u. S. Cutters
To Greenland

WASHINGTON = The United
States is planning to send four
cutters to Greenland in an at
tempt to prevent further axis
activity in that region, II was
learned Wednesday.
Two Of the vessels may be the
North Star and the Bear, cutters
used BY Rear Admiral Richard
w. Byrd's expedition to the Ant
arctic regions. The North Star
arrived in Boston yesterday and
the Bear is enroute TO the United
States.
The North Star belongs to the
interior department and is much
needed to transport supplies to
Alaska. But the need for speed in
establishing well-manned patrols
in the upper Atlantic may force
officials to subordinate the needs
OF the Alaskan service.

Electric whiskers'
FIees from bardia,
CoI1lIrlunique Hints

CAIRO, Jan. 8. (UP)-A special
middle east command communique
today Indicated that Gen Annibale
Berganzoli-"El Whiskers" is
his italian nicKname-may have
escaped from Bardia where he
commanded the italian garrison.
The communique reported that
Berganzoli and certain other Ital-
ian commanders of the captured
stronghold are still missing"
1t added that it was believed
possible the Fascist high command
may have decamped by motor
boats especially reserved for that
purpose"
The British headquarters said
THAT search" for Berganzoli and
the other missing Italian officers
still is going forward.
"a Rome newspaper previously
reported that a special Italian
transport plane had been sent to
Bardia with instructions to evac-
uate BerganZoli and the Italian
staff but that Berganzoli, a veteran
of the Guadalajara campaign in
Spain, insisted on staying with his
men)

Britain Agrees to
Pass vitamin Ship
Thru to France

LONDON, Jan. s. (UP)-The
ministry of economic welfare said
today that in response to a person.
al request by President Roosevelt,
Great Britain has agreed to pass
age through the blockade of a
shipload cf American vitamin con-
centrates, dried milk and similar
supplies for unoccupied France.
The same ship will deliver q car
go of wheat to Spain.
The ministry said that Mr. Roose-
velt's request was made a few days
ago through diplomatic channels.
Britain, it was said, agreed to
permit passage Of the shipment as
a mark of Anglo American Coop
Grafton on the condition that the
quantity of relief supplies be strict
" limited and distributed in France
under American Red Cross super
vision
This British concession in no
wise alters the policy of blockading
unoccupied France as a whole,
the ministry said. The administra-
ton arrangement by the American
Red Cross is considered a sufficient
guarantee for the British govern
ment. The goods will go to an
agreed destination in France"
The ministry said that the ques-
ton of shipments to Spain fell in
4 different category from ship
ments to France.
Britain is not blockading Spain
but rations Spanish imports" it
said TO assure a sufficiency for
all needs but no re-eXportable bal
anee."
