British reports that the Greeks

that troops were embarked from

TO land at coastal points controlled

Questions discussed include d
whether Washington would CON

effect Dec. 5. There was some
question whether il would 20 into

action of some kind. Another
question was whether the money
appropriated by the last legis-
lature to pay pensions under the
existing law could be used TO pay
them under the initiative.

MOUNTAIN WARS DIFFER

Whether two divisions are
enough depends on the number of
troops the Greeks can throw into
the fighting. The Greeks now are
on the offensive everywhere in
Albania, which normally should
require a three-to-one superiority
over the Italians.
In mountain warfare. however.
the ordinary rules Of tactics and
strategy do not always apply. Yet,
II would be reckless for the Greeks
to ignore them altogether in the
ardor of their present successes.
Here is an uncertain element in
the situation. The Greeks have
displayed admirable leadership and
exceptional valor to the present
time. They have shown both dar-
ing and caution as conditions have
changed The military problem
now facing them. however is more
difficult than the previous ones.

NO INCOME RESTRICTIONS
No income restrictions Will be placed on owners

GROUND RENTS; LOT SIZES, TAXES
Ground rents, 1T appears, Will be reasonable

maximum use of present utility, sewage and water
nections, lots cannot be large the hGlf acres
that some persons had hoped for Any unusually large
lots Will be rented in two segment square feet

square feet at hgher price per year md for few
number of years. Taxes Will be addition to the
ground rent and will depend Greenbe1t and county
assessments and rates. It is hoped that $40 per
month Will cover both ground rent and taxes.
RESTRICTIONS
Farm Security also made clear its attitude toward
restrictions. It Will pass upon the basic ground
plan of development, the exterior houses,
and the uses to Wtd oh the land Will be putt for

$500 per year for each family would produce in
of IS 400 compared to approximately 50, 900
which the present tax yields.
Other developments in connection with the dilemma
