Greek Isle Of Corfu
Taken When Garrison
OF 50 Surrenders
Aibonion Purtisons Win
Another Inland Town
Behind Porto Eddo
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, Oct. 14.-Allied troops
have captured the Greek island
OF Corfu in the Ionian Sea after
the German garrison of only &c
men surrendered without firing
a shot, 1t was announced today
At the same time, Albanian Par
tisanS on the mainland occupied
Delvino, an inland road center above
the port of Sarande porto Edda)
which previously was captured.
The fall of Corfu, Sarande and
Delvino eliminated both the AL
banian coastal road and coastal
waters as avenues OF Nazi escape
northward from Greece. The com
paratively light opposition encoun-
tered in the area indicated the
Nazis no longer attached high value
to these routes.
Earlier, it had been reported that
the Germans had garrisoned Corfu
with a regiment of troops. The
island is 38 miles long and from :
to 20 miles wide. 1t has an area OF
275 square miles and a population
of 100000.
Allied headquarters announced
that at Sarande delayed action ex-
plosives left by the Germans blew
up the center of the town, but there
were no casualties.
Allied headquarters again was
silent on the operations of British
land forces and Partisans on the
Greek mainland. The light column
which marched across the Pelopon-
nesus from Patrai last was reported
at Corinth.
There still was no official confir-
nation of yesterdays reports that
the Germans had evacuated Athens
and that the Greek flag was flying
from the Acropolis.
The bombardment of the island of
Angina just off Athens in the Gulf
Of Saronikos on October IL by the
British light cruiser Colombo was
announced. The cruiser shelled an
enemy battery on the island but
there was. nothing to indicate
whether the Nazis still were man
ming defenses there.
