PASTOR IS FINED
 IN DRAFT CASE

Boston, Dec. 2.-(UP)-The Rev. Keith c. Kanaga. 26. assistant pas tor of the Mount Vernon Congre- gational church of Boston pleaded guilty to an indictment charging failure to register Oct. IS under the Selective Service Act and was fined S10O in U. s. District Court today.
 The court refused his attorneys petition to enter plea of nolo con- tendere. Federal Judge Hugh D. Me- Lellan said:
 T think this case is not the type which lends itself to probation. Some penalty must be imposed. however. Tn view of the fact that the defen- dant has now registered, thus recog- nizing his obligation to do so. and in view Of his plea of guilty, and con- sidering his financial condition. I think q fine Of si0o should be iin- posed"
 Kanaga was given two weeks to pay his fine.

COP COMMITTEE
 IN BATTLE ROYAL
State Central Members in Session to Elect New
 Chairman

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 2-UP)- The Republican state central com- mittee met today to elect a success sor to Chairman Benjamin, E. Har- wood, Chester, whose resignation be- came effective Sunday after direct ing the party's policies for more than three years.
 Choice of new chairman was be- tween Lieut.. Col. Anson T. McCook, Hartford, and former State Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, Westport, both of whom claimed majority of the 70 votes on the committee.
 McCook is an attorney and was a candidate for Congress from the first district in 1884. He served a portion of term as state treasurer in 1924 and was executive secretary to former Gov. Charles A. Temple ton.

 e The ships inspected were the battleships Vittorio Veneto and Giulio Cesare and the 10,000-ton cruisers Plume, Pola and Gorizia. So far as the correspondents could see the ships had not been damaged and their officers said they had not received a single hit. Other 10,000-ton cruisers which were in the same squadron in the battle were at an other base. Authorities said they were in the rear of the squadron for nation and did not arrive at the scene until the battle was nearly over.
 Naval officers who took part ill the battle said it lasted 48 minutes and that only one Italian destroyer had been damaged. They said that an official announcement t that an Italian cruiser had been hit had been an error. A message had been garbled. The cruiser Plume mes saged, mo hit and no wounded, ," but it was received to read, "one hit, no wounded"
 Greeks Are Repulsed
 Italian troops have repulsed fierce Greek attacks in Albania and have inflicted heavy Greek losses, especial ly on the right wing, by counter-at- tacks, today's war communique said.
 Italian Alpini troops were said to have surprised and annihilated Greek cavalry units.
 It was announced that Col. Trizio, commander of Italy's 47th infantry regiment, had been killed in action.
 The heaviest artillery fire in weeks preceded the Italian counter attacks, the communique said.

1t was reported here that strong feeling was developing in Southamp- ton, which was subjected to heavy aerial attack Saturday night, to force all women and children to leave. Labor officials were said to be urging the evacuation of all non producers and arrangements to house and feed essential workers in neighboring areas.
 The press association said that since the beginning of the war 2,986 German planes and 20 Italian planes "a total of 3,006-had been shot down over Britain and adjacent wa- ters.
 It was announced officially that eight German planes were shot down Sunday against five British fighters whose pilots were safe. (The German official news agency said that 13 British fighters and two German fighters were shot down in single air battle off the south coast of EnglandJ
 Like Odd Attacks
 The (ISTIIlaIl SI1ldSIl dI 0OtlGIldlIkp- ton followed closely the pattern of attacks on Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool. However, its effect appeared to be increased by the fact that two of the three at- tacks came on successive nights, Saturday night and Sunday morn ing and last night and this morning.
 The Germans claimed that ter rife fires were started in the town and that rail service between Lon- don and Southampton was knocked out. Some 60 large fires and many smaller fires were said to have been started.
 Reports direct from Southampton reported widespread ruin and misery and mounting demand among Southampton citizens that women and children be evacuated from the town, by mandatory edict if neces- sary, and the community stripped down to necessary workers and de- fense forces.

Third Nazi Blow
 At Southampton
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News EditOr.)


 The German air force hurled its third pulveriz- ing attack against the British base and airplane manufactory of Southampton last night and early to- day. Southampton was again made the objective of last nights air raids" the Air and Home Security Ministries said. "A number of fires were caused but all we'll under control by daybreak. A further statement will be issued later in the day."
 Follows Same Old Plan
 The raiders followed the pattern of Saturday nights hoursong assault in which large sections of the business district reduced to ruins The first planes soon after dusk dropped ncendary bombs which set fires that illuminated the Then for hourS the planes shutted over, dumping high explosive bombs.
 (In Berlin German said bombs of all callbers had been dropped Southampton dry docks and indus tries last night that railroad service between London and Southampton had been diSrupted)
 Some Persons Were Killed
 The air and home security ministries said some persons killed and others injured but it was believed number of casualties would not be large London had only two brief alarms during the night though conditions fairly good for rading The ministries said that addition the raid the south coast town bombs dropped in the counties around London and elsewhere in England but first reports indicated little damage and few casualties.

War Moves On Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert

Intensifcation of indiscriminate terror bombings of British cities is causing considerable financial loss to Great Britain, but is not weak ening the British war effort to any major extent. No diminution is ap- parent in the strength of the Royal Air Force, whose annihilation al- ways has been the main objective of the German air offensive.
 Indeed, by confining their attacks so largely to night viSitatlonS. the Germans may be said to have aban- doned, at least for the item being, their attempts to gain mastery of the air by destroying Britain's av1a- ton defenses. Only by daylight at tackS, when largest become visible. would it be even theoretically pos sible to overwhelm British air power.
 There is no doubt that some Brit ish war factories have been dam aged by the night assaults, but at the worst, from Britain's standpoint, the consequence can be scarcely more than some delay of the time WIlGll 1LOydl All rO1S 4CuSAACo AAA- merical parity with the Germans or SurpaSses them. The essential con- tributing factor to the increasing strength of Great Britain in the air is the speed with which American factories can produce planes.
 Is More Important
 This is more important than the damage being done by night raids on British cities. Night bombings, at worst, demolish industrial plants by accidental hits, since to the inviSi- bility of the targets is added the great height at which the planes must fly to avoid anti-aircraft fire.
 Emotional descriptions of the des- truction caused by bombing British cities, which the British censorship allows to be cabled abroad, are re- layed to Germany. They undoubted-
