CULHANE DENIES
 PLANNING BILLS
Ex=SenatOr Denies Reports of Submitting Anti=Ad=
 ministratiOn Legislation

Former Senator George T. Gull hane today denied that he planned to have Senator Samuel Malkan of New Haven introduce any bills in the legislature or that he contem- plated opposition to city charter changes to be proposed by the city administration. Senator Culhane's statement came after published re- ports from Hartford that Senator Malkan was to introduce Culhane- drafted bills and would confer with him during the next few days.
 Senator Malkan said yesterday at the Capitol that he expected to in- troduce the Culhane bills and said he would meet the former local leg islator, probably over the weekend, to discuss them.
 Its news to me-" commented Senator. Culhane. Sam must have been joshing the boys. I haven't made any appointments for the past two weeks. If I had any bills wanted placed before the legisla- ture I'd hand them to Eddie Egan or Mike Blansfield (the two local senators) with the request that they introduce them"
 Senator Culhane, who has been ill, said he was mot interested in drafting any charter bills, saying: II gave them enough in the last six years. If the Scully administra- ton wants to change any of my amendments let them go ahead. They were elected by the people and if they regard amendments to existing legislation as in the in- terest of the city, I certainly shall not oppose them."
 Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch is now drafting the city ad- ministration's proposed charter changes, some of which will affect sections which were changed by the Culhane revision bill of 1889. It is claimed that number of ambigui- ties and contradictions are now present in the charter.
 The city halls charter bill will be filed within the next week, but probably in blank form. The text will not be offered until some time next month.

crashing QOWn on lODTuk anu GIle Australian shock troops and British machine gun and tank units were fighting into the city, the AuStral- ian was hurrying about the town persuading all Italians he could find to surrender at once, telling them resistance was hopeless.
 When the advance guard reached naval headquarters in the c1ty's principal square, it's members saw grinning at them a tall young man clad in blue trousers, blue sweater and a British army cap.
 Welcome Pals
 welcome, palS!" he shouted Come right in - the towns yours.
 Surrounded by thousands of Ital- ians waiting to be made prisoners, he explained:
 T was prisoner in the town bastille. I was with the Royal Air Force and was made prisoner eight days ago. I sure am glad to see you"
 Later the Australian told me, as we stood before the naval head quarters among the thousands Of Italian navy and army officers and men, some cheery, others glum and surly, how he had spent the last days of the siege of Tobruk.
 He had been well treated, he said, from the moment of his capture, when with a corporal he missed his way as he was driving outside To- bruk. He drove through the Italian perimeter forts and was greted by a rain of machine gun bullets. The corporal was killed.
 No Town Bastile
 They kept me in the town bas- tile, the military prison of the gendarmerie, he said. T knew that our attacking forces were grad ually closing in. I could tell that gun fire was louder and closer each day. The Italians morale visibly declined hour by hour.
 "'That'S it: now it's the end, they said when the terrific cannon ade started which heralded the start of the attack on the Perimeter forts.
 "WSth our guns hammering and the Isoyal Air Force bombing, the noise was the worst I ever heard. Whenever it got bad they took me to big concrete shelter. Often the shelter seemed to sway several feet undep the shock of bombs and big shells.
 At 4 a. m. Wednesday we heard the biggest bang of all the explo- sions. It was the cruiser San Giorgio going up, dynamited by the Italians
 T got out and went to the town wall to try to see if our men were coming. An officer called me back Then I began to think what I could from inside the town to help.
 T began to tell the Italians that 1t was useless to resist, and at the same time secuted around to see if there was anything I could do.
 Important Papers
 T HaW a lot or :mpotant papers in the gendarmerie commander headquarters and wanted to make sure they were not destroyed. But it seemed more important to remove two sniperS who were manning a heavy machine gun from behind sand bags on roof top.
 "A few hours before the town fell l went up to the roof and told them that the attack was a complete suc- cess and they had better surrender They went down.
 T smelled fumes. The comman- der had put one over on me and burned his papers. His room, and

soon the building, were cracking merri1y.
 My next hunch was to round up as many prisoners as possible. l spoke to a number of infantrymen and explained that they would be wise to throw down their arms. They agreed. So when I saw the first of our Bren gun carriers arrive in front of headquarters I was there to meet them, with some men completely disarmed and thousands of others from the garrison who likewise threw in the game"
 Fighting through flame swept streets, filled with dust and smoke, between cracking buildings which the Italians had dynamited or set af1re in an attempt to wipe out their naval base, the imperial forces en- tered Tobruk at 10:30 a. m. yester- day.
 Gun Carriers Led Way I entered Tobruk behind them and before the infantry and saw the admiral commanding the port, with 1000 navy men, formally surrender
 The background of the scene was one of fire and smoke and destruc- ton which made the bombed east end of London look by comparison almost spick and span. l With the officer commanding the imperial forces I walked through | streets filtered with the wreckage of the town. We passed buildings in which shell and bomb holes gapes, from which flames spurted, and went on through the thousands of prisoners lined up in front of naval general headquarters.
 Town Capitulates.
 The officer commanding the en- pire troops entered a partly shat tered door. He was received by white-faced, tight-lipped admiral.
 The town capitulates. All troops are disarming," the admiral num- 1 bled painfully-in what had been evidently a rehearsed speech.
 The British brigadier replied:
 Please delegate officers immedi- ately to show the position of every mine field in the harbor and the town
 As the Italian admiral Surren- dered, an imperial trooper hoisted an Australian soldiers hat on lan- yard to the top of the naval flag staff.
 Men in a column of 4O0O Italian prisoners who were winding down from suburban dry stream beds and on through the streets from their Rabbit-Warre shelters where for the last two days of the siege they had tried to avoid the British bar rage, gazed in astonishment.
 Prisoners Pouring In.
 Now prisoners were pouring out of every corner of the fortress.
 Eleven women-women of the camp-were among them. They had given up their occupation be- cause of the British bombardment and had spent most of their time the last few days underground.
 The youngest, blonde of 24, told me:
 We were told by the gendarmes one day that we could go. Then next day they said it was dangerous. Then we realized that the authori- ties did not know themselves what the situation was. Finally it was too late. So we took refuge under ground. The noise was terrific. The forts shook under the attack"
 The officer commanding decided to put the women under guard and summoned begrimed cockney who marched up with his bayonet fixed on his rife. When. he realized what his joA vas he muttered disgusted- ly:
 T thought I came ere to fight, not to guard 'arem 'ulSSieS."
