INDIAN TRIUMPH AT MASSAWA
NEW DELHI, Ápr. 15 (Reuter).—Many deeds of gallantry by Indian troops during the operations leading to the fall of Massawa are described in despatches received from Eritrea.
The Indian troops were quick to seize the advantage and attempt actions against odds which normally would have been extremely hazardous. On several occasions enemy machine gun positions concealed in wire en-
tanglements were taken at the

During the attack on the port, an Indian Company led by a subadar succeeded in rounding up approx. imately 200 prisoners, all Europeans who were preparing to make a stand. The subadar sent a platoon around the flank with orders to open rapid
fire and eventually effected a clever
capture.
Past Minefields
Indian troops in carriers were the first to enter Massawa, despite mine- fields crowding the entrance, which were easily located and disposed of by Indian Sappers and miners.
The bill also authorises the Pre- sident to acquire 200,000 tons of auxiliary vessels for nationai de- fence and to raise the number of men enlisted to 300,000 at his discretion.
