Rome, Aug. 28. (IP) Italian submarines operating in the At lantic have torpedoed and dam aged a large British oil tanker, the Italian high command re ported today. British air raids on Italian po sitions in East Africa were said to have' killed eight colonists and wounded about 40 persons at Gallabat, injured several civ ilians at Mogadisco and wound ed 15 Askari troops at Combol cia. The fascist high command's communique yesterday reported a new attack by British naval forces on the port of Bardia, an air raid on Tobruk, another Libyan port, and an Italian bombing attack on British mot orized forces between the bor der and Sidi Barrani, Egypt, in which three armored cars were said to have been destroyed. The two destroyers which un dertook the attack on Bardia Saturday night were driven off by bombing planes, the high command said, while the Tob ruk raid caused "extremely small" damage and wounded five persons. While Virglnlo Gayda. author itative editor writing in La Voce D'ltalla, warned Britain in ob scure terms of "some new sur prise" she will have to face in "not many more days," author ities reported the latest British direct attack on Italy had caused little damage. Bombing planes which attack ed Piedmont and Ombardy, in the north, on Saturday night were said to have dropped very few bombs, which killed two persons. The planes were re ported put to flight by Italian fighters. (The Swiss government filed a new and "energetic" protest at London against the British raiders' violation of Swiss ter ritory). Fascist officials declined com ment on reports from abroad that Italy Is massing troops on the Greek frontier in order to enforce territorial demands in behalf of Italian-annex Albania. Italian-Greek tension remained high. E E Victoria. B. C, Aug. 26 (IP) Mrs. Anne Francolse Cox, wi dow of Melville James Cox.

NO BAD FAITH BY E Eugene, Ore., Aug. 26 tP) There has been no bad faith in the Waterfront Employers' asso ciation's negotiations for a new contract with the CIO Interna tional Longshoemen's and ware housemen's union, Arbiter Wayne L. Morse ruled Saturday. Delays in collective bargain ing have been no more the fault of the employers than of the unions, Morse declared.

The picture opened yesterday at the Craterian Thea tre, feature attraction on a pro gram that includes one of the always delightful Walt Disney cartoons and a two-reel Tech nicolor subject about Buffalo Bill Cody. In "The Girl From Avenue A" Jane portrays a hungry and homeless Bowery spitfire, tak en to the Park Avenue home of Kent Taylor, a society au thor, in order that he may study her characteristics and speech for a play h is writing. Baffled by the splendor of her new sur roundings, Jano attempts, nev ertheless, to be a lady and the result is highly entertaining. One of the best Disney car toons shown here for some time has Mickey Mouse (seems good to see Mickey again), Donald and Goofy featured In "Tugboat Mickey" with Mickey as the Captain of a tugboat and Don ald and Goofy as his crew. Among the many hilarious ad ventures that befall the trio Is a rescue of a sinking ship. When It's all over, the main casualty Is the radio of the tugboat, which the trio drown. "Pony Express Days" Is one of the finest two reelers ever seen here. This subject, also on Ihe Craterian program, not only has much exciting action depict ing adventures of Buffalo Bill, but also has some of the most spectacularly beautiful scenery ever screencde. Filmed all In Technicolor. It is well worth seeing. Cloalng time for Too Late to Ctaa If Ada la 1 80 p m. Mat JJr tat 3c-.Vie l:ira 36r lai 3C-40C. 4t I? to M-?ne KUJI.. Aiwa.
