after the Greeks asserted they
had wrecked his personally-direct
ed Albanian offensive In a week
of fighting which cost Italy 50,
000 troops.
A Greek sDokesman said last
night that 120,000 fascist soldiers
participated in the series of at
tacks which Greek forces in in-
ferior numbers repulsed. Italian
prisoners, he said, described the
smashing of the Italian push as a
"real massacre.
With German forces massed on
the Bulgarian frontier facing
Greece, a German-language board
cast from Belgrade yesterday as
serted there would be an Italian-
Greek armistice in two davs, but
the German informants said they
doubted this.
Hitler Predicts Victory
II Duce's axis partner, Adolf
Hitler, had some reassuring
words for the Italian leader In a
Memorial day speech Sunday, as
sorting that Germany "from now"
will bear the brunt of the fight
ing against Britain which Italy
has borne all winter.
Hitler predicted "England will
fall" In 1941 and said "no power
and no support coming from any
part of the world can change the
outcome of this battle in any re
spect." Even as he spoVe, Belgrade,
Yugoslavia, reported the landing
in Greece of additional mechaniz
ed British forces. Diplomatic quar
ters In Belgrade said that an
parent nazi hesitation to attack
Greece at once might be due to
anxiety over Russia.
A military expert .lust arrived
at Belgrade from a tour of the
Balkans estimated tonight that 16
nazi divisions perhaps 240.000
men now are massed on or with
in striking distance of Bulgaria's
frontier with Greece.
Authoritative sources said to

NBC report in New York that its
Istanbul reporter, Martin Agroo
sky, sent a radio message List
night that British forces were en
tering Turkey.
A reliable sources said today
Britain had warned Italy and
Germany that RAF bombers
would attack Rome If axis planes
bombed Athens.
The warning was said to have
been conveyed to Berlin and
Rome through Vatican channels,
Nazis Deal Sea Blows
London had a quiet Sunday
with only one alert but waves of
German bombers struck at a town
In western England ' (possibly
Bristol), where the British said
the raiders caused "a number of
casualties" and "considerable
damage."
In sea warfare, the British ad
mlralty announced the submarine
Snapper was overdue and must
be considered lost.
The German high command re
ported Its air force took another
bite out of Britain's sea-borne
commerce yesterday with the
sinking of two armed merchant
men totalling 4,000 tons in the
Atlantic west of Ireland, the prob
able destruction of a 5,000-ton
armed merchantman and damage
to two other freighters totalling
4,(xu tons.
Informed nazls In Berlin also
reported German planes torpedo
ed two British battleships yester
day In the Mediterranean off the
Island of Crete, but the high com
mand made no mention of this.
Liner Bremen Ablaze
din tit uerman official news
agency, reported that a still-
blazing fire had roken out aboard
the 49,864-ton liner Bremen,
which made a dramatic dash
across the Atlantic from New
York early in the war. It did not
give the ship's whereabouts.
There have been many contra
dictory accounts about the liner
some that she had been damaged
or sunk, others that she was bo
ng used as a troop and supply
ship between Germany and Nor
way.
The Germans said their air
raiders last night concentrated at
tacks on Bristol, Avonsmith and
harbor works at Portsmouth, Brit
ain's south coast naval station.

mans as a consular office. The

should bo used for old age pen
sions, while the body of the bill
says it should be used both for
pensions and vocational educa
tion. Bills Slaughtered
In the dying hours the legisla
tors, with frayed nerves, killed
several measures, including bills
to equalize school taxes on a
state wide basis, to tax munici
pal power systems and peoples
utility districts, and to restrict
sale of fortified wines to liquor
stores.
The senate, on the whole, was
orderly, but the house was bois
terous and many members lost
their tempers, causing Speaker
Robert S. Farrell, Jr., to have
trouble keeping order.
The 40-mlll property tax limi
tation resolution, passed by the
house, was buried in the senate
assessment and taxation commit
tee on the lost day.
The house defeated 28 to 27 a
bill to provide for promotion and
advertising of agricultural pro
ducts, while it approved and sent
to the senate a resolution asking
the state liquor commission to in
crease liquor prices as much as
possible to provide more old age
pension revenues.
The legislature and Governor
Sprague were not very close on
wine legislation. The governor
in a message to a member of the
senate opposed sale of wine over
the bar.
Both houses approved a bill
permitting the sale of fruit and
berry wines over the bar. The
governor also asked for re
strictions of fortified wine sales
to state stores. The legislature
did not comply.
