Don't Throw Vote Away,'
Norman Thomas Tells Rally

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President, told a party rally yester-
day that you will throw your vote
away unless you vote the Socialist
ticket"
Those who have refused to sup
port our Socialist case lest they
permit the greater evil to overtake
them cannot even agree which is
the greater evil" he said.
1T has been our experience that
there is a practically even division
between those who think that we
must be saved from Willkie, and
those who think we must be saved
from Roosevelt.
The mathematics of the case
alone should lead those tortured
souls to vote the Socialist ticket
rather than to cancel each other
out"
America, he said, has definitely
taken the wrong road. But . she
has not walked in it so far that she
cannot retrace her steps"

Italian, British War Fleets Ready
For Battle # Duce Moves on Greece

The foreign office denied reports
that Italy had made any demand on
Greece to renounce the guarantee
of its safety which Great Britain
had given it.
There seemed some doubt such a
demand would be made on the
ground that now that Britain and
Italy were at war, Britain would
automatically aid Greece if Italy
attacked her.
1t was denied that Gen. Metaxas
was seeking the aid of Adolf Hitler
or that Greek army leaves had been
Cancelled.
Greece has made TO real prepara-
tion for war but Greeks seemed
ready to make stand if italy at
tackled and they seemed to have
confidence that they would have
the support not only of Great Bri-
tain but of Turkey and Jugoslavia
For the present the government
seemed to be putting its reliance
on the guarantee by Great Britain
of assistance if Greece were at

A PORT IN DOVER, England, Aug.
23 (UP)-German long range ar
tillery bombardment today caused
people with no pressing business to
leave this area.
AS the exodus began police and
members of the air raids precau-
tions service began clearing up the
wreckage in places where shells
from the super-Big Berthas on the
French coast had fallen.
Damage was confined to civilian
property, exclusively, including a
church. Another church suffered a
direct hit and one corner of its
roof was smashed.
Despite the exodus, the shelling
disturbed the normal life of the
town only slightly.
All persons with whom I talked
said they would rather be under
fire from aerial bombs than the
shells of long range guns but the
general sentiment appeared to have
been reflected in the statement:
I'VE will stick it out until Adolf
shows us something worse"
Those who inspected the damage
were amazed that in view of the
fact that 40 shells struck the town
or exploded over it more houses
were not damaged. Casualties were
only two killed and five wounded
In general the damage was con-
fined to broken windows and shrap.
