War Moves On
 Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert)

The Greek capture today of Kor- itza, Italy's most important field base in Albania, must lead to reor- ganization of the Fascist plans of campaign against Greece and may stimulate revolt among the Alban- ian tribesmen gravely increasing Italy's difficulties. If Mussolini re- ceives no help it is well within the possibilities that he must choose between abandoning the Greek war or lessening his commitments else- where or calling more troops to the colors.
 It is disconcertlng to the Italians that the Greeks have shown a stronger offensive fighting spirit than the Fascists. First in defensive tactics within their own territory and now in offensive operations amid the Albanian mountians, Greek leadership and Greek mili- tary elan have been superior to their opponents.
 MusSolini apparently has erred primarily in taking on more am- bilious program of conquest than his present military strength allows In his speech last Monday, Il Duce said the Italian armies now total 100000 men. That number is not sufficient for such grandiose enter priseS as the Fascist general staff has envisioned.
 Defeat of Britain
 At the top of Mussolinis list oi future accomplishments promised tc the Italian people is the defeat oi Great Britain in North Africa. huge army must be required before any such major offensive can b( started. In addition, Jugoslavia' uncertain position necessitate! keeping large Italian forces near thu Jugoslav boundary.
 Too, In warfare, it is essential tt maintain heavy reserves at home tG guardr against the unexpected.
 When the requirements of tht campaign in Greece are added tt these other demands. 1t is eertals that much more than a l,000,00I troops are reeded However. Il Duc' has assured the Italians that therI will be no general mobilization.

 You can see my position in the matter" he told the United Press. T feel that because of the news paper stories that have appeared that I owe it to my employer to take this action.

The Greek entry into Koritza a southeast Albanian city of some 10000 population, was made this morning. Sturdy Evzone formations who had wrested mountain peaks around the town from Italian hands led the entry.
 The town was taken over about 10 a. m. when a delegation of Koritza s civil authorities, headed by the AL banian mayor, emerged from the hell-battered town under a white flag and requested that Greek troops enter.
 The Koritza delegation was es- corted to Greek field headquarters while the Evzones marched into the town, followed by several hundred gendarmes and motorcycle police officers, armed with sub-machine guns.
 They found many streets in the Moslem quarter of the town almost completely burned out by fire! started by Greek shells and by evacu. ating Italians. .-es.azs
 The remaining citizens of tht town were said to have greeted the Greeks with joy as many were near starvation.

 Hyde Park, N. Y, Nov. 22.-(UP) -PresiderE Roosevelt indicated to- day that Americas aid to Great Britain is approaching its maximum level on the basis of present na- tional capacity to produce weapons of war.
 He also disclosed that John J. Pershing, general of the armies, had been forced by physicians to reject an appointment as U. s. ambaSSa- dor to the French government at Vichy.
 MT. Roosevelt said at press con- ference that the United States is doing everything it can at the pres- ent time to send material aid to Britain to bolster its defenses in the death struggle with Na1 Ger many.
 By inference, he indicated that the 50-50 rule under which Britain will get one-half of the war ma- chimes rolling off American assem- ply mes represents Just about Americas maximum assistance un- der present circumstances.
 Speed Now at Limit
 Talk of additional aid on the basis of this country's present pro- duction capacities is no more than glittering generalities that mean ab- solutely nothing, MT. Roosevelt said. He told reporters that if they could show him a way of turning out planes any faster than they now are being produced, talk of more extensive aid might have some point. But he made 1t obvious that he personally, sees no likelihood of such developments at the present time, at least.

The con- mittee said his activities, and those of numerous German individuals and organizations, indicated that Germany's efforts in this country were not devoted soley toward propaganda and so-called military espionage, but also reflect the fact that the German government over a period of years has been engaged in the far-sighted policy of pene- trating into the economic structure and of this country and those of Central and South America"

 Much Harmony

 United Press Staff Correspondent New Orleans, Nov. 22-(UP)-The American Federation of Labor con- vention reconvened after holiday recess today with its harmony shat tered by fisticuffs over an anti racketeering resolution.
 Changed was the entire tenor of the convention which heretofore had been portrayed as a model of trades union unity as compared with the tumultous sessions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
 The first blow at AFL serenity was a fist fight between David Bubinsky president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, and Joseph Fay, vice president of the Interna- tional Union of Operating Engineers. They fought in the bar of the Roose- welt hotel, headquarters of the con- vention, and continued the battle in the lobby early Thursday morn ing.
 No one was marked. Dubinsky said a swollen lower lip for due to a
  cigar burr.
 Fay Is Bigger Man
 Eye-witnesses said that Fay told Dubinsky that Dubinsky's resolution to purge racketeefs from high AFL union places, was lousy" one and demanded that he withdraw it. He started swinging when Dubinsky or dered him to leave his table. The battle spilled into the lobby. Fay is considerably larger and heavier than Dubinsky.
 Hours later when tempers cooled, William Green, president of the Federation, said the altercation had been personal" one. Later, when

moving of dormant shrubs, the
pruning of roses and shrubs, the
care of the cold frame are some of
the jobs that can be done as soon as
weather permits.
Cold frames should be made ready
for use in early March. This job is
best gotten under way by repairing
the frames, getting the glass in
shape and the preparation of the
soil. OF course, if you looked after
this job last fall you can wait until
seed sowing time in early March.
But suppose you overlooked these
preparations. Then the frame will
need tightening to exclude chilling
drafts. The dirt will need to be
banked up around the frame; putty
the glass, replacing broken and
badly cracked pieces. The soil can
be mixed using sand, garden loam
and compost. Some of the Ameri-
can peats can be substituted for the
soil mixture with favorable results.
The pruning of roses may be
started in the more protected loca-
tions as early as March !, but I
prefer to wait until March Is. It
is not unusual to have freezes in
the outlying areas as late as the
first of April. The early Towering
deciduous shrubs, such as the spirea,
should be pruned after the flowers
have fallen. Late summer and fall
Towering shrubs, however, such as
the butterfly bush, the P. G.. hyd-
rangea and Grape myrtle. are pruned
now. The annual pruning of ever
greens may well be deferred until
the first of March, but make prep
aration for the job now by getting
out the shears and sharpening them.
The Grape myrtle and callicarpia
(beautyberry) benefit by drastic
pruning, as they produce their fiow-
ers and berries on new wood. Heavy
pruning and ample fertilization for
these two produce desirable results.
The Department of Agriculture
has recently issued a new bulletin
