By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS

Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 London, Dec. 6-(UP)-Britain'S 20,122-ton merchant cruiser Carnar- von Castle-apparently operating close to or within the American safety zone-battled fast German sea raider disguised as 8 merchant ship in the South Atlantic ocean, the admiralty said today, and chased the enemy northward "at high speed"
 The engagement reportedly took place yesterday about TOO miles northeast of Montevideo, Uruguay, not far from the scene of the battle that destroyed the Nazi pocket bat tleship Graf Spec. (The exact posi- tion was not disclosed but it was indicated as of the coast of South Brazil, and would probably fall within the zone set up by the Pan- American conference as a safety belt0
 The British vessel suffered slight damage and some casualties" &C., cording to the admiralty commit nique, but the action against the heavily armed German vessel was at such long range that the Carnarvon Castle as unable to get close enough to attempt death blow or deter mine what damage was inflicted.
 Several Raiders Reported
 Several NaZi sea raiders have been reported in action at widely separ- ated points in the North and South Atlantic recently in coordination with German U-boat attacks on British conveys and the British navy has been seeking to run them down.
 Informed sources believed it prob able that the Carnavon Castle en- countered the German raider close to the normal trade route between Buenos Aires and Britain.
 Unless the speed of the British vessel was reduced by enemy action. she was assumed capable of about 20 knots which would indicate that the German warship was an ex- tremely speedy craft.

Greeks Strike Continuously

The Greek advance continues as the Italians pour northward from Porto Edda, choking the road along the coast toward Port Palermo" communique said.
 Port Palermo is 20 miles north of Porto Edda on the old coast road, which dwindleS of to a mule path before it reaches Valona, sec ond largest Albanian port, 70 miles north.
 Waited "A Hours
 The Greeks had stood before Porto Edda more than 24 hours waiting for the Italians to evacuate under shell fire before they entered and occupied the city this morning. The Italians threw up rear guard of tanks and armored cars to hold the Greeks of until their main force could retreat north, and the Greek commanders were said to have held their men back, rather than let them rush headlong into the city, as the Greek Evzone troops partica ularly wanted to do, and risk neellR less loss of life z
 Earlier in the campaign, Porto Edda had been a base for the lardh ing of Italian troops and supplies fO@ the south front. It formerly was called Santa Quaranti. After the conquered Albania, the Italians re- named it for their countess, the wife of Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano.
 The Greeks took it from the south sweeping up the coast from th& KonispoliS region as the Italians res treated ahead of them, burning tho supplies they could not carry along These fires were seen for days on the Island of Corfu off the GreeA and Albanian coast.

 Fighting also has been resumed on the Sidi Barrani sector in Egypt after comparative quiet for three months on the front which Fascist troops pushed 75 miles into Egypt.
 No specific reason was given for resignation of Badoglio, but it had been known for long time that he desired to be relieved of his post.
