Albania Presses
Drive for Greek
Border territory
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

TIRANA, ALBANIA, Aug. %
(UP) The Albanian press flared
with new attacks on Greece today
and charged that Greek prisons on
the Albanian-Greek frontier are
jammed with kidnapped Albanians.
The authoritative Tomori of tt
rama charged that Selim Skiakn, an
outstanding Albanian intellectual,
had been kidnapped by Greek gend-
armeS and taken across the border
to Greek prison.
1t also was charged that the pri-
sons of Janina and other points
close to the frontier we're packed
with Albanians who had been kid
naped either inside Albania or in
the Greek Province of Ciamuria.
1t appeared that the Albanian
campaign against Greece is taking
a course similar to that of Italy
against France prior to Italian dec
laration OF war.
My impression after a tour of
the country and talks with both
Albanian and Italian officials is
that a military solution will not
be attempted until diplomatic ef-
forts have broken down. And there
is no question that the situation
is still in the diplomatic phase.
The minimum demand of the AL
banians against Greece appears to
be for annexation of the Ciamuria
region. The maximum demands are
for Ciamuria plus Corfu and
Epirus.

This element is doing all it can
to hold up the progress of the pro-
gram" Kelley said. They have
sought to delay bills now before
congress concerning conscription
and orders already placed for ma

Orders for arm equipment have
been pigeon-holed in Washington,

the national official charge.

This trio of young ladies brings
fou latest versions of three classic
schoolgirl fashions-the jumper,
the princess and the dirndl. No
matter what you might spend on

simple frocks that you can so easily
and inexpensively turn out your
sef at home, guided by the step-by-
step sew chart that comes with

This dart-fltted jumper with
square neckline and wide shoulder
straps, reproduces for you, in an in
expensive pattern, one of the new

for its sole trimming, it looks sim
ply adorable on girls anywhere and
everywhere between size 8 and size
16. Make the jumper and bolero of
wool crepe, flannel or jersey, in
navy, brown or dark red. And make
two or three blouses of batiste, silk
crepe, pique or linen to wear with
them.
The slim, smooth lines of the prin-
cess are charming on immature and
rounded figures-they can wear it
almost better than any one else,
especially when its made so simply
and youthfully as in 1232-B. This
will be a joy to get into in the morn
ings, too, when there's so little time
to get dressed-just slips on in a
jiffy and buttons down the front.
And with two or three different
collar -and-cuff sets you can make
it look fresh and different, from day
to day. Make 1t up now In school
cottons like gingham or chambray,
and later in wool crepe, flannel or
