Italy Pushes
Press Attack
Upon Greece
Sharp Propaganda Cam
paign Threatens To Pro-
duce New Balkan Crisis
BERBERA BATTLE NEAR
Rome Expected To Protest
Against Staying OF Alban-
ian Nationalist

ROME, Aug. 12.-R-Italy, al
ready warning with Britain for SUI
premacy in the Mediterranean and
North Africa, threatened a new
crisis in the Balkans today with a
sharp propaganda campaign
against Greece, neutral friend of
Britain.
A press attack against Greece,
charging her with aiding the Brit
ish and conspiring to foment trou-
BILE on the border with Italian-an-
nexed Albania, shared press head
lines with reports of a developing
battle for Berbera, capital and
chief port of British Somaliland,
on the Gulf of Alden.
Make Contact
The Italian high command COM
munique said Fascist forces driv-
ing across British Somaliland had
"made contact with" the main
British forces in front of Berbera,
but failed to say whether fighting
actually was in progress.
"a British communique issued
at Cairo said "In Somaliland nc
operations r reported and the
enemy made no advance"
Reports of the beheading of an
obscure Albanian nationalist, Haul
Hoggia, by Greek bandits" opened
the campaign against Greece. Fas.
cists said Italy probably would
protest, adding that further COM
plications likely would result"
The latest developments threat
ened a crisis similar to 1923 when
the Italian fleet bombarded Corfu
and occupied the Greek-owned is
land at the entrance to the Adri-
attic for a month in retaliation for
an attack on an Italian mission.
In foreign circles war with
Greece over this incident was con-
sidered unlikely in view of the ex'
pressed desire of Germany to keep
the Balkans at peace to supply
the Axis powers. Some observers
thought an effort might be made
to force Greece into the Rome
Berlin orbit.
British Aid Charged
Fascists accused Greece of sup
plying the British with fueling
bases for w%arplanes and warships

F. D. R. COMPLETES
INDUSTRIAL TOUR
Collects Information On
Translation OF Billions
Into War Equipment
BY ALEX

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Aug. u.
l-GP-President Roosevelt, col
lecting first hand information on
the translation of billions of dol
lars into revitalized fighting equip
ment, completed tonight his check
up of preparedness progress in
t henation's industrial northeast.
Just before leaving by train for
Washington, the president told the
newsmen that while the progress
of the ten billion dollar program
was not yet up to 100 per cent, it
was getting there fast.
He ended his three-day swing
through New England with inspec-
ton of the submarine base here
and the nearby Groton submarine
building plant of the Electric Boat
company.
A submarine, a month, he said
as he returned from Groton, was
the objective toward which e
plant was striving, adding that the
company had plans for building
twice as many undersea fighters as
ever before.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that during
the day he had talked to Cover
nor William H. Vanderbilt, of
Rhode Island and Governor Ray
mond E. Baldwin, of Connecticut,
about organizing a state guard if
and when the National Guard were
called up for training. Baldwin in
formed him that Connecticut al
ready had two state guard COM
panies training in camp.
A bill to permit the president
to call up the National Guard and
organized reserves for a years
training reserves the senate last
week end now is before a house
committee. The president, at a re-
cent press conference, referred to
the possible formation of a home
guard, and 81 ggested that World
wal veterans might form it's nu-
cleus.
The presidential yacht Potomac,
under destroyer Escort, brought
him here this afternoon after a
swing through New England which
took him into five of the sections

portunity to e expanding indus

BERLIN, Aug. 10 (Tuesday).-R
virtual control of the air
over the bomb-splattered English
channel, German sources predicted
today that successiv eraids would
stab steadily inland until mot even
London would be safe from bomb
destruction.
Hailing reports of tremendous ruin
to Britain's coast defenses and naval
bases in three days of stepped-up
aerial blitzkrieg, the German press
said the battlefield Britain counted
on to hold off direct assault might
already have been forced to clear out
of channel bases.
Many Planes Wrecked
The Germans claimed 213 British
planes wrecked in the three days OF
fighting, last Thursday, Sunday and
Notwithstanding those smashed

Sunday and yesterday, the Ger
mans reported, 1854 were shot out O.

to German losses of 46, 10 yesterday
and 81 Sunday.
From the intensity of the attacks
they looked more and more like prep
aration for the long-expected grand
scale invasion.
The great British naval base al
Portsmouth, where huge fires were
reported, the airport at Mansion, de
clared to have been destroyed, an6
the port Of Margate on the Thames
Estuary, gateway to London, bore
the brunt of the assaults along the
southern coast of England.
The German radio reported the
British lost 4S planes in the battle
over Portsmouth alone, where II

BR0UCHTON SEES
MANY N. E. GAINS
Says State Is Entering Into
Greatest Era OF Indus
trial Expansion

North Carolina is entering into
its greatest era of industrial ex-
lpansion, and the development of
our transportation systems will aid
in this expansion" J. M. Brough-
ton, democratic governor-nomi-
nate, told members of the North
Carolina Traffic league at their
annual banquet last night at the
lQcean Terrace hoteAreWrightsvile
Beach.
"And 1 cannot understate the i'm
port of equitable transportation
rates in the promotion of North
Cardinals industry" he said.
The governor-nominate said, Il
believe n of the greatest things
North Carolina can do is to dedi-
cate itself to the development of
its port resources.
"These resources will feature
enormously in this industrial ex-
pansion campaign"
He paid tribute to Lt.-Col. George
Gillette, Wilmington district army
engineer, by saying: You have
here in Wilmington the man who
is in charge of all waterways in
North Carolina.
eff we keep him here long
enough we will have a great sys-
tenn of waterways"
Broughton was introduced by l..
M. Bailey, of Raleigh, counsel for
the North Carolina Corporation
commission.
Preceding him on the speaking
program, was Stanley Winborne,
state utilities commissioner, who
charged that the Interstate COM
merce commission has not always
given North Carolina the considera-
ton it deserves"
"It is Jul duty to bring about a
reawakening in North Carolina to
the Importance of freight rates to
the states industry. 1t is astonish-
ing to learn the number of business
men who do not know the value of
freight rates to their business"
He advised that the traffic league
get more members and "try to do
something about these freight rates."
