ton during his visit TO Albania on
May II.
A young Greek named Mihalofi
Vasil Laci and described by Fas-
cistS as a poetic maniac fired re-
volver shots toward The automobile
in which the italian king and Pre-
mier Shefket Verlaci were riding IN
Albania on May II. His shots went
wild but he was seized, saved from
lynching, according to the Rome
communique, and ordered to stand
military trial after investigation
shows whether he has any accom-
plices.
News of the assassination at
tempt, delayed for a week, was re-
leased at Rome as the Axis powers
claimed new successes in air at
tackS on the British fleet around
Crete and as the British reported
that thousands of Axis troops had
been killed or captured on and
around the island.
The fate of Crete was by no
means decided. For the moment the
British appeared to be holding their
ground but the terrific forces thrown
into the offensive By air and sea
and the success of the Germans
in maintaining base on the west
ern tip of the island at Malemi and
land an estimated 10000 men meant
that they still were IN position to
win the battle.
On the credit side of the ledger
the British reported that
Probably 5000 axis troops were
lost when British warships broke
up a convoy approaching Crete,
sank a transport, 40 small boats and
an italian destroyer.
An estimated 10000 of the 10000
Germans believed landed on Crete
by air and possibly by small boats
that slipped through the naval
blockade were believed accounted
for"-killed, captured or isolated.
The enemy had been driven from
strategic positions III Gambia and
Retimo on the middle north coast
of Crete and Germans landed in
strength at Malemi had been unable
to achieve their most important
objective-the seizure of Suda bay
near Canea.
