THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES’
a Says Invasion of Britain Is Emminent
(Continued from Page One)
month when there is usually a period of 7 to 12 days when weather conditions are good. At the sanie time the winter tides are at their lowest. At the same time London underwent a much heavier daylight air attack than has been felt for some time. Numerous raiders dropped high explosive bombs which crashed into two London hospitals during the afternoon. All patients were reported safe but three hospital staff members were seriously injured when the wing of one hospital collapsed. Three persons were killed and two injured when high explosive demolished two shops. Dwellings, offices and a block of flats also were among buildings destroyed or damaged. Bombs also were reported to have fallen in an East Anglian town where a Congregational chapel was demolished. Dwellings were damaped and one woman was reported illed.
Three Alarms During Day
There were three London air alarms during the day, the final one lasting until almost dusk. The Germans made the same sort of raids on Britain yesterday and today the Nazi High Command said that a “rolling attack” had been made in which attention was cenon airfields, anti-aircraft gun bat eries, troop concentrations and
The German press hailed Hitlers speech. as promising a certain victory in 1941. The newspapers. believed that spring would bring the decisive offensive and that ‘the initial phase would be a submarine campaign of unprecedented ferocity. The British campaign against Marshal Rodolfo’ Graziani’s army of “terribili” in Libya moved into what seemed likely to be its final phase. Two British columns advanced on Benghazi, sole remaining Italian base
in eastern <tibya. One column smashed down the coastal road after overcoming strong Fascist resistance at Derna. Some 10,000 Italian troops were believed to be falling back on Benghazi ahead of the British column. A second British thrust was over the Libyan plateau on the rough cross-country road leading straight to Benghazi. Some British forces are believed to have reached the immediate vicinity of Benghazi but they are presumed to be light scouting detachments. Benghazi is believed to be defended by some 50,000 Italian troops, about half of the force remaining to Graziani who started the campaign with an army of 250,000.
Expect Benghazi to Resist
The other 50,000 Libyan troops are believed to be in far west Libya protecting Tripoli and deployed along the Tunisia frontier where Gen. Maxime Weygand's French African forces watch the ItaloBritish struggle with intense interest. In command of the defense of Benghazi, it is believed, is Gen. Annibale (Electric Whiskers) Berzonzoli who escaped when the British took Bardia. . The British anticipate a stiff pattle for Benghazi and are rushing their drive in an attempt to close in before decisive aid can be rendered by German air force reinforcements. ’ Other developments included: Authorized German quarters said that a long range German bomber today attacked and sank two enemy steamers, one of 5000 tons and another of more than 5000 tons. One ship was said to have sunk 100 miles off the Hebri while the other was said to haye gone down 250 miles fro The Rome Dress, Hitler's speech, said/ he had made it: plain that U., S/ aid could not now save Britain The Greeks reported success in
Fair Grounds, The Policeman and Mr. Lee pulled up. the
“What'll we do now?” policeman asked. Miss Henie looked at her watch. Mr. Wirtz surveyed the traffic snarl. Mr, Lee said: “Lets go north and go in the north gate.” '. The policeman said “Okay” but apparently misunderstood. When the party reached 40th St. which was icy and not preferential, he went east at quite a pace. Mr. Lee was very uneasy about it, both because of hitting those patches of ice once’in a while and because his conscience hurt him. 3 2 8 » /
. “AFTER ALL,” he explained, “I'm chairman of the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Safety, and I'm supposed to practice what I preach.” So, while Miss Henie and her ‘ mother were apparently ‘enjoying the ride, Mr. Lee honked his horn: as a signal for the policeman to slow down. Again misunderstanding, the policeman thought the signals were intended for more speed and he accordingly went faster. At each intersection he would blow the siren and hold up his hand as if to hold back. traffic. At 40th ahd Broadway another car -went into a skid at the intersection and Mr. Wirtz gripped the arm rest and said:
Sonja Almost Misses Own Show as Car Skids on Ice
(Continued from Page One)
“Look out, Wallace. We're gone.” Miss Henie screamed. Her mother screamed. Mr. Lee applied the brake and the accelerator at one and the same time and had visions of winding up in some one’s lawn, or worse, in the side of the other car. But the speed of the other car was spent in the slide and the two cars came to a stop, just touching each other, side by side in the street.
” ” ” AFTER SOME SEMBLANCE of calm had been restored, and the policeman had returned to the scene, a little skittery, Miss Henie gave a long sigh of relief and said: “Show or no show. We're going slow from here on.” From there on to the Fair Grounds, the motorcycle escort stopped at every intersection and the Lee car did not enter any intersection without a sign that all was clear. The party pulled up at the Coliseum at 8:23 p. m. “Well,” said Miss Henie, who had completely recovered her composure, “we had quite a thrill.” Mr. Lee said he was sorry and asked if she felt able to go on with the show and she assured him she was. “I've got to go now,” she said and disappeared into the building.
A few minutes later she was on the ice.
