flanders was reported today and was attributed in part to the areas spell of intense, dry cold.
 Massachusetts State Health Com missioner Paul J. Jakmauh said reports from key points showed the prevalence of grippe greater than for two or three years but that the outbreak was generally on the wane' and conditions greatly im- proved" over week ago.
 Precautionary measures continued where cases of grippe reached near epidemic proportions. Schools in a half dozen communities were to remain closed until Monday and sports and social events were can- celled. Many hospitals isolated ma ternity wards and Boston City hos- pital officials appealed to registered nurses to volunteer for service be- cause of a shortage due to private calls and illness among staff nurses.
 Holy Cross college at Worcester suspended classes for the rest of the week to prevent spread of the illness with 50 students and faculty members already affected. At Camp Edwards on Cape Cod, enlisted men with colds were placed in isolation.
 At Rochester, N. H., 8 special medical station was to open today at the Hubbard Shoe O., factory in an effort to keep employees at work on army shoe orders.

RepuIse Counter Attacks

According to Struga reports, the Greek left wing in the coastal sector below Valona repulsed three Italian counter attacks ill the Kerauniaj mountains, while the right wing, aid ed by Albanian rebels from the Kur- VeleS district, started from the vil- lage of Vermika, II miles southwest of Tepelini, ard advanced a mile and a half northwest into the Griba mountains, to within Is miles of Va Iona. There was only localized fight ing in the Tepelini and Elbasan sec tors, according to Struge reports.)
 An official spokesman said Greeks had repulsed two local counter-at- tacks," but he did not say where. In the first, he said, the Italians were thrown back quickly. In the second, waves of infantry advanced into the Greek lines behind tanks and under cover of a barrage from mortarS and They were thrown back after fierce fight, and the battle field was strewn with Italian dead, the spokesman said. The Greeks captured four light tanks, some with their crews still alive, and immedi- ately put them into action against the Italia !s, the spokesman said. The Greeks keep reserve tank driv- CTS at the front, cooperating with anti-tank squads. and are always ready to man captured tanks.

(Continued from Page D Maher, 52, who shot him, was hold ing him down with his knee when the wounded robber pulled another gun from his pocket and shot Maher dead. Leonard WeiSberg, 39, a taxi driver, grabbed at Distefano's weapon and missed, and Distefano shot him through the neck. Weisberg's condi- ton was critical.
 Two other bystanders disarmed the wounded robber and a crowd was at the point of kicking him to death when police dispersed them.
 Meanwhile, Joseph Distefano had fled into a five-and-ten-cent store, terrorizing clerks and shoppers there before he was seized by detectives and beaten into submission. Women shoppers failed at him with their handbags and fists while he was be- ing dragged to a police car.
 In the case for Joseph Distefano, William c. Mueller, a bank guard, was shot in the shoulder and the plate glass window was shot out of a store front. The two bandits were found to have been armed with three revolvers each and one of them carried 50 extra rounds of ann munition

Secretary Of State
 Hull Gives Warning
(Continued from Page 1)

Control of the high seas by law abiding nations is the key to the security of the Western Hemisphere in the present day world situation. Should that control be gained by the partners of the tripartite pact (Germany- Italy -Japan) the danger to our country, great as it is today, would be multiplied manyfold."
 Hull said the Johnson Act, barring credits or loans to war debt default ing nations, would not appear to be involved by the bill because the act does not apply to this Pc ernment or a public corporation, or public corporation in which the govern ment has a major interest.
 Supersede Neutrality
 The bill would supersede several provisions of the 1938 neutrality act. Hull said, mentioning the authority that would be given the President to allow the outfitting and arming of warshipS in American ports.
 The Hague convention barred such practices, Hull said, but he held that 1t was not controlling.
 'The convention is not applicable in the present European war; he said. 'because it provides in article 28 that it shall not apply unless all belligerents are parties to it. Ger many and Italy are not parties to the convention. We are not here dealing with an ordinary situation"
 He pointed out that under the convention belligerents are bound to respect the rights of neutral powers.
 Germany and Italy have paid no attention to such principles of in- ternational law, but have at will and without notice occupied many coun- tries.
 Hull said Denmark had a formal tre a ty with Germ any insuring against aggression and that Norway had @ formal assurance of the same sort.
 Tt is idle for us to rely on the rules of neutrality for safety" he said. "Nothing but realistic view of current developments can be re- garded as sane view"
 They Relied On Neutrality
 He listed other states that replied strictly on the laws of neutrality including Holland and Belgium. He said they were allowed to remain innocently an dblissfully" in a state of feeling secure until Germany was ready to step across their boun- diaries"
 It is necessary to recognize that Germany's program is a world movement of conquest" he said, and to act ill self defense before it is too late.
 "Only the law of self defense can

phone can from someone as yet un- identified sent police to the villa. Oxland said Mrs. James body was lying in the drawing room of the villa. He said he found fork and a poker in the house and James, when arrested in the dining room, had blood on his shirt cuff and un- der his finger nails.
 We were SO happy" he quoted James as saying first. T wanted her to die while she was like that. had been in a nursing home with ner- vouS breakdown. We were so happy" Brain Wouldn't Function
 Later, OXland said, James agreed to sign a written statement. But, he added, when the stenographer was about to take down the state ment, James said:
 My brain will not function" Hence, he said, the statement was not taken down.
 Oxland testified also that James told him:
 T thought I would also kill my self"
 At the end of the court hearing James was asked whether he had anything to say. He rose and, speak ing slowly and deliberately, said:
 T am going to say that I did not think I said the words mentioned about taking my own life"
 Oxland repeated his version of ~x,I1o To eafI To aAv,lJ be sure of the words.
 T did not think I said it." James commented, and resumed his seat.
 Greatest of Experts James, 56, short, heavily built clean shaven, with heavy features and carefully brushed, thinning gray haid and black eyebrows, a smart dresser, is regarded as one of the greatest experts in the world on spoken English. He is university professor of phonetics at the School of Oriental and African Studies here, and is linguistic adviser to the government-controlled British Broadcasting company. He has broadcast in the United States and Canada and the European continent as well as in Great Britain. News of his arrest caused a sensation
 A friend of the family told the Daily Mirror:
 "The Jameses had been living at Oxford. They came home about a month before Christmas. A week later they were in a severe air raid. The professor was badly shaken and had to go to nursing home. Soon after Mrs. James went to stay with their son and then went to stay for a week with her mother in Wales. James and his wife returned to their Hampstead home few days after Christmas. They had been liv- ing there alone and sleeping in the basement.
 Mrs. James brought her hus- band back from the nursing home last Saturday. They were devoted couple"

1924. He is author of the section on pronunciation in the 14th edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, and of many publications.
 James was responsible for the nickname Lord Flaw Flaw" A broadcaster uses that name in anti British talks on the German official wireless. Five years ago he said that BCC announcers were too haw haw.' in their announcements and were using the sort of speech with which stage comedians loved to play. The expression remained in use as ap- piled to broadcasting.
 He taught the Royal Air Force how to use the radio telephone properly. When the Finnish Rus sian war started he was called in to give the authorized pronunciation of Finnish names.
 Friends remembered today that James had served three years with the royal engineers during the last war.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-15

Good Hope, Britain overwhelming naval predominance in the Medi- terranean has enabled her to pass military conveys through the inland sea under protection of independ- ently operating western and east ern Mediterranean fleets.
 The western British fleet is based on Gibraltar and the eastern fleet at Alexandria.
 London buzzed with reports that Britain shortly will step up the tempo of her war effort in the east ern Mediterranean. It was suggested that an expedltionary force may come to Greece's aid in Albania Thus far British assistance to Greece has been limited to small Royal Air Force squadrons, anti aircraft units and naval help.
 The British admiralty revealed yesterday in its report of the first great dive-bomber-warShip battle off Sicily that it was fought in the course of conveying an important shipment of material to Greece. In this combat the British suffered damage to cruiser, an aircraft carrier and a destroyer while sink ing an Italian torpedo boat and bringing down 12 enemy planes. La- ter RAF planes raided Catania, Sicily, and destroyed nine more dive bomberS.
 Italian reports said two important British conveys were involved-one bound for Greece and one for Alex andria.
 Greek Objection
 One factor against major expedi- tionary aid to Greece was said to be the view of Gen. John Metaxas, Greek leader, that such a move would bring immediate German in- tervention in the conflict. London said the alternative to aiding Greece would be increased ef- forts against the Italians in Africa. Possibilities suggested were move to drive the Italians completely out of Libya and simultaneous cam- paign against Ethiopia and Italian East Africa.
 There were Spanish reports that defenses of Gibraltar were being strengthened, possibly in anticipa- tion of an Axis drive against that vital fortress. However, London re- ported only yesterday that an ef- fort was made by Hitler about Jan. 1 to bring Spain itno the war but that Gen. Francisco Franco refused to come in.
 There was lull on all fighting fronts.
 A san6storm apparently had slowed up operations to reduce the Italian garrison at Tobruk although men and guns were still being brought up by the British and the Italians reported RAF activity both in Libya and East Africa.
 No Air Action Today
 Britain was virtually without Ger man air force action because of bad weather. The RAF carried out small scale attacks in Norway, prin- cipally at Mandal, Forus and Sta vanger, where motorship in the harbor was bombed.
 Melbourne confirmed that British losses were very light in the sweep into Libya. Australian casualties up to January IA were listed at 296. The Australians had borne the brunt of the fighting.
 The Greeks made small advances toward Valona and Berat and said some reports indicated the Italians are preparing to evacuate both places-a move winch would give the Greeks dominance over the whole southern half of Albania. Related reports from Paris ad-
