Fighting Greeks
Stall Rome Drive
Into Balkan Area
English Mine Waters
To Prevent Maneuvers
Slicing Nation in Two
By UNITED PRESS

Greek soldiers fighting in
the frontier mountains were
reported Wednesday to have
stalled the Axis offensive in
to the Balkans with the aid Of
Great Britain's navy and bad
weather. Unconfirmed reports were
heard in Bulgaria that Germany
was seeking to end the conflict.
Dispatches from the Jugoslav
frontier said that severe fighting
was in progress at half a dozen
points inside the Greek border but
that italian columns had been
hurled back with considerable loss
at some points, especially in the
Korea sector to which Fascist rein
forcements were being rushed.
Unfavorable weather was said to
have hampered Italy's big air fleet,
while the Italian navy was appar-
emily blocked out of the most inn
portant Greek zone by the laying
of British mines along the west
coast and around the CULTS of Pa
tras, Corinth and Aegina.
Censorship and poor communica-
tions still obscured the full extent
OF fighting and the progress of
the Italian campaign-which Italy
said was proceeding normally-but
in the capital of Bulgaria there were
persistent unconfirmed reports that
an effort was being made to bring
the Greek war to quick end Ger
many, it was asserted, was taking
the lead in that direction.
While reports circulated in Rome
that Premier Benito N6oOlini
might soon fly to the Greek far
front, Jugoslav newspapers pub
lished frontier reports saying that
a strong Greek force below the
Albanian border had blocked the
main Italian advance and that
both sides were rushing reinforce
mentS into the battle.
The real extent of Greek resis-

for President Roosevelt.
Another result in the state SEN
ate race between Charles Wieman
and George Luckey also was be-
yond the realm of credulity. The
straw vote showed Wieman lead
ing Luckey 144 votes to 88.
Even the most enthusiastic back
ers of Willkie admitted that I'M
perlal county would not go that
heavily for the COP candidate al
though they felt the county would
definitely pile up a majority for
i'm.
1t was impossible to determine
exactly the explanation for the
one sided straw vote balloting, ex-
cept that it probably reflected eth
er ballot box stuffing" or the fact
that one faction was more active
than the other in urging partisans
to make a showing in the vote. In
all likelihood the latter eXplana-
ton was the most probable be-
cause of the enthusiastic activity
shown by Wilkie clubs and Willkie
Volunteers.
Only tally that conceded at all
with the expectations of the most
experienced election observers was
in the House of Representatives
race that saw Ed Fletcher swamp
Rep. Ed Izac by 1876 to Al. Fletcher
had been expected to lead strongly
in Imperial county, though perhaps
by not SO great a margin as this
would indicate. Izac's chief strength
was expected to lie in San Diego
county and the question appeared
to hinge in this race not so much
upon how Imperial county, would
go, but on how much Of Izac's
strength in San Diego the COP
candidate could cut down.

Imperial men will be among the
first 10000 to march off to training
camps Nov. 18.
Although the eventual quota
which will be doled out to the two
Imperial Valley Selective Service
boards to supply was still a matter
of guesswork, the total for the
county was not expected to exceed
$50 men. This will be Imperials
share of the 100000 men who will
be called within a few months.
Even without the volunteers
who are expected to fill the Nov.
18 quota--only a dozen men in the
valley would be included among
the first 10000.
Selective Service Director Clar-
ence Dykstra estimated in Wash
ington, D. c., that the first 1,5OO,-
to 5000 numbers drawn will pro-
vide the 100000 who will form the
first trainee contingent in the new
national army. The remaining
thousands are a backlog for next
year and the year after as train
ing progresses.
John Donohue, chairman of the
southend board in Imperial coun-
ty, said questionnaires would 60
out to the men whose numbers
were drawn first as soon as the
official list is forwarded from the
national capital.
He said the sending of uues-
tlonnalreS and the subsequent claS-
sification of prospective soldiers in
his district would continue steadi-
ly thereafter, but that it would re-
quire at least month and prob
ably longer to classify all the more
than 5000 in the southend dis
trict.
The military service lottery ended
at 2:48 am. Pacific time) We'd
nesday after more than l7h hours
of drawing numbers from the World
war fish bowl. At the close, the
bowl was six numbers short of the
5000 supposed to be there. Officials,
according to the United Press,
could not account for the missing
numbers but said no registrant
would be without an order number.
Searching for the missing six
numbers, lottery officials came up
with two more missing from one
list although only six were missing
from another. The official and ac-
curate list is Photographic rec
ord which has not been completely
checked.
So a few minutes after a.m

numbers were placed in a brown
