Advanced Training
The proposed training center, when
established, he pointed out, would
feature activities primarily designed
for advanced and combined training
in arms. After recruits hi 'e finish.
ed their preliminary training at such
places as the barracks at Paris Is
Hand, s. c., he said, they would be
sent to the center for advanced trai1-
ing of large organized units and CON-
bined. training of all arms.
The board arrived Wednesday to
begin a preliminary survey OF the
Wilmington section to determine the
suitability of areas in this vicinity
for a training center. The board will
probably complete its work during
the weekend.
The present war situation has In.
creased the importance Of the de-
velopment of Naval bases and Marine
corps training units along the South
Atlantic coast.
With the increase Of the U. S.
Marine corps in officers and enlisted
strength, additional training facilities
are needed.

COOL TOWARD
PEACE PROSPECTS

nounced there would be no further
meetings"
"All I can say is that we hope for
the best" said Green, whose pre-.
vious assertion that Murray's success
sion to Lewis would mean nothing
so long as Lewis remained president
Of the CLOS powerful United Mine
Workers was re.echoed by AFL
Secretary.Treasurer George Meany.
Meany said after Murray had been
chosen: Well, that's still Lewis"
The challenge to the union leaders
almost quiescent until a three.
round fist fight and unabashed
charges of promise breaking explod-
ed in the convention - put them in
this position, Meany said:
IF they vote the AFL authority to
go into the unions to drive out
racketeers then they must yield the
long.established right which gave
unions alone the privilege of regulat-
ing their own affairs and cleaning
their own houses.
1.-The AFL leadership wants
racketeers driven out. The question
is: How to do it? There are two
things now before the convention,
both intended to stop r~acketeering,
but both pulling in the opposite d.
rections.
First: The resolution introduced
by David Dub1nsky, president of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers. This calls upon the convention
to give the AFL the power which
it now doesn't have to go into
unions and clean out gangsters.
This resolution suggests such
cleanup powers be given the execu-
tive council.
Second: The executive council
night now has a Recommendation be.
fore the convention to strip itself Of
the power to suspend a union. In the
same recommendation, Of course, Is
the provision that it be given the
right to suspend two unions. which
is intended to throw out any unions
involved in a dual movement against
the AFL within the ranks.
But the point is that II the execu.
tive council is stripped Of power to
suspend a union, which is the coun-
ellis supreme power and big stick,
how can it walk into a union and
clean it up?
"AFL unions have always been
autonomous, regulating their own az
fairs. That is one Of the rights they
consider sacred. they and their
leaders.
Were going to have to solve the
problem Of cleaning out racketeers
because among other things we wish
to retain the confidence Of the Amer.
lean public"

PERSHINC REFUSES
VlCHY ENVOY POST
Declines Appointment As Am
bassadOr To France Be-
cause Of Ill Health

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - Up
General John J. Pershing has declin.
ed an appointment as ambassador to
France on the advice of his physi-
clans, President Roosevelt announc'
ed at Hyde Park today, and it was
reported here that another choice al
ready had been made for a successor
to Ambassador William C. Bullitt.
The Presidents announcement that
he had offered the Vichy post to
General Pershing, an old World war
friend of the French chief of state,
Marshal PHILIPPE Petain, indicated
that he had decided to accept the
resignation Of Bullitt.
Bullitt submitted his resignation on
November Z, but said later the Presi.
dent had declined it. When he left
the White House again last Friday,
Bullitt said he still was ambassador
to France.
The name of Bullitt's successor,
which was believed to have been sub
mitted to the French government for
its approval, was not disclosed but
informed quarters limited that the
appointee was someone who had mol
been prominently mentioned for the
post.
It was reported tonight that Bullitt
also had declined the post as am
bassador to Great Britain but II
could not be learned whether Presi.
dent Roosevelt had made another
choice of a successor to Ambassador
Joseph P. Kennedy.
Anthony ]. Drexel Biddle, now am
bassador to Poland, was rated high
among those mentioned for the post.
Marshal Field Of New York also was
believed to be under consideration.
General Pershing's close friendship
with Marshal Petain was said tc
have been a strong factor in his
original selection for the Vichy post.
Pershing received a personal mes
sage from Petain on his eightieth
birthday a few months ago.

Chink in Armor

and extent Of the initial Italian de-
feat.
Chink in Armor
From the moment of Italian ell
try into the war, London advices
have been filled with indications
that Britain's war leaders saw op-
portunity in that development.
They have counted heavily on Ital-
ian public morale as a possible
chink in Axis armor.
What began just Is days ago as
a loudly trumpeted Italian victory
march into Greece, with only
Greek "rearguard resistance" to
be overcome, is now a virtually
complete Italian retreat, almost a
rout. Rome's explanation that the
Italian operations at Koritza in
volved only protective troops
cannot fool Italian readers who re-
call communicates of three weeks
ago. Nor can such readers fail to
realize that it is Italy's back, not
that Of Greece, which m be
broken unless Germany comes to
the aid of her Axis mate.
In a military sense, the fall OF
Koritza is less serious than a ST.
multaneous Italian retreat of as
yet unknown proportions in the
Epirus sector.
AS a result of that retreat, Italy s
primary base OF operations in Al
bahia, Argirocastro, is endangered
on the sea flank of the 10O-mile
battle line. Should it also fall or
even be closely invested by the
advancing Greeks, closeup bases
would be available for Greek-Brit-
ish air blasting at all Albanian
ports through which Fascist troops
and supplies ferried from Italy
must pass. That vital sea lane is
already under British naval as well
as air attack.
New Meaning
In face of the new Italian defeat
at Koritza, German pressure to
complete an Axis-aligned encircle-
ment of Yugoslavia takes on new
political and potential military
meaning. Berlin is busy drafting
Rumania and Bulgaria for service
in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Hungarian four-Way pact, presum-
ably in an effort to avert any pos
sible Yugoslavian swing toward
helping her Greek neighbor.
The Italians are reported already
to have stripped the Albanian-Yu-
s%goslavian border of troops to rein
force their front against Greece.
In doing so, Rome, relied on Ber-
I'm to overawe Yugoslavia with the
Balkan encirclement move.
Mussolini's plight is so serious
that Berlin's silence as to Italo-
Greek developments is becoming
significant. There are intimations
that Nazi diplomacy, despite the
object lesson Of the Molotoff-Hitle
conferences and the absorption OF
Hungary, has signally failed to i'm
press Turkey. A German march
via Bulgaria to Italy's rescue still
holds risks of Turkish counter in.
~tervention, distasteful to Berlin.
Yet Hitler's hand we'll may be
forced prematurely by collapse ol
the italian offensive against
Greece. Any serious indication Of
q popular revolt in Italy agains'
Mussolini or the Berlin-dominatee
Axis war strategy would be too
grave a situation for Hitler to ig
more. He must soon furnish NOR
substantial aid to Italy or risk al
internal disihtegration of thu
Rome-Berlin friendship.

 But after a month the draftee will be hard enough to leave his reception center and go either to the Regular Army or the National Guard for specialized training. In modern armies, specialists are the rule, not the exception. More than 1000 skills are required.
 The Army will find these skills with a punch card system. A mans Skills will be listed when he comes in After basic training, skills opposite holes in the cards will be run through a machine. It will automatically separate all the. skills, and men will be aS- signed accordingly.
 Truck drivers will probably go into tank corps. Photographers into the signal corps, photographic section, and so on. Even hobbies will be listed to sift out unusual skills.
