Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 8.-Britain is
creating a special defense corps for
protection of her airdromes from
vertical development" by air
borne troops such as won Crete for
Germany. and the troops will be
commanded by Maj. Gen. o. F. Liar
Diet, it was announced today.
The corps will be under the con-
troll of the Air Council and will
operate under the r. A. F. Gen.

sion of the American National
Guard, since 1898.
He entered the artillery 43 years

Order and was five times cited in

Will Arrange for Defenses.
Lord Moyne, Colonial Secretary

sponsibility for the ground de-
fense as whole would be main
tanned, the R. A. F., under military
direction and as the agent for the
army" would undertake the entire
local defense arrangements for
airdromes."
The loss Of the airfield at Kuan-
tan, on the east coast of Malaga,
touched of a flood of questions
yesterday and Conservative, Liberal
and Labor members of Commons

positive answers to questions in the
next sessions about measures to
prevent the loss of other air bases.
A decision to create a force re-
sponsible for protection OF landing
fields was understood to have been
reached at recent meetings of the
war cabinet in response to growing
alarm over repeated loss of air bases
in Norway, France, Greece, Crete
and Malaga.
Named "R. A. F. Regiment"
Lord Moyne said the new corps to
defend r. A. F., naval and Ministry
of Aircraft Production airdromes

arms. artillery and armored fighting
vehicles.
There was no hint Of the size of
the new airdrome defense group.

Italy Reports Damage
To British batt|eship
In Raid Last Month
Surprise Attack Made on
Alexandria Horbor,
Rome Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 8 tOficial Broad
csst) .-Italy's Mezzi d'Assalto-
virtually man-carrying torpedoes-
were credited today with a surprise
attack the night of December 17-18
on British warships in Alexandria
harbor in which the high command
said one battleship was seriously
damaged and another attacked. The
damaged ship, identified as one OF
the Valiant class. was said to have
been so seriously hit that it went to
drydock
The high command simply called
the attackers assault units" but
the Italian press, in a carefully
worded elaboration. indicated that
the raid was the fourth action OF
the Mezzi dAssalto-literally, as
sault weepons-which Italy has de-
veloped for suicidal overwater raids.
The 3O,6OO-ton Valiant is a sis
ter ship of the Queen Elizabeth,
flagship of Admiral Sir Andrew
Browne Cunningham, command
er of the British Mediterranean
fleet, and the Warspite. The
Valiant was built in 1910
The Italians also declared it had
been established that the British
cruiser Phoebe was sunk by torpedo
bombers of Tobruk. The AleXan-
dria raid was carried out on the
night of December II, the high
command reported.
London sources pointed out
that the previous Italian COM
munique to which Rome's claim
today referred was broadcast De-
cember 2, indicating then that
the Phoebe was sunk on or about
that date. They added that the
Phoebe was in a dock in New
York December I. hence could
hardly have been of Tobruk De-
cember 2. The Phoebe was COM
pleted in 1940D
The communique said objects re-
covered by Italian units confirmed
that the Phoebe, a vessel OF $3.50
tons, had been sunk. She was re-
ported hit by three tOrpedoS
launched by torpedo carrying planes
in the fighting of Northern Libya.
BY the Italian version, the tiny
craft used at Alexandra, suggest
ing nothing more than torpedo
with one or two men aboard. had
already gone into action at Suda
Bay, Crete. Valletta Harbor, Malta
and Gibraltar Harbor.
In the last previous action OF the
Mezzi, at Gibraltar last September.
the Italians claimed the sinking Of
three British supply ships.
The Mezzi presumably have some
Slight motive power of their own
after their single torpedoes are dis
charged, but their chances OF re-
turn to mother craft is so slight
that the men who guide them figure
/ either on death or capture when
they set out.
i The motherships are called mo
toscafi anti-sommergibil' 'anti-
submarine motorboats)-MAS for
short-which launch the tiny tor
pedo- carriers at close range
There was no explanation In the
Italian claim today for its belated
nature. London sources disavowed
knowledge of any such attack OH
Alexandria, but 1t was noted that
on December IS German COM
munique asserted that U-boat had
attacked a British cruiser forma
ton of the Egyptian port. in the
Eastern Mediterranean, sinking one
cruiser with torpedoes.
