 They asserted that the Italian force of 800 men at the oasis greatly outnumbered the French.
 Italy Claims Victories
 Rome, Jan. 29.-(UP)-A high command communique today claimed Italian victories on the Lib van southern Eethiopian and Greek fronts.
 It was asserted that Italian troops had repulSed with considerable losses a British "armored division" south of Derna on the Libyan front.
 In East Africa, the communique said, Italians repeatedly attacked British troops on the Eethiopian- Kenya front and forced the British to withdraw.

 Knudsen, according to Hoffman's story, asked Ford to meet with Sid- ney Hillman, defense commission labor chief and now associate di- rector of the office of production management but the automobile manufacturer declined.
 Hoffman said he was informed that Ford charged that the gov ernment through the labor relations board was seeking to make him operate closed shop and that he would never do. Hoffman empha- sized at this point that the NLRB has no authority to require any one to operate closed shop.
 A spokesman for OPM confirmed that Knudsen saw Ford in Detroit about month ago, but added that he "duobted" that Knudsen had requested Ford to meet with Hill man. z
 Hillman, who Is absent :-cst: Washington because of illness, could not be reached for comment. Els aides said they had never heard the story told by Hoffman.

, deal with the Italians.
 Metaxas was not caught mapping when the Italians came. When he had learned a year before that Italy was building military highways through Albnia toward the Greek border he began preparations to re- ceive them. He studied conditions along the Greek-Albanian border; studied tactics used by the Italians in the Spanish Civil War, summed up his findings and decided that if he ever had to fight Italians, he would prefer to do it in the moun- tainS.
 When the day came he let the Italians advance through the Ptndus almost to the mountain capital of Janina, mand get a foothold on the Macedonian road leading to Salon. ika. Then he fell onto them with the elite of the Greek army, the skilled EvzoneS mountaineerS.
 Clinging to the peaks, avoiding the level valleys where the Italians could concentrate mechanized forces; flowing" around on both sides of ramparts that did not quickly fall, in the manner of the Germans in the blitzkrieg in France and the tow countries, and hurling themselves ceaselessly ito the attack, giving the invaders no rest, the Eyzones soon had cleared Greece of "every Italians, but the dead ones and prisoners" and had carried the war into Albania.
 All this was according to the plan Metaxas had worked out long be fore. He is said 10 have direcYed every move in the early phase of the campaign. He could do so with out regard to the general staff, be- cause since he achieved supreme power in 1886 he ha dconcentrated in himself the portfolios of war, navy, and air.
 MetaxaS was 69. His appearance was scholarly and benevolent, in spite of the SternneSS of his char acter. In caricature, his character istics were horn-rimmed SpectacleS, high. stiff collars, 8 short, Stocky body. He made no pretenSe about his position. In 1888, after he had crushed the second revolt within a year, his government anonunced that he would be premier for life"
 He had no more revoltS to con- tend with, but there was continued, underground liberal opposition.
 MetaxaS had been a soldier for 50 years, since he was graduated from the Greek military academy at the age of 19 as lieutenant of engi- neers.
 After the war with Turkey he spent four years in Germany study ing military science at the famous Potsdam School, where he was nick named Little Moeltke, for his military insight.

Of the recent disorder" in the munitions industry in this country. he said:
 During the last two years there have been perhaps dozen purchas- ing missions from varying countries trying to buy arms in our market. They have necessarily been compet- ing with us and with each other, and that competition has produced delay. Primarily it has interfered with our own preparedness.
 '"This bill, if enacted, would result practically in all future orders for such munitions being placed in the hands of the United States govern ment, whether they are for us or for other nations whose defense is matter of vital concern to us .. /. that would be long step in the di- rection of efficiency, economy, and, above all, speed. ..
 Most important of all, the bill insures that the distribution of all weapons shall be in the hands of the men whose sole interest is the Se- curity of the United States"
 While Stimson was teStifying be- fore the Senate committee, the House foreign affairs committee be- gan considering proposed amend merts to the bill and former Pres ident Herbert Hoover planned a conference with Sepate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary.
 McNary and MT. Hoover, who dined last night with a gr0Op of opponents of the lend-1ease bill, were said to be urging Republicans to concentrate on restrictive amend merts rather than waste strength" on substitute measures.

GREEK TROOPS
 ON OFFENSIVE

 In the central sector large scale fighting continued along the TO- mile front above Tepelini and Klis- ura A dispatch from Mary Merlin, United Press correspondent with the Greeks in that area, gave the fol- lowing account of typical Italian counter attack, as described by a Greek officer:
 "They came at us and we let them get within 200 yards before we jet them have it. Then they went down like wheat. We saw an officer way ing them forward for the attack but nobody moved. They could not retreat because our artillery was dropping barrage behind them, so they stood for long time, unable to go forward or back. Finally we decided for them by encircling and capturing all of them"
 The war ministry reported "re- stricted local action in which we took some prisoners and shot down two enemy planes with anti aircraft fire"
 The public security ministry com- munique said: Enemy aviation bombed Salonika with military hospital serving as target. One member of the hospital staff was killed and 10 wounded, including four nurses. Bombs were dropped by enemy planes on Macedonian vil- lages but there were no victims and no damage"

 Antonescu Sunday telegraphed Hitler the appreciation "of the en- tire nation that during these days of trial we have felt the presence and loyalty of the Fuehrer of the German Reich, which guaranteed our frontiers without touching Ru- manian pride and without compro- missing our sovereignty but with the loyal understanding of great ally

which he did not agree.
 It marked the first attempt to amend the city charter during the current legislative session, but be- fore the week is out it is expected that many more bills will have been presented at Hartford, notably a number sponsored by the present administration of Mayor Vincent Scully. Corporation Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch is reported preparing these changes at the present mo- ment.
 City Govt. Changes
 Several important changes would be made in the present city govern- ment if the Udelowitz amendments were approved by the General As- Sembly, among them appointment of the registrars Of voters instead of their election as at present; ap- pointment of board members of op- posite political faith to the mayor that are generally satisfactory to at least five aldermen of the same party as the appointee; elimination of an temporary loans in anticipa- tion of payment of taxes.
 The change in election of the registrars of voters would result, according to the Udelowitz char ter, in the appointment of these officials by the mayor, one of whom must be a member of a different political party. Said appointment, too, must be approved by at least five aldermen of the same party or at least a different af1liation than the mayor.
 This same provision-ratification by five aldermen-holds good in appointments to the finance board, board of tax commissioners and ap- portionment, retirement. commis- sion, police board, fire board, board of public health, board of public works, and board of public welfare.
 Temporary Loan Block
 Elimination of temporary loans from the city's financial set-up would be accomplished by causing the city controller and city treas urer to file statements on Decem- Der 1 of each year with the board of aldermen showing the available liavtidopae oinshrdlucmfwyp
 cash in the treasury for appropria- tions until the following June IS. If less than $2,5o0, 900 the aldermen would be required to levy special tax to provide the difference be- tween the amount in the treasury and the operating sum, set up as $2,5000, ,000 by MT. Udelowitz. A further amendment to the charter would also limit all tempo rary loans that the city might make at any time or for any reason to $300,0O0. At the present time the city may borrow up to 70 per cent of "all sums assessed for taxes but not yet payable, less the amount of all deficiency appropriations"
 Another change in the charter is transfer of control over the office of the city controller from the board of finance to the board of aldermen. It has been predicted, too, that changes in the present city char ter would be proposed by the local Republican Party through Town | Chairman Vernon Hall, but no in- formation as to their extent or sections involved has been announc- ed. The time for filing all bills ex- | pireS on Friday.

bound for Greece.
 British air strength on the AL banian front may have been inc creased also, although weather con- ditions generally have restricted air operations on both sides to small scale action.
 This massing of men and supplies on both sides may presage major fighting as soon as weather condi- tions permit. The Greeks have been driving doggedly toward Valona, the important central Alhc..ian port while the Italians have been active on the northern front, possibly in preparation for an attempt to re- capture Koritz and reopen the route toward Salonika.
