Sudden British Attack
Left Them Helpless,
Italian Sailors Say
Enormous Casualties in
Seq Bottle Reported
By Survivors
BY J. IVES GALLAGHER,


ATHENS, April 3.-Survivors of
the Italian cruisers Fiume and
lara and the destroyer Alfieri de-
clared on their arrival here last
night that British Warships de-
stroyed their craft in last week end S
naval battle 10 minutes before we
were able to fire a single shot, and
caused enormous casualties"
Rescued by Greek warship, the
Fascist sailors said hundreds of sea-
men and petty officers, trapped be-
low decks, went down with the
italian ships when the British
opened fire Friday night.
A 21-year-old gunner on the
Fiume, one of the few on duty when
the smashing British attack was
launched, said:
I'VE were cruising along about 9
o'clock Friday night when suddenly
In the distance, about three or four
miles away, big searchlights flashed
on us.
For a few seconds we thought
they were the lights of another
italian cruiser although we had
sighted one British warship just be-
fore dark.
"A salvo of shells almost imme-
diately followed the Searchlight and
simultaneously we were hit by
torpedo.
Before we could bring a single
gun into action the ship was listing
too badly to fire.
THE ship started settling. I just
had time to jump aboard life raft
floating alongside as the Fumes
deck went under. I'm sure hun
dreds of others were trapped below
deck"
Other survivors told a similar
story, but the action was so swift
many did not know exactly what
happened.
One young sailor told a narrowing
story of how two men went mad on
an overburdened raft.
Our raft" he related, already
was overcrowded and a foot under
water when the men began fighting
among themselves.
The raft tipped and spilled all of
us into the sea. Just nine of us
were able to get back on the raft.
The others drowned.
I'VE were adrift 80 hours until
picked up by the Greek ship"
Those rescued did not know what
happened to the 35,000-ton Italian
battleship Vittorio Veneto because
they said it was several miles away.

BottIeship Valiant Credited
With Major Role in Bottle

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, April 3 Op),
The battleship Valiant, heaviest
armed of the British Mediterranean
feet, was credited today with the
major role in the destruction of
Italy's two prize 10000-ton cruisers,
nle Fiume and the Zara, during last
Fridays sea battle south of Crete.
Capt. Charles Eric Morgan,
descendant OF the famous Welsh
bucaneers Henry Morgan, who
plundered the West Indies in the
17th century, said his gunners on
the Valiant scored direct hits with
at least rs per cent of the projectiles
they flung at the two cruisers.
The targets of the 30,600-ton
Valiant's shells were Lit by Mid
shipman Prince Phillip. 19-year old
first cousin of King George of
Greece, who was in charge of the
searchlight-control room.
With the help of her classmate,
the Warspite, Capt. Morgan said,
the Valiant turned the Fiume and
the cara into colossal masses of
fire" Many 15-inch shells pene-
trated the cruisers 6-inch armour
and exploded inside.
1T was a most ghastly sight. The
Fiume seemed to just burst out
ami6ships."
The Warspite opened with the
first broadside and 7 seconds
later the Vaiant's guns roared, fol-
lowed by the 81 ,100-ton Barham's.
"Only minutes 6 seconds elapsed
from the Warspite's broadsides to
the Barham's.
Great glows from the Fiume
Illuminated the darkness as if some
one had thrown a log on a fire. The
whole ship seemed to disintegrate,
many Of our shells exploding inside
her, turning her into a raging in
ferno."
With the Fume out Of action, the
Valiant turned on the cara and
poured IS tons of projectiles into
her.

WPA UNDERTAKING
 HOUSING SURVEY
City Being Key Defense Community Government
 Checks Facilities

The WPA sponsored survey of dwelling unit vacancies and rooms for rent was scheduled to start in Waterbury today. This city has been selected as one of the key defense communities of the nation in which these check-upS are being made simultaneously.
 The local survey will be in charge cf Raymond M. Greeley and is des- iynated as WPA Nation Wide Re- search project.
 Its purpose is to determine the number of unoccupied homes in this city and surrounding neighborhood; {; what percentage is available for rent; condition of the same; various facilities; number of rooms avail able; rent demanded.
 The information is being sought by the Defense Housing Coordinator and it is thought that it will be used in further defense housing plans involving Waterbury, although this city is at present scheduled to have a 300-defense housing unit started here shortly, according to dispatches from Washington.
 In view of the fact that the in- formation demanded must be sup piled within a short time only a sample survey can be taken in Waterbury. WPA officials, claim, however, that they are reliable and have proved satisfactory in determ- ming proportionate dwelling unit vacancies.
 At least two weeks, though, will be spent on the local survey.

CORNELL ANALYzES IMMORTAL SPEECH
Pays Tribute to Abraham Lincoln at Father=SOn
 Banquet Last Night

'It is great to know that this country produced man who viii live forever, Paul Lincoln Cornell president of Romford School SaiG about the immortal Abraham Line oln in an address before nearly 200 persons at the Mill Plain Mems club father and son banquet at Mill Plain Union church last night.
 "Take him to your heart. study his life; you'll find him the greatest friend you ever had" MT. Cornell concluded.
 Regarded as one of the country s greatest authorities on the life of Lincoln. MT. Cornell frankly stated that Lincoln has been his ideal, and that If he has been successful copywriter, it was due in large meas ure to the fact that he copied Iincol1s style.
 MT. Cornell dwelt at great length on Lincoln's great classic, the Get tsyburg Address. In part, he said, "Of the 266 words, 200 were of one syllable, A were of two syllables and the rest were three words. It is the greatest classic in the English language, yet Lincoln was berated, belittled and scorned, because of 1t. The word dedicate occurs six times expressly and four times by impli- cation. Where did he get the thought that burned a furrow in his mind? Well, I'll tell you. AS a boy Lincoln was a surveyor and if you will read the old surveyors records you'll find frequent reference to the phrase, we dedicate this portion of the field,' that's where Lincoln got the word.
 Lincoln always had a definite structure in his writings and speech es. An analysis shows he makes the statement, demonstrates it and then dedicates himself to 1t. Where did he get the orderliness of thought and conformity of practice? AS boy he read the Declaration of h. dependence and if you will examine the Declaration of Independence you will find that same structure.
 Lincoln believed in religion. He saw in religion a way of life and hope for humanity"
 Robert Haley, headmaster at Rom- ford, spoke briefly on sportsmanship Rev. Matthew Madden introduced both speakers. Baseball movies were shown following the speeches.

FIRE BOARD HOLDS
 SPECIAL MEETING
Action Expected Today or Awarding Contract for
 New Pumper

If provisions which the city fire commissioners specified to three low bidders last week for the purchase of a 750gallon bumper are in- cluded in proposals by representa- tives, action will be taken to award the contract at the boards special meeting this afternoon.
 The contract was to have been granted last Friday, but variations by the then two apparently low bid- ders from the city's specifications resulted in a stalemate and deci- sion was reserved until today's meeting.
 Ward LaFrance and the Buffalo Fire Apparatus Co.,, through their representatives, as well as the Maxim Motors Co, were contacted for more information regarding their quotation.
 The Buffalo Go. and the Ward LaFrance firm were the two lowest bidders when proposals were sub- mitted 10 days ago, but in exam ination departures were noted in the proposals and consequently did not meet with the approval of the com- missioners. AS result of the dis crepancies by the two low bidders, decision last Friday favored the Maxim Go. as being the closest to the specifications.
 Where the new engine will be placed after it is purchased, Chief Thomas F. Cayanaugh said he was undecided, but indicated that the Brooklyn station now houses an ap- partus which has been in service for 26 years and is the oldest piece of equipment in the city.
 Two of the recently purchased apparatus were assigned to Engine Co. 6 on Willow stret. which was bought last year and another pur- chased in 1889 from the Maxim com- pany has replaced an apparatus ct Engine Go. { on Baldwin street.
