The Italians, en- trenched strongly at both points, were_said to have resisted fiercely before they were overwhelmed by British mechanized forces and in- fantry. While the battle surged around these two key points, British armor- ed units were reported to have made a series of swift thrusts into the surrounding territory, harassing Italian lines of communication. The fact that the British reported capturing a number of grounded Italian aircraft at Salum was taken here as an indication that Grazi- ani's forces were disorganized badly under steady pounding the past week. There was no official mention of the capture of additional Italian prisoners to swell the total of about 30,000 the British estimated they had taken from the outset of their offensive through the fall of Sidi Barrani. ported to have had about 250,000 British believe not more than 100,- 000 have been involved directly in the current fighting. Sweeping Over Desert With the British forces at Salum, Dec. 17 (CP)--British armored units are sweeping over the desert, west of Bardia, in an attempt to encircle that Italian base in Libya following the capture of Salum and Fort Ca- puzzo. The last remnants of the Italian army have be>n driven from Egyp- tian soil under heavy British fire. The Italians abandoned Salum and retired across the frontier into Libya, five miles west, The British promptly occupied this westernmost Egyptian port and then continued to carry the fight to the Italians, moving across the bor- der to seize Fort Capuzzo, south of Bardia. The Italians are reported to have large forces at Bardia, on the coast 15 miles fromm Berder including troops which have retreated from Egypt, and apparently striving to make a stand there. In the opinion of British officers how long they can hold out will de- pend on whether the Italian troops could be rallied after the Egyptian rout. Bardia already was 'been bombed heavily from the sea and alr. Brit- ish armored units west of the town reported they had destroyed Italian trucks, tractors and tanks, but it was uncertain yet whether they had wholly cut off communications be- tween Bardia and Tobruk farther to the west. These armored units were subject- ed to dive bombing as they were at- tacked by Itailan planes, Italian General Berdi, in com- mand at Bardia, and General Ber- gonzoli, whom British soldiers have dubbed "General Electric Whiskers," were also reported there, issuing ex- hortations to Fascist troops. Gen. Bergonzoli is said to be popular with the men and is known for his abil- ity to rouse them with stirring words.

She bought the dresses yes- terday after selecting several for approval during a shopping trip last Saturday. The duke played golf yesterday with Gene Sarazen, former British and United States open champion, and Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va., who displayed a par-cracking exhibition, Snead, having one of his good days, scored a six-under-par 65. Sarazen, who had met the duke in England. gave the duke a "play- ing lesson," working especially on the short game. The duke, after changing to a shorter grip for pitch shots, scored an 88 that included two pars. His 10-foot putt on the final green squared the match, in which he was paired with Sarazen against Snead, who played alternately with the duke's aide, Capt. Vyvyan Dru- ry, and a friend, Capt. Alastair Mackintosh. POLICE CASUALTIES London, (CP)--Since the intensive air attacks on London began in Sep- tember, 78 men of the 35,000 strong metropolitan police have been killed by enemy action and 414 injured.

Since armament aid to Britain depends on the speed of domestic defence production, the expectation was that this field of assistance would receive executive attention before the matter of financial sup- port. The fact that Britain had made a formal request for financial aid was disclosed last night by an au- thoritative source. Few details were 'available on the nature of the re- quest, The request was understood to look toward assurances of future financial help in obtaining war sup- plies here. Britain, it was indicated, seeks a "line of credit," probably involving her security holdings and gold assets, rather than a straight loan. The word * "was not ac- curate for sthe st, official sources said. A Knudsen; deterice commission pro- duction chief who has been dinning the need for speed-up in recent ut- terances, reiterated in letters made public that a faster around-the- clock pace was "desperately needed" for "the welfare of our country." Senator Wairen Austin of Ver- mont, acting Republican leader, fol- lowed up Knudsen's comments to- day by advocating a readjustment of government '€ontracts to finance a six-day week for defence industries. A consistent supporter of the British aid policy, Austin told news- men it séemed obvious that indus- tries. would have to work longer thafl the prevailing 40-hour week if they were to overcome certain "bot- tlenecks" hampering defence pro- duction. "As a citizen and taxpayer," he said, "I stand ready to pay for it. Labor ought to get time-and-a-half for overtime and the government | ought to modify its contracts -- if that is necessary--to permit con- | tractors to pay it and still make a Suggestions that President Roose- velt proclaim a complete national emergency found™o favor with Aus- tin or Senator Robert Taft (Rep. Ohio) as a means of accelerating production. Austin said he thought installa- tion of the six-day week, if coupled with what he called some relaxation of government regulations on indus- try, would accomplish the desired result. Taft said if the president needed any specific new powers in the de- fence field, they should be granted. Pointing out that a "limited" emer- gency has been in effect more than a year, he asserted that increasing it to a "full" emergency '"wouldn'l mean anything." President William Green of the American Fedération of Labor in a speech last night rejected any charges that his organization had not been co-operating to the fullest, "giving service, patriotic service of the highest order, industrial service the like of which this country has never before seen." Although defending the right to strike and announcing unwielding federation opposition to any emer- gency effort to outlaw defence in- dustry strikes, Green said his organ- ization felt "a solemn duty" to avoid such walkouts, and would abide by that belief, Chairman Halton Sumners (Dem., Texas) of the House of Representa. tives judiciary committee, voicing his views on the floor yesterday, ap- pealed for a united people "to win through the difficulties which now confront us." "In this controversy between what we. call labor and capital," he said, "unfortunately each one is trying to take advantage of the situation. I do not mean the whole rank and file of them. If this country does not win through, there will not be any social gains for Labor to fight over and no pride of property for the owners of factories to fight over." The house also heard Representa- tive Clare Hoffman (Rep. Michi- gan) attack Sidney Hillman, the de- fence commission's labor specialist. Hoffman charged that Hillman considered it "more important that the demand of labor be met than it is that we have national defence." London, Dec. 17 (CP)--Diplomatic negotiations on the subject of Unit- ed States war aid for Britain re- ceived almost as much attention in the London press today as news of the drive of British armed forces into Libya. Newspapers featured Washington accounts of the British request for American help and filled editorial columns with comment. The Daily Sketch painted the sit. uation in a satiric fable labelled "The Careful Eagle," and drew the moral that "it is a strange kind of help that must be called for each time like a furniture van." The Daily Telegraph, in a long article headed "The Awakening of America," assured its readers that "realization is growing there (in the United States) that the issue of this war is a vital interest not only of this country, but of America ., ."

Celebrated Painting Stolen in El Paso El Paso, Tex, Dec. 17--(AP)-- Raffaelino Del Garbo's "Madonna and Child", one of the celebrated paintings in the 8, H. Kress collec- tion, was stolen Sunday night from the University of Texas College of Mines Museum in El Paso, it was revealed last night. The masterpiece, and four others from the Kress collection, were placed on exhibit in El Paso a week ago. Museum officials discovered a window pried open in the rear of the building. They said the paint- ing was insured. BRITISH BOMBS BELIEVED CAUSE OF SWISS DEATHS Mistook Blacked-Out City in Switzerland For Nazi Goal Basel, Switzerland, Dec. 17 (AP)-- The Swiss government sought to de- termine from an examination of bomb fragments and official reports today the nation responsible for an air attack which killed four persons, injured many others and caused ex- tensive property damage in this city during the nigat. Pending the findings, Swiss as- serted they believed British raiders had mistaken the blacked-out city on the German border for one of their Nazi objectives. In months past they pointed out, British planes had flown over Switzerland en route to and from Italy, and several Swiss protests were sent to London. Bombs previously had been dropped in the vicinity of Geneva and on a railway near Lake Constance. One bemb in the raids last night tore through the central railway sta- tion, but there were no casualties. A woman was killed as she ran across Winkelried Square toward an air raid shelter. Three other persons were killed in the suburb of Din- inger, An alarm sounded soon after the airplane motors were heard. The all-clear did not come for more than an hour. German anti-siseraft fire from across the Rhine joined in the din. BRITISH BLOCKADE PROVES REALITY 3 land, Which Is Surround- ed by Gangsters Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 16 Though outwardly Switzerland gives the impression of being a well-to-do land of plenty in the midst of neighbors forced to priva- tion by the war, it is woefully lack- ing in raw materials. In fact, economic experts consider the situation "really alarming" with regard to supplies of several im- portant necessities. The nation is almost wholly de- pendent upon imports for raw ma- terials. Wool, cotton, coal, oil and metals are not produced in Swit- zerland at all. The supply of fats and hides must be built up from imports, too, to a large extent. These commodities are the basis for several important Swiss Indus- tries and their curtailment by the war may cause a serious reaction on the whole of Switzerland's economy, The motor car industry, employ- ing some 40,000 persons, has béen virtually paralyzed by the lack of petroleum. An attempt was made during 1939 to build up reserves of oil, but there was not sufficient storage capacity to last under con- ditions of nearly complete blockade which now prevail . Gasoline is strictly rationed, but even this is not expected to prevent the sup- plies from running short. The lack of leather, of which Switzerland imported more than 6,500 tons in 1939, has caused the government to declare an embargo on the sale of shoes in the country, and has curtailed the export of shoes. Last year Swiss exports of shoes amounted to about 9,000,000 pairs. The nation's exports of finished metal products during 1939 were valued at approximately $125,000,- 000, and shipments of finished tex- tiles were worth $45,000,000. Both these industries have been seriously crippled by the lack of imports of raw materials. Red Shelter Chiefs Spreading Discontent London, Dec. 17--(CP)--A Scot- land Yard report to the home of- fice said today that alleged Coma munists had posted agents in yn. derground shelters in attempts to undermine the British morale, The report said that several Com- munists had obtained appointments as shelter marshals. 'It added that several hundred leaflets attacking the government had been distributed.

Weygand, former Allied comman- der-in-chief and now commander of French forces in North Africa, was said to be following Vichy events closely. But if he was in constant touch with Petain, as diplomatic reports said, there was little external sign of it at Vichy. Many observers have been com- paring Weygand's present position in North Africa with that of Italy's position of potential menace when France was fighting for her life in Flanders. The tables, they said, now are turned. Italy's troops are hard- pressed by Greek forces in Albania and by the British along the Egyp- tian-Libyan border. At Italy's back in Africa stands Weygand with a strong, well-armed force of French colonial troops untouched by the war, To Hold Tight Military and diplomatic obser- vers, however, considered it unlike- ly that Weygand intends to do more than hold tight in France's North African possessions for the present --particularly so long as Petain rules in Vichy. Nonetheless, diplomatic reports indicated Weygand looms large among the reasons why Berlin may think twice before occupying the rest of France, or forcing Petain to step down from the post of chief of state. Flandin, sad-faced former pre- mier who stepped into Laval's for- eign ministry post with a reputa- tion for desiring French-German collaboration, has a tough job, di- plomatic officials here believe, Since 1936, when his appeal for collective action against Germany for occupation of the Rhineland met no response in Britain, he was thumped almost alone for his French-German understanding. The big question in Vichy during the Abetz talks was reported here as whether the German govern- ment could get Petain's promise to back up Flandin's policies, Germany need no such promise from Laval, who also was vice- premier and as such wielded powers delegated to him by Petain. Flandin, however, has no such power now, sithough it was report= ed from Vichy that Petain, after talking to Abetz, might give it to him. Abetz Meets Petain Vichy, France, Dec. 17 (AP). -- Otto Abetz, Hitler's afhbassador to France, met today Marshal Petain at the French Chief of State's home in the first of a series of conferences believed momentous for France. Is Felt in Neutral Switzer- | Abetz was escorted frem his hotel | to Petain's residence by French | army motorcyclists, followed by a | touring car full of German offic- | ers 5. The German ambassador's guard of uniformed German soldiers armed with automatic rifles, which accompanied him to his hotel last night when he reached Vichy, did not go with him today. Silent, scattered group of French saw him leave the hotel 'and watched as his escort passed | through the streets. Foreign Minister Pierre-Etienne | Flandin, who succeeded Pierre La- val in the Petain government, was reported ill with a slight attack of grippe, but it was considered prob- able he would take part in the dis- cussions. Since Petain already had made clear that Laval's resignation Sat- urday did not change the govern- ment's policy of collaboration with Germany, French sources said it remained for Abetz to indicate the German attitude toward Flandin. With a guard of three carloads of tall German soldiers, all con- spicuously bearing automatic rifles, Abetz arrived last night for the conversations. French police, mobile guards and plainclothesmen all stood guard ar his hotel. GREEKS CONVERGE ON VALUNA PORT FROM TWO LINES (Continued from Page 1) counter-attacks against Greek posi- tions on the heights. In the Dvinos valley, Italians fell back after suffering heavy losses and leaving 200 soldiers and one senfor officer captives of the Greeks, he said. The vrisoners were identified as members of the Modena division. Dispatches from Associated Press correspondents with the Greek ar mies on this front and in the north ern battle zone near the Yugoslav frontier said the Greeks were push- ing rélentlessly ahead despite freez- ing temperatures, snowdrifts into which men sank to the armpits, and hazardous systems of supply over icy mountain tralls. On the northern front, where the Greeks are driving toward the mid. Albanian base of Elbasani from the mountains near Lake Ochrida on the Yugoslav frontier, Italian posi- tions were being shelled with am- munition taken from captured Ital- ian supplies. Although the Greeks have pushed beyond Pogradetz, at the southern end of the lake, one Italian force was said to he holding out on a mountain top nearby, encircled by OSHAWA AND VICINITY TRAFFIC CONGESTION In order to relieve traffic conges- tion during the noon hour in the vicinity. of the General Motors fac- tory and office it has been announc- ed that the office staff, many of whom drive cars, will remain on their jobs until 12:15 p.m. and will return to work 15 minutes later than the factory workers.

Gora, transient, pleaded guilty in police court this morning on two charges, one of being intoxi- cated in a public place and another of vagrancy. Gora was reléased from the county jail where he had served a three month term only a few days ago. Gora claimed that he was only passing through town on his way to Toronto, "You ge always going somewhere but never in the right direction," commented His Worship, Magistrate Ebbs before he sentenced accused to a fine of $50.00 and costs or one month on the first charge and one month without option on the second charge. Gora will serve the two sentences consecutively. SPECIAL APPEAL STOP ACCIDENTS "Keep Christmas Happy" LA.P.A, Suggests as Slogan Toronto, Dec. 16--Some people will be happier this Christmas for things not bought--gauze, splints, adhesive, anaesthetics--say the In- dustrial Accident Prevention Asso- ciations. Need for these things can come in [ $0 many ways that it's hard to make sure they really are checked off your "Christmas list." "Keep Christmas Happy" is a slogan suggested by the organiza- tion in a special appeal to prevent accidents at Christmas time. From candles on Christmas trees to lack of enough care in driving or walking, accidents this Christmas may spoil the holiday season for families of the injured. Besides, little accidents mount up to propor- tions which can seriously affect Canada's war effort. Bad weather, more hours of dark- ness, and the Christmas rush all make 'for dangerous traffic. To thwart these, the LAP.A, suggest: 1. Don't drive if you drink. 2. Balance bad weather and dark- ness with less speed and r.iore care. Start earlier and go jnore slowly. 3. Don't let the ihe and bustle make you impati if you get caught in a jam. try to make up the few minutes you lose. Take it easy.

Science Says That Steady-Eyed Poker Player May Be Bluffer : Hamilton, N.Y., Dec. 17--(AP)-- In the next poker game, try being suspicious of the player with the steady-looking eyes. He is likely to be the fellow who is bluffing, Or, in the more serious game of life, look for that kind of eye in the person you suspect of deceitful ness and lying. This goes contrary to the common belief that a deceitful person has shifty eyes. The belief may be true for professional crooks, but some new eye tests by Dr. Frederick K. Berrien, Colgate University psychol- ogist, show that about 75 per cent of ordinary persons steady their eyes when trying to deceive. Forty persons have taken the tests. Half of them committed a "laboratory crime." The other half were innocent. The crime consisted either of killing a rat in the labore atory or sneaking out to commit a fictictous burglary. Both gullty and innocent were questioned as suspects in one or the other of the misdeeds. They were quizzed while in front of an oph- thalmograph, an instrument which makes a photographic record of eye movements. While answering questions, the suspects were instructed to fix their eyes on a black point on a white card, and to hold the eyes as steady as possible. The involuntary eye movements while answering questions, whether bluffing or truthfully, showed noth- ing that would betray lies. But the clues appeared when, af- ter the questioning, the suspects were subjected to one minute's silence. Before this minute, they were given one minute to rest their eyes. Then for the following minute they again fixed the eyes steadily on the point, while the ophthalm- MARITIME COLLEGES MAY RESUME SPORTS ACTIVITY Halifax, Dec. 17.--Maritime col- leges may stage some intercollegiate athletic competition this winter if plans laid at a meeting of the Maritime Intercollegiate Union here over the week-end materialize.
