The communique said. It was here, that Italian bombers supporting the Infantry, had des troyed several tanks. British troops attempting to cross the Ethiopian border from Kenya, near MOyale, were thrown back, the communique said. One British officer, a non-commissioned officer and . a number of soldiers were captured in this engagement, the communique said. Two Italian planes were lost In the "bombing attacks on Port Sudan Su-dan and Aden, the communique said, and one was lost in the raid on Tunisia. . Allied aviation bombed "various points" in Eritrea but caused only slight damage, and lost one of their planes, the communique said. The growing tension . between Italy and Turkey pave increased importance to Italian . relations with Russia. The Russian ambassador, ambas-sador, Nicholas Gorelking, arrived In Rome Yesterday. Turkey and Robsia have . been friends for 20 years. Turkey's alliances with France and Britain are inoperative against Russia. Thus, Italians felt that resumption of normal relations rela-tions between Italy and Russia might help maintain peace in the near east, since Turkey probably would be reluctant to enter the war against the wishes of Russia. Egypt's action was interpreted gravely here. It was said Italian forces were awaiting any eventuality eventual-ity along the Libyan frontiers on Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian ouunn.
