Italian Base

At Port_o_ Edda‘

Fascist Troops driven back almost to edge of imi-

-portant Sea Base.

By Mu II-arrelson Associated Press Staff Writer AGIFHENS. Dec. (Wednesday) (AP) — Greek troops have advanc- ed to within a. mile and a. quarter of Porto Edda, the Italians’ south- ernmost sea base in Albania, a gov- n announced ear- ly today.

In that area, he said, the Fas- cists are retreating rapidly.

He reported, too, that Greek gains are continuing along the en- tire front despite bad weather and stubborn Italian resistance at some points.

One important advance claimed was the occupation of the heights northeast of Libohovo. some six miles southwest of Argirocastro, the Italian supply base.

In the centre of the front, the spokesm n said the Greeks seized the plateau of Platovouni, "where our men crushed strong enemy resistance." I

The capture of some 100 prison- ers in that sector -—speclflcally in the region of the town of Premet - was claimed, and the spokesman said that as the Italians retreated one of their "choice" companies was decimated and a captain, another officer and "what. was left of the company” were made prisoners.

The Greek right wing was (ze- olarved to have pushed through snow and bad weather generally to ex- tend its line northwest of Moskopo- lis, and to have dislodged the It.- alians from the heights in that area.

The Greek high command an- nounced the capture of new heights around Pogradctz on the northrrxi front and the seizure of an unstai- ed number of Italian prisoners and certain heavy arms.

Its communique added that Greek bombers had successfully attacked storehouses behind the Fascist lines,

setting big fires. ‘rwo Italian lane; were shot down to one Cree loss.

55-111“. B Cbneral advance into Albania had been claimed for Greek willie“ moving across battlefields wet with snow.

The most important thrust, a gov. ernment spokesman said, was that oi.’ the left wing which was report- ed to have advanced beyond 5mm Quaranta (which the Italians can Porto Edda. after Mussolinfs daugh- ter) in an encircling movement that. threatened to trap u... 1w, 1;- allan fighting force in the sour-h. western tip of Albania.

(Dispatches from Ochrida, Yugq. IIB-Vl-fl. 0n the Albanian frontier, said the Greeks had driven Ital- ian Bersaglieri out of Mumulishta, north of captured Pogradetz, in an action designed to mop up Fascist resistance on the road to Elban- sanl, south of Tirana, the capital.)

Casualties were said to be heavy in fierce fighting during which the Greeks repulsed an Italian coun- ter-attack and advanced to the Devoll River.

Although the Greeks apparently

had not smashed Italian defences at Santi Quaranta, their spokes- man said the "enemy retreated to the heights around Delvino. about, live miles northeast of the port. and 1185 passed, in depth, Santi Quay". anta." ‘ ‘ ‘The high comurand said the road lillkllls the DOrI with Arguocastru. 15 miles northeast, had beer plac- ed under Greek artilley firs, and irbthe centre the Greeks seized liciglrts in Prclnct. east of Argiro- castro.

Three Italian planes were report- ed shot down trying to penctrate the Eplrus sector, near the coast.

The high command said a num- ber of prisoners were added to l3,- 000 already taken in the norfh where 5,000 surrendered en mass:

ships of 87,975 tons had been sunk by enemy action in the week ended Nov. 24.

This ran 30,000 tons above the weekly average since the start of the war and a naval spokesmgn said frankly it reflected'“a serious menace."

The ministry of information put the totrl lost during the four weeks cnded Nov. 24 at 323.157 Ions,
