Nazis Say Subs :

BERLIN, Aug. "a (UP)-The high
command claimed today to have
sunk the armed British merchant
ship Turakina, 8,706 tons, in Aus
tralian waters.
The high command said subma-
rines have sunk more than 100000
tons of British shipping during the
past eight days. No clue was given
as to how the Turakina was at
tackled, the communique saying
merely that it had been sunk by
German naval forces operating in
Australian waters.
One submarine was credited with
sinking $1,000 tons of British ship
ping and another was said to have
destroyed the British merchantmen
Severnleigh, 5,242 tons, the Brock
wood, 5,l00 tons and a ship of 1000

Guns and Planes
Bomburd Dover

DOVER, England, Aug. "a tUP)
German big guns, firing from
across the English channel, and
German airplanes in two great
waves combined in bombardment
of this town today.
The guns pumped shells into the
town, damaging civilian property
but causing few casualties.
Almost at the same time two
waves of German planes swept out
of the morning sun to the attack.
While the shelling still proceeded
a United Press correspondent visited
the spot where the first shell had
landed, demolishing half of a
small house in which two people
were wounded but baby near them
strangely escaped.
1t was impossible to determine
the extent of the damage during
the period the planes were over
the coast.
The first shell arrived out of
brilliant blue sky, just before
arrival of the sound of the gun
which fired it from the French
coast. Other shells arrived later but
after few salvoes the shelling
ceased.
Suddenly there was a thunder
of planes, flying very high over
the coast. Two or three from the
formation sWerved to attack three
small boats anchored close to
shore under cliffs.
Seven bombs fell around the
boats but none was hit Then came
the roar of a long bomb barrage
inland, presumably an attack on
an airdrome. British fighters inter-
cepted the Germans and after a
hot fight in which one twin en-
gined plane was shot down off the
coast the Germans broke their
formation and vanished out to sea-

Italy viii Insist
Greeks Renounce
PACT With Britain

ROME, Aug. "a (UP) = Itlay
will insist that Greece renounce
the guarantee of its territorial
integrity Great Britain gave it,
well informed sources said today,
and it was added that any move
by Britain to force the issue be-
tween italy and Greece would re-
suit in immediate Italian counter
steps.
Tension between Italy and
Greece seemed to be increasing. 1t
denied that Italy had handed an
ultimatum to Greece demanding
remuneration of the British guar
antee but it was asserted that Brit
ain was putting pressure on Greece
to maintain the present state of
British Greek relations.
According to usually we'll inform
ed sources, the Italian viewpoint
is that Greek collaboration with
Britain must cease because it in
terferes with the ":axis blockade"
against Britain.
1t was suggested in diplomatic
quarters that demands on Greece
for territory in Albania's behalf
might hinge on the extent to which
Greece shook off British influence.
Authoritative opinion seemed to
be that if Greece abandoned close
relations with Britain, Italo-Greek
tension would be eased at once and
that a solution of the. alleged
Greek-Albanian problem would
soon be found.
Itlay's aim seemed to be to wipe
out British influence throughout
