announced
that
British

naval
units,
under
command
of
Admiral
Sir
An
drew
Cunningham,
engaged
in
a

in
the

and
as
a
result,
one
Italian
bat
tleship,
of
the
Utloria
class
and
two
cruisers
of
'.from
5,000
to
10,000
tons
were
severely
damaged
and
possibly
sunk.
It
micht
be
assumed
that
at
least
one
Italian,
warship
had
been
sunk
in
the
battle.
No
damage
to
British

was
mentioned.

some

The

took
place
yesterday
andmly
pre-'

The

statement
said
that
operations
were
"of'
some

A
later
official
Admiralty
.communique
on
the
engage
ment
said:
"It
may
-be
assumed
that
at

sunk.
Further
information
on
the
naval
action
in

not

available
but
rafts
containing
Italian
survivors
have
been
reported
this
morning
by

It
may,
therefore,
be

that

"The
National
Building
Record
'is
expected
to
become
a
national
institution
of
considerable
importance,"
a
spokesman
said,
"It
will
play
its
part,
after
tha
iwar,
in
matters
of
reconstruction
and
re-development
by
helping
to
settle
vexed
questions
of
what
to
preserve,
what
to
rebuild
and
what
not
to
rebuild.
"It
will
be
of
vital
importance
where
the
decision
'reinstate
an
'old
building
has
been
taken.
And
it
will
provide
for
practising
architects,
students,
artists,
war
historians,
historians
of
architecture
and
'ithe
general
public
a
body
of
easily

Information

drew
up
a
detailed
scheme
for
the
establishment
of

approached
Lord
Relth,

Lord
Relth
approved
the
scheme
and
on
his
representations
the
Treasury
made
a
grant
sufficient
for

to

of
its
