LONDON, Nov. 13.-BritiSh Indian
and white troops captured, lost and
recaptured Gallabat, in the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan near the Ethiopian
border, in four-day action which
involved five battalionS of italian
and Askari native) troops, military
circles reported today.
British and Italian sources
repeatedly have contradicted
each others claims to possession
of Gallabat in the past few days.
British artillery was reported
by these military sources to be
Smelling now the Italian fortified
camp at Mettemma, near Gallabat,
ard they said shell dumps and gas
oline depots there were in flames.
The air force is cooperating with
the British troops, it was learned.
The Italians suffered heavily in
the fighting, the sources said.
First Taken Last Summer.
Forward point of one of several
Italian thrusts at Egypt, Gallabat
was first taken from the British last
summer. 1t was described here as
strategically important as Jump
ing-off place" for Italian attacks on
the Sudan. Protected by a small
fort, it is the junction of many car
AVIAN routes.
The British were understood to
have attacked Gallabat first in the
early hours of November 6 and
evicted an Italian battalion in an
action lasting an hour and quar-
ter.
The Italian commander rushed up
two supporting battalions from Me-
temma. Communicating, the Itali-
ans were repulsed, military authori-
ties said with British loss of q
officers and men.
British Withdrew.
The Italians, these sources de-
clared, suffered considerably and
"a number of prisoners were taken"
That day and the next, italian
bombers pounded at the town, and
the British withdrew from their
newly-won position, first destroying
three damaged tanks and the
Italian gasoline dump.
The Italians re-entered Gallabat
November 8, taking up their posi-
tons among the smoking ruins.
Reinforced by two additional bat
talions, they faced the British posi-
ton just east of the village.
Advancing again on the morning
of November 10, the British swept
aside Italian pickets by dawn, mill
tary men here said, and breakfasted
in the recaptured fort after swift
attack which encountered "surpris-
ingly light Italian resistance

President Thanks
All His WeN-Wishers,
Including Foes al Poll,
Loyalty Pledges Reflect
Spirit Of National Unity,
He Says in Statement

President Roosevelt expressed in a
statement today thanks for the
thousands of congratulatory mes
sages that have come to the White
House since his reelection and ap-
probation to those who voted
against him, but have pledged their
support to the administration.
I'm the face of constantly
mounting number of congratulatory
messages I feel that I must, in this
statement. extend my hearty thanks
to those who have thus remembered
me-" he said.
Il am heartened and encouraged
by all these messages of good will
from thousands of well-wishers.
mot less appreciated than the
others are the pledges of loyalty and
support received from sincere men
and women who did not cast their
votes for the administration. These
messages in particular reflect a
spirit of national unity in essential
things which is most welcome. In
unity we shall find our true strength.
ITO all who have sent their greet
ings, give this assurance of graft
tude and heartfelt appreciation. In
acknowledging these pledges of loyal
support and full cooperation in for
warding the interests Of the Nation,
I pledge anew my determination to
work shoulder to shoulder with all
who place true Americanism above
all other considerations"
The volume of congratulatory
messages has been so great that the
White House added extra clerks to
take care of them and even then it
has been a physical impossibility to
make personal acknowledgment in
every instance. The problem also
has been magnified by the fact that
many of the messages did not fully
identify the senders.

Sees GOerIng.
Molotoff's day began with the con-
ference with Marshal Goering, who,
observers assumed, gave him a COM
prehenSive picture of both the mill
tary and economic situation in
Germany.
AS the man who directed the
Battle of London" in its initial
stages and later was reported to
have flown over the British capital
himself, Marshal Goering was In a
position to give Molotoff an au-
thoritative account of the aerial
warfare.
AS director of the German four
year plan, Marshal Goering also had
at his fingertips information on
Germany's economic position.
From the fact that such industrial
leaders as DR.. Gustave Krupp, head
Of the Krupp munitions works. at
tended the dinner given Molotoff
last night, observers adduced that
the accent in the talks thus far has
been on economics.
Turkish Envoy Present.
Foreign correspondents were af-
forded food for speculation when it
was reported that the Turkish Am
bassador had visited the German
Foreign Office today. Authorized
sources would not comment.
The presence of the Turkish Am
bassador in the party which greeted
Molotoff yesterday at the railroad
station, along with Japanese, Chi
nese and Italian diplomats, also was
the subject of some talk.
Authorized sources said Franz Won

for talks regarding "all matters per-
