the excavation of 100000 cubic

The base would include under
ground hangers, shops and storage
facilities for plane parts. Dudley
said the civil aeronautics board and
the United States aeronautic cham

appeared to have been effective on
the coastal sector despite small
Greek gains in the mountains of

Fascist troops had made effective
surprise thrusts at the Greeks and
that naval forces had bombarded

difficulties may have grown up
in Italy as result of the Fascist
reverses in Albanian and Libya.
there were other indications that
the Germ a II S might encounter

There is continued congressional
demand for an inquiry into national

more fully into the presidents con-
