AS matter of fact we used to
see Betty Compson when we were
just a little boy, but we wouldn't
tell her If she feels this way. Nor
would We tell her that the Motion
Picture Almanac lists her birthday
as March 1s. 1897, because it would
be ungallant and besides who are
we to digress for a mere three
years.
Anyhow, Miss Compson has an
other complaint to make, this one
directed, not to the fans who saw
her when, but to the casting direc-
tors of Hollywood. She would like
to play lady.

BY REYNOLDS PACKARD
United Press staff Correspondent

Rome, Nov. 2 (U.P) - Italian
airplanes have bombed troops dis
embarking at the vitality important
island Of Crete, dominating the Ae-
gean Sea south of the Greek main
land, high command commune
que asserted today.
1t was not specified whether the
troops were Greek or British troops
sent from Egypt.
1t was believed that results OF the
bombing were excellent, the COM
munique said, adding that Italian
bombs struck some steamships in
the harbor and damaged port works
in the island.
A statement in the communique
that Italian trops were carrying
out an action in the Kalamas River
Valley in western Greece in the di-
rection of the key town of Janina,
and along the Pindo Heights, was
believed to mean that the Italians
on this front had embarked on

President Roosevelt appears TO
have slight edge In TIE state as
the campaign nears Its closing hours,
but Republicans claimed a late
trend To Willkie was gaining ground
for them. A Roosevelt margin Of
about 10000 on Tuesday has been
predicted by several observers.
Should the President carry the
state by that figure, election OF the
entire Democratic state ticket would
be almost certain, since 1t Is believed
that Public Works Commissioner
Robert A. Hurley, the Democratic
candidate, will be behind Mr.. Roose-
welt by $4,000 votes at the most and
perhaps by far smaller figure.
Democrats Ahead Here
Election OF all Democratic candi-
dates In Waterbury is generally pre-
dicted, unless there are wholesale
defections from the Democratic
ranks. The closest contest appears
TO be In the 18th senatorial dis
trict, but even here Attorney MI
chael v. Blansfield, Democratic
should have q comfortable margin
over Harold B. Post. Republican
q, o. p. leaders claim many Italian
votes In this district. and assert that

Senator Edward p. Egan figures TO
be reelected by a large majority In

Republican coalition which led to
the Joint nomination Of FRANKLIN
Barringer has failed to result In any
noticeable anti-Democratic trend,
Probate Judge Patrick Healey
Democrat, promises TO have SUBJ
