 STILL FIGHTING
But Reports Sent Through Athens Are Not FavOr=
 ing Italian Group
BY BEN AYES limited Press Staff CorreSpOndcntl


 Athens, Greece, Nov. 13.-(UP)- British airplanes based in Greece have virtually destroyed the three main ports of Albania, including Durazzo, most modern port on the Adriatic. and have dealt smashing blows to Italian bases and muni- tions dumps behind the Creek Italian fighting lines, 1t was report ed officially today.
 A communique issued by "the Royal Air Force in Greece" said Durazzo, recently modelniZed by Italy at cost of several hundred thousand dollars and the main dis embarkation point for Italian troops in the Greek campaign, had been completely gutted" in a raid Mon- day: that three fires started on the jetty, later merging into one, and our pilots could still see it when 100 miles away on their homeward flight"
 At Valona, the second largest AL banian port. "all bombs were seen to fall in the target area and what probably was an ammunition dump was seen to blow up" the commu- nique said.
 Reports from Bitolj. Jugoslav border town 100 miles from Valona. said explosions, presumably the blowing up of the Valona munHions dumps, had shaken windows in many towns in that region and that frightened persons had fled to the mountains.)
 The third port bombed was San ta Quaranta. which according to Greek dispatches, has been pound- ed by the RAF day after day.
 Meanwhile, Greek troops were re- ported to be on the offensive along teh whole frontier. All three of the main Italian drives had been stopped: In the northern Koritza sector near the Jugoslav border; in

have to pass a stiff examination

Before the President started on

whichever you want to call it. he
sent warning telegram to Mar
tin Dies, the Texas Democrat and
Chairman of the House Commit
tee which has been investigating
un-American activities. Mr.. Dies
and his committee have put out
a great deal of publicity about the
activities of representatives OF
foreign agents in America. While
the President did not say to Mr..
Dies that he had been talking
through his hat, he did say that
carefully laid plans for the OBJ
tanning of further information
may be severely handicapped by
premature disclosures of facts or
of suggestions to the public, or,
by hasty seizure of evidence, or
by giving of immunities to wit
nesses."
That is long sentence, even
for the President. It is. taken in
Washington to mean that the
Dies Committee has turned up a
lot of damaging facts about Nazl,
Fascist, Soviet and japanese for
eign agents at work in this coun-
try but hasn't got its stuff in
shape where it would be wise to
make it public.
