ITALIAN RAIDS

CHILDREN KILLED FIGHTING IN GREECE ALBANIANS IN REVOLT (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Nov. 1, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 31 Reports of an organised revolt in Albania are generally discounted, but Albanian passive resistance to the Italians is spreading, especially in the south, while attempts at the further mobilisation of the northern Albanians have been abandoned. The Greeks are incensed at the Italian use of Greek marked planes in the raid on Patras on October 28. One hundred and ten bodies have sc far been recovered, including a priest, a police official, thirty women and 45 children. Two hundred bombs destroyed numerous buildings, none of which was military. The Italian bombing of Navpaktos killed a woman and injured eight civilians. Russians and Greeks now deny that Soviet planes have been sent to Greece. The German radio reported that the Italians have captured the Attica- which was en route to America from Greece.
