Changes OkaYed

The institutions director noted,
however, that fundamental changes
in school administration might re-
quire corresponding changes in rules
and laws governing the school. He
promised his support for requested
changes in state civil service rules
and pointed out that the legislature
now is in session if statues need
to be amended.
Norton, the business manager of
Boys Town of Nebraska, was ap-
pointed acting superintendent of
the school at the request of the
special three-member committee
appointed by Gov. Culbert Olson
to formulate a working program"
for the school.
Norton had notified Rosanoff that
he had moved all occupants out of
the schools lost priviledges' cot
tage where two young inmates have
committed suicide. He also sug-
gested changes in guard personnel.

loss of Cori2Za and German move
ments southwestward from BltolJ.
CORIZZA LOST
The Greeks admitted evacuation
of Corizza, the Albanian roads CEN
ter, which gave italian and German
troops control of western ROADS
along which they easily co.,. flank
the Phlorina line.
Athens said that Corizza, scene
of one OF the great Greek victories
over the italians, has been aban-
doned for strategic reasons These
reasons obviously were connected
with the German ak-through at
Bitolj gap which threatened to cut
off the whole Greek corps fighting
in Albania.
The loss of Corizza and the swift
German rush to the south was eX-
pected to force the Greeks to give
up all their gains in Albania. 1t
was likely that general abandon
ment OF the Albanian front has
begun.
The Greeks said fighting now is
going on in the vicinity of such
points as PtolemaiS, 20 miles south
of Phlorina, and Klissoura, a little
south of Ptolamais, with the battle
lines swiftly moving toward Kozane
and Siatista, about 45 miles south
of Phlorina.
The German high command
claimed that KoZane had been cap
tured and 80 British tanks destroy
ed in a battle near Ptolemais.
The Greek report indicated the
battle is now fluid, probably in the
nature of a rear-guard action to
cover withdrawal to the mid
Greece line of Ioannlna-Larisa.
