while the rhododendron is gener-
ally accepted as the washington
State Flower, it has never been Of
ficially so designated. The accept
auce of the rhododendron is based at
least in part on action taken by
the washington State Federation OF
Women's Clubs. It Is included in
the states official publications as
Washington's flower. There IS a
movement now sponsored by the
citizens of Port Townsend and 9TH
er Olympic Peninsula communities
to have proper action taken by the
legislature at its next session to
make the rhododendron official.
Port Townsend has one Of the fin
est rhododendron areas in the state,
and for that reason old Fort Town
send, now abandoned as a military
reservation and with a timbered
area heavily stocked with rhododen-
drons, is recommended for a state
park.

British Bomb Area
OF Naples, Killing
IA and Injuring 10
Success on Eeyption
And Greek Fronts
Is Claimed by Rome
BY the associated Press.

By the associated Press.
ROME, Nov. 6.-The italian high
command reported today that Brit
ish warplanes had bombed the area
around Naples during the night,
killing IA persons and injuring 10.
The raid was the third in less than
a week on Naples, center of many
important italian war industries.
The attack was disclosed in a
communique reporting new successes
by Italian troops on both the Greek
and Egyptian fronts.
On the northern flank of the
Greek warfront, the high command
said, italian forces yesterday re-
PEELED Greek attacks between Lake
Presba and Kapestica Pass after vio-
lent fighting
British Are Pursued.
In Egypt, Italian forces were said
to have driven more than 80 miles
to the southeast of Sidi Barrani,
their Egyptian outpost, in pursuit
of fleeing British forces.
The Italian air force was reported
to have played a large part in the
action around Lake PreSba, ma
chine-gunning and bombing Greek
troop columns and communications
lines.
CThe Greek high command
said today the Italians had been
driven back beyond the Albanian
border on the northern front and
that Greek forces had captured
mountain positions commanding
the Albanian city of Koritza, i'm
portant Italian baseJ
The Italians also asserted their
air force had heavily bombed the
station at Phlorina, cutting rail-
way line supplying the Greek forces
on the Presba front, and had at
tackled important crossroads on the
opposite end of the front.
Naval Bases Raided.
Other raids were reported on
Greek naval bases on both coasts.
Heavy anti-aircraft fire was cred
tied with driving away the British
warplanes which attacked Naples
before they could do extensive dam
age.
The casualties, the high command
said, were caused by bombs which
fell on Surbo, in Lecci Province east
of Naples and nearby Sanvito Del
Normanni.
An Italian torpedo boat also was
credited with sinking British sub
marine which attacked an italian
convoye in the Central Mediter-
ranean.

In Tense, Busy Election Night
Whole City Listens to Reports ond Analyses
In WMAL Broodcosts From City Room

At 4 pm. yesterday afternoon,
woman called The Star and asked:
who won the election?"
That was the send-off.
BY pm. every man was at his
typewriter or his telephone and the
election night machinery of The
Star had begun to turn over as the
first figures began trickling in.
Sixteen staff men faced huge
blackboard of election returns. Be-
fore each was a telephone. a pile
of Associated Press bulletins and
light that f1ickered every time a
Washingtonian called The Star.
Each man had two or three States
to report on. That was the special
telephone service.
Not far away, six men were get
ting material from a special Associ-
ated Press wire to whip into shape
for an hourly roll call of the States
on the radio.
Specialists Preparing.
Star special writers-G. Gould
Lincoln, Will P. Kennedy, James E.
Chinn-were preparing periodic
broadcasts on the national picture,
the congressional returns, the re-
suits in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
Station WMAL engineers had set
up their machinery in another spot
in the city room and two WMAL an
nouncers, Ray Michael and Don
Gardiner, had joined The Stars Bill
Coyle at the microphone for the
first broadcast from the city room.
The Star had promised to tell
Washington the story of the 1910
election. 1t was on its way.
The telephone calls started COM
ing faster-94 from 5 pm. to pm,
176 the second hour, 1873 the third,
1873 the fourth, 301 the fifth, and all
the phone signals blinking.

had a narrow lead in the first rush
of returns from New York State
and its prize of At electoral votes as
yet belonged to nobody. However,
in the Roosevelt fold at that time
were such populous and powerful
States as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
California, Ohio, Missouri, and
again the capricious Indiana. The
Presidents tentative electoral vote
then stood at 440 and Mr.. WILKES
at 81.

Among the effects of the presi-
Dental contest incidental to the
main issues, the most spectacular
involved the career of John L. Lewis,
president of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations. Mr.. Lewis
made his continuation in the C. I. o.
leadership dependent on a Willkie
victory when he announced recently
his support for the Republican
nominee and his unequivocal oppo-
