Ian naval formation! were at
tacked, the RAF announced.
A communique said torpedo
planes attacking from bases In
Africa and Malta scored a num
ber of hits and spread fires on
Italian warships Monday night
Italians Fit
A fascist cruiser of the Trento
class was first set aflame by
bombs and then sunk by an aer
ial torpedo.
The Italian warship then turn
ed northward and throughout
last night "were shadowed as
they returned to base," the com
munique went on, thus clearly in
dicating that the Italians had
broken off the engagement to
: flee.
In the first action, the RAF
said, an Italian naval force in
cluding two battleships and four
destroyers was sighted south of
Taranto, big Italian naval base,
on Sunday evening.
Kept under surveillance, the
force was attacked by allied tor
pedo planes Monday night and
besides the 10,000-ton Trento
class cruiser sent to the bottom,
six-inch cruiser and a destroy
er were known to have been
hit.
In the second action, Monday
doming, another Italian force 01
cruisers and destroyers was at
tacked by British torpedo planes
in the vicinity of Pantelleria. A
cruiser was hit and left in flames,
and a destroyer was "probably
hit," the RAF said.
A German version of the
spectacular sea -air battle, en
tirely different from the Italian
account, said nazi air and naval
forces sank four cruisers and de
stroyers, probably sank another
destroyer and damaged six other
warships In attacks on British
Mediterranean convoys.
' The Germans also asserted
that six merchant ships were
sunk, eight others probably sunk
and six damaged, and implied
that these losses were inflicted
en a west-bound convoy and
were in addition to those report
ed by the Italians.
The fascist version said three
British warships were sunk and
17 other ships sunk, set afire or
damaged.
The whole battle or series of
battles revolved about an appar
ent axis attempt to smash Brit
ish supply lines to Malta and to
North Africa, where the flam
ing desert struggle between
weary British and axis forces
appeared to be nearing a finale.

Strength in soy beans, some mill
buying and reports of a possible
compromise which would give
producers full parity loans on
major agricultural commodities
while granting the Commodity
Credit corporation authority to
sell government owned wheat
for feeding purposes helped all
grain prices to rally today.
Rye, which lagged part of the
time, later was affected and the
gains about equaled those
wheat. Corn held to a narrowly
higher range. The rise in soy
beans was credited to moderate
commission house demand when
