British Push On
Along Two Fronts
In East Africa
BY LII. l.. PERCY

LONDON, Jan. q. CUP)- British
empire troops are advancing stead
lily on two fronts in east Africa,
threatening Italian Eritrea in the
north and the Ethiopian frontier
region in the south, dispatches dis
closed today
An empire force has penetrated
more than Is miles into Eritrea,
and threatens to make successful
stand by the retreating Italians i'm
possible for the moment.
A second force including south
Africans is advancing from Kenya
toward the Lake Rudolf area OF
Ethiopia from the south.
The British in the north have ad-
vanced more than 80 miles from
Kassala, the frontier town on the
Sudan side of the frontier which
the Italians occupied as soon as
they entered the war. They are adj
vancing steadily in two columns,
with a force of between 5000 and
5000 Italians retreating in orderly
manner ahead of them.
One of the British columns, which
took the italian area of Saberdat in
Eritrea, is now moving toward the
Red Sea coast, threatening a most
important railroad, while the sec
ond dominates routes both to the
coast and into Ethiopia on the
Suth.

Swastika Incident
Closed, Declares
German Embassy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)-
A German embassy official said to-
day that the embassy considered as
closed the incident involving the
tearing down of the Nazi flag
from the German consulate i2 San
Francisco.
Prompt expression of regret by
the state department and action by
local authorities and the navy
against the two offending seamen
were cited as satisfactory measures.
Municipal Judge Peter Mullins
of San Francisco found the two
navy enlisted men, Harold Sturte-
want, %, and E. G. Lackey, 20,
guilty of charge of malicious mis-
chief. He deferred sentence until
Thursday, admoniShing the youths
and the crowd that urged them on
that Americans cannot hope TO
maintain the respect of other ma
tions if we do not observe the rights
of others"
The navy department announced
that Rear Admiral A. j. Hepburn
commandant Of the 18th naval dis
trict, has ordered a through inveS-
tigation of the incident. The navy
said the men were at liberty at the
time of the incident-noon Satur-
day-from the U. S. naval hospital
at Mare Island. They were under
observation in the psychopathic
ward and the navy said the pre-
liminary report indicates that these
two men while melted by turbu-
lent crowd Of about 1000 persons
committed the offense.

Ex-New Hampshire
Governor Believed
Ambassador Choice
BY WILLIAM ii. LAWRENCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il. (UPD-
John Gilbert Winant, liberal Re-
publican and former governor of
New Hampshire, will be President
Roosevelt's choice as ambassador to
Great Britain, an excellent authori-
ty disclosed today.
The White House would not con-
firm the report.
Winant, here for the inaugural
ton, said early today he had seen
stories referring to him as the next
likely ambassador to Britain but
don't want to make any state
ment on them"
Mr.. Roosevelt has announced
plans to send to the senate soon his
nomination cf a successor for Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, retiring ambassa-
dor, who presented his resignation
immediately after Mr. Roosevelt S
election to a third term. The presi-
dent told a press conference about
a week ago that he had picked
Kennedy'S successor.
Wlnant, governor of New Hamp-
shire in 1925 and 1926 and from
1931to 1884, long has had an inter-
est in labor problems and social
legislation. He was first chairman
of the social security board, head
ed the textile labor board of 1884
and since 1889 has been director of
the International labor office, which
serves the United States and men,
Der nations of the League of Ma
tens.
With British labor rising to a
position of preeminence in the war
cabinet and with all indications
pointing to major social changes in
postwar Britain if her armies are
victorious, Winant was considered
by White House advisers to be an
American representative who could
strike the common denominator
among the labor and wealthy
classes. Winant, himself, is very
wealthy man. but his career for the
last decade has centered on labor
problems.
There were suggestions from
other Washington quarters that Wi
nant'S appointment as ambassador,
and the subsequent vacancy in the
international labor office director
ship, might provide berth for Sec
retary of Labor Frances Perkins
No immediate transfer is thought
UrCD9blC hut IL uyaC t,oiptod otit
that Madame Perkins could move
to the $40, ,000-a-ycar ILO job with
cut the suggestion of a demotion
from her $4,000 annual cabinet
post.
Winant is a Roosevelt confidant,
and probably would be satisfactory
to the British government which is
sending Lord Halifax, former Brit
ISL foreign secretary, to Washing
ton to succeed the late Lord Lo-
THAN as ambassador.

had been foremost in discussions.
that Germany and Italy had agreed
on a uniiied war command as the
result of which, presumably. Ger
man military chie.tans would direct
a joint campaign against Britain
in the Mediterranean.
However generalized their articles
we're, the inspired newspapers were
so pre-occupicd with them, and
with articles on other topics, that
only two found room even to mem
ton the Inauguration of President
Roosevelt for the first third term
ever accorded an American chief
executive.
The two which did mention the
Inauguration, the Deutcche Allge-
meine Zietung and the Lakalanzie-
ger covered it in one brief para
graph on inside pages.
The newspapers limited darkly
at hammer blows against Britain
and emphasized the indivisibility of
the Axis. They reminded readers
that each of the eight previous
meetings between Hitler and Mus
solini had been followed by big
happenings.
ACTIONS which followed each
meeting spoke in unmistakable
language" said the Lokalanzeiger.
This time also. they will answer
the English rumor mongers and
pettifoggers who may precipitate
themselves into meddlesome specu-
lations."
The newspapers as if by design
emphasized the recent combined
German Italian operations in the
Mediterranean. For some days, by
apparently intentional ''indiscre-
tions," German quarters had been
mentioning the flow of German war
materials to Italy in great guam
titles, and had been saying that the
new airplane raids on Malta we're
of great significance.
For some days before the Hitler
Mussolini meeting the newspapers
had emphasized the danger to Bri-
tish communications in the Medi-
terranean from German dive bomb
ing planes.

Attack on Tobruk
Garrison Begins

CAIRO, Jan. 81. CUP)-The Mid
die East general headquarters today
reported that the attack against
Tobruk, besieged italian garrison
in Libya, began early today.
Operations" said the high COM
mand, ARE proceeding satisfactor-
ily."
The high commands communique
indicated that the British, having
placed the Italian base under siege,
were now moving in against the
Fascist gari ;son estimated to num-
Der between 10000 and 10000 troops.
Preparations for the attack on
Tobruk began even before the Bri-
tish took the italian garrison at
Bardia, between Tobruk and the
Eyyption frontier. AS was the case
before the assault on Bardia, Brit
ish land and air forces have besieg-
ed Tobruk and have subjected the
port to terrific bombardment to
soften it up for the attack.
British general headquarters said
that lin the ,Kassala area our troops
are vigorously pursuing Italian
forces which are continuing their
withdrawal east of the frontier"
KaSsala is in the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan. across the border from Ital-
ian Eritrea. 1t was occupied by
italian forces soon after Italy en-
tered the war. British troops not
Cnly have retaken KaSsala but they
have invaded Eritrea, occupying
the posts of Sabderat and Tessenei
Today's communique Indicated
that the Italians mere to be given
no opportunity to reorganize their
forces retreating from Eritrean
points.
Ahead of the British, Royal Air
Force planes are bombing and

'Italians and heavily attacking their

south of Saberdat.
1t was believed in military quar-
ters here that the British might
be trying to push part of the Ial-
ians down into Ethiopia, where
they would have hostile tribesmen
behind them.
The Italians are retreating, not
fleeing, it was emphasized Mill
tary men said they could have made
stand at Tessenei, that they had
a considerable force there and that
the terrain, with rising ground on
each side of the road, would have
favored them.

vichy Says Hitler
VIII Meet Franco

VICHY, Jan. 81. CUP)-An un-
confirmed report circulated here
today that Adolf Hitler will confer
with Gen. Francisco Franco as a
result of his conversations with
Benito Mussolini.
There was no indication here
as to the reason for possible Hit
ler-Franco conference.
(The Vichy report if true, appar-
emily would indicate that the Hit
ler-Mussolini conversations includ-
ed the subject of Spain's relations
with the Axis. Reports have circu-
lated frequently Of a German move
. through Spain for an attack upon
Gibraltar. Yesterday, the Spanish
press reported that planes, believed
to be German, made reconnaissance
flights over Gibraltar. 1t was the
first time since start of the war
that Nazi planes had been reported
over Gibraltar)

BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY OF
THE NILE BEFORE TOBRUK,
Jan. 81. CUP)-,British forces now
attacking besieged italians at To-
bruk already have thrust far west
ward along the Libyan coast Ar
mored patrols have made recon-
naissance raids Elto the defenses
of Derna, 13O miles away, and have
found that the italian seaplanc
base at Bomba, 48 miles east of
Tobruk, has been abandoned.
BY pushing westward past Bomba
and into the outer defenses of Der
ma the British have followed the
tactics used ever before they re-
ouced Bardia to surrender. With
Bardia still under siege last month
British mechaniZed units numbered
around the city and began feeling
out Tobruk, which now is under
assault by land forces after soft
ening up by the Royal Air Force.
British advance columns already
were reported to have consolidated
their positions along the coast be-
tween Tobruk and Derna. RAF Di-
lots who have raided Derna re-
peatedly said there were no Italian
planes there and that anti-aircraft
fire at Derna was not nearly on
the scale of that encountered at
Tobruk.
A British armorcd column has been
able to make reconnaissance at
Bomba, in which the Italians spent
millions of lire to develop their
! strongest seaplane base in North
Africa. The armored car unit found

Assassination of a German army
officer in Bucharest, described to-
day in dispatches from Berlin
may be one more indication cf
developing reSentments in Europe
against Adolf Hitler's new order
It is to be expected that oppos!-
ton to the German occupationists
will increase as the axis hope OF
victory fades.
Violence against the Germans
in Bucharest can be interpreted as
representing the gradual spread Of
convictions in the Balkans that
the totalitarian dictatorS are los
ing their grip. In other German
occupied areas of the continent q
like belief is beginning to be re-
vealed.
Announcement was made only q
few days ago that heavy penalties
had been devised by the Germans
to try to suppress anti-Nazi move
ments in Holland There have been
many acts of sabotage and propa
ganda in recent weeks among the
Dutch who are growing bolder in
their nationalistic conduct.
Norwegians, too, are showing
some resistance to German action
within their country. Pro-NaZi
Norwegian leaders are meeting with
domestic opposition and are being
called traitors.

denceS of growing antagonism

any parties, such as Chang kal-
Shek, who are resisting Japan, and
by cooperating with those who SYM
pathize with Japan" the premier
said.
Matsuoka gave parliament long
outline of the governments foreign
policy.
The United States, Matsuoka said,
had shown no adequate understand
ing of the vital importance to jap
an of its Greater Asia common
prosperity sphere
"She apparently entertains the
idea that her own first line of de-
fense lies along the mid-Atlantic
to the east but that to the west
it lies not only along the eastern
Pacific but even as far as China
and the South Seas . for one
believe that such position assum-
ed on the part of the United States
would not be calculated TO contrib
ute toward the promotion of worlo
peace.
Speaking frankly 1 should ex-
tremely regret such an attitude o.
the United States for the sake o.
anese-American friendship, fol
the sake of peace in the Pacific anc
also for the sake of peace in the
world in general.
1T is my earnest hope that that
great nation, exerting the influence
that the United States legitimately
enjoys, will realize her hope for
the maintenance of peace, will re-
fleet deeply on her attitude with
God fearing duty . and will bend
her utmost efforts to allay the i'm

not restrain Japan's program, Pre-

the Diet today after Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Hatsuoka, outlining
Japan's foreign policy, spoke frank

Konoye said that establishment

unprecedented difficulties and must
redouble it's efforts to cope with
them.
