II Duce Mussolini told his people
that Greece's back would surely
be broken, but thus far the only
fracture of the Italo = Greek wal
seems to be Italian, not Greek.
The back of the Italian attack
all along the 1O0-mile front is obvl-
ously bending if not already frac'
tured. Whatever her ultimate fate,
Greece has struck a stunning blow
at Italian prestige, already British
dimmed in Egypt and at sea.
It seems probable, too, that the
Greek stand has forced a drastic
revision of the Axis timetable, and
ruled out the possibility of any
early dramatic German-Italian ac-
ton in the Eastern war theatre.
Hints
There are hints of that from Ber-
lin. Nazi commentators talk of the
big push in the East coming next

FAMILY
OBSERVES HOLIDAY
Attends Midi Morning
Church Service AT Which
Prayer For Peace Offered

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. 21.-
R-A prayer for a new peace ir
the old world and a continued
peace in America guided President
Roosevelt and his family today in
a typical observance of Thanks
giving.
The prayer was offered at a spe.
cial mid-morning communion serv.
ice in the chapel of st. James
Episcopal church.
After that solemn beginning for
a day of Thanksgiving, the chief
executive went on a long motor
ride in the afternoon that whetted
an appetite for a turkey dinner
with all the trimmings.
The church country enjoys so
regular Episcopal procedure.
"This great country enjoys so
much" the Rev. Frank R. Wilson
observed in a brief sermon. The
grandest thing of all it enjoys is
peace, and a great amount of Sc
curity.
"But we cannot just sit back and
gloat. We have an opportunity, a
work to do. We must pass these
blessings on to others"
Quoting the famous biblical pas.
sage that "a little child shall lead
them," MIR. Wilson said a school
boy among his parishioners had
said he was thankful on Thanksgiv.
ing day that he was an American.
I'VE find that practically no place,
nowhere else in the world today,
can children be as thankful as
here in America" the rector said.
what is home to a child any
where else?"
The turkey dinner at Hyde Park
house was a family affair. Never
since he had been president had
the President spent a Thanksgiv-
ing day at his boyhood home above
the Hudson. Always before, except
when he went to South L--cerica in
1886, Mr.. Roosevelt had spent the
holiday with the patients of the
foundation for ~infantile paralysis
victims at Warm Springs, Georgia.
He had wanted to 60 back there
this year, but said that with world
affairs in a critical state he felt it
was too far from Washington.

UNION HEAD ATTACKED
Says AFL Talking Peace

Reputation of it's promises was
charged to the American FEEDER
alton of Labor tonight by David
Dubinsky, union head who said ne
was thrice attacked for his meas
ure to outlaw racketeers from the
organization.
Dubinsky, asserting the ALL was
talking peace with the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations but at the
same time trying to raise funds
for a 'war chest" said:
Opposes War Funds
''They have gone back on their
pledges that brought my union, the
International Ladies' Garment
Workers, back into the ALL. 1 am
not opposed to the ALL trying to
raise more funds but I am opposed
to use of the money for punitive
purposes.
eff we talk peace with the C1O,
why should we have a Wal chest!
Dubinsky was n of the organ
izers of the CLIO, but last June was
re-admitted to the AFL.
The Dubinsky resolution would
enable the ALL to take into its
own hands the power-now lacking
to drive racketeers and labor
gangsters from the unions. Dublin

Daniels Denies American

Ambassador Josephus Daniels in a
formal note to the Mexican govern
ment tonight branded as false the re-
ports-already refuted by captains of
the ships involved - that U. S. de-
stroyers had stopped two vessels
near Tampico harbor.
Because the captains of the Mexi-
can tanker C%errohazul and the Hon
duran freighter Ceiba had denied
they were stopped and required to
show their papers to U. S. warships,
Daniels presentment to the govern
ment was considered merely a for,
mality to close the incident.

The false reports, however, had
