Three thousand employees at the

points at issue were hours of work

Fun in Athens
BY A. Il. ANGELOPOULOS

ATHENS, Jan. 1.-Widespread
italian air attacks on Greek cities
were announced officially in
Athens today after the @GEecian
high command claimed that an
Italian tank counter-attack had
been defeated and much war ma
terial and some prisoners captured
Early this morning Italian
bombers flew over Athens, caus-
ing a 4@-minute air raid alarm
which sent New Years celebrators
to shelters.
No bombs were reporte d
dropped on the capital, but a few
hours earlier Fascist airmen
bombed Salonika, Corfu Island,
-PfeYeza. and=Kozaui.
Damage was termed insignificant
and casualties were relatively
slight, according to official re-
ports.
The public security ministry
announced that Greek civilian
casualties resulting from Italian
air raids between November %
and December % totalled SO killed
and 296 wounded. The fatalities

Just about the. time in 1889

Texas were seized by the British

then his direct shipments to Ger

only be resumed after peace is de-
clared and the blockade lifted.
With the German market blocked
he continued to do business with
Italy, before that country entered
the war, and with Japan. Only o
few months ago he made a large
shipment to a japanese purchas-
ing agency in Osaki.
