Greeks Use Raid LuH
To Strenqthen Defenses

SALONIKA, Greece, Nov. 7 (P.-
Informed quarters today attributed
a reported slackening of Italian
warplane activity over Northern
Greece to the swift Greek Army
drive into Albania, which they said
demoralized Fascist communications,
coupled with British and Greek
bombing of italian airfelds.
The government used the lull to
strengthen anti-aircraft defenses.
Salonika had an air raid alarm at
$50 am, but the all-clear sounded
a few moments later without any
enemy planes being sighted.
Ironically, Italian guns will be
used to tighten the Greek defense
against air raiders. A whole train
load of captured anti-aircraft guns
and other war material arrived from
the front last night.
Fascist air attacks on cities in
Northern Greece were reported ex-
tremely light yesterday. This was
taken by Greeks as an indication
that British and Greek planes had
damaged Italian invasion bases
badly, while the Greek drive on
the ground to Koritza had rup-
tured the supply routes.
The military commander Of the
Sd Corps Area, meanwhile, issued
a decree listing series of offenses
against the security of the state. "
Those violating the decree were
made subject to court-martial with
out right of appeal.
Greeks continued to strengthen

ROME, Nov. 7 (P.-Italian divi-
sions have passed beyond the
KalamaS River in Western Greece,
the Italian high command reported
today. They had reached the stream
eight days ago in their drive from
Albania.
At the same time the high COM
mand reported a battle still con-
tinued in East Africa after fighting
was precipitated by British attack
on Italian positions at Gallabat.
Repealed by our garrison" the
communique said, 1.-The enemy suf-
fered considerable losses and later
resumed attacks. The action is still
underway.
"Our air force co-operated with
our troops in repeated attacks dur
ing which our fighters shot down
six enemy Gloster planes"
Italian planes yesterday bombed
and machine-gunned Greek defense
works along the highway from Kali
baki to Yanina Uoannina) in the
Phlorina zone and near Lake Presba
as well as other military detectives,
the high command said.
1t reported three enemy" planes
were shot down, one in Greece and
two in a Greek raid on the Valona
airfield in Albania.
The newspaper II Popolo di Roma
said yesterday that some dozens
of Italian submarines, operating
from an Atlantic base, are preying
upon British shipping side by side
with Germany'S U-boatS.

the President told the group that:
I'VE get back tomorrow, when, 1
think, there is to be party of some
neighbors of ours in city Of 600, 900
people, a city that I knew In the
old days in 1913. When I went
down there then Washington was a
small place, about 100000. 1t is an
interesting fact that today it is
three times as big.
"Prefers Hyde Park"
"When you get a chance" he
added to an accompaniment of
cheers, come down and see the
National Capital and, incidentally.
came in and see the White House
because you have got another four
years in which you know that your
neighbor is living in it. But can
also tell you I'd much rather live
here"

night followed relatively quiet day
at Hyde Park. Arising shortly after

than 100000 persons lined the route
to cheer the President.
When he reached the White House
members Of the staff there we're
awaiting him at the south entrance
of the mansion.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt entered the
White House, members of the i'm
mediate White House staff greeted
him and extended congratulations.
Shortly. before noon, he met the
members of the executive Office staff
shaking hands with each one.
Meanwhile, a crowd estimated at
about 1000 had gathered inside the
White House grounds in front of
the north entrance. Coming through
the Executive Mansion, the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt stepped into
the portico to wave and smile and
receive more cheers.
The crowds had begun gathering
early. Workers from the Districts
Traffic Bureau had labored all night
to set up cables and decorate the
streets with flags. All available po-
lice and firemen and units of the
National Guard had been called to
duty to handle the crowds. School
children and Government workers
in most departments were allowed to
report late this morning so they
could attend the reception.
The heaviest concentration of
citizens was in the Union Station
Plaza. Several thousand were stand
ing along the curbs by am. and by
$50 am. the police estimated that
$4,000 were in the area.

STAR WASHINGTON D. c. THURSDAY NOVEMBER

Roosevelt, For 1910 Club-Mrs. Helen
McChesney and Mrs. Arthur Claren-
don Smith-waited in front with a
bouquet of flowers which, incident
ally, they did not get an opportunity
to present to the President.
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs.
Harold Ickes and Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson were the first
cabinet members to arrive at the
station. They shivered by the side
of the track for an hour before the
presidential train pulled in.
1t was about 1855 am. before the
President appeared on the street
near the station. But the long cold
wait had not chilled the ardor Of
those who turned out to welcome
him.
Bands Along Route.
HawkerS of campaign buttons,
flags and Roosevelt" balloons took
what was perhaps their last OPP
portunity to get rid of their stocks.
The curbs were lined and every
vantage point occupied from the
station to the While House, with
dense concentrations on Capitol
Hill, the intersection of ConStitu-
ton and Pennsylvania avenues and
the midtown section of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The presidential party was SER
enaded by the Washington Gas
Light Co. Band, stationed in front
of the Standard Oil Co. Building on
Constitution avenue, and the Ma
tional Guard Band, in front Of the
Guard Armory on Pennsylvania
avenue.
Commissioner Hazen later issued
a statement, expressing his pleasure
over the turnout and his thanks to
those who aided. William D. Has
sett, assistant to White House Sec
rotary Stephen T. Early, said that
the President was deeply touched.
Pleased at Arrangements.
After two weeks of riding through
crowds that often became unruly
and pressed close to his automobile,
the President was described as being
particularly pleased at the manner
in which local police cleared Penn
sylvania avenue, but still gave the
people adequate space and oppor-
tunity to watch the automobile pro-
cession go by.
Before leaving Hyde Park for
Washington Mr.. Roosevelt made a
farewell talk to a torchlight pro-
cession of Hyde Park villagers who
came to see him off on his special
train. He told them he believed he
will be unable to make his Gus
tomary Thanksgiving vacation trip
to Warm Springs because of the
press Of business, but might subSti-
tute a few days at his Hyde Park
home.
Cheered at Hyde. Park.
The farewell demonstration by the
Duchess County neighbors of Mr..
Roosevelt was the third manifesto
ton Of their pleasure at his cleo
| tion-day successes, two parading
groups coming to his home election
night.
Last night they came to Hyde
Park station and were addressed by
the Chief Executive from the back
platform of his train.

had left for Washington before him

publican standard bearers.
The exchange between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Willkie was brief
almost to the point of curtness; that
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Senator
McNary more personal in tone.
At noon the President spoke
briefly and presided at conversions
laying ceremonies for the new Hyde
Park post office. He spent most
OF his afternoon reading other mes
sages and kilograms of congratula-
tons on his reelection, several
thousand pouring into Hyde Park
house during the day.

and menaced hundreds of miles of
Atlantic waters"
Other sections of the Fascist press
joined in praising the operations of
Italian submarines, taking their cue
from the authoritative editor, Vir-
ginio Gayda, who declared yesterday
the undersea craft have run the
Straits of Gibraltar and soon would
take over patrolling Britain'S vital
Atlantic trade routes.

Famous Lullaby
Composer Dies

BOSTON.-Eternal sleep came
Sunday to Mrs. Effie I. Canning
Carlton, about "a, whose slum-
berous melody to the long-loved
lullaby, "Rock-ABye Baby
brought the sandman to the bed
side of millions of babies-but
never to one Of her own.
In impoverished circumstances,
she died in Boston's city hospital
victim of a cerebral hemorrh-
age suffered several days ago
in room provided by the Amer
lean Society of Composers, Au-
thors and Publishers.
A former stage actress who
once toured the country with
William Gillette, she composed
the melody to the old Mother
Goose rhyme to lull to sleep the
restless baby of a neighbour
She took her composition to a
Boston music publisher at her
teachers urging and he snapped
it up as a find and popularized it
by permitting its use in a road
show.
He had the song copyrighted.
Within a few months, the sales
ran to $4,000, and before he died
several years later more than
100000 copies were sold.
Twice renewed, the copyright
was allowed to lapse when the
music publishing firm changed
hands. Investigating Mrs. Carl
toms finances shortly after she
went to the hospital, the Ameri-
can Society of Composers found
she had received few royalties
from the song. Massachusetts, con-
gressmen made several Attempts to
put through special legislation to
renew the copyright for Mrs.
Carlton.
