Enroute from Greenock to Corpus

Haxby sighted what appeared to be
a Greek ship: A moment later the
vessel crossed her bows and began
firing without warning.
"They killed 16 of my men, smash

bronzed veteran of Scapa Flow in

The "a survivors among the Hax-

War Interpretive
Continued from Page One)

Italy by now that her Axis partner
ship with Germany has led her tc
a disaster of incalcuable conse
quences at home and abroad.
Even if Badoglio got out merely
to give a younger man the director
generalship of Mussolini's camA
paign to break Greece's back at
any cost, the implication remains
that he disapproves the methods
selected.
The timing of operations to re-
trieve lost prestige against Greece
could be the bone of contention.
Badoglio is an old school soldier,
probably not greatly impressed by
the Hitler military daring" which
II Duce has so extravagantly eulo-
gized.
London has rumbled for many
days with portents of a major Brit
ish offensive against Italy. The
Fascist high command, from Mus
solini down, must have been losing
sleep over that and the debacle in
Greece.
Sharp Conflict
Political and military e%xigencies
well may be in sharp conflict in
Rome's policy making. Italian
armies in Egypt as well as Al
bania have been imperilled. The
unfavorable impact of Greek vic
tories on Axis politico . military
maneuvering in the Balkans is OBJ
vious. 1t is emphasized by Turkish
and Bulgarian resistance. Russian
tongue-in-cheek waiting for devel-
opments and Spanish aloofness
from the Axis war orbit.
A policy split between Mussolini
and Badoglio might turn on just
when and how Mussolini's break
Greece's back" pledge is to be
fulfilled. If the policy now to be
pursued calls for immediate mass
ing of a huge new army in Albania
for a winter campaign. Badoglio's
successor will have his hands full.
Major military operations in the
winter . gripped Greek : Albanian
mountain region will not be easy
for the Fascist army which relies
primarily on mechanical equip
ment. 1t is an almost roadless ter
rain at best. War havoc has fur
ther impeded large scale opera
tons and winter has added SHOWS
and flooded streams to Greek de-
lenses.
Even getting a huge new army
to Albania will be a heavy job.
All Albanian ports and sheltered
beaches nov are menaced by close
based British-G Greek bombers. Ital-
ian embarkation ports Gro the
straits of Otranto also r under
fire.
Badoglio was drafted to pick up
the pieces of an almost stalled
Italian attack in Ethiopia and
made a job of it that cemented his
previously doubtful relations with
II Duce. He did it, however, on
his own terms and in his own way.
He took his time and made road
building a prime element of his
campaign.
Time and much road building
would seem to be essential to re-
neWal of the Italian thrust at
Greece from Albania. It is possible
that II Duce, for reasons Of per-
sonal pride and prestige or even
for more serious reasons of waning
Italian morale, can not grant that
time to his army command, l

Billy Bullock, who surprised nearly

Rightmire with the first punch of

Ray Avis and Goldie Ahearn, who

the pair listed for an eight-round
supporting bout to the Bill Boyd
Buddy Moore 10-round feature and
if Rightmire is right it may steal
the show. The blond youngster
couldn't imagine what hit him after
they scraped him of the carpet in
that Inflated first meeting and is
hankering to prove it was a f1uke
knockout.
Rightmire has long been listed
among the top-fight featherweights
and frequently has had to go out of
his class to get competition.
Bullock, a good club fighter who
failed to achieve stardom, was stop
ped by Irving Eldridge at st.

In the event that he was too badly
injured to box Monday another op-
