Thirty-three German and Italian
tanks have been destroyed or cap.
tured and 24 German planes have
been shot down over the Tobruk
area.
The big attack today waa started
about 2 p. m. Twelve German heavy

suddenly before the denfenders.
Infantry followed the tanks. They
came within 800 yards of the outer
wire through which the tanks had
passed. But the British artillery
opened on them, and they withdrew.
Three of the tanks were knocked
out by anti-tank gun and rifle fire.
An Australian crawled up along the
blind side of a fourth and stuck a
piece of angle Iron In It track.
The siege of Tobruk entered Its
eighth day today. The Italians and
Germans are employing big aerial
bombs, delayed action bombs, 30
ton tanks, armored cars and artil
lery to aid their Infantry in repeated
attacks. No ground has been yield'
ed, however. Life goes on normally
within the defenses and morale Is
high.

Discuss Carving
Of Yugoslavia
Berlin, April 21 (U.R Count Ga
leaaso Clano, Italian foreign min
ister, has arrived In German ter
ritory to discuss with German lead
ers the future of Yugoslav terri
tory, It was said today in reliable
quarters.
Earlier, nazls had made It known
that King Boris of Bulgaria had
visited Adolf Hitler Saturday at the
nasi fuehrer's field headquarters
in the Balkans, and had returned
to Sofia yesterday.
It was assumed that Boris had
discussed the future of Yugoslav
territory.
There have been reports of a con
ference, probably at Vienna, In
which Yugoslavia would be carved
up and divided among its neigh
bors. Hungary and Bulgaria already
have occupied parts of It and a
Croat separatist regime has been
formed.
Nazis refused to say whom Clano
would meet or where meetings
would be held.
It was assumed he would see Jo
achim von Rlbbentrop, nazi foreign
minister, probably outside Berlin.
Well Informed nazls said Clano
would discuss "the boundaries of
the territory formerly covered by
the Yugoslav state; and the politi
cal shape of the new Croat state.

Bonneville objective rates by a
private utility. The reduction is
the largest of three system-wide
rate cuts totaling more than 11,000,
000 made by the Paciflo company

have their initial charge reduced
from $1.50 a month to 95 cents,
after which the top rate will be 4.6

now. For all use above 60 kilowatt
