U-Boat Attacks
Menace State,
Churchill Says

Unidentified Attackers Hit
Yugoslav Frontier City;
Cause Heavy Casualties
(By The Associalbed Press)
One ofGermany's two remaining
"pocket battleships" was reported to
have pounced on a convoy of British
vessels in mid-Atlantic yesterday in
a new challenge-to the Royal Navy
--even as Prime Minister Churchill,
frankly told the British that the Ger-
man submarine menace would, if not
stopped. "touch the life of the state."
The raiding warship appeared
about 1,000 miles east of Newfound-*
land.
A brief message from the British
passenger liner Rangitiki, 16,698 tons,
said she was being "shelled by an
enemy ship of the Graf Spee class"
half-way between Ireland and New-
foundland. This would be either the
Admiral Scheer or the Luetzow, for-
merly the Deutschland.
There was no further word from
the Rangitiki-but two hours later
an S.O.S. from the 4,952-ton freight-
er Cornish City said she was being
attacked by the raider.
Still later, a message said the
pocket battleship still was attacking
the convoy.
Fighters Beat Off Germans
Meanwhile, British fighters beat
off four day-time attempts by the
Germans to raid London, where
Churchill told Parliament the civilian
dead from air raids in England to-
taled 14,000, with 20,000 more
wounded.
TheGermans returned for their
usual night assault on London and
the British answered with a bomb
attack aimed at German-occupied
Boulogne, France, and. German gun
emplacements on Cap Gris Nez,
France. ,An air raid alarm in Switz-
erland indicated the RAF again was
flying to Italy last night.
Reports from Belgrade, Yugoslavia,
said warplanes, their identity unde-
termined, three times bombed the
Yugoslav frontier city of Bitolj and
killed nine persons, wounded 21 and
caused heavy property damage.
British, Italian and. Greek diplo-
mats all disclaimed responsibility for
the attack.
Italians Report Drive
The Italians reported their troops
had driven a salient to the head-
waters of the Vojussa River, about
15 miles northeast of the Greek City
of Ioannina, the Italians' first big
objective
Farther north along the front, the
Greeks were reported to have the
Albanian base of Koritza under can-
non fire, causing civilian evacuation
of the town, and were reported to
have cut communications between
the main Italian army and a force
of 30,000 Italians in the Koritza area.
Athens had its longest air raid
alarm of the nine-day-old war today
as Italian bombers in two thrusts
dropped a number of bombs in an
unsuccessful attack on Piraeus, the
port of Athens, and the towns of
Phaleron and Ellinoco nearby. .
Heavy anti-aircraft fire was heard
for more than 30 minutes in the cen-
ter of Athens itself. Slight damage
was reported in Piraeus.
The planes came over in two waves
of three bombers each.
Greece's premier, General John
Metaxas, received the British Minis-
ter, Sir Michael Palairet, and con-
ferred with King George II.

for the performances Friday and

calling Albert Stutz, Grad., manager
of the Art Cinema, at 6300. All seats
will be reserved, and may be had for
35c.
Starred in the cast are Gaby Mor-
lay, Jean Yonnel, Pierre Renoir, and
Edmonde Guy, well-known European
actors. Although French is the lan-
guage of the film, English sub-titles
have been added. The picture has
been produced on a lavish scale with
accent on spectacular sets, gay cos-
tumes and superior music. Beeto-
ven's works will be played by a sym-
phony orchestra. Additional music
has been included by Adolphe Bor-
chard, noted Parisian composer.
The showing of the film Friday
,will be in the nature of a fulfillment
of a prophecy which Tolstoy made
on his eightieth birthday. That was
back in 1908 before the motion pic-
ture had acquired any standing as
an art anywhere in the world. Cam-
era men flocked around the great
octogenarian to record the event.
When Tolstoy saw the new gadget
he predicted that it would mark a
new day in story-telling and put to
shame an old-time writer like him-
self with his hundreds upon hun-
dreds of pages.

Serkin skyrocketed to fame in
America on his first visit to this
country seven years ago. After play-
ing one concert in New York's Car-
negie Hall, the pianist was deluged
with invitations to appear with the
major symphony orchestras through-
out the United States.
Last season he established an extra-
ordinary record, making 11 New York
appearances and 16 as guest soloist
with eight symphony orchestras in
addition to a lengthy tour through
the country.
Still in his early thirties, Serkin is
acclaimed throughout the continent.
He made his debut with the Vienna
Symphony orchestra when he was 12
years old. On his program Thurs-

An unusual feature about Serkin
is that he combines his musical
genius with peculiar and interesting
wersonal traits. For instance, he be-

music in the concert hall is just plain
noise to the neighbors, and so he
considerately keeps two pianos in his
New York apartment-in rooms as
far apart as possible. He practices
a while on one, then on the other.
"That gives the neighbors at each
end a rest," he explains.
