now part of Greece, has been as- sassinated by Greeks on Albanian soil near the frontier.
 Cut Off His Head
 It was alleged that Greeks after killing Hoggia had cut of fhis head and taken it to Greece, where they gave 1t to Greek authorities. These authorities, the agency asserted, had put a price on Hoggia's head. Greek authorities, Stefani said, had the head exhibited at numerous villages as 8 means of intimidating AL banian revisionists.
 In its Tirana dispatch, the agency emphasized the political importance of the alleged assassination.
 The agency accused the Greeks of having spared no measures to de- nationalize" the province.
 It was alleged that Greece had esized the province illegally in 1913 and had done all it could to dena- tionalize it, with the result that an Albanian population of 80,000 had been reduced to 50,000.
 Albanians May Rise
 London, Aug. l2.-UP)-Reports of a serious clash between Italians and Albanians near the Jugoslav border were greeted by assertions in Albanian quarters today that many Albanians were, waiting for 6 chance to rise against Italy and make her occupation so unpleasant it would not be profitable.
 An Exchange Telegraph Belgrade dispatch asserted that there were 100 Italian casualties in fight with Albanians near the border when Italians attempted to mobilize AL banians, and that spirit of revolt was growing. After the first clash, ,it was asserted, two Italian officers were killed when they tried to negoti- ate with the Albanians and that in reprisal Italians burned three Al- banian villages.
 A spokesman for exiled King Zoz who is here with his half-Americarl wife and their baby son Prince Skan- der, said that reports of the clash came as no surprise and that he be- lieved that the area mentioned was likely point for an eruption against Italy.
 According to Balkan accounts, the Italians burned the villages of Orosh, Skura and Mamshiq in an agricul- tural district.
 Italian Communique
 Rome, Aug. 12.-(UP)-An official communique said today that Italian forces in British Somaliland had established contact with heavy Bri- tish concentrations, and it was be- lieved here that an important battle was being fought.
 Reports which reached Rome in- dicated that infantry, motorized units and native forces were engaged in a decisive fight.
 Italians involved were beleived to be men of two columns which are marching from Ethiopia toward the sea, one toward the port of Bull har and the other toward Berbera, capital and chief port of the pro- tectorate.
 The high command communique was unusually brief. It said merely:
 Continuing their advance in Bri- tish Somaliland. our troops have established contact with heavy enemy concentrations" Today's commlunique came after reports in Ethiopia that the Bri- tish had determined to make c stand in defense of Berhera, count ing on airplanes and warships of the coast. as well as native troops. to aid them.
 Before the communique was issued dispatches had asserted that the Italian drive was making steady prcgrass through gradually weaken Ing British desert defenses.

unbroken fighter barrage in the air along the South Coast.
 Thereby" the agency said, they show the first signs that their re- sistance is broken"
 The Germans claimed that in ad. dition to 93 British planes de- stroyed yesterday eight balloons were shot down with a loss of only 21 German planes.
 A high command communique making the claim. said that Gers man planes attacked aircraft facs tories at Filton and Crewe, Eng. land; harbor works at Cardiff and oil tanks at Avonmouth. Numerous anti-aircraft batteries were bomb. ed, it was said. and mines were laid along the British coast. During attacks on Portland. two merchant ships and destroyer were damaged severely, the com- munique said, and one merchant ship was sunk at nearby Weymouth. Three merchant ships of a convoy were sunk at the mouth of the Thames, the communique said.
 Four Ships Hit The communique added that four other merchant ships were hit by bombs and badly damaged" "A vigorous air battle developed" the communique continued, dur ing which German pursuit and de- stroyer planes inflicted heavy loss- es on the enemy"
 The high command said British planes raided west and north Ger many last night, causing fires in the residential sections of one vest ern city.
 A German U-boat the com- munique concluded, sank an armed British merchantmen in convoy.
 There were reports that yester- days fighting meant that Germany had formally started a new phase of grand scale attacks against the British Isles. Authorized quarters, however, said that the German aviators simply had taken advaIlt- age of unusually good weather to press home attacks on individual and definite objectives.
 Sunday Communique
 A high command communique summarizing Sundays fighting said:
 "On the basis of reports now available the high command can now report that in addition to Q successful attack on the naval bass at Portland, where oil tanks anA harbor works were set afire and o5 enemy planes shot down, our s.y- ing units achieved other successes in an attack on e convoy east of Harwich.
 "Three merchant ships. totalling about 17,O00 tons, were sunk and one destroyed and three merchant ships were severely damaged by direct hits. Here our pursuit and destroyer units shot down f7 enemy planes. At another place eight more enemy planes were shot down.
 ''Near Dover our pursuit planes also undertook an attack on bai- looms. 0f go hayTase balloons eight were destroyed. During this action seven British pursuit planes were shot down.
 'NThe enemys total losses for the day thus amount to co airplanes compared to the German ioss of i7 planes"
