Italian Air Activity
Centered at Bordio
BY EDWARD KENNEDY,

hoctIiatCo IiCsS WAL SOTIeSpOuQelt.
WITH BRITISH FORCES OUT
SIDE BARDIA, Libya, Dec. 81
The Italian airforce concentrated
its activity in the Bardia region to-
day in an attempt to impede the
British land forces surrounding this
Libyan outpost. italian bombing in
other parts of the desert was at a
minimum.
The British Royal Air Force con-
tinued the tactics it has employed
since the start of the British Of
fensive-heavy bombing of Libyan
air fields to keep the enemy on the
ground as much as possible.
Although there was no holiday
truce in this North African fighting
the bombing on both sides appeared
to be somewhat diminished Christ
mas Day and Night and land fight
ing around Bardia was limited MAIN
ly to an artillery duel, now in prog
resS five days. The British batteries
were being strengthened steadily by
arrival of new guns.
The generally greater Italian air
activity in the past week, particu-
larly the new tactic OF concentrating
the air bombardment. has led to a
belief among the British that a new
Italian air commander may have
taken charge.
The general situation around Bar
dia has not changed much in the
past few days. but all indications
point to real British drive to be
opened soon on the estimated 10000
Italians who>are besieged there.
Such an operation might we'll be
the most whitening yet undertaken
in the desert.

withdraw troops and materials from
that region.
Despite the lack of reinforcements.
however, the Fascist garrison under
Gen. Berti appeared determined to
put up fight to retain the strong
hold.
Reports reaching Cairo said the
Italians were moving some war ma
terials from Italy to Libya, but no
abnormally large shipments across
the Mediterranean were reported.
Hundreds of horses and mules left
behind by the Italians when they
retreated from Egypt are still roam
ing the western desert in groups,
seeking water and trying to Craze
on thorny shrubs, which are the
only vegetation.
The British are rounding up some
OF these animals, but many have
been SO frightened by the sounds

Prince Harald, 3, ir-presumptive

pictures with the Crown Prince be-
fore the press conference conducted
by the Crown Prince.
Flash Bulb Frightens Princess.
1t marked the first time that the
Crown Princess and the children had
posed for photographers since they
took up residence near Bethesda,
Md, this fall.
A bursting camera flash bulb
frightened Princess Astrid, who hid
for a moment behind her father S
broad back.
The Prince declined to comment
on the issue whether food should be
passed through the British blockade
to Norway and other German
occupied countries in Europe, but he
read from a statement prepared at
the Norwegian Legation which said:
From authoritative sources it is
learned that the Germans in Octo-
Der requisitioned in Norway 625 tons
of coffee. The amount of coffee
taken by the Germans in November
and December is given as 200 tons.
The Germans have taken 20 tons of
chocolate and large quantities of
cocoa
NaZis Seized Liquor.
During the time when the Nor
Wegian government wine monopoly
was closed the Germans requisi-
toned 100000 bottles of whisky for
their soldiers. 1t is practically i'm
possible to obtain bacon or meat.
According to reliable estimates, the
Germans are confiscating about
10000 pounds of meat in Oslo every
day but such orders are filled early
! in the morning. Eggs are requisi-
toned directly from the farms and
/ seldom, if ever, reach the public
markets.

The Crown Prince said that it is
obvious that the German Army of
Occupation is completely fed and
completely clothed in Norway, and
he thought that the situation was
similar in other German occupied
countries.
He said that now is the season
when usually the herring fishing
begins, but there is a question
whether the Germans will relax
their gasoline restriction enough
for the Norwegian fishermen to
operate their boats in a way that
will enable them to take full
advantage of the herring run.
t To Remain Until New Year.
The Prince, who arrived in Wash
ington Monday. plans to remain with
his family in Bethesda until after
New Year Day. This is the first
time he has seen them since April
when the battle for Norway opened.
From here he will 60 to Canada to
see the Norwegians in training for
the air force and navy. He probably
will visit Toronto and Ottawa and
call upon his uncle, the Earl of Ath-
| lone, the brother of the Dowager
| Queen Mary of England.
The Crown Prince is a nephew of
the late King George V, Queen
Mary's husband.
The Crown Prince has never been
to Canada, although he visited in
the United States for 10 weeks last
year.
