London Says 1t Will Pass
Germany In Aircraft,
Guns In Six Months

LONDON, Nov. A. Up Aerial
blows at the Axis from Kiel to Ma
pies were reported by the British
air ministry today, along with an Oh
fetal forecast that 'in another six
months Britain will have passed
Germany in aircraft, ships and
guns"
With the empires achievement of
armament superiority, said Minister
of Labor Ernest Bevin, the ugly
Nazi regime will crumble UP in Adolf
Hitler's hands"
The British bombed Naples again
last night, driving through low
clouds and anti-aircraft fire to ain
explosives on the oil tanks of the
free customs district of Poggloreale
and close to the industrial ports
main railway station, the air min
istry said.
For seventy minutes another
group of Raj bombers flew over the
German naval base at kiel. Earlier
Sunday, British planes operating IN
daylight attacked Flushing, Holland,
and the airdrome at Soesterberg.

Mr.. Roosevelt said that a free
election was of no use to the man
too Indifferent to vote.
I'm every political campaign" he
asserted "the question on which we
all finally pass judgment through the
ballot box is simply this: who do 1

senator, or mayor, or supervisor or

last time here on Market street on
the eve of an election"
It was the last of a series of talks
made during the day to his Hudson
valley "neighbors," whom he had
visited on a 80 mile Sentimental
journey" by motor. Along the way,
he had told them he was visiting for
the last time as a candidate for
office"
In the statement issued before he
went before the microphone, at Hyde
Park, the President had given his
thanks to those Who had worked
for the election of democratic candi-
dates.
There is nothing PARTISAN" he
added, Gin the sense of gratitude
which I fell toward those who have
which I feel toward those who have
scented by the peoples government.
GAS the campaign closes I have
a deepened conviction that the prin-
ciples for which we are fighting
transcend partisanship. They in
volve the principles of true Amer
icanism and the democratic way of
life"
Denounces Circular
In still another statement, Mr..
Roosevelt had denounced as an 'un-
ethical and deliberate misrepresenta-
ton of fact" a declaration in a cir
cular which he said had been dis
tributed to state and municipal en-
ployees, that a bill pending in con
gress would deprive these workers
Of their pensions.
He compared it to what he said
was "the last minute effort in 1886
to scare the employees as to the valid
ity Of their social insurance."
THAT failed-this will fail' he de-
clared.
The President stated categorically
that mo federal law will threaten or
endanger the pensions of employees
of any state or political subdivision
thereof"
Then, later on, in the quiet of his
Hyde Park study, he contrasted the
lives of free Americans with those
of people who had gone under
ground abroad because on some of
their homes bombs of destruction.

WILLKIE MAKES
FINAL APPEALS
TO u. S. VOTERS
Continued From Page One)

L.. McNary also spoke on the pro-
| gram.
The passages deleted by Willkie in
cluded the nominees declaration that
he had asked President Roosevelt
questions about defense, federal debt
and unemployment which had not
been answered.
Drafts Final Talks
Willkie remained all afternoon and
evening at his personal headquarters
in the Hotel Commodore in order to
draft his final speeches.
In his m%id-evening talk, he said
that it was a false and dangerous"
argument to contend that the two
term tradition should be violated ION
the grounds that we are faced with
an international crisis"
"To thrust aside that tradition is
to sun that only one man has the
ability to take us through recurring
emergencies" Willkie CONTINUED.
THAT means that democracy must
surrender in the face of trouble"
The nominee asked his listeners
not to vote 'the way someone tells
you to Vote and added: Don't let
anyone high pressure you. If democ-
racy is to live in America, you must
vote the way you believe. I say this
to you no matter which way you may
choose to vote"
Thanks Democrats
Willkie thanked democrats who
were supporting him, saying: Your
W party has been kidnapped by a
few men who have accumulated too
much personal power .. We believe
in the two party system. In Joining
with US to fight the New Deal kid
napers, you are strengthening your
own party by preserving your
form Of government"
The nominee said he had asked
numerous questions of President
Roosevelt but that they had not been
answered.
Among his queries, Willkie said,
were why the President had run up
a large federal debt, why the admin
~istration had failed to prepare to
defend u.s. and why 5000, 600 per-
sons were still out of work.
Those are just a few of the mat
ters about which a seeker for I'M
p~recedented power should tell the
people, he added.
Willkie declared he was closing
the campaign without bitterness
and added there is no place for bit
%terness or hate in America"
ESPECIALLY during the last few
days" he asserted, "the opposition
seeking to obscure the issues, has at
tackled me with smear campaign de-
signed to make you question my rec
ord and my motives. I have answered

concluding the broadcast, Willkie
said in a prepared talk that he had
been deeply moved by the loyalty
OF my fellow crusaders, and their
faith in the cause for which have
been fighting.
I want to ask you on this election
day to remember only one thing: this
Is not the end of our crusade-this
is the beginning. United we stand,
divided we fall. Let us be once again
a nation united"
Willkie said earlier in the program
that if he were elected I'VE will start

tion-to return to the things hat
our God-fearing fathers held dear
est: hard work, thrift, charity,
honesty, and above all, peace

GREEKS ATTACKED
BY ITALIAN PLANES

The brief report to the official
italian news agency said that Ital-
ian planes continued hammering
Greek positions along the mountain
GUS country.
Trains carrying military equip
ment, batteries, and Greek trenches
were reported hit by bombs.
The planes bombed Greek troops
concentrations in villages as we'll as
turning their machine guns on them.
the report said.
Hardy Greek resistance, a poor ter
rain and unfavorable weather were
cited by Stefani, as reasons for the
failure Of the fascist army to get far
beyond the Albanian frontier into
Greece.
While the high command declared
the drive down the road to Ioannina,
in northwestern Greece, was going
forward with the support of bombing
s%quadrons, Stefani acknowledged
that the expected lightning warfare
had not vet materialized.
The Italian advance failed to &C.
quire lightning rhythm because of
bad weather prevailing in the re-
gion for several days and because
of the lack Of roads" n of the
agency's correspondents wrote.
THE terrain permits the use of
only n route for the advance to-
ward the east and another toward
the west. These roads until today
were swampy strips interrupted here
and there by dynamite mines ex-
ploded by the Greek real guard"
The Greeks, he declared, have
been armed with British and French
artillery, rifles, ammunition and air
planes, but argued that they were
no match for the Italians in organi-
cation and that it was ridiculous"
to believe they could hold out.

usual on election days, the county
ABC stores will not open.
H. M. Roland, superintendent OF
county schools, said last night that
because a great many Of the school
buildings are used for voting pur-
poses that it was decided to close
the schools. The decision was
made last spring, he said, and
the election day date was set as
one of the regular school holidays
for the county.
Yesterday and last night local
| political workers got - their last
ticks for the candidates of their
choice.
Harmon Rorison, Wilmington
banker, was issued a permit by
the city to distribute handbills over
the city by airplane and later in
the day a plane flew over flooding
the city with handbills urging the
election of Wendell Willkie as
President.
Last night Mrs. John T. Hog
gard, vice-chairman of the county
democratic executive committee,
issued an appeal to all qualified
voters to vote today. She directed
her appeal primarily to women
voters, declaring she hoped New
Hanover will set a recor1 in femi-
nine suffrage in this election.
She said that any person lack
ing transportation to the polls may
secure it by callig her telephone
-7702-any time during the day.
H. G. Carney, chairman of the
county elections board, said last
night that everything is in readi-
ness for the vote today. He urged
that all polling officials bring in
their returns as early as possible
SO that the county's results may
be tabulated early.
Carney pointed out hat to vote
a straight ticket the voter need
only mark in the circle beneath
the name of the party of he
candidates which he wishes to sup
port. However, if the voter wishes
to vote a split ticket he must mark
the name of every person for
whom he wishes to vote. 3
Although there are a number OF
state contests and local contests
for election, the main issue for
New Hanover county today is who
will be elected president-Wendell
Willkie or Franklin D. Roosevelt.
