In the Italian fleet were one
battleship of the 35,000-ton Lit
torio class with 15-inch guns;
two cruisers with eight-inch guns
of the Trento class; four six-inch
cruisers of the Condottieri class,
and a screen of destroyers.
TINY FORCE
Against them we had six
inch cruiser, anti-aircraft cruz
sers whose heaviest guns were
5.25-inch, and destroyers.
There wasn't a single gun In
the British squadron which
could make more than minor
dent in the Italian battleship. 1t
was like throwing a handful Of
nails at a rampaging elephant.
And yet at the end of the battle
every British warship was
afloat.
Moreover, at the end of the
battle one British destroyer re-
ported it had slammed one tor
pedo for certain into the battle
more. (The Rome radio claimed
today the Littorio had suffered
only grazing hit by medium
caliber she'll on one of its tur-
rets).
Nor did the British ships fight
only surface vessels. Throughout
the battle, as we'll as long before
hand, Axis dive-bombers had at
tackled the convoy and its es-
corting vessels necessarily. AT
times individual British ships
were firing simultaneously both
at the enemy battle fleet and at
the bombers as the battle ragged
over a 40-mile westerly course.

WASHINGTON, March Us
(P-Attorney General Biddle
said today that at least 80 ac-
tons would be begun promptly
to take away the citizenship of
persons believed to have been
loyal to Axis countries at the
time they took their oath of
citizenship and that Several
hundred such cases would fol-

toned only the German-Amer-
lean bund by name, but said that
there were other organizations,
including some Italian groups,
affected.

whole idealology, philosophy
and activity of the bund" has
been underway for some time,
Biddle said, but we are now
ready to shoot and shoot quick
~"
Speaking at his first press con-
ference in several weeks, the at
torney general said that he be-
lieved that membership in the
bund formed prima facie case
for standardization petition,
and that where it could be shown
that the citizen was an officer
or particularly active the case
for taking away citizenship
would be much stronger.

OFFENSIVE GOAL
He cautioned, however, that
although an offensive against the
japanese from Australia is the
goal of the Allies, "let us not
exaggerate the speed with which
we can reach it,"
1--WE must first insure that
Australia is held" he said.

SEEK KNOCKOUT
The Japanese apparently have
concentrated on an attempt to
knock out Port Moresby in an
effort to counter the intensive
Allied air blows against the prin-
cipal Japanese bases at Lac and
Salamaua, northeast New Gui-
nea, and Rabaul, New Britain.
This effort seemingly has Su-
perseded the earlier Japanese

Port Moresby's location, with
in short air striking distance of
the japanese concentrations and |
also within hitting distance of
northeast Australia across Tor

situation.

the japanese are unabls to seize
