OF School R. 0. 7. {. Units
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The War Department, disclosing
that it had received numerous ap-
plications from colleges and high
schools for R. O. T. c. units, said
yesterday that 1t was probable" no
additional units Of the Reserve Off,
GERS Training Corps would be au-
thorized in the near future.
Because of the demands of the
expanding Army, it was explained
that neither officers nor trained en-
listed men could be spared for new
units or to expand existing organi-
cations. The opinion was expressed
in statement that 1t would be
"unwise to augment the r. o. T. G
until adequate provisions are made
for existing units"
Some of the 1876 Regular Army
officers on duty with the r. o. T. c
and others training the National
Guard and other organizations will
be transferred soon to fighting serv.
ices, 1t was noted. They will be
replaced by retired and Reserve

Cooper Appoints Defense Council
Mayor Makes
Appeal To
Citizens

In announcing the appoint.
ment yesterday of a Whining
ton Defense Council and 40 al.
lied subcommittee to prevent
chaotic conditions arising here
as the result of assured and
potential National Defense
projects in this section and to
build a greater Wilmington on
a sound and permanent basis,
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper is
sued the following statement:
Development of a great
army base only a few miles
from Wilmington is already
assured. Other great defense
projects near this city are like
~ to develop. These things will
mean much to the city and its
citizens. But they will also car
ry with them great response
bilities.
'"The city must be able to
cope with the tremendous in
flux of population and the
enormous increase in all &C
tivities that will inevitably &C.
company these defense activi-
ties.
"Cities which have been
caught unprepared for such
emergencies have been turned
into shambles. This must not
happen here. 1t is our duty as
loyal citizens of our communi-
ty to see that it does not hap
pen here. We must not permit
our city to become merely a
boom town. with all that inn
plies, today, and a ghost town.
with all that implies, tomorrow.
II therefore call upon every
loyal citizen of this communi-
ty to assist me and the other
city commissioners in prepar.
ing for the emergency that will
soon confront us. l have Sc
lected certain citizens to serve
in specialized capacities in the
planning that lies before us.
But there will be work for
every able man and woman in
the community. Those who
have not been requested to
serve in specialized capacities
are requested to offer their
services to the various COM
mittee heads, selecting the &C
tivities best suited to their tai
ents.
1--WE must not delude our
selves into thinking that the
situation will take care OF it
self as it arises. Other COM
munities have made the regret
table mistake of thinking this,
and the result was chaos.
"Let us profit by their ex-
ample.
"There is no time to lose.
"Let us go to work."

ITALIANS ASSERT
TACTICS CHANGED
Axis, Rome Says, Is Now
Waging Attrition War,
Not Blitzkrieg

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-R-The
Italian radio said today that the
Axis had shifted from blitzkrieg
tactics to a war of attrition. The
comment, heard by CHS, follows:
'"This is not a war which is be-
ing fought on n small front. 1t
is not a war which will be decided
by local successes. But it is a war
which is being fought On two con
tinents over the greatest warfront
the world has eve seen.
"The British started off better
prepared for a war of attrition
than the Axis. But since the col
lapse of the British allies, one
after the other, it is the Axis
which is better prepared for a
war of attrition. 1t is the Axis
which is getting stronger and
stronger in reserves and supplies
in relation to the British Empire.
"The Axis has proved to be more
versatile in methods of warfare,
being able to adapt itself to the
needs of the moment. Thus, we
have the blitzkrieg of some months
ago and now the wearing down
tactics of today.
"The Lion has lost it's claws
and it's teeth, and it is at the
mercy of the hunters who are
hacking holes in it's sides, from
which it's lifeblood is flowing"
