American military planes are being brought to Britain, either under their own power or on ships.
 Shipping Losses London, Jan. 14.-(UP)-BritiSh shipping losses by enemy action for the week ended at midnight Jan. were the lowest for any week since that which ended May last, the admiralty announced today.
 Four British ships, totaling 14,- 678 tons, were lost during the week. No allied or neutral ships were sunk
 The admiralty emphasized that in only four weeks during the war had , shipping losses been lower than in the week ended Jan. 5. The weekly average for the war during 1940 was 69,666 tons in British, allied and neutral shipping.
 Losses for the week ended last May were 13,785 tons.
 Authoritative naval informantS ad- vanced three reasons for the draS- tic decrease in shippings losses:
 Bad flying weather, which meant that fewer German planes were en- gagged in mine laying, thus reducing the damage from magnetic mines, and fewer planes were bombing conveys along the coasts and in the ] Atlantic.
 Heavy and frequent Royal Air Force attacks on German naval bases both in Germany and in Ger man-occupied France.
 The use of additional destroyers including American average de- stroyers and new ones coming intt service, in guarding conveys.

 Regiment Trapped
 With the Greek Army Above Kli- sura, Jan. IA = (U.P) = An Italian regiment has been trapped on an isolated mountain peak in this sec tor. A 30O-foot gorge separates the Greek and Italian troops. Some of the Italians have surrendered and the others are under fire from Greek artillery.
 The Greeks used megaphones to shout news to the Italians that their commander-in-chief in AL bania, General Ubaldo Soddu, had been replaced by General Ugo Cav allero, chief of the general staff. Greek officers told me that the news seemed to depress the Italians more than the Grek capture of Klisura.
 The fighting lines are so close to- gether here that Italian planes carl- not do any bombing. Greek planes, however, have flown over the Ital- ian positions dropping leaflets urg- ing the Italians to surrender and save themselves from the Greek ar- tillery. Some Italians did surrender. They crossed the Greek lines, bring ing their rifles and machine guns with them. talked to one of the prisoners, Antonio Gazzi, 38, who said he had been a steel worker in Cleveland, O., for five years, and who gave me what he said was an Italian working mans view of the war.

Hundreds of secret police ate mixed with every draft contin- gent looking for Communists and dissenters who are stirring up the people throughout northern Italy.
 illegal newspapers and radios give the news of the Italian defeats in Albania and Libya," he said "The police are unable to check them"
 British Planes Bomb Athens, Jan. IA - (U.P) Brit iSh Royal Air Force planes operat- ing with the Greek army bombed Italian military communications 1n the Berat area of Albania yesterday, communique said today, and the Greek high command claimed that Greek troops had captured four Italian tanks and some prisoners.
 The RAF said that its bombers attacked the Berat area despite ad- verse weather conditions. All bombs were said to have dropped in the target area but observation of re- suits was not possible because of bad weather. Smoke was seen and direct hits were believed to have been scored. All British aircraft returned safely.
 The high command said that Ital- ian prisoners taken yesterday in. cluded two officers but action was described as limited"

BRITAIN LOSES
 BIG DESTROYER

"The last convoy which left Gib- raltar consisted of two columns of freighters, one for Alexandria, where men and supplies are needed following British losses suffered in North Africa, and the other for Greece, where the British command has urgently requested men and supplies after enormous losses in Albania.
 Weakens England
 ''The war in Greece weakens Eng land, where forces are greatly need ed against the increasing Gr- man threat. Italian warships have found lifeboats and sailor caps be- longing to the British destroyer Gallant, which appears to have been sunk in battle"
 The high command cornmunique said that in East Africa there was small scale action on the upper Su- dan front and that there had been artillery activity in the Gallabat sector.
 Tn Albania patrol and artillery activity continued, the communique S6ll, 011 1tdAAdAA PA0AAC ACPC0SCAAJ bombed Greek bases and machine gunned trucks and troop concentra- tionE.
 Belatedly, the high command re- ported that an Italian torpedo car- rying plane and a motor torpedo boat sank an enemy" submarine last Thursday. Greece has several submarines). A Greek submarine, 1t was added, sunk an Italian freighter ''of small tonnage" oil the Jugo- slav coast December 3l.
 The communique charged that the sinking took place in Jugoslav ter- ritorial waters and alleged: 'The submarine against all war rules shelled lifeboats of the freighter, killing the entire crew of 10 men who had succeeded in leav- ing the freighter."
 British planes raided points on the Libyan coast and some localities" in Italian Eritrea, in East Africa, the communiQue said. Some per- sons were wounded in Eritrea, il was said, but there were no casual ties in the Libyan raids.

A center for the homeless, Lady Astor said, had been set up ir Virginia House, a community build ing named for her >rlaeive state.
 Must Kill Everyone
 ''The Germans should get the idea by now," she said, that they will have to kill everyone in Plymouth all Britain - before we art licked"
 Speaking of the Plymouth resi- dents, Lady Astor said:
 "They are of the same Puritan stock that sailed for America-the same people enduring oppression only this of a more violent kind The people here are very religious Those who survived said while sit. ting in their shelters, Oh, Lady Astor, God is good You can't lick people like that"
 The German attack on Plymouth was started by 15 planes which flew over the city in 8 wide semi circle, dropping fire bombs.
 For few minutes lights blazec from hundreds of bombs and ther there was darkness.
 Men, women, and even young chil- dren had pounded on the bombs anc saved the town from disaster.
 Several fires were started in ont district, however, and the next wave of raiders concentrated on this area dropping many tons of high explosive bombs. Houses and business prem ises were demolished and 8 churcf was wrecked.
 Townspeople who stood on hilly section of the town saw an eS timated 1000 bombs burning at on time in streets.
 All fires were put under contro before midnight.
 British Night Raiders
 London, January IA. UP) = Heavy raids on the German sub marine base at Lorient, France, las night were announced in an air min istry communique today. Large caliber bombs crashed tnt( naval ordnance works and building: on the docks.
 Other planes attacked targets 1T the Dunkirk area where one large fire and several smaller fires were started.
 The persistent bombing of invasion ports was continued despite adverse weather conditions, the ministry said.
 It was understood that the night. operations were on a much smaller scale than those of preceding night because the weather over the con tinent was unfavorable.
 There was growing belief that thu British raids were showing their ef. feet on operations of the German air force and there seemed some indication, according to reports ir aviation quartersr thaht the Ger. mans had moved their bases inlant from the channel coast because o! British attacks.
 The reduced scale of German at. tacks during the last few weeks wa: believed to be due to the NaN de. sire to conserve planes for a gigar- tic aerial offensive.
 The Royal Air Force was be. lieved to have done considerable damage also to German oil depots The extent of the steadily de. veloping British aerial offensive wal shown by the fact that in the last few weeks British losses in planes especially night bombers, have ex. ceeded German losses.
 Usually reliable informants as- serted that at present 30 types o1

Warren Upson of Water bury had declared that the state had sufficient surplus to enlarge the parks and forests by means of di- rect appropriations.

 The German quarters said that these Hollanders, described as only small part of the total popula- tion, "are now spreading malicious rumors and even trying to instigate terror and sabotage"
 They said the new decree was de- signed to show these anti-German elements that the occupation au- thorities are prepared to take drastic action if such activity continues.
 Not In Bulgaria Yet
 Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 14-(UP)- The official Bulgarian News Agen- cy denied today that there are any foreign troops on Bulgarian soil.
 The denial, communique, was issued, apparently, as result of re- ports abroad that some German troops to Bulgaria and diplomatic demarches referring thereto, the Bulgarian telegraphic agency is au- thori2ed to declare that foreign troops have not passed into Bulga- ria and that the Bulgarian govern ment has not made demarches to foreign governments for there is nc reason for such denarches," said the cornmunique.
 How Turkey Feels
 1stanbul, Turkey, Jan. 14-(UP)- The possibility that Germany may invade Bulgaria and halt at ths Bulgarian-Greek border, to avert { war with Turkey, was discussed 1T diplomatic circles today. By such maneuver, it was point ed out, Germany could bring in creased pressure on Jugoslavia fol permission to run troops through that country into both Greece ane Albania, and might avoid show. down with Turkey, which has de clared that it will fight if German troops cross Bulgaria to attacl Greece.
 Foreign military observers be. lieved there was only about one chance in five that Turkey would declare war if JugoSlavia, rather than Bulgaria, were used as a Ger man roadway.
