BY FREDERICK KUH

LONDON, Nov. 2. (UP)-British
military informants, confirming re-
ports that British forces had land
ed on Greek islands, said today
that the Greeks had made a three
mile advance into Albania on the
Florina front and had thrown the
Italians back in the Pindus noun
tains to the south.
Authorities refused to amplify the
admission that British forces had
arrived on Greek soil to aid in the
fight against Italy.
1t was believed, however, that
Crete would be prime consldera-
ton in any British troop move
ments because of it's dominant po-
sition south of the Greek main
land at the entrance to the Aegean
sea.
(The Italian high command re-
ported today that Italian planes
had bombed disembarking troops at
Crete)
The Greeks made their advance
into Albania along the main road
from Fqorina into Albania, it was
said here, and were now in the
vicinity of the village of Bitolj.
In the Pindus mountain area, it
was said, the Greeks pushed back
the Italians in determined coun-
ter-attack. Following orders. Greek
outposts had retrsated about 10
miles in this area Thursday. They
got reinforcements.
Yesterday the strengthened Greeks
counter attacked, it was said. and
fought their way to the summit OF
the mountains which parallel the
frontier. 1t was admitted that they
had not reached the frontier.

British and axis aviators fought for

German planes, reinforced by
italian ones, stepped up the pace of
their attack and two air raid
alarms were sounded in London

morning daylight raids also in the
Liverpool area and near two north

CRUSADERS AGAINST
THE THIRD TERM
New York Herald Tribune)

AS the anti-third term sentiment crys-
talliZes, it is interesting to note the COM
pletely different types of persons who
are giving testimony against the third
term in the hearings being held in Wash
ington. Yesterday Oswald Garrison Vii
lard took the stand Although frequent
ly at odds with Mr.. ROOSEVELT some
times seems as if Mr.. Willard cannot be
happy except when dissenting-no one
can charge him with being personally
hostile to Mr. Roosevelt, or with being
a reactionary. On the previous day Pres
ident Wilson's onetime secretary of state,
Bainbridge Colby, had come out against
the third term. Mr.. Vance Mccormick,
also a close associate of Mr.. Wilson, had
earlier taken the same position. Only
last week Raymond Moley, original
'brain truster" under Mr.. Roosevelt.
made a vigorous and forceful attack on
the third-term bid.
The underlying arguments are, of
course, very similar. They were force
fully expressed by such distinguished
leaders as Jacob Gould Schurman and
John w. Davis, to name but two of many.
All have emphasized the Importance of
the two-term tradition as a stabilizing
factor in the American system. All have
decried the theory of the indispensable
the third-term movement. Mr. Willard
voiced the fear held by so many oppo-
ments of the third term when he said that
1.-The road to dictatorship is OPEN unless
the third term is repudiated once and for
all. Certainly prolonged perpetuation IN
the most powerful office in the nation
tends to concentrate actual power in the
hands of one man. Equally, certainly, the
theory that this one man is indispensable
is form of the Leadership principle"
which has been so effective in the early
stages of establishing relationships in
various European states.
To attempt to brush all of this aside
by asserting that Mr.. Roosevelt's inten-
tions are of the very best and that to
date he has not resorted to the harsh
measures of European dictators is to take
a short-sighted view of the problem. The
idea of the indispensable man, like the
theory of government by mandate, is in
itself destructive of the American sys-
tenn
