and Spain. : Public attention gradually is being focused on somewhat unsatisfactory national defense conditions and that is being accompanied by renewed agitation for appointment of William S. Knudsen or some other. outstanding industrialist— perhaps a leading airplane manufacturer—as chairman of the National "Defense Advisory Commission.
FIVE PERISH WHEN FARM HOME BURNS
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Dec. 17 (U. P.).—Five persons perished today when fire destroyed a home in rural Mineral Point, eight miles north of here. The victims, members of two families, included a. mother and four children. The dead were: Mrs. Ethel Marie Bart ehaught. 24, wife of John Bartlebaugh, and her two children, Myrtle, 4, and John Lewis, 2 months, and two children of Robert Bartlebaugh, a brother of John, Ruth Pearl, 12, and Betty Jane, 5. The fire apparently originated in a kitchen coal stove.

SPLIT DEVELOPS IN STATE 6. 0. P.
Dominate or Cosparale Issue Brings 2 Factions In Legislature.
By NOBLE REED’
Republican leaders attempting to draft legislation to reorganize the entire State Government are running into difficulties that threaten a possible deadlock. The G. O. P. majority leaders of the Legislature, which opens Jan.9, are splitting gradually into two groups—one favoring complete Republican . dominance of the State House‘and the other leaning toward 50-50 compromise with Democratic Governor-elect Henry F. Schricker. Majority leaders two weeks ago announced proposals for bi-partisan control over several state departments to take their functions “out of politics.”
Some Oppose ‘Appeasement’
Since that announcement, however, many Republican leaders have voiced opposition to any ‘‘appeasement” overtures to the Democrats. Speaking for the ‘clean sweep” faction of the G. O. P.,, a Shelbyville newspaper charged that “some Republican leaders have become imbued with the defeatist attitude and are said to be considering a compromise.” The editorial further stated that “there may be those with a bi-par-tisan slant who would be just as happy with compromise, but we. believe the vast bulk will favor taking control of every department save only that of the Governor.”
Caucus Again Today
The majority leaders of the Legislature met yesterday and were to caucus again today on legal recomimendations submitted to them by a committee of attorneys.
The legislators who are struggling]
daily with the problem are Speaker of the House James M. Knapp, Lieutenant Governor-elect Charles M. Dawson, State Senator William
E. Jenner, Senate majority leader,|
and Frank H. Millis, House majority leader. Asked what progress had been made toward reaching an agreement on the reorganization bill, Mr. Millis said: “We don’t know yet.” So it appears that they may be
bickering about who is going to be}
boss of what for many days before the executive picture of the next State administration begins to crystalize.
STATE DRAFT STAFF PRAISED FOR WORK
‘Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national - Selective Service executive, today congratulated the, Indiana Selective Service staff for the successful completion of the first call for Army selectees. In a telegram to Lieut. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, State Draft Director, Mr. Hershey said, “I wish to} take this occasion to congratulate you upon the excellent progress of selective service in Indiana.” Indiana’s first selectees were inducted between Nov. 19 and 25, but replacement of men rejected in the Army physical examinations extended the first call to Dec. 13 when the last man, a Marion County volunteer, was accepted as the 395th inductee. Local officials said that as far as they knew, Indiana was the first state in the country to complete its initial call. The second call for
