He succeeds Herb Brett. De Luxe Draftee | Officers of the Fourth Corps Area decided to induct the section’s | first draftee into the army in style. Lucky conscript was Clyde Odell Brown, of Heard County Ga. The general bought him a custom-tailored uniform, took him to the Governor's Mansion for lunch, to a night club in the evening and put him up for the ngiht in Atlanta’s swankiest hotel. Pictured above is the finale of the induction de luxe as Brown had break fast in bed the morning after. GREEK SOLDIERS ENTER OUTSKIRTS OF PORTO EDDA (Continued from Page One) were “quite heavy” and that more than 500 Italian prisoners were aken. The Greeks marching beyond Pre met, he asserted, were "received en- j thusiastlcally by a population liber ated from Fascist servitude.” Reports from the front said the Greek airforce had dive-bombed mechanized Italian units, virtually destroying some of them, and had at tacked barracks which later became enveloped in black smoke. Italian trenches also were reported bombed. CAPTURE ITALIANS j OCHRIDA. Yugoslavia, Deo. 5.— | UP)—Greek forces, gathering speed i in their counter-invasion of Italian (held Albania, were declared by j Greek sources tonight to have enter ed the southern port of Porto Edda and to have captured 1,500 Italians in the thrust towards Elbasani in central Albania. Greek informants said their troops were expected to seize the Italian southern base of Argirocastro by to morrow, while on the central front the Italians were withdrawing down the Viosa river valley towards Tepe leni. Neutral observers reported, how ever, that elements of three new Ital ian divisions had just arrived in Al bania. Withdraw At the opposite end of the moun tain-broken battlefront, near the Yu goslav border, Greek troops, fighting in snow and fog, were said to have cleared their foe from the last posi .ions on Kamia and Mokra moun ta'ns, forcing a continued Italian withdrawal toward Elbasani, on tl-» road to Tirana, Albania’s capital. Meanwhile, Albanian refugees ar riving in Yugoslavia declared that Italy faced a general uprising in her Albanian protectorate unless she could deliver food and supplies. They asserted that hundreds of Albanian deserters from the Italian army were hiding out, in mountains and forests. VIRTUAL, lULLArsn The reported new successes in the astonishing Greek campaign would mean virtual collapse of the Italians’ southern operations. Thirty-nine days ago when this Balkan war started Italian forces of invasion in the southern sector were aimed at capture of Ioannina, in northern Greece, and eventually Athens, the Greek capital, itself. At the other end of the Albanian front other Fascist columns atttem - ed to drive east onto Phlorina, Greece, enroute to Salonika. This northern drive was squelched by Greek assaults which brought cap ture of the Italians' base, Koritza, and later Pogradetz. Now if the reports oa Porto Edda and Argirocastro are to be credited, Italy has lost the principal sea gate way into southern Albania and stands to lose her last remaining base in the frontier region for con quest of Greece. Heavy fighting was reported in southern and central sectors of the Albanian front with Italian aviation attempting to stim the Greek ad vances. The British Royal Air Force, according to Athens reports, also was taking a strong hand in the Greek offensive.
