I BRITISH BR HOLIDAY INVASION

Troops Wait Order, Commander Nazi Army Warns. (Continued from Page One)

day and night by forces building up to a final attack on the Libyan port: Reports circulated that the Italfans were shifting air force squadrons which had been participating in the bombardment of the- British Isles to Libya to meet the British attack. It was revealed that the R. A. F. made heavy atacks on Tripoli, the biggest Italian base in Libya Dec. 20 énd 21. Two supply ships of 6000 and 3000 tons were reported sunk by Swordfish torpedo-carrying planes.

Fuehrer’s of

Churchill Reaction

There was no formal reply from Italy to Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s appeal yesterday to the Italian people, King and Army to rid -themselves of Mussolini. Quarters, however, called the speech “childish fourth-rate propaganda which does not effect the solidarity and unity of Mussolini's Fascist Italy” and King Victor Emmanuel sent a message to the armed forces assuring them of his trust “in certain Italian victory.” . It was said that the Churchill speech would be published by the Italian press and broadcast by the Italian radio. The British, to make certain’ that an accurate version of the address reaches the Italian public, were said to be planning to drop leaflets

—containing the speech—on Italian|

soil. The German press presented an official DNB agency “report” on the speech, largely consisting of an editorial attack on Churchill for an “impudent attempt to separate Italy from the Duce.”

Air Warfare

In London, it was reported that a new method of dealing with German night bombing planes is meeting with success, and German losses in planes may soon begin growing rapidly. British night fighter patrols have been increasingly successful in downing German planes in the latest few days, it was understood despite a handicap of inky black skies and high winds. It was understpod that the strength of the British patrols would be increased progressively and the Press Association reported that experiments were being made to improve anti-aircraft gunnery and searchlights. The German planes concentrated their attack during the night on an inland Lancashire town, in the northwest of England, and caused heavy material damage. It was believed casualties were light. In London, incendiary bombs started a fire in a big hospital, and several persons were killed when a bomb struck a public house.

Battle of Bardia

The British attack on beleaguered Bardia, which faces a water shortage, was intensified following the arrival of fresh batteries of artillery and re-enforcements of infantry. British men o’ war off the Libyan coast and the British batteries ashore gave Bardia no respite. British shells fell with unerring accuracy upon pillboxes, trenches and gun positions outside and on the fringe of the town, from which stabs of flame from time to time showed the activity of Italian artillery, the United Press correspondent reported. The town itself threw up a pall of yellowish smoke which, with the dust and fumes from British artillery, obscured a flawless blue sky, he said. There was no definite news of a British advance further into Libya, in the direction of Tobruk or Derna. Extensive preparations for supplying desert troops. probably

ITALIAN DESERT FORTS BECOME HEAPS OF RUINS

Land Guns Roar, Warships Move In to Deal Bardia Merciless Attack.

By RICHARD McMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY NEAR. BARDIA, Dec. 24.—2ortions of the abandoned Italian war ma-

aircraft guns—are strewn over, the Libyan desert as Bardia undergoes further merciless fire. Wrecked airplanes litter what once were Italian airdromes. Ft. Capuzzo has been blasted from the earth. Little remains except an’ Italian eagle on a memorial. There was a small hole in its breast. As ‘I write the guns on land are roaring, and out at sea warships are moving up to give Bardia another dose of British naval marksmanship. Leaving the rubble and bricks of what once was Ft. Capuzzo behind me I walked. down a road toward the front line. I spoke to Australians in a small, isolated outpost burrowed in sand beside the road. As we talked a lot of Australian artillery moved up.

Eager to Go Into Action

“We Australians have been waiting a long time to get into this fight,” one said. “We have been sweating on if.” Other Australian units were moving up quickly from the rear to join in the battle for Bardia. I saw long convoys of artillery, tanks and anti-aircraft guns. Every Australian wore a broad smile and gave the “thumbs up” greeting with real gusto. : I had reached the front lines before Bardia after 150 miles of travel by motor car through old British lines in Egypt and then across 60 miles of what had been no-man’s-land. I traveled an almost trackless desert through thick clouds: of sand. First there were the ruins

rof Sidi Barrani and then.of Sollum.

Sollum Is Heap of Ruins

Sollum was a heap of ruins. Every house showed signs of the deadly accuracy of British naval gunfire. Ruined walls still carried inscriptions in praise of Premier Benito Mussolini, Italy and King Victor Emmanuel. There were no civilians left in Sollum. But there were plenty of British troops. They looked as if they had been working in a flour mill, so coated they were with desert sand. A well-known peer of the realm, another American war corresporident and I bathed in the sea before the ruins of Sollum. From Sollum we took the road leading over the desert escarpment and crossed from Egypt into Libya.

GUNMEN GRANTED TRIAL CONTINUANCE

Two gunmen who led police on a wild chase Dec. 6 on E. Washington St. were given a continuance in Criminal Court yesterday. They are charged with robbery. and kidnaping. The men, Harold Higgie and Alex Martin. robbed the Colonial Finance Co, 115 E. Michigan St., of $199. They commandeered a taxicab and were captured; 20 minutes later by police after a 60-mile-an-hour running gun battle. Harold C.

Legless Air Chief Gets British DFC

LONDON, Dec. 24 (U. P.).—The Distinguished Flying Cross was awarded today to Douglas Bader, a legless squadron leader, who has shot down 10 German air raiders and damaged several more. He lost both legs in an accident in ‘1931. He already had his “wings,” and though he was invalided out of the flying service, he learned to manipulate metal legs so skilfully that he was readmitted in November, 1939. Last September he won the distinguished service order for leading his squadron into three battles in which 33 raiders were destroyed, of which Bader himself accounted for six.

SPEEDUP IS DUE FOR MUNITIONS

Defense Officials Prepare New $700,000,000 Program to Double Output.

0 WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (U. P)). —National defense officials are today preparing a new $700,000,000 program for doubling the production of munitions. The plan developed by War Department experts is designed to meet the demands of our own defense program and increasing de-

-mands for short-of- -war aid from

Great Britain. -It includes, it was learned, plans for 35 huge new munition plants, most of which would be located between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. They would be able to furnish, it was estimated, munitions for an army of 4,000,000 men, whereas the existing program is predicated on a 2,000,000-man army. The new program was understood to include: 1. A request to the new Congress for about $500,000,000 to finance construction of 15 new plants. 2. Utilization of about $200,000,000 of funds available for ordnance and other purchases to build about 20 smaller plants not originally scheduled. This part of the program is based on the assumption that it is more important to enlarge production channels than to place orders in the_over-worked existing field. Aircraft expansion contracts, including engines, are estimated at $28,000,000. .It does not include $969,000,000 let in contracts since last summer by the War Department for 19,000 planes from 15 companies.The Gage expansion program thus far has totaled $3,500,000, and plans are being made to place about $20,000,000 for increasing machine ool

facilities in 20 firms.

Noblesville Nervous About New Industry; Who Is Henderson?

American organization we might use pressure of public opinion.” “But I'm not saying what this thing’s all about—I don’t know and as far as we know it may be a perfectly legitimate thing—but it does sort of look like there must be some fire what with all the smoke— doesn’t it?” ~ Meanwhile, the citizens are talking and reading about the “mystery”

taken time out to drive down to the west side to see workmen renovating the. abandoned box factory which will house the “Fellowship Press.” None .of the town officials has had any contact with Mr, Losey.

Charges Papers Unfair

Mr. Losey came out of a restaurant, smoking a cigar and looking dapper. hands and said: “I have no statement to make other than that the newspapers have been unfair and I reiterate that neither D. C. Stephenson nor the Silver Shirts have a thing to do with this. I'm not going to say anything else.” “Who is this Mr. Henderson with the goatee who was around the plant the other day?” Mr. Losey was asked. “Now, now—I told you I wasn’t going to say anything else.” * Mr. Pelley, the Silver Shirt leader, has a goatee . “Well, who is Agnes Marian Henderson, in whose name the Fellowship Press was incorporated?” “There you go asking questions again,” replied Mr. Losey. “If the newspaper. will just wait until the first issue of the magazine is print- = then you can see for yourself.”

More Equipment On Way

"The first issue is expetced to be off the press within two weeks. The company won't do job printing, it will just publish books and the magazine. Mr. Losey told a Noblesville publisher. The purchase of the box factory and Pelley printing equipment came after Mr. Losey failed in an attempt to buy the Noblesville Times, a weekly newspaper. More printing equipmetn is said to be on the way from Chicago and other points and while workmen are busy putting the box factory into shape, Noblesville citizenry watch and wait—wait to see the first issue of the magazine—wait to see if this little town has become headquarters for a fascist organization or just the fortunate recipient of a new business which would bring new money into town.

GREEKS’ JOY AS CHIMARA FALLS TOLD BY WOMAN

Writer Listens to 48-Hour Barrage Which Makes Her Ears Ache.

Mary Merlin, an Anglo-Greek, ‘only woman reporter at the Greek fighting lines, describes the fall of Chimara,

By MARY MERLIN United Press Staff Correspondent CHIMARA, Albania (Via Athens), 2 A. M,, Dec. 23 (Delayed) (U. P).— When I reached this front on horse-

‘Iback Greek artillery was pumping

shells into Chimara from three directions; six Italian warships offshore were blasting at the Greeks. aided by heavy shore batteries which had been turned inland, and the sky was dotted with, bombing and ma-chine-gunning Italian airplanes, In this roaring inferno, the Italians were evacuating the town, commandeering everything on wheels to move the men and equipment, and leaving a rear guard of more than 1000 men, whom the Greeks eventually captured. The denouement came at dusk

‘Sunday night and I watched it from

a gun emplacement on a hilltop overlooking Chimara and the shining Adriatic beyond.

: Breathless 15 Minutes

An armored car flying a huge Greek flag approached the town slowly from the north. As it proceeded, Greek cavalrymen popped up in the hills on both sides of the road, trotted down and fell in behind the car. At the edge of town the cavalry halted. The armored car went on into the deserted streets, to determine if it was safe to occupy the town. There was a breathless, 15- minute interval, then the car came back. The gun turret was open and the gunners were waving happily. Chimara had fallen. The capture seemed anti-climactic to me, after the 48-hour barrage that preceded it, but the gunners around me were wild with joy.

Rides Nine Miles on Horse

I rode nine miles on a horse to reach the front and every few minutes the road ahead and behind me was bombed and machine-gunned by Italian planes in arrow-head flights of seven each. I passed magnificent mountain gorges that would have delighted tourists, and where, the Greeks said, a handful of determined Italians could have held off an army. It was my initiation to ‘front line warfare and long before I reached the Greek guns the roar of battle made me grind my teeth. Explosions made my ears ache, until one of the artillerymen handed me a piece of wood and said: “Bite this hard when the bombs drop and your ear drums won’t hurt.” I bit hard and did a bit of praying too, and it all seemed to help. The gunners had towels wrapped around their faces to prevent frost bite. They looked like H. G. Wells’ fictitional *Tnvisible Man.”

made by Marshal Graziani. His complaint that his early defeat in the fighting was due to lack of mechanized units cannot be remedied. | The British fleet can prevent new supplies from reaching Graziani in large quantities from the homeland. So long jas that condition prevails, the Italian troops in Libya must be regarded as being bottled up. Sooner or later, their power must disintegrate. Their air force has been unable to prevent what Grazjani described as a “massacre” caused by British fliers. Scarcity of oil, caused by the British fleet's command over Mediterranean trade routes should continue to hamper Italian air operations and such mechanized units as Graziani may possess. | The British Prime Minister’s confidence in the African situation thus would seem to have warrant. Not only in Libya, but also in all the Italian areas of Africa, the defending forces are isolated. When their supplies on hand become exhausted, the end may not be far off. How the British can come to closer grips ‘with the Italians may concern events in Albania. The British have shown they can move their fleet at will into the Adriatic, which so narrowly separates Albania from the Italian mainland. Whether an actual invasion of Italy is contemplated, the British will not reveal until the time is ripe. realm of possibilities that such an operation is in Churchill's mind.
