The Greek high command an- nounced that Italian attacks on the Greek left. in the theatre near the Ionian Sea. had been repulsed.

The bombardment began a little after s oclock last. night and went on intcrmittentl through the night and into tlie early morning hours. When it was over returning pilots said that flames could be seen 00 milcs away. -

The raid was launched by an extraordinarily bl force of med- ium and heavy-b mbcrs. The min- lstry said some of the heaviest calibre bombs yet carried'into Ger- many were dropped.

The plant section was straddled by falling bombs from end to end. tie ministry said. “and within a few moments the whole of the fac- tory area had become a mass of raging flames engulfing the loiig lines of buildings and lighting up the sky with a glow which could be seen from 60 miles away.

A pilot remarked that he flew over a fire which "must have been nearly a mile long and a quarter- mile wide."

The Ridleys distress call, inter- ceptcd here by MacKay radio. did not. give her exact position but said she requires ‘immediate assist- ance." Her position was estimat- ed by shipping circles here to be about 340 miles off St. Vincent. one of the group of Islands. Cause of the fire was unknown.

The SOS was the second ironi the wide Atlantic heard here today‘. The freighter Empire Dorado. a British ship believed to have been purchased recently in the United States. asked thLs morning fir “llPlli urgciitl ," saying she was ‘sinking slowly."

Reason for the dlStTGSF call was not. given but it was presumed hcrc the vessel was being unack- ed. The fact that the ilfeboaks had been smashed indicated the ship had been shelled. perhaps by a sub- marrnc or a surface raider which had slipped through Britain's block- ade.
