WASHINGTON.-Believe it or
not, bicvcles are more popular to-

than the previously recorded
peak of 1,182,692 in 1899 and

U. S. Defense
Is Very Weak
Weapon Figures
Reveal Shortages

WASHINGTON 49, National de-
tense experts on Capitol Hill have
striyen vsinly for ten days to rec.
oncile FDR.'s bright picture Of
the Army-Navy-Air setup with
figures provided by the heads Of
those respective establishments
The only safe conclusion they can
draw is that the United States is
far weaker than the man on the
street realizes.
II is our shortage Of the very
weapons which fabricate q blitz-
kreig-or enable a nation to de-
fend itself against one - which
startles them. Here is a summary
of Chief Of Staff Marshall's testi-
mony with respect to motorized
and mechanical equipment: The
first figure represents the number
on hand, while the second Is the
number ION order" but not due

eighteen months: 3-inch snti-air-

We have no heavy tanks on hand
or ordered, and so far contemplate
none, though they have been one
of Hitler's most effective weapons.
Our supply of pontoon bridges con-
sists of two. lotion and 23-ton
affairs, respectively.
Official Spokesman credit us
with from 1000 to 1000 planes
Actually we have 2,707 fighting
ships. of which lips are rated as
obsolete. These same shortages
exist with respect to combat cars,
coast defense. railroad artillery,
naval material, ammunition. In
short, we lack everything that
would enable us to hold the kind
of foe that drove Britain's soldiery
off the edge of the continent and
into the water

British i'm Own 'BIitz
Against Foes i'm Egypt

LONDON, Dec. 10. CUP)-British
land, air and sea forces blasted a
path in Blitzkrieg style through
Italian lines in the deserts of west
ern Egypt and reached the Medit-
erranean coast, Prime Minister
Winston Churchill told the House
of Commons today in reporting a
successful preliminary phase" of
operations in North Africa.
(At Cairo the British Middle East
command said that more than 1000
prisoners were reported taken, to-
gether with a number of medium
tanks, in the western desert action
which it described as successfully
continuing
The British attack against the
Italians appeared to have cut off
advance Fascist forces at the Egyp-
tian town of Sidi Barrani, but
Churchill would not confirm that
suggestion
He did, however, disclose that
British heavy bombers had strafed
italian bases and airdromes, that
fighter planes power dived and ma
chine gunned italian infantry and
transport lines, that the naval and
air force bombed Sidi Barrani and

Greeks Push on
To New Conquest

planted by the retreating Italians.
Strong Greek garrisons were re-
ported pouring into Argyrokastron
as safeguard against Italian
only 80 miles south of the big port
counter-attack on that important
base.
A dispatch from United Press
correspondents at ArgyrokaStron
said police were restoring normal
civilian life and Greek troops had
taken up the cry: Christmas in
Tirana (Albanian capital)"
The advance in that sector was
slowed while volunteers hunted out
the mines-devices resembling long,
flat loaves of peasant bread-bur-
led in shallow mud with their per-
cuSSion caps exposed for passing
cars or trucks to explode them.
Behind the mine locaterS came
armored cars and on both sides
Greek mountaineerS moved from
ridge to ridge along the deep Brinos
Valley, carrying the main advance
The Greeks used more than / 1000
mules and mountain ponies in this
sector to do the work that mechan-
lied supply trains did for the Ital-
ians. When food ran low they for
aged in the countryside. Munitions
abandoned by the italians kept the
Greek advance guard we'll supplied,
and at times the Greeks seemed to
be operating without regard to
communications Or supply lines.
Tepelini, l8 miles northwest of
ArgyrokaStron, is the next objec-
tive on that sector and a Greek
column from captured Premeti, on
the lower end of the central front
was moving close to Tepelini from
the west. AT last reports, this Pre-
nett column was within 10 miles
of the objective.

cision comes we will win. But only
we will choose the time"
But he added, as if the time had
not yet come:
1T was worth our while to wait
little. The German people can
stand it. They will appreciate it if

many sacrifices that can thus be
avoided

foothold on the continent again
it will again get to know us"
