ward the mouth of the KalamaS
river.
From Konispolis, about three
miles inland on the frontier, the
Italians have attacked in the direc-
ton of Fatiri, about six miles due
east of Konisopolis. They have oc-
cupied the village of Jannari, near
Konispolis but were repulsed when
they attempted to occupy Fatiri.
Fatiri is on the way to Filiates,
whence the road runs southwark to
Paramythia, about six miles inland,
and continues southwark to Preveza
on the Gulf of Arta. The Italians
also were repusled when they at
tempted to occupy Sajadi, Greek
village about six miles southeast of
Konispolis. From the Albanian viii
lage of Kosurica, near Konispolis,
the Italians crossed and occupied
the nearby Greek village of Kastan-
ami.
3-Along the roo which extends
from Delvino, Albania, to Janina
the Italians have advanced about
1-2 miles inside Greece. This road
makes a junction with a road from
Mesaria, about 10 miles inside
Greece.
4-The Italians are reported to
have massed their largest force in
the Mesaria sector, where the VyuSa
river crosses the frontier. 1t is here
that the northern branch of the
Janina road crosses into Albania.
The Italians have failed in attacks
on Zipalica, about two miles inside
Greek territory on the Janina road.
The Italians also have failed in an
attack on Melisopetra, about / Ia
miles inside Greece at the conflu-
ence of the Sarando PoroS and
Vyusa rivers.

Keskovik, the Italians have occupied
two Greek villages, Bobicko and
Radoti, about II IL miles north
west of MeliSopetra.
6-Farther northeast, the Italians
from the Albanian frontier village
of Nikolica unsuccessfully attacked
the Greek villages of Fusina, Pill
kaka and Slimnika, about two miles
from the frontier along tributaries

Secretary Stephen Early, says lie

Sloan made that statement late
yesterday during a visit to his bed
side of Joe Louis, negro heavyweight
boxing champion, who is supporting
Republican Presidential Nominee
Wendell L. Willkie.
Pictures were taken of Louis shak-
ing the patrolman'S hand.
Then a reporter asked Sloan:
"What are your politics?"
81 am a Democrat" Sloan replied.
For whom will you vote this
time?"
st will vote. for Mr.. Roosevelt"
Jesse Owens, former Olympic
track star, challenged Louis to a de-
bate over tn relative merits of the
two major Presidential candidates.
Owens, who worked for ALI M.
Landon,s election in 1895, is for
Roosevelt this year.
There was no indication that the
heavyweight boxing champion was
prepared to sling words with Owens.
Hitler Wants Willkie
New York, Nov. 1-(UP)-Henry
A. Wallace, Democratic vice presi-
Dental nominee, told an American
Labor Party rally at Madison Square
Garden last night that Adolf Hitler
wants Wendell L. Willkie to be ell
ected president.
He said that Nazi organizations
in this country were "herding their
members to vote for the man Hitler
wants." because if President Roose-
welt were defeated, England would
be discouraged, South America
would turn away from the United
States. and he (TIitler) would have
an easier time with his somewhat
delayed plan for world conquest"

WilIkie Killed Story
The Nation magazine said today
that Wendell L. Willkie had ordered
killed" an article sent to the mag
azine under the Republican presi-
dental nominees signature because
he had not read it.
The article already was In type and
was to have appeared in the issue Of
the liberal, weekly magazine pub
lished today.
"One day before press date, by tel
ephone and by wire from Wilkes
campaign train, the article was with
drawn" Miss Freda Kirchwey, edi-
tor of The Nation, said. THE aston
ishing explanation given for this
breach of faith was that Mr.. Willkie
had not even read the article and
had no time to examine and approve
the proofs"
Miss Kirchwey said arrangements
for the article had been initiated by
Raymond Leslie Buell., former pres
ident of the Foreign Policy associa-
ton who resigned from the staff of
Fortune magazine to join the Willkie
staff. The article was designed to
explain the candidates position on
questions that particularly inter-
ested Nation readers"
This episode" Miss Kirchwey
said, "testifies to bad organiza-
ton, to miserable liaison work in the
Willkie headquarters it also
expresses the hollow void under the
protestations of simple, hearty
honesty that Mr.. Willkie lays so SEN
tentiously before the people"

Rebuke To WilIkie
Washington, Nov. 1--CUP)-State
department officials said today that,
in accordance with international
custom, an ambassador is consid-
cred the personal representative of
the head of the state which he rep
resents. A minister is considered
the representative of the govern
ment which accredits him.
The distinction was explained by
officials of the foreign service divi-
sion of the state department In re-
spouse to inquiries about President
Roosevelt's reference in speech at
Boston to Joseph P. Kennedy as
my ambassador"
Ambassadors are given credentials
by the president which are con-
tanned in a form letter which varies

ambassador is accredited. Ken

Lieut.-Col. Sturges questioned
Major Peter E. Fox, chairman of
Board 15-A, about the theft of that
boards rubber stamp from its Office
Tuesday night. The stamp was APP
parently taken by vandals, for pa
pers were found scattered all about
the Office. The stamp can easily be
replaced, and no damage was done
to the registration cards since they
are locked in the town clerks vault
eacr night.
State board officials believe that
there will be more than enough
volunteers to fill the state quota of
219 men for November. Boards all
over the state report applications
for enlistment.
The Offices of the four boards in
the city hall basement are still be-
ing visited daily by hundreds of
young men who have not yet learned
their serial numbers.
Speed Up Plans
Washington, Nov. 1.-(UP)-Draft
officials today speeded plans for
classification of registrants prepar-
atory to induction of 10000 men into
training on Nov. 10.
Master lists" of the order num-
bers determined by Tuesdays lot
terry were en- route by airmail to
6,177 local draft boards. The lists are
needed to determine which men will
be the first to receive their clasSiti-
cation questionnaireS.
The local boards will eliminate
from the master list all serial num-
bers above the highest number in
their district. They then will give
registrants new numbers which will
determine their order in their par
ticular district.
Draft officials and the war depart
ment repeatedly were agreed on
quotas for each state for the first
men. Both agencies declined to
make public the quotas and referred
inquiries to corps area commanders
who will handle induction machin-
cry.
Numerous Complaints
Numerous complaints have reached
national headquarters from persons
who registered away from home and
who have been unable to locate their
registration cards. officials said that
when late cards are received by the
local board a search will be made
to Sc whether serial numbers were
skipped when they were allotted. If
there are any open numbers, the
card will receive one of these but if
no numbers are open, a number will
be added to the registration list and
assigned the card.
For example, in local board with
5000 serial numbers already as
signed, the new card would be desig-
mated 1901. In this case, the late
registrant would draw order num-
Der Ito and would be required to
complete a classification question
naire long before registrant 5000

lottery.
The first prospective legal test Of
the draft lottery collapsed yester-
day. A Detroit resident who held
number 158-the first drawn - had
threatened to contest the lottery be-
cause of the absence of six capsules
in the original drawing. Later he
changed his mind.
