EQUIT
CONGRESS
REVIVED AS
WILLKIE FOR
PRESIDENT CLUB

NEW YORK CITY-The famous
Equity Congress, militant Negro or
ganization which fought to break
the grip of Tammany and Jimmy
Hines on Harlem, has been revived
as Willkie far President Club, Will
liam Eubanks, aged arch foe Of
Tammany, announced today at TIE
headquarters of the Associated Will
kie Cubs of America, 100 East 42nd
street, New York.
Our political organization is not
for the purpose Of having people
line up to get their dollar bill or to
lie sent Is the relief station said
Mr.. Eubanks. "We want to put
actual money into circulation by
supporting the candidate who will
make it possible for business to put
millions Of men and women back
to work. We feel that is the Ameri-
can way and it IS our duty as good
American citizens to fight for the
principles of our foreparents.
William Dubois, secretary, stated
there is a definite feeling in Harlem
that one can't borrow money forever
without paying back, like they are
trying to do in Washington" He
charged that the salaries paid in re-
lief jobs were pitiful in comparison
with what the Negro citizens would
receive in productive occupations.
lyon know you can't educate your
children on $3.50 per month nor
can you raise a family decently,' ne
added.
The Equity Congress was instru.
mental in securing the famous 369th
Infantry for Harlem together with
its Armory at 143rd Street and Len
OK Avenue and for many years has
campaigned for social and civic re.
forms in the Harlem area.

VICTORY 15 REPORTED
 FOR GREEKS
Mountain Fighters Said 10 Have Captured Thou
 sands of Italians
(By ASSOCIATED PRESs)

Frontier dispatches said today that Greek mountain fighters had entered the city of Koritza in AL bania and had captured thousands.
 Thirty thousand Italian troops under siege there are reported to be included in the seizure.
 If this is true it marks the first major victory in the Balkan con- flict presumably has disrupted the Italian supply route and the pro- 1 jected invasion of western Mace donia.
 Greeces high command said to- day that retreating Italian troops were being shelled by their own tanks as Greek warriors stormed and captured the hill Qualifications guarding Koritza.
 The Greeks declared their lines were holding firmly both ends of a hundred mile front despite the superiority of Italian arms and man power
 Mussolini's command reported the Fascist invasion forces had driven off Greek attacks between Lake Presba and the Kapestica Pass in the north after violent fighting
 Authoritative quarters in London said the Italians had not yet launched their main offensive against Greece but the real attack might be expected at any moment, probably on the Klamas river front above Icnnina in northwest Greece.

ALA5kA CALLED
 ELECTION TURN,
 SAYS GRUEN!NG
Governor Points to Terri fory's Score as U. 5.
 Vote Prediltor

Alaska has truly become the po- litical barometer of the nation, Gov Ernest Gruening declared today in a statement on yesterdays election as follows:
 Alaska has now definitely es- abolished it's right to proclaim As Alaska goes, so goes the Nation. For two successive elections, Maine, which since the William Henry Har- rison election just one hundred years ago has boasted that As Maine goes, so goes the Nation, has failed completely as a political bar ometer. In the last two Presidential campaigns. Maine, which votes on the first Monday after Labor Day, went Republican, while in Novem- Der the country went oVerwhelm- ingly Democratic.
 Contrast with this Alaska s strikingly prophetic voting on the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in September, that is to say the day after Maine votes. In 1892 Alaska elected a Territorial Legis- lature with Is Democrats and six Republicans, ratio of three to one. In November 1892, followed the first Roosevelt landslide with 42 out of 48 states. In 1886 Alaska did even better. In that year the Territory registered a mathematically exact prophecy, when the Territorial Leg islature with 23 Democrats and only one Republican forecast the ratio of 46 out of 48 states going Demo- cratic in November. Now for the third time, Alaska has called the turn The Territorial Legislature elected last September will have 2l Democrats and three Republicans a ratio of eight to one While final returns from few states are not complete at this writing, 1t seems clear that the ratio of Dem ocratic victory will vary somewhere between four to one and seven to one. In short, three successive AL askan Democratic landslides in Sep tember were followed by Demo- cratic landslides in the Nation in November,
 "Henceforth political prophets will do well to observe how Alaska goes for so will go the Nation"

Governors Party Back
 Fron, Haines
National Guardsmen Will Have En1ampment Next
 Fall Near ChiIk0Ot

Alaska National Guardsmen will have their annual two weeks en- eampment and maneuvers in the gtcinity of Chilkoot Barracks at Haines, probably sometime next fall. Governor Ernest Gruening declared oday.
 Governor Gruening returned to Juneau last night aboard the Light house tender Cedar after an in specticn trip to Haines with Alaska National Guard organizer Major Jesse E. Graham and Adiutant Gen. eral w. R Mulvihill. Mrs. Gruen- ing accompanied her husband on he trip.
 While in Haines, Governor Gruen- ng drcve to the end of the Chilkat Highway. which is the first leg of he projected Haines-Nabesna road recently proposed by Territorial Highway Engineer William Hesse.
 The Governor declared he is con- vinced the road plan suggested by Hesse has great merit and declared, T believe the road should be built at the earliest opportunity.
 But for Juneau's water link with Uncle Sans armed forces at Haines, Governor Gruening had little to say. His party was stormbound two days at Haines with fierce Lynn Canal winds making the trip back to Ju- neau even temporarily too severe for the Army tender Torrance.
 Major Graham and his aide, Ser geant H. H. Bond, are to leave to- day or tomorrow for Ketchikan on the Bureau of Fisheries vessel Brant in connection with eStab- lishment of home guard units in support of National Guardsmen pur- suant to the national policy of set ting up such units to serve locally in the event guardsnen of the na- ton unit are called into service. Governor Gruening will not accom- pany Major Graham.

Willkie Confers
 Willkie went into sudden con- ference with his advisors, in his hotel suite after receiving a series of adverse returns from the AsSo- ciated Press, but no indication was given as to the conference sub ject.
 PIuralities Grow
 As the election returns gave Roo- sevelt pluralities in 39 states carly this morning, Willkie doggedly re- fused to concede his opponent had won third term.
 Statistics showed Roosevelt was then ahead in states having 45l electoral votes and the Republican nominee was ahead in states with only 80 electoral votes. Winkie Stands Alone Despite Willkie's refusal to ut ter a word about defeat in his speech to his followers in his New York hotel a number of news papers supporting his candidacy had long since acknowledged Roosevelt was the only man in history to win a third term.
 Races are Dissolved
 As the night wore on and the dawn approached, one race after another resolved itself, led by the exciting New York battle from which the President emerged with more than one quarter of mil lion votes lead.
 Pennsylvania, Illinois, California Indiana, Massachusetts,, Ohio and even Oregon, home state of candi- date for Vice-President, Sen H. L McNary, apparently followed New York into the Roosevelt column.
 Willkie held the advantage iy New Jersey with 16 electoral votes Michigan with IT, and seven othe, states, Maine, Vermont and mid. west farm states.
 Indiana Shifts
 Indiana shifted early this morn ing to give Willkie a narrow leae in the state election and chang ing the electoral vote to possible 433 for Roosevelt and 98 for Willkie
 At this time with two-thirds O the popular vote counted, Roose welt has 18,585,O73 and Willkie l5, | 397,032.

Commissioners Post
To Remain Vacant

Not until the May primaries will
a commissioner be named to fill the
vacancy created by the death of
Commissioner George c. Cornwell
last week. This announcement was
made by the selecting board COM
posed of County Auditor Frank H.
Huffman, County Recorder Russell
Barnhill and Probate Judge Paul r.
Capell.
The board, in session recently, was
advised by the county board of cleo
tions that if they appointed COM
missioner, the Appointment would be
good only until the November eiec-
tion at which time a short-term COM
missioner would be chosen.
In solving the situation, the board
decided to let the appointment go to
the Democratic candidate who was
nominated with the highest number
of votes at the May primaries.
