"1n fact, in Stamford, there are two police departments" he said "a town and a city force.
 "It must be remembered, also that Waterbury is the center of 8 metropolitan area. Thousands drive in here to work from sur rounding towns, Naugatuck, Water town, Prospect, WOlcott, Cheshire Thomaston, etc, and thousands of people come in here daily from those towns to shop.
 "On the other hand, the condi- tions are just the opposite in many of the other towns. For instance in Stamford and Greenwich, most of the people living there go out of town during the day to work in New Yoork. Also, we have no parallel streets here for through traffic, which would get traffic uot of the city quicker. Look at Stam- ford, Greenwich. and Bridge port, where the Merritt parkway takes all through traffic away from the city proper.
 "One must also consider the type of population; for instance that in Greenwich and Stamford compared with Waterbury.

Italian Bases Face
 Threat of Greek Army
Continued From Page D

Premeti. The broadcaster said the third defense line which the Italians had intended setting up in the north along the Shkumbi river below FL basan, now would be unable to with stand the Greek attack. (At Ohrid, Jugoslav border town, it was reported that the main Ital- ian forces had left Pogradec and the Greeks probably would move into town today. The Greeks were said to have taken the villages of Mis- avec, Podgorje, Bratomir, Halarup, Piskupije and Tusemiste, in that sector, without a fight.)
 In addition to the threat to Porto Edda and Argyrokastron from the Greek landing party, the Greeks were said to be trying to cut the northern road from Argyrowastron to Tepelini. Success in that action would isolate Argyrowastron from both north and south. However, Greek sources said the Italians were strongly entrenched around Argyro- kastron and they did not anticipate the fall of the town without stiff fighting.
 On the central front the British said the Greeks were mopping up rapidly and finding little Italian op- position. They were reported to have struck west from Koritza as far as a point 12 miles west of VoSkopoje which is r miles west of Koritza.
 The British said the Italians were bringing endorsements into AL bania, estimated to number two di- visions or about 30000 men. The Italians admitted air attacks upon Durazzo, Albania's chief port, and the DodecaneSe islands and said their own air units attacked Corfu and Greek troops in the Kalamas river valley.
 The exact cause of Bulgaria's ap- parent swing away from the Axis afS ter being on the brink of signing up in the Tripartite alliance was not yet clear. However, there were strong indications that Russia played a major part in the switch. A. A. Sobolev, secretary-general of the 6OVl6t COIluIl1oSdI1db O1 4O4CAS1I d4- fairs, was at Sofia today. He con- ferred with King Boris and Premier Bogdan Filov yesterday and was ex- pected to see Foreign Minister Ivan Popov today.
 That development seemed to offer Greece a chance of avoiding en- broilrnent on the Macedonian front while engaged with the Italian in Albania.
 Shanghai reported rumors that Axis diplomatic activity was switch ing to the Far East with an att tempt to extricate Japan from the war in China to free this axis part ner for offensive action in the direc- ton of Singapore and the Dutch East Indies.
 Masked Nazi Envoy
 It was said that Heinrich Gorg Stahmer, Nazi masked special en- voy," had been designated to at- tempt this task. Pressure upon the Chungking government to agree to peace with Japan was said to be contemplated. At the same time London heard rumors of Q German peace feeler. this time through the medium of neutral Portugal.

GREAT BRITAIN
 NEEDS OUR HELP
tcontinued from Page D

- - doorstep by Lord Lothian, it appears that most of the issues will be work ed over in Congress before the pres- ident commits himself either on loans or the transfer of additional ships to Britain.
 UnqueStionably accurate reports received here are that the urgent and immediate British need is for ships, both merchant and naval vessels. That is an indirect admis- sion that U-boatS and German Sur- face raiders are cutting deeply into the Sea-going conveys upon which Great Britain depends for food.
 Particular Needs
 It is understood here that the British particularly need both cruis- CTS and destroyerS to cope with Ger man sea raiders in addition to the flow of airplanes, airplane motors and such munitions already moving across the Atlantic.
 Underlying the whole questions, however, is the problem of war loans. Lord Lothian conferred yes- terday with MT. Roosevelt for 30 minutes. Thereaft . he told ques- tioners that his country hoped next year to obtain airplanes, munitions, ships and loans from the United States. The implication was that Great Britain could not win the war without further assistance along those lines.
 MT. Roosevelt transferred 50 over- age destroyers to the British in re- turn for the sites of chain of air and naval bases in this hemisphere, without congressional counsel. The precedent has been established and another group of naval vessels could be transferred the same way. But 1t is not likely that any effort would be made to finance British war pur- chases in this country without con- gresSional action to repeal the John son act and amend the neutrality act. The first forbids credits to war debt defaulters and the second for- bids credits to belligerents.
 VIII Press Issue
 It is evident that Great Britain intends to press the issue, assisted by organizations and individuals in this country which have been urg- ing greater aid to the opponents of aggressors.
 Congress will have an opportunity to nibble at the question tomorrow when Sen. William H. King, D., Utah, hopes the Senate Foreign Re- lations committee will consider his proposal to repea. the Johnson act Also pending before the committee is a resolution by Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R.. N. D., for an investigation of British resources in this country
 There is no question in the minds of observers here that Lothian and other British spokesmen are dead serious when they talk about credits, munitions, ariplanes and ships next year. Uncensored and non-British advices from London are that the British are convinced that American ships and American money must be thrown into the fight to enable them to win.

er-bombed the Kiel anal and Will helmshaven naval bases again.
 The British reported that the new Nazi Coventry" tactics were hurt ing industrial and war production but by no means crippling the fac tories on which the British war ef- fort depends, largely due to the sys- tenn of shadow" factories-secret plants scattered around the coun- try-set up before the war.
 German coastal batteries on the English Channel were active. They were reported to have fired 200 rounds yesterday and last night in a vain attempt to hit British convoy passing Dover and this morning they opened up again.
 London reported that shipping losses for the week ended Nov. IT were 59,534 tons, somewhat less than the average for the war so far. The Germans countered with a claim that another Nazi submarine had reported sinking Al 400 tons of shipping.
 There were reported in London that new campaign was about to start in an attempt to swing Frances north African colonies Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia to the banner of Free France" Gen. Charles DeGaulle conferred with Prime Minister Winston Churchill on the problem.

DEFENSE PLANTS
 MUST STAY OPEN
Continued from Page D

Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, Hillman and Jackson will come to the White House at 2 p. m. MT. Roosevelt arranged his schedule to leave full two hours open for the meeting.
 The conference was announced by White House Secretary Stephen T.. Early. He did not mention the Vultee strike by name but made it clear that the whole labor-defense picture would be scrutinized, thereby including the Vultee situation.
 "The purpose of the conference is to discuss labor in relation to national defense, industrial diffi- cultieS, strikes, etc.," Early said.
 An hour earlier MT. Roosevelt will have lunch with Bernard Baruch, New York financier who in 1917 and 1918 headed the war industries board. This conference may touch upon labor difficulties in the de- fense program in view of Baruch's experience in the first world war.

Story Of Greek Armies In Battle Of Albania

|, tain with one arm around the shoulder of a sturdy 'ballila" (Fas- cist youth) and with a flaming red sunset in the background. Writers Cross By Rope Upon entering Albania, neWspa- permen were swung across the river by a rope but at that time we were told that the front lines had moved far back from the border.
 The group, which had travelled in a pouring rain from a poin; somewhere in Greece, included Sam Brewer of the Chicago Trib. une; James Aldredge of the North American Newspaper Alliance; and Day Woodward of the London News Chronicle.
 There was a heavy ground mist through which Greek mountain sol- diers guided us along muddy roads pitted with shell and bomb craterS The truck wound crazily along a cliff edge and often there was drop of more than 100 feet from the road into river
 The wheels of our automobile were at the extreme edge of the cliff on many occasions as we passed army trucks. As we contin- ued our journey, the sun came out and three Italian bombers could be seen glistening in the sunlight over- head.
 A few minutes later they dropped bombs several miles away, just over the mountain side.
 We could hear the roar of planes that seemed to be dive bombing Greek positions near Kalpak1. We hurried on to a Greek base where soldiers were lining up with mess tins for a meal of spaghetti and meat.
 Target of Bombs
 We came to a number of white washed stone huts which apparently had been the target of the Italian bombs we had seen dropped earlier. There were big craters in the red earth on both sides of the road and dead horse low near the wreck age ot a motor truck. The Italian pilots had dropped bombs in per- feet line but had chipped the road at only one point.
 About 20 miles from the frontier, I saw IT wooden cases of Italian hand grenades, labelled "Societa Romano Construction Mcdaniel" Down the road was the wreckage of a burned baby tank which had been hit by a shell from Greek mountain gun, fired from a moun- tainside about a mile and half away, according to the Greeks.
 We came to 8 simple chapel with a crude cross that marked the spot where Greek troops said they found the first Greek casualties resulting from the Italian invasion.
 I was told that four Italian baby tanks got as far into Greece as the village of Kalpaki, where they were destroyed. We saw soldiers dis mantling the remains of other cap- tured tanks.
 Near them, two old women, clad in black and carrying baskets of eggs, toiled up the hillside, coming back from places of refuge to see what was left of their homes and their town.

Italy Claims First
 Victory Upon Land

ian army in the Porto Edda-Argyro- kaStron area of Albania, British mill itary quarters said today.
 (The landing appeared to be the one referred to in today's Italian war communique. It said merely that "on the Greek front enemy units which landed on the Epirus coast (of Greece) were partly de- stroyed and partly captured with their arms" Unofficial reports ir Rome said the landing had beer made near Porto Edda, in Albania about g miles north of the Philiates area.)
 Military quarters here said that or the north sector, Greek reconnais. sance forces had penetrated 12 miles west of Vosopoje, which is in AL bania about IT miles beyond Korit. "a.
 "The Greeks found no Italian troops at Voskopoje but captured tht colors of three Italian battalions there," these sources said.
 The British said the Greeks hae taken Pogradec, near the Albania. Jugoslavia frontier, about 20 mile! north of KoritZa. It was said Ital. ian columns north of Pogradec were attacked by British planes and dis perSed.
 Behind Italian Flank.
 The landing was in that area o1 the Albania Greek frontier which borders the Ionian Sea opposite the Island of Corfu. They were landed behind the Italian flank. It was es- timated that the Italians affected by this operation totalled less thar a division.
 "In the Epirus sector the advance towards Argyrokastron met witt some opposition from Italian rein- forcements lately brought up," the British said. There is no official confirmation that Argyrokastron is in Greek hands"
 These quarters said all evidence indicated that the Italians were try ing to restore the situation in AL bania from their own resources and were sending as many re-en- forcements as possible.
 "It appears that they have put into Albania the equivalent of about two divisions (about 30,000 mem since operations began" they said.
 Reports of Greek captures of Ital- ian troops and material continued to arrive here. A report today said that the Greeks had captured an Italian commanding officer and his staff, two company commanders and the equipment of a battalion at a point not identified.
 The British said they had con- firmation that retreating Italians had "wantonly" burned Greek vil- lages and had executed hostages.
 The British said that Italian pris- onerS now arriving in Athens were, from a military point of view, in- ferior to the first prisoners from AL pine divisions which were taken by the Greeks during the first part of Italy's invasion of Greece.

 NaZi Air Strategy

proceeded to secondary targets - Dutch airdromes, it was said.
 Nazi Air Strategy
 The new German air strategy ot concentrating all-night "blitz" raids on one industrial town after another is hurting but not crippling Britain's munitions industry, according to best informed persons here.
 Britain began two years ago pre- paring for such tactics by spreading out vital industries in 8 shadow system" It has been developed now to the point where no single factory is the only supplier of any one es- sential weapon or part of @ weapon. In most cases several factories pro- duce the same materials.
 Only a few officials know the true extent of industrial damage by Ger man raiders. Any correspondent who did would not be permitted to tell 1t. But the general impression is given that the situation is bad but not critical.
 In addition to the shadow sys- tenn" defense, anti-aircraft guns keep the German plane sso high that they cannot bomb with accuracy even if they can spot an important plant. It is claimed that most of the night raiders fly l8,000 to 10000 feet and keep just as high over the mid- lands towns as they do over better protected London.
 Coventry Disastrous
 The rad on Coventry Is conceded to have been disastrous. but there IS no indication that any other town has suffered such Q ferocious assault.
 A few cases are known in which important British munitions fac. tories were badly damaged within the past few months and now have resumed full production. There have been other cases in which damage to plants appeared 90 great at first glance that 1t was desirable to res build elsewhere, but which were finally repaired nevertheless. and gre now back in partial production.

strengthening their lines on the north front and Nicholas Yoker United Press correspondent at Kor- itza, reported that Greek and Brit- ish airplanes and artillery were con- tinually harasSing the Italians pounding retreating units and pre- venting them from recognizing their front.
 According to Greek advices, there was little opoSition by Italians on the northern front although there had been a heavy battle in the hills apparently not far from Moskopoli Ten lorries loaded with wounded were seen arriving in Koritza from the front.
 Normal transportation facilities were being resumed, however, in the Koritza area and the town was reported settling down to ,compara- lively normal life as rapidly as war damage could be repaired.
 Not far from the tiny hamlet oi Kalpaki, which our party passed en route to the front, there was an Italian tractor parked along the road and near it number of Ital- ian wheel barrows left there by one of the first Fascist columns that had crossed into Greece and later returned hurriedly to Albania.
 A huge concrete bridge across the clear, green water of the AooS river lay in ruins.
 Caught In Trap
 Italian tanks, trucks and pontoon bridge units had crossed that bridge in the advance into Greece and had reached the hamlet of Kalpaki. When all were across, the Greeks said, the defending troops blew up the bridge behind them and bounced on the Italian columns. Every man was taken prisoner or killed. they added.
 :, Across the river, I saw a red and white poster with a triangle similar to British road sign and on a small hint at the frontier customs post there was German-speaking Greek sergeant major.
 Above the customs post lowered the blue-gray cliffs and reddish mountains, with white-washed cot tages perched halfway to the top. : From the mountainside came the sound of four shots, but Greek off, cers said that their soldiers were merely trying out rifles captured from the Italians.
 We came at one point to tiny shrine near where the Italians had set up a field kitchen. Inside the church, the altar had been damaged and the floor was strewn with the Belongings of Italian soldiers who, according to army papers found there, belonged to the filth divi- Sional tank battalion.
 Personal letters and photographs were scattered. There were colored post cards showing a green-uni- formed Italian soldier, his shirt open, climbing bravely up a moun-
