10 THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1940. SECTION I Nazis Arrest Greeks Tell of Amazing Advances Raider Flees After Battle From British Ship In South Atlantic Made By Forces Aiming Mexico May Get U.S. Destroyers Exchange For Naval Bases Believed Talked Press Demands Naval Shakeup i iiii.iiimi i i cruisers for the most part converted passenger liners are said to be armed with guns capable of a range of 20,000 yards, making it possible that the encounter between the Carnarvon Castle and the raider occurred at a range of seven to ten mlies. The battle brought talk in London of a shakeup in the British Navy's High Command to cope with Germany's destruction of British shipping, but there was no indication anything would be done. With British ships going down at the rate of 4,000,000 tons a year, the protection of the sea routes and the acquisition of new tonnage has become Britain's most urgent problem more acute than the German aerial "blitz" against Britain.

New Sea Lord Demanded. Parliament and the press are demanding more energetic counter-measures and newspapers Friday forecast a shakeup which will replace Sir Dudley Pound as first sea lord with a younger man. A. J. Cummings, writing in the News-Chronicle, said "There are very able naval officers who are severely critical of what they deem to be stereotyped, out-of-date and incorrect Admiralty methods of mastering the sea menace.

"Many of them think the timw has come when Sir Dudley Pound should go into honorable retirement and thereby enable A. V. Alexander, as First Lord of the Admiralty, to choose an appropriate successor." Rebuilt Liner a Norwegian freighter, the Tropic Sea, and put the Britons aboard her. The Tropic Sea was scuttled seventy days later by her German prize crew when a British submarine accosted her off Bordeaux. The Britons were rescued by the submarine.

It seemed unlikely that there had been op portunity in the meantime for the transfer of the twenty-two. Several Nazi sea raiders have been reported in action at widely separated points in the North and South Atlantic recently. Britisher's Speed 20 Knots. The speed of the Nazi raider was indicated by the fact that the Carnarvon Castle, unless crippled by enemy action, was capable of a speed of about twenty knots. Britain's armed auxiliary Nazi Raider Is (Continued from First Page.) crew, but acknowledged that it comprised more than 300 men.

"She slipped out of Hamburg April 6 while the British navy was rushing to Norway to fight the German invasion there," he said. "My ship was her first victim." On June 18 the raider captured fetes i Good Food In I i7 I.ikf Our WINTER CURB SERVICE With Our Acic IN-THE-CAR TRAYS Badoglio Loses Army Command (Continued from First Page.) frontier, it was reported that the Greeks had driven to within eleven miles of Elbasani and that they were only eight miles from the vital Ochrida-Elbasani road the main route to Tirana. Greek spokesmen told of what appeared to be amazing advances by the two Greek forces driving toward Elbasani from the south west and the south. One column pushed along the Shkumbi River valley above captured Pogradetz through the Kami heights, where 500 prisoners were reported taken. The second force, pushing up from the Moskopolis region, was reported making steady progress through the Devoli valley.

Greek newspaper dispatches from the front before Elbasani said "thousands of 7 prisoners" were arriving behind the Greek lines from the Moskopolis sector, including many officers. These officers were quoted as saying that the Italian High Command had ordered that any officer found retreating be shot immediately. Hulk of Destroyer Found. In the harbor at Porto Edda, the Greeks reported, was found the hulk of an Italian destroyer said to have been smashed by British bombing planes upon its arrival to take off Italian staff officers. The Greeks made a belated but welcome discovery in Koritza, the first important Italian-held city captured in their counter-invasion, it was learned.

Several thousand tons of war equipment and munitions, 50 per cent of which can be used immediately against the Italians, was found stored underground there. No reason was given in Rome for the resignation of the bald, somewhat pudgy Badoglio, other than that it was "at his own request." Foreign circles were not too surprised, however, after the criticism leveled at the marshal's conduct of the Greek campaign by the newspaper of Roberto Farinacci, outspoken Fascist. This newspaper. Regime Fas-cista, said recently that Italian victory in Greece was certain, despite "some improvidence and untimeliness on the part of the head of the General Staff." The Italian reverses have been laid in some quarters to over-confidence and lack of preparation. New Impetus Expected.

Cavallero is expected by Fascists to inject a new impetus into the campaign. Observers believe he will carry- out faithfully the orders of II Duce, who has declared he will "break the back of Greece" if it takes a A further reorganization of the forces in Albania may first be expected from this general, who helped Mussolini make over the Italian military machine in 1925. Many, however, believe the Warehouse Blaze Hurts Two Firemen Loss Set At Blast Hits Refinery Injury to two firemen and damage estimated at approximately $7,500 resulted from two fires Friday. Capt. Chester Browning and Pvt.

Edward Sacrey suffered hand burns and cuts in a blaze at 6:45 p.m. at the Oil Equipment Manufacturing Company warehouse at 312 Montana. Fire Department officials said sparks from a bonfire on an adjacent lot caused the blaze. The company's secretary, William F. Schaetzly, who said the warehouse contained $3,000 worth of gasoline pumps, estimated the damage at $4,500.

An explosion at 4 p.m. that sent a burst of flame out of the front of the Sure-Lube Refinery, 133 Bullitt, caused damage estimated at $3,000 by the owner. Ben Redmann, 523 Lilly. He said the blast, which tore out windows at the front and back, was caused by a defective air pressure filter. No one was injured by the flame, which flashed across the sidewalk into the street.

U. S. Embassy Clerk In Paris Case Parallels That Of Nurse Edith Cavell (Continued from First Page.) originated in British broadcasts designed to "divide the country:" That the Germans had tried any of the students before military tribunals or that they had sen tenced any of them to capital punishment. It was acknowledged that a private school teacher had been arrested in Paris and charged with spreading such rumors. Is Senator's Granddaughter: The last report received by the State Department on the Deegan case was sent from Paris on December 3, at which time the Embassy apparently had only indirect word that Mrs.

Deegan was "comfortably lodged." The State Department an nounced that "appropriate action" was being taken by the Paris Embassy. Mrs. Deegan, a granddaughter of a former United States Sen ator from North Carolina, Jeter C. Pritchard, had been employed as a reception clerk in the Embassy since 1936. She previously had lived several years in Paris.

Called At Apartment. Ov the basis of information from Paris, officials in Washington assumed Mrs. Deegan's detention was linked in some way with the cases of the British prisoners whom she was taken to visit. The State Department, an nouncing what details it had on the case, said two German civilians, "presumably members of the German secret police," called at Mrs. Deegan's apartment on the morning of December 1 and "invited her to go to the Cherche Midi Prison to visit one or more British prisoners." Returned for Clothing.

"This was the second time within a week." the statement continued, "that Mrs. Deegan had been invited by the German authorities to visit acquaintances at the Cherche Midi Prison." After trat day. the State De partment said, she returned under escort to her apartment to get warm clothing and that eve-nig one of her friends received a message "from an unspecified source that she was comfortably lodged, that she would be un able i.o report for work the next day but "would doubtless report for duty on December 3." She failed to report then, however Mi lcroscope Fights Cancer Topeka, Dec. 6 OP) Dr F. E.

Mohs of the University of Wisconsin faculty described a "chemosurgery treatment for skin cancer Friday by what he termed a new method of "micro scopic control." Dr. Mohs said treatment of 440 unselected external cancer cases by the new method led to a 93 per cent cure. Thirty-seven per cent of the total cases had failed to respond to other procedures, including surgery and X-ray, he asserted Successive layers of cancerous material are treated with zinc chloride, then removed by sur gery.

Testimony Heard In Overtime Suit Judge Shackelford Miller, Friday took under submission testimony in the suit of Earl B. Stucker, 143 LaSalle PL, against Tony F.

Roselle, doing business as Roselle, The Hatter, 116 S. 4th. The suit, filed under the Fair Labor Standards Act, seeks $936 for alleged overtime work. The defendant contended the sum sought was insufficient to give the Federal Court jurisdiction, and that the law did not apply to him because his concern did a retail business, more than 50 per cent of which was intrastate.

EK Mexico City, Dec. 6 OP) An authoritative source reported Friday that negotiations were tinder way for transfer of several old type United States destroyers to Mexico in exchange for use of Mexican naval facilities and other concessions. This source said that while conversations had been in progress for several weeks between the State Department in Washington and the Foreign Office here no agreement had been reached.

6 to 10 Ships Involved. Between six and twelve destroyers, similar to those which the United States dispatched to Britain in return for naval bases In British Western Hemisphere posr-jsions, probably would be involved, it was said. In exchange for the destroyers, the source declared, Mexico prob-ebly would make her naval bases available to the American fleet lor fueling and repair purposes. There was no information concerning other possible consessions. President Manuel Avila Cama-cho said last week in his inauguration speech that the Mexican Navy Department representation in the Cabinet and that the republic's marine facilities would be expanded so that it tnight better defend its shores.

The crash of the huge, twenty-one passenger Mainliner brought a demand for re-establishment of the Air Safety Board. David L. Behncke, president of the Air Line Pilots' Association, asserted that Congress immediately could re-create the board as a means of averting accidents on commercial airlines. The board was abolished when the Civil Aeronautics Authority was transferred to the Department of Commerce under a Government reorganization. Security Files Up 3 Millions.

6 (JP) Premier Mussolini became a grandfather for the sixth" time today. A girl was born to the wife of his son, Vittorio, in a Rome clinic. It was their second child. Vittorio and his brother, Bruno, have been attached to a Fascist bombing squadron since Italy entered the war. II Duce now has three granddaughters and three grandsons.

Clinic At Clarksdale To Open By Christinas Opening of the new East End clinic in Clarksdale, low cost housing project, is expected by Christmas. Dr. Hugh Leavell, Director of Health, said Friday. The clinic has been located Washington and Buchanan in an old Structure. The new clinic will hEve about 3.000 square feet of space in the administration building.

At Elbasani II Duce Names Cavallero Chief Military Commission at Versailles. In 1925 Mussolini named him Undersecretary of War. He oc cupied this post for three years, carrying out extensive reorganization of the army. He was made a Senator in 1926 and since 1937 had been commander of the Italian forces in East Africa. Cavallero, who keeps in close touch with the German High Command, "will go immediately to Albania to survey Italy's troops on the Albanian-Greek battlefronts and "study the general military situation," including the rugged terrain, highways and the strength of Greek and British forces, it was reported.

May Confer With KeUel. A conference between Caval lero and Gen. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the German Supreme Command, in the near future to map even closer Axis mjlitary collaboration also was predicted. II Duce will continue, of course, to pose as the master of his own war machine, but it probably will be Hitler methods and the advice of his generals that will govern the new offensive. Time and much road building seem to be essential to renewal of the thrust.

The front is an almost roadless terrain at best. This fact adds weight to the Greek belief that Badoglio opposed the war. When the Ethiopian war began, he took his time and made road building a prime element of his campaign. The Greek war was launched without waiting. Defeats in the Greek campaign may be the immediate reason for Mussolini to change his Chief of the General Staff, but soldiers who know the two men and the country will read more than that into it, according to John Evans, chief of the Associated Press foreign service.

Still Not Discredited. Badoglio, first of all, has stood head and shoulders above all military men in Italy, Evans says. His reputation and his works have been such that collapse of the Italian Army in Albania need not discredit him. He would be the best man to repair the dam age. Since the 1914-18 war, Badoglio has been rated Italy's best strategist, and his civic courage equaled his military prowess.

When de Bono slowed down in his Ethiopian campaign, Mus solini sent for Badoglio. At that time there was a current of anti-Fascism and some discontent with the war. After the Italian victory. Bado. glio and Mussolini knew each other better; each trusted the other and the Marshal joined the Fascist Party as his contribution to Italian harmony.

Badoglio's withdrawal at this crucial time, therefore, appears to be a break between him and Mussolini, a sign of dissatisfac tion with Italy part in the war. School Editors Told Press Has Obligation 2 200 Kentucky Students Meet In Lexington Lexington, Dec. 6 (IP) More than 200 pupils from twen ty-five schools gathered at the University of Kentucky Friday for a two-day session of the Ken tucky High School Press Associa tion.

English Vessel Is Damaged (Continued from First Page.) ported the sinking of four more British merchant ships totaling 13,300 tons by one U-boat. British officials in Montevideo began arranging to provide quick repairs on the Carnarvon Castle upon her arrival, which now is expected to be Saturday. It was believed that the German was one of a group of vessels especially equipped before the war began to hound British shipping.

These are powered heavily, armed with the most modern of 6.9-inch cannon and are understood to be able to outrun anything save a regular warship. The fact that for the moment at least there is peril in South Atlantic waters was illustrated late in the day by the action of the British steamer El Argentino in turning about and tieing up again the Montevideo harbor after having sailed.

GREEK CAPTURE OF Argirocastro (3) was expected hourly Friday. Greece earlier claimed the capture of Porto Edda (4), said Italians had been driven frompositions in the Pogradetz area (1) and reported gains west of Premet (2). Italian troops in Albania will wait until after New Year's before launching another major offensive, for there is nothing to indicate that their reinforcement with masses of fresh troops and equipment has reached its peak. Badoglio's military skill gave Mussolini his empire; II Duce called on him to deliver the victory over Haile Selassie's ragged legions, and Badoglio delivered swiftly, where old Marshal Emilio de Bono might have failed. That triumph in 1936 avenged for Badoglio the Italian humiliation of 1896 at Aduwa which he had witnessed as a second lieutenant of artillery.

Then and then only, Badoglio, showered with honors, became a member of the Fascist Party. He had been King Vittorio Emanuele's Chief of Staff when Mussolini's Blackshirts marched on Rome, and, it is reported, had told the king he could smash them with a single regiment if the king desired. Badoglio Called Home. The king instead asked Mussolini to form a government; and Badoglio went along. II Duce sent the soldier to Brazil as Ambassador, but called him back less than two years later to become again Chief of Staff.

Cavallero, who is CO, nine years younger than Badoglio, first fought in the Libyan War of 1912-13 and won the bronze medal for military valor. At the beginning of the World War he served as an aid to the Chief of Staff and later was named Chief of Operations in the High Command. In this office he was credited with directing the campaign at Vittorio Veneto. Receives Highest Honor.
