ascribed by Italian commentators
to bad weather, lack of roads and
Greek resistance.
Lack of roads in the Epirus Sec
tor probably is the major mill
tary factor in holding up the 1tal-
ian push. Mule trails r the nor
NAL mean of communication on
that front and %Ioannina Janina),
the first Italian major objective in
Epirus, is surrounded by a ter
rain so wild and rugged that the
Greek poet, Homer, depicted the
region as not only the bad lands"
of Greece. but as the probable
site of hades. In the 5000 years
since Homer's time neither high
ways nor railroads have substanti-
ally improved the terrain for
blitzkrieg military use.
The grim fight being made by
the Greek mountain troops where
they are familiar with every inch
of the ground, however, has much
tc do with Italian i'll success. 1t
does not seem possible that the
Greeks can, even with British air
force help, definitely halt the ltal-
ian drive in view of the numerical
and equipment odds against. Yet
they have already baked the Fas-
cist thrust long enough for the
British to establish themselves
firmly on the island of Crete.
May Aid Britain
1t took Russia from November
so, 1899, to March 10, 1910 to break
Finnish resistance on the Kareli-
ar isthmus. If the Greeks can
hold for only a fraction of that
time, it will afford Britain oppor-
tunity to set up naval and air
bases in southern Greece, thus ex-
tending British control of the east
ern Mediterranean and making
the status of the Italian army in
Egypt doubtful.
Successful Greek resistance
may explain the reported trip by
M~ussolini's No. l aide, Italian
Foreign Minister Ciano, to Berlin.
There is at least a possibility that
he is seeking Nazi aid, military or
diplomatic, to crack Down not
only on Greece, but also on other
Balkan states as yet uninvolved.
Berlin spokesman very prompt
ly discussed as made in Eng
land" widespread reports that Hit
Ter was preparing another peace
offensive" 1t seems probable,
however, that some Hitler gesture
was discussed in his recent con-
ference with Mussolini in Florence
and that the circumstances OF the
slowed down if not begged down
Italian attack in Greece have ne
cessitated a change of plan.
Obviously a Hitler peace move
now would seem in British and
world eyes a gesture of weakness.
With Germany stalled at the Eng
lish channel, Italy marking time
in Egypt and held up in Greece,
and the third member of the Axis
team, Japan, surrendering ground
to China, this seems hardly the
psychological moment for an Axis
"peace offensive" !

WASHINGTON May 6.-House Minority Leader Joseph Martin of Massachusetts denounced with singing words President Roose- velts proposal to transfer the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the Com merce Department.
 The New England Republican took special exception to the Chief Ex- ecutive's plan to abolish the Air Safety Board coincident with the projected transfer.
 Martin said the Presidents plan would set the entire aviation in- dustry back at least five years and would retard the National Defense Program. Martin called upon the House of Representatives to vote down MT. Roosevelt's recommen- dation. He said he was hopeful that prompt non-partisan action would defeat the proposal in the House and save the aviation indus try from what Martin called fur ther embarrassment and disruption at the hands of political bureaucra- cy."

LAST GHOST OF OLD SCHOOL OF AMERICAN DANDIES DIES:
 PICTURESQUE SOCIETY LEADER

MONTE CARLO, May 6. = E. Berry Wall, 30, New York-born, society leader who was one of the most picturesque figures of the continent for a quarter of a cen tury, died yesterday after an ill., ness of three days. He had been described as the very last ghost of the old school of dandies."
 Wall recently refused to be re- patriated because of the war and continued following the social sea- sons at the French watering places.
 E. Berry Wall, in dress n d manner, maintained throughout his life the tradition of the dandy which flourished in the nineteenth century and contributed largely to his fame as beau of internation- al society.
 Gay Clubman
 Once regarded as the best dressed man in New York, an acknowledged leader of society. he belonged to that generation of gay clubmen who raced sleighs to Central Park for a magnum of champagne, pa- tronized bouts under London prize ring rules and wore luxurious mus taches.
 When Fifth Avenue traffic, with the coming of the automobile, be- came too hurried for afternoon ap- pearances in carriages drawn by prancing thoroughbreds, he and Mrs. Wall, the former Lomie Mel bourn, went to Paris.
 In Europe, Walls dress lost none of it's dazzle and his dance step none of it's vitality. His unique waistcoats, violet spats, spread eagle collars and jaunty cravats had kept New York agog. He wore them to the last
 He made the acquaintance Of kings, visited world renowned re- sorts with the opening of their seasons each year and dined in the most fashionable restaurants.
 Leader in Turf Circles

 Associate Justices Robert and Me- Reynolds dissented, stating that the oil companies were ''in voluntary cooperative effort to remove evil competition and distress in gasoline" and said the resulting price was not unreasonable.

Hitler Is Sending Alpine Troops 10 Northern
 Part of Norway
(By ASSOCIATED PREss)

The British naval and land forces are reported tightening the siege on the beleaguered 5000 CT 4oO0 German soldiers in Narvik in des- perate effort to counter the loss of prestige suffered by the withdrawal from Southern and Central Norway.
 The British Admiralty announces the 1900 ton destroyer Afridi was sent to the bottom by German bombers while conveying allied troops out of Namsos. The Afridi carried a crew of 219 officers and men and was the forty seventh British naval loss since the war started.
 The British Air Ministry announc- es that two German bombers making an attack on a British convoy have been shot down.
 Dramatic Stuff
 Hitler has dramatically dispatched Alpine troops over a difficult 200 mile trek through almost impossible mountains in an attempt to aid the German force at .Narvik. The trek will be over a narrow country road, sometimes a mere path.
 The German High Command re- ports further blows against the Brit ish Navy and asserts that one battle ship was squarely hit off Narvik.
 German Claims Denied
 The British Admiralty denies of ficially the German claims made last Saturday that British battleshlp of 30000 tons and also a cruiser were sunk off Namsos.
 Berlin announces that troops sent' to Narvik are for the purpose of conducting mop-up campaign.

 Evander Berry Wall was born in 1860 in New York City, where his family had extensive real estate holdings for two generations before him.
 Wall had a brief business career AS a young man he opened the first brokerage house in uptown N W York, in the old Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and quickly lost more than s1 100000 in one of the stock mar ket panics, whereupon he decided to retire.
