i is reason io believe that the wily Hitler refused to lift a

finger to help his Roman partner until he had received a formal

request. To the Fuehrer this was highly important.

It irked the

Hitler is known to be indifferent to the immediate fate of Italy, as such.

But Hitler cannot afford to allow Italy to be so badly beaten as to menace the Third Reich. And that is what now threatens. Hence the Nazi troops in Trieste, Sicily, and else-

Japan Maps Policies In Face of War Crises

TOKYO, Jan. 15 (U. P.).—Japanese Government and Army leaders moved today to formfilate new policies to meet complications arising from the war in China, Japar’s membership in the German-Italian military alliance and possible spread of the European conflict. For the second successive day Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye met with members of the House of Representatives and the House of Peers

to discuss what the Domei news,

agency said was an “emergency” confronting the Japanese. The nature of the emergency was not defined. The meetings are in preparation for sessions of the Diet later this month. : Gen. Hideki Tojo, War Minister, summoned 13 senior Army chiefs to a conference to explain “the serious-

- ness of the domestic and foreign

situations” and to ask their full support of at least the Army’s policies, the newspaper Nichi Nichi said. The conferences conducted hy Konoye on one hand and by Tojo on the other followed presentation of the aid-to-Britain bill to the United States Congress. Nichi Nichi said that Tojo’s talks were ‘“unprecedented” in the history of the Im-

{perial Army, which always has maintained its rights to play a decisive role in national policy in time of emergency. Germany's continued failure to break Britain's @ resistance, the knocking about being taken by Italy in Albania and North Africa, the stalemate in Japan’s “affair” with China and possibility of embroilment in further difficulty with the United States, especially if Japan should attempt to move southward into the Pacific, were suggested as major factors in the conferences called by Konoye and Tojo. It was considered significant that

AIRPLANE PLANT STRIKE LOOMS

Steel Workers Also Seek More of Defense Money; Try for Eaton Pact.

By UNITED PRESS Labor sought a larger share of defense spending in aircraft and steel industries today and threatened a strike at one West Coast airplane plant to enforce its ‘demands. Workers at the Ryan Aeronautical Co. plant at San Diego, Cal, authorized a C. I. O. United Automobile Workers negotiating committee to call a strike if their de-

met. The authorization mentioned no time limit and union leaders said: they were willing to continue negotiations.

Dewey Conciliates at Detroit

The company, which employs 1200 men for the construction of Army training planes, accused the union of calling for the strike vote after only one day of discussion. At Detroit, Mich., Federal Mediator James F. Dewey sought to reach by nightfall a temporary settlement of a strike that had spread to five plants of the Eaton Manufacturing Co. which manufactures parts and materials for aircraft engines. Mr. Dewey said he had been in-| structed by the National Defense Commission in Washington and the

From Valona

ATHENS, Jan. 15 (U. P.).—-The official Greek radio broadcast a

report today that non-combatdnts

were evacuating both Valona and

Berat, 30 miles northeast of Valona, but there was no indication in

Athens of any break-through.

Reports at Struga, on the Jugoslav border, said that six Greek and British planes bombed Valona gzgain yesterday morning, heavily dam-

aging the port and the northern part of town, killing six and wound-| ing 38 persons. | The planes also bombed an Italfan military camp at Kanina, near Valona, killing two officers and 23 soldiers and wounding 50 soldiers,

According to Struga reports, thej Greek left wing in the coastal sector | below Valona repulsed three Italian counter-attacks in the Kerauniaj mountains, while the right wing; aided by Albanian rebels from the Kur-Veles district, started from] the village of- Vermika, 11 miles] southwest ur Tepelini, and advanced | a mile and a half northwest into]

Possiilities suggested were a move to drive the Italians completely out of Libya arid a simultaneous campaign against Ethi-

Cite Drunk-o-Meter Tests Attorneys for the Cotton Club contended that the persons whom police asserted had been drinking or were intoxicated had received the liquor in their homes or elsewhere than the club. The officers testified they saw no one served liquor in the club but that it was proven by drunk-o-meter tests and other observations that several person involved had been drinking. Defense attorneys said that the Cotton Club had featured a turkey dinner on Christmas Day which accounted for a crowd of approximately 75 persons in the establishment on a day during which it was unlawful to sell liquor.

SWISS RELEASE FRENCH TROOPS

70,000 Interned at Time of Paris’ Collapse; Germany Agrees.

BERNE, Jan. 15 (U. P.).—The Swiss Federal Council announced today that agreement had been reached for the return to their homes of French soldiers interned

here at the time of the. French collapse. Some 70,000 French troops are in Switzerland where they fled at the time of the collapse. : The Federal Council said an agreement has been reached with both France and Germany for the release of the troops. The date when the soldiers will be permitted to go back to their homes was not specified. The troops will be permitted to take their horses with them but all war material will be turned over to Germany under the terms of the Ger-man-French armistice agreement. The disposition of non-French troops interned here will be determined later. >

Mr. Dewey proposed that the 250 | men be returned to work at Saginaw on a temporary basis pending mediation of a final settlement. At Pittsburgh, it was learned that labor contracts between the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (C. I. 0.) and several of the nation’s| steel firms engaged in defense pro-

The narrow waters were thought, in some quarters, to make the Mediterranean a death trap because of assumed advantages to defensive strategy based. on the use of submarines and airplanes.
