Italians Claim Convoy Sunk

ROME--Italians claimed today that their warships and airplanes land smashed a convoy of American-made war materials in the Mediterranean, sinking or damaging seven British warships, possible including the giant battle ship Nelson, and four merchant ships in a nine-hour battle.

The ships carried supplies from Boston, routed through the Mediterranean by way of Bermuda and Gibraltar, Italians sources said.
