Anthony Eden, British for
eign secretary, and General Sir
John Dill, chief of the imperial
general staff, arrived today in
the Turkish capital at Ankara
for conversations which foreign
observers there believed would
determine plans to meet q

has been q matter of conjecture
in the light of recent develop

accorded Eden was regarded
significant.
Although Greece has been at
war nearly four months, she still
apparently worries British Off
cialdom because of her reported
refusal to accept British troops
on her soil. This stand presum-
ably is based upon q desire to
avoid any direct affront to Ger
many though Greece has said
she would continue to fight un-
til the last Italian was driven
out of Albania. The Raj, how
ever, has been giving active aid
to the Greeks, said to be chal-
longing the Italians for mastery
of the air.
If Britain abstains from car
rying the war to southeastern
Europe, it is expected in some
quarters that she will resume
her north African offensive
with a thrust at Tripoli. Cap
ture of that Libyan stronghold
would give her a junction with
the inactive French forces in
Africa under Gen. Maxine
Weygand.
Meanwhile, the British are

Prosecutor Ivan A. Johnston,
who appeared personally in the
court today, told Judge jean
nette that the attack was "the
most vicious, unprovoked and
unwarranted assault ! have ever
come in contact with" The pros
ecutor denied charges Of the de-
tense that pressure" is being
used on the case because the vic
tim of the blow was a member

Johnston went on record Is
saying: "the defendant II being

Theft Gang Deals In
 Ford Parts

WASHINGON, Dec. The Jus tice Department uncovered the operations of huge ring" deal ing in stolen Ford automobile parts, making arrests in three cities.
 Justice officials said 30 persons were seized in Detroit, New York & Chicago after several months of investigation by G-men. The investigation centered in Detroit, where officers said the parts were stolen by Ford factory workers, who acted as literal "bucket brigade to carry the parts out and ship them in inter state commerce by freight trains, trucks and private cars.
 Chief G-man J. Edgar Hoover said the parts were sold through a maze of fences" or middle men. One fence" in New York City operated so extensively that his company published a catalog advertising the parts for sale in direct competition with author ized Ford dealers.

Japs Alarmed by Presence US Subs Navy Announces Subs Successful
 In Two Out of Three Attacks

UNDATED, Dec IT (H) - Jap an took alarm from the reported presence of 20 U. s. submarines operating in Japanese waters, even as Admiral Hart announced that American subs had gone into action for the first time in the conflict. and scored successes in two out of three attacks.
 U. s. Army headquarters at Manila reported that at least 26 Japanese planes were destroyed yesterday at Vigan, where the Japanese still maintained one of three toeholds in Luzon.
 Hart's cryptic statement didn't identify the victims of the Am erican counter blows, whether they were Japanese Warships, or merchant craft or local sinkings. It seems plausible that the U. s. is tightening the blockade around the Mikado's densely pop ulated island empire.
 In Washington, the War De- pertinent, in communique, dis missed the Japanese smelling of Kahuiui, on the Hawaiian island of Maui, as damaging only the concrete loading platform of pineapple company. About ten shells were fired, the commun- ique said, without single cas-
