One town was reported by the

Ports Defenses; Raj
Bombs Garrison

CAIRO, Dec. 20.-R-The Bri-
ish army of the Nile had COM
pletely surrounded Bardia tonight
and was moving up reinforcements
for a final assault on the Libyan
port.
Trapped within the city were an
estimated 20, 1000 Italians behind a
17-mile perimeter of concrete pill
boxes, artillery batteries, machine
gun nests and tank pits.
British advance forces were re-
ported to be engaged in a fierce
struggle with the Italians, W o
were pouring heavy artillery shells
on the enemy's slowly advancing
tank and motorized units.
Resembles Siege
The enlightenment of Bardia re
sembled a siege, with British bat
teries firmly established at all
points around the town Smelling its
defenses almost continuously,
while the Raj fliers bombed the
garrison repeatedly and warshlps
pounded away at the waterfront.
Other British forces mopping up
in the desert area fought to GUST
an italian garrison from the Oasis
of Giarabub, 100 miles due south
of the coast and about 20 miles
west of the Egyptian frontier.
Tough colonial cavalrymen from
Australia engaged the Italians
near the oasis for three days, 1t
was revealed, taking some prls-
oners and equipment.
The rest of the Italians escaped,
holed up and tonight were report
ed still holding out against heavy
British pressure.
The oasis contains buildings and
monuments sacred to the Senussl
sect and the British were said TO
have refrained from bombing the
place for this reason.

Of knocking Italy out of the war
before the struggle between Ger

That raid means that the Italian

force in Libya, is in deadly peril.
Its vital southern defensive flank
ashore is already crumpling under

British naval attack; and it's life

William S. Knudsen Asked
To Serve As Director Of
New Organization
HILLMAN IS INCLUDED
Three Subdivisions Will
Handle Materials, Pur-
chasing, Priorities
BY U G B.. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-RE
President Roosevelt designated two
of his defense commissioners and
his War and Navy secretaries to-
day as a new high command
charged with the momentous job OF
stimulating America to greater
arms production.
He asked William S. Knudsen,
now industrial production boss OF
the defense commission, to serve
as director of a new organization
an office for production manage
ment for defense. That office, he
explained, will be created by au-
thority of the government reor'
ganization act of 1885,.
Hillman Also Named
Sidney Hilman, in charge Of
labor problems for the defense
commission, will. be assistant di-
rector, and secretaries Stimson and
Knox will be the other members.
Three subdivisions, MI. Roose-
welt told reporters, will handle pro-
duction of raw materials, defense
purchasing and priorities on de-
liveries of war supplies.
The decision to create the new
office followed repeated d~eclara-
tions-by Knudsen, among others
that the defense program was be-
hind schedule.
There had b frequent &C.
mands, too, that the President ap-
point a chairman of the defense
commission or select some one
Individual to head the enormous
program for obtaining war equip
ment.
But the chief executive, who
called in reporters to explain the
new arrangement, asserted today
it was impossible to find one Car,
Poohbah or Akhoond of Swat to
take over the task. That, he ex-
planned, resulted from the fact that
in every process Of production
three elements were involved
labor, management and the buy
CRUISER.

In the new office, he explained,

ment, Hillman labor, and Knox
