Italian Press Threatens
Biq Air Bombardment
BY the Associated Press.

by tlle ASSOclaIeO Press.
ROME, Nov. 9.-The Italian press
today cried threats of a "tremen-
dous air bombardment of England
and its Allies"
The concerted action of the radio
and newspapers in declaring that
italian bombers were preparing
great reprisals against the British
and their Allies was presumed to
mean that Greek centers shortly
would undergo heavy air attacks,
since italian flyers already are par
ticipating in the assault on England.
On the military side, the high
command announced that the Ital-
ian Army was reinforcing its bridge
heads on the eastern side of the
Kalamas River.
Dispatches dwelt on the dificult
terrain in western Greece, and in
Dictated that any thought of a blitz-
Hrieg in Greece must be given up
Some sources here expressed the
view, however, that HEAVIER air at
tacks might sufficiently weaken
Greek resistance.
|. British pilots who raided sections
of northern Italy last night were
officially accused Of having dropped
bombs near a maternity hospital,
a ssnatorium and a military hos
pital and barracks in Turin.
Altogether, the Italian dead were
put at 10.

The North Atlantic Ocean seems

ton, the control of the shipping
