Governor Hurley Will Meet Some Opposition
His Recommendation Regarding Public Utilities Is Bound to Run Up Against Very Determined
 Republican Group
Special to The DemOcratl

Hartford, Jan. 10 Governor Robert A. Hurley's recommendations regarding public utilities face oppo- sition from a determined Republi- can group in the General Assembly and may be the cause of one of the major controversies of the legisla- tive session. Already efforts have been started to line up votes against the governors proposals when they are submitted in the form of bills.
 Among the governors recom- mendationS in the utility field are that it be made easier for cities and towns to set up their own elec- trio light and power plants, that utility companies be more strictly regulated, that more just tax base be established for them, that proper rate structures" be sought, and that the books of utility com panies be audited periodically at the companies expense.
 Powerful Influence
 Even should his legislative pro- gram in regard to utilities fail of adoptions, Governor Hurley will be able to wield a powerful influence over utilities. Two of the three places on the public utilities com- mission become vacant this year and will be filled by appointment of the new governor.
 The Republican legislative pro- gram, being drawn up by Attorney Carl Ludgren of Ansonia, is under stood to make no reference to pub lie utilities. Announcements thus far by MT. Lundgren have not men, toned the issue.
 Labor organizations will campaign again this year for eelction of pub lie utilities commissioners by the people. This proposal will have con- siderable Democratic backing, but probably will have litle Republican support.

Desperate Plight Of Italy In North Africa
Italians Fleeing Westward Through Libya-Britsh Allowing Many to Escape, as There Are Prob=

BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

 With the British Forces Before Tobruk, Jan. 1O--(UP-Italian troops were reported fleeing westward through Libya today before British advanced patrols who had reached the Gazzala region, 100 miles from the Egyptian frontier and one third of the way toward Benghazi, headquarters of Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, commander in chief of the Italian armies in Africa.
 It was indicated that the British were meeting no opposition and that the Italians were making rap idly for some fortified line far to the west of Gazzala.
 Before Tobruk, as I write, British guns and British airplanes are pounding methodically at the 96 blockhouse-fortresSes surrounding the town on its land side.
 My belief is that the final as- sault will be withheld for a few days, at least, until the tends of thousands of Italian prisoners struggling toward the rear have been disposed of. They are so numerous as to constitute an embarrassment
 Too Many Prisoners
 The prisoners have strained Bri- tish transport, food and water sup plies and it is indicated that the storming of Tobruk will probably be delayed because supplies would be entirely. overtaxed if the Tobruk garrison, estimated to number al

Daylight Raid Followed British Night Attacks on Other Industries .h
 j NAZIS PLANES HIT
 ENGLAND LAST NIGHT German Planes Struck at Is Cities, Towns, Over an Area of 300 Miles
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent

BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrrespOndentI
 Great Britain's growing air power today was indicated to have inflicted upon Ger. many's vital western indus tries one of the wars sever- est poundings. The Royal Air Force launched an un- usual daylight attack on German bases on the French invasion coast at noon today, Dover reported. The raid lasted for some time. At about the same time Zurich and Berne, Switzerland, re. ported daylight air alarms.
 Britain's smashing air blow was delivered as:
 The Nazi Luftwaffe felt out Brit~ ish air defenses at no less than 15 im- portant cities in a possible prelude to new heavy raids.
 In what was regarded as possibly the biggest daylight air attack on German invasion bases in France since the start of the war, Royal Air Force bombers today raided German positions all along the French channel coast from Calais to Boulogne.
 Spectators here and at various points on the southeast coast of England saw RAF planes make dive bombing attacks on targets. More than 60 planes, including bombers and fighters, participated.
 Dispatches from Dover said that RAF attacks on the invasion bases began shortly after noon and that the bursting of the bombs shook the southeast coast of England0
 Bursting Shells Visible
 The British planes and the burst. ing of anti-aircraft shells were yiS- ible clearly against cloudless sky. But ground haze hid the targets from the view of watchers on this side of the channel.
 Main operating occurred in the area between Calais and Gap GriS Neg.
 After making dive attacks the British planes flew high over their targets, apparently in an effort to observe the results of the bombing. Then they returned across the channel in formation.
 So far as l could see from the cliffs of Folkestone the British planes were not attacked by German fighters, possibly because of the presence of Spitfires and Hurricanes in the escort for the British bomb- CTS. But the German anti-aircraft barrage was very tense.
 British long range bombers struck hard at the heart of Germany's vital industrial Ruhr during the night, directing their main attack on synthetic oil plant at Gelsen- kirchen, wheer explosions and fries were observed, the air ministry said today.

Premeti, Albania (via Athens) Jan. 1O-CUP)-The Greeks have won a long and bitter battle in southeast Albania with the capture of Klisura, an Italian stronghold dominating the road north to Beret, 30 miles away.
 For weeks, Klisura has been a No Mans Land. Greek artillery in mountain peaks south of the town had driven the Italian rear guard into hieghts north of the town The Italians held fast to these northern heights, which were honeycombed with gun positions and could be reached only by scaling sheer rock surfaces.
 To break the stalemate, during which neither side could occupy the town itself, the Greeks hauled up siege guns and endorsements for (Continued on Page A
