Tor Gjesdal, formerly of the Norwegian general staff, now attached to his government's legation in Washington, said in an interview here today that a survey showed Germany lost 67,000 men and more than one third of its fleet in the "invasion of Norway.

Royal Air Force bombers concentrated on Bremen in a series of night attacks which they declared left that German industrial city "a sea of flames." Bristol and Cardiff became targets for Nazi squadrons. Bombs fell on the soil of neutral Ireland, killing three persons, and the Irish protested to Berlin.

These included the battleship Gneisrtau, the flruiser Bluchcr, and the ton cruisers Emden and Karlsruhe, he said. 4 in a sea battle with the Germans suffered additional heavy losses, bringing the total up to one third of their fleet in 48 hours," he said.

Could Use French Guns Whether the line is intended eventually to approximate the strength and elaborate detail of Germany's Siegfried Line is not yet known. Military authorities point out it would be a fairly simple operation to bolster its firing power by transfering the powerful French guns from the Maginot Line.

Some of the Maginot guns already have been moved up to the coast and have seen service in the sporadic cross channel artillery duels, these authorities say. Just when the new German line may have been started is not known in London but it cannot be very far advanced, these authorities point out, since the British raiding parties have been able to make at least nine daring thrusts into German-held French soil. Slipping across on trawlers and fishing smacks, the raiders have dashed into the blacked-out enemy lines on a several-fold mission One of the most important is to bolster French morale and worry the Germans. It is held good military psychology to keep the Nazi legions thinly strung out over a thousand-mile front in a "perpetual state of apprehension." Sabotage Is Aim Perpetration of sabotage and capture of prisoners are the two other mam responsibilities of the brave young English volunteers. Many experts expect Britain's generals to choose France or one of the low countries as the scene for a major assault.

Others talk of the "back door" through the Balkans or Italy if and when Mussolini is knocked out of the war. No one can say which is right for this naturally is a closely guarded military indeed the high command has decided it yet In all probability the final choice 'will depend to a great degree on conditions and circumstances at the time when Britain feels she is strong enough for the maneuver.

Boris of Bulgaria is en route to Germany, it was reported reliably tonight. It was learned the king left yesterday, repcfrtedly to visit former King Ferdinand is living near Vienna. Whether Boris will join the Bulgarian premier, Bogdan Filoff, already in Germany, in talks with Nazi officials was not known.

Boris HI succeeded his father in 1918 when Ferdinand abdicated after Bulgaria's defeat in the World War. In recent months the 46-year-old king has been attempting to achieve national security for Bulgaria by close diplomatic co-operation with Russia. Observers had believed that Boris sought Russian backing in refusing to become, as Hungary and Rumania did, a part of the German- Italian axis. Recent developments, however, indicated that German pressure was being applied successfully to Bulgaria, Germany's World War ally. Filoff went to Germany ostensibly to be treated for a stomach disorder, but after his departure Bulgarian government spokesmen issued a statement which said that should Germany decide to send troops, through the country Bulgaria would be in no position to resist.

From a reliable palace source It was learned that the entire palace staff had been instructed, if asked the king's whereabouts, to reply, "We do not know." One servant said he served the king's breakfast in his private salon, yesterday but did not see him. The remainder of the royal family is away from the capital. Italy Claims Bardia Stands ROME, Jan. 4 (UP) Dispatches from Libya tonight indicated the besieged Italians at Bardia were' engaged in a "hold or die" stand against-British attackers subjecting them to a terrific crossfire of day and night bombardment. Italian regulars and Black- shirt units under General Bergonzoli, veteran of Guadalajara and Santander in the Spanish Civil War, were fighting back from cement-lined trenches, concrete pillboxes and sunken redoubts bristling with antitank guns.

The official war communique had confirmed a great battle for Bardia was raging and newspapers had hinted German air assistance to Italy might be followed up with assistance from other branches of the German army.

Eastward-, there have been flickers of British air activity to suggest an offensive in East Africa soon. In the West, repeated bombing of neutral Ireland, attributed by Dublin to German planes, is creating new possibilities of Britain obtaining air and sea bases on Ireland's West coast.

On the other hand, British spurces suggest that Germany is trying to force Eire into the war on England's side in the hope that a Nazi expedition can seize Irish bases as jumping off spots for invasion of Britain. And across the Atlantic President Roosevelt is making; ready to implement to congress his promise of American win-the-u-ar aid to Britain. England's own war industries, despite Nazi bombing, are reported reaching new delivery peaks.
