district of Crete, where there were no victims and no damage; the Corinth region, where there were no victims or damage, and Piraeus, where some poor workers were vic- tins but damage was unimportant,' , the ministry's communique said.
 A government spokesman said that since Gen. Ugo Cavallero be- came chief of the Italian general staff a month ago, 46 Italian couln- ter-attacks in Albania had netted practically nothing. In the last re- ported engagement, Greek artillery inflicted heavy losses on retreating Italians and Greek infantry storm ed and occupied 7,000-foot peak after a long and hard battle, the spokesman said.
 Prisoners Captured
 In the Klisura area, according to the spokesman, Greek patrols cap- tured 27 prisoners. He said four Italian planes had been shot down in the past 24 hours and that three more planes had been forced to land because of damage.
 A war ministry communique said there was limited patrol and ar tillery action"
 The Italians were said to be throwing fresh reenforcements against Greek positions in the rug ged mountains of Albania, but a government spokesman asserted that 46 counter attacks in the past month had netted them practically nothing.
 Italian planes were said to be in- creasinlgy active and Piraeus, the port of Athens, still was digging out its dead and wounded today from western district The attack last night gave the ancient capital of Athens its first night raid of the war.

and in one extreme case in 45 days by using assemblies.
 Navy Plan Successful
 Knox said that a program worked out by the navy with Sidney Hill man, associate director of the office of production management, h.d been exceptionally successful in To- eating skilled men for navy yard work.
 He explained that Hillman had listed the locations of such skilled workers throughout the country. The navy then asked the yards to estimated their exact needs. By bringing the two together, Knox said, supply of skilled workers was tripled in the Washington. D. o., navy yard. He said that this same thing held true in other yards.
 Asked about the status of aircraft deliveries, Knox said they are pick ing up." OPM officials have esti- mated that between 900 and 1000 planes were produced in January as against 799 in December.
 Knox attributed the pickup to the fact that manufacturers are getting over the slump" arising from the tremendous plant expansion pro- gram. He explained, for example, that one manufacturer when the program began had a backlog of only $6,000,00O in orders. The same company now has $400, 0,000,000 in or ders. This meant, he continued, that the company had to concentrate on plant expansion before actual pro- duction.
 "We are now getting deliveries ahead of schedules that were re- vised downward to meet that slump" Knox added.
 A reporter remarked that Al Will Hams, former navy flyer, had said that we are not getting any air craft deliveries at all.
 T don't know what he knows about it." Knox replied. Mot much, I suppose"
 Knox said that Admiral J. O.. Richardson, who recently was re- lieved of command of the U. s. fleet is coming here March 15 to confer with him. He said that Richard son, now on leave, will discuss the question of his future assignment.

 Raid Was Big One

The dis patch said that the planes caused no military damage but did slight" material damage at city in north ern Germany and caused small rurar fires. The civilians were re- ported killed or wounded in "simi- lar" raids on industrial objectives in northwestern Germany which otherwise" were "futile.~

 The 35 ,OO0-ton North Carolina, the first battleship to be built under the current naval expansion, will be put into commission in April, substan- tially ahead of time. A sister ship, the U. S. s. Washington, probably will be ready in July, also ahead of schedule.
