 Eisenhower early arrival in Lon don was foreshadowed by his isSu- ance of farewell message to the forces under his command in the Mediterranean theater.
 The general told the Mediterran- can armies he would meet them again "in the heart of the enemy's continental stronghold obvious reference to Berlin. He reiterated that victory will be ours"--a vic- tory he previously had predicted would come this year--H everyone does his full duty.
 Soon leave this theater to as- sume other duties assigned me by the Allied government" he said in the message released at Allied head quarters in Algiers. T take my leave of you with feelings of personal re- gret that are equalled only by my pride in your brilliant accomplish mentS of the year just passed.
 "You, along with other Allied forces fighting on many fronts, have already achieved the certainty that, provided every soldier, sailor and airman, and every citizen in our homelands, continues necessarily to do his full duty. victory will be ours.
 Altogether. you comprise a mighty fighting machine which, un- der your new commander, will con- tinue as a completely unified fn- strument of war to make further in- roads into the enemys defenses and assist in bringing about his final collapse

Greek Partisans also were stepping up their offensive activities in con- junction with Italian garrison troops who fled to the mountains to resist the Germans following Italy's surrender to the Allies. The Italians and Greeks were said to have established contact with Broz- ovich for the establishment of a common Balkan front.
 Balkan reports, probably German inspired reaching Turkey said re- cent strong endorsements had bolStered the number of Axis troops in southeastern Europe to between 300, 900 and 100000.
 Travellers from Sofia told Turkish correspondents that all transport in Bulgaria had been requisitioned by the Germans and only military transport was running south and east. Trains from Sofia reached the Turkish border 10 to 12 hours late. Schools and hospitals in Bulgaria were said to have been requisitioned by the Germans to accommodate German wounded from the Russian front.
 Reports reaching Turkey from Rumania indicated morale was low news of Axis defeats was being sup pressed. Rumanian underground broadcasts, undoubtedly from Rus sian territory, trumpeted announce ments of Russian and other Allied successes, however.
 One unconfirmed report said the Russians had dropped parachutists in Rumania to spread panic. The Rumanian interior ministry an- nounced the arrest of six Commun- ists, five opposition members and four HungarianS for "antisecurity activities"

LABOR SITUATION
 STILL CRITICAL
Changes Within Plants Have Little Effect on
 Picture Locally

Although various changes have occurred in industrial plants of the Waterbury area within recent weeks the labor situation is still critical, Area War Manpower Director Mary M. Dewey stated today disclosing results of a WING survey which has just been completed.
 Questionnaires were submitted to 37 plants in an effort to obtain a general picture on changes in shifts, hours and production, she stated. Answers received to the 10 queries presented disclose erous changes within the plants but they appear to have little effect on the general labor picture, the director said.
 A more detailed survey was start ed today by the U. s. Employment Service which conducts 8 special study every two months. Repre- sentatives will visit the 37 plants on its list before Jan. g to study conditions and it is believed the survey will be used as basis for reclassifying the area. At the pres ent time the area is in the No. "cricticar class, and some observ- CTS believe 8 change to the No. 2 classification may be forthcoming
 Mrs. Dewey revealed that two of the plants surveyed have dropped their swing shifts and have placed the workers in the other two shifts. The hours for the employees have not been shortened but the produc- ton hours have been leSsened by the move, the director stated.
 Two special studies, requested by plant management, will open here this week under the direction of utilization experts from Bridgeport and New Haven, it was disclosed. A regular investigator for the area is receiving training at the present time in Boston and is expected to join the local WING staff shortly.
 Mrs. Dewey stated that many skilled workers are still needed in the Waterbury area, particularly employees with Strong backs" A shortage of heavy labor has existed here for many months.
 Some of the recent queStionnaires were returned just over the week end and detailed report is ex- pected to be compiled from the an- swerS shortly.

 Scores of German trucks, begged down in the mountain snow drifts. were bombed and Strafed repeatedly and more than 100 were destroyed, along with the number of locomo- tives and supply trains.
 American and British planes also raided Civitavecchia, on the west coast above Rome, and San Bene- detto, on the east coast.
 Only two Allied planes were lost in the wide-ranging attacks, and returning pilots reported that the luftwaffe failed to throw a single opposing fighter into the air.
 U. S. Fighters
 American fighters, usually oc- cupied escorting the 18th Air Forces heavy bombers, went trouble shoot ing" over the Rome area and cir- cled the city for 90 minutes with out drawing a challenge from the luftwaffe's snow-bound pilots.
 Similarly, the Nazis refused tc risk their planes to protect the trapped truck conveys in the Ap- penines. The trucks were stranded in the open near Avezzano, Poscina and Chicti at the height of the storm Saturday night, apparently while trying to rush supplies up to the battlefront.
