The Coolidge examiner., 1940-03-14

One cannot help wondering
how, in a land as rich as ours,
we can have the cruelty to
provide for our retired work
ers at scale that would
scarcely keep a hound in dog
biscuits? Yet we do. And in
stead of hanging their heads
in shame, our governmental
leaders proclaim their pro-
gram as benefit to all,
model of generosity, an un-
mixed blessing.
The advocates of Social Securi
ty have no apparent conception oil
the need of social dividends fol
increased purchasing power. They
do not grasp the necessity of in
creasing buying capacity by such
means. For to seek these ends by
pensions of $40 or $40 or $50 a
month is absurd: it is an amount
suited to the age of poverty, not
of abundance, of the wheel bar

President Roosevelt returned to Washington before opening his final bid for a third term tomorrow = a speaking swing into New York state and Ohio.
 He speaks again this afternoon at Bethesda, Md, on the outskirts of Washington. He will be dedicating a S4,5O0, 900 National Health Institute and his speech was expected to be ncn-political. It will be carried on national radio network.
 He speaks at a political rally in the Academy of Music in Brooklyn Friday night. Saturday morning he will make defense inspection tours and brief talks in Syracuse and Buff falo, en route to Cleveland where he delivers his fifth political speech Saturday night.
 Joe Martin Attacked
 MT. Roosevelt singled Martin out for direct attack here last nigAt. He said Martin had voted against every farm measure recommended during the last seven and one-hah years by the New Deal, had voted against "'the public utility holding company act, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the National Securities Exchange Act, and the extension of the eco" Mr. Roosevelt said he voted against practically all relief and work re- lief measures, and against the ap- propriation for rural identification" :" The Republican leadership, he said, has engaged in political shen- anigans" with the national interest. Citing the Congressional Record, he said that only last year, "the Re- publicans in Congress were voting in favor of reducing appropriations for the army air corps" while charging now that he had failed to provide adequate aerial defenses. Congressional Republicans, he said, voted against the first agricu'A tural adjustment act, the soil con- servation and domestic allotment act; the second agricultural adjust ment act; parity payments to farm CTS this year and the stamp plan for distributing agricultural surplus to needy families.
 What kind of political shenani- gans are these?" asked MT. Roose- welt. Gan such people be trusted

Panto base. The capture and occu- patton of Lerokas, Cepgalonia and Zante Islands was predicted by ltal- ians.
 The German ambassador to Tur- key, Franz Won Pape, suddenly left for consultations with Hitler. Sig nificance of this move, which att tracted great attention in Turkey, was not clear. It was presumed, hoW- ever, to fit closely into the developing pattern of Axis operations in the eastern Mediterranean.
 Considerable British air activity an the Mediterranean-African sphere was admitted by the Italians. The British air pressure apparently was being applied to hamper Italian movements which might be coord- mated with the attack on Greece. The British bombed the Italian bases of Derna, Bomba, Tmimi, Gazala, El Gubbi, Tobruk, Fl Alden, Menastlr and Sollum.
 Greeks Repulse Drive
 Dispatches to the frontier today reported that Greek troops had re- pulsed Italian forces attacking the town of Melisopetra on the man road toward the important Greek town of Janina,
 :Ianina about 35 miles inside the Greek border, is the maln on- iectiye of the Italian drive due south from Albania into the western part of Greece.
 Messages received here reported also that the Italians had occupied the smal lGreek village Of Kastannl' several miles south of Konispoll.
 Konispoli is in Albania, and kas- tanini is across the frontier on the Greek coast opposite Corfu.
 One Italian detachment from the Albanian town of Kosorica, in the Konispoli district, crossed the boroer early this morning and attacked Kastanani, apparently taking part in the beginning of a general 1tailarl offensive into Greece. .,
 The Greeks resisted strongly, IL was reported, killing Il Italians ana wounding 30 others before they re- tired.
 Italians Withdraw
 Italian troops from the Albanian town of Mesarie were said to nave crossed over the frontier and ad- vanced on the main road toward .Janina. They attempted to cross the river Vyosa but were halted by GreeK artillery fire. After an hour ot nr- ing the Italians withdrew, having suffered losses reported as 17 killed and 40 wounded. Four Greeks were seriously injured.
 The main concentration of Italian troops along the Greek frontier was

i said to be at MeSarie.
 Weather along the front was said to be very bad. It was said to be hampering operations. Heavy can- nonading was audible on the Jugo- slavia border from the direction of the Albanian village of Bilista, near Prespa.
 Word reaching here was that addi- tional Albanian rebels from the re- gions of Peskopeia, Donia and Dibra yesterday joined Albanian rebel groups in the district of Muriditi.
 There were unconfirmed reports that Italian authorities had advised Rome that it was useles to attempt to mobilize northern Albanians into the army in view of the difficulties in south Albania where men called to the army fled to the mountains into hiding.
 King Fog in War
 King Fog, exiled monarch of AL bania, has extended his lone man war" against Italy to the Italo- Grecian front where his secret agents battle for Albanian freedom and his restoration.
 Reliable sources reported today that Fog hopes for Italian reverses in the war against the Greeks which will give him an opportunity to lead Albanians against Italy.
 Soon after Italy declared war on Great Britain, Fog was said to have placed himself at the service of the British government.
 Zog's associates claim that AL banian resistance to the Italian oc- cupation never has ceased. The king and his part American princess. Ger aldine, were forced to flee for their lives. The Albanian royal family came to England shortly after the fall of France.
 It was understood that the British foreign office has conferred with Fog since the start of the Italo-G -Grecian war but thus far British leaders have withheld any specific announcement of policy regarding Albania.
 Claim of AlbanianS
 Albanians claim that since the Italian occupation, liberals, StuoentS and professional men meet secretly in towns and villages, organizing re- sistance. They said that every time Italian authorities undertook. a new campaign of repression or terrorism written slips of paper were circulated among the people advising them how to resist.
 They claim to have received un- derground reports from Albanian sources loyal to Fog that serious n- cidents have occurred.
 Several months ago, these sources said, Hundreds" of Italians were killed when Albanians ambushed a Fascist motorized column in nar- row cut on the Kurja -Burrie noun tain road.
 There was no indication that King Fog would be allowed to establish an Albanian refuge caital here. It was said that Fog and the British are awaiting developments for an oppor- tune moment for practical collabo- ration"

 with national defense2"
 He answered with NO" and the audience roared, NO"
 Republican criticism of his rear mament program, he said, is belied by the facts.
 "The most inexcusable unpatri- otic misstatement of fact about our army" he said, "is the brazen charge that the men called to training will not be properly housed.
 "The plain fact is that construc- ton on army housing is far ahead of schedule omeet all present needs, and that by Jan. 5 next, there will be complete and adequate housing for 930,000 soldiers.
 Mothers, Fathers Assured
 q give assurance to the mothers and fathers of America that each and every one of their boys in training will be well housed and well fed. Throughout the one year of their training, there will be con- stant promotion of their health and well being.
 ~"And while I am talking to you mothers and fathers I give you one more assurance. I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again. Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars. The purpose of our defense is defense"
 To charges that land, sea and air forces are weak, MT. Roosevelt re- piled that the size of the regular army has more than doubled since Germany's invasion of Poland; the navy in 1940 is strong whereas 1t was weak and disorganized in 1885, the sale of military aircraft to Bri- tain is building up Americas capac- ity to produce aircraft on scale that soon will make this country the worlds greatest air power.

 Local boards prepared to mail out millions of questionnaires to take an accurate inventory of the man. power available for service, inolud- ing a census of dependents, a sur- vey of the physical standards, and other information.
 May Not Call Any
 Draft Director Clarence A. Dyk- stra said it probably would not be necessary to call any men this year whose numbers were drawn after 5000 had been picked from the goldfish bowl. It may be, he said that those whose numbers were read after the 15OOth drawing will not be called. That will depend up- on the number who qualify fol service from among those numbers drawn first.
 Local boards will start mailing out questionnaires as soon as they have received the official list. Ever if a mans number was drawn last and he wishes to volunteer, officials reiterated, he may do so. If he car qualify physically, he will be ac. cepted, moved to the head of the lis and the local areas draft quota vii be reduced correspondingly. Besides the 30.00o to be put il training November IS, there will bl later calls for 60,000 on Decembel 2; for 60,000 on January 3; for 90,. 900 on January 15; for 160,000 or February 10; and for two contin. gents of 100000 each on March and June 15.

 New England became the first corps area in the United States tc receive its call for prospective train ees when Major General James A Woodruff, corps area commander wrote the six governors that theil states quotas would be:
 Massachusetts-532. Connecticut-219. 1
 Rhode ISland-81.
 Maine-80.
 New Hampshire-41.
 Vermont-31.
 In his "requisition No. 1" Genera Woodruff wrote that these mer would serve during "the induction period effective November 18" sub. ject to adequate provisions fol shelter, sanitary facilities, watel supplies, heating and lighting ar. arrangements, medical care and hos pital accommodations"

 (The Athens censor repeatedly in- terrupted telephone conversations when the United Press correspon- dfent at Athens attempted to give details of military or naval move ments, especially by the British Previously, messages from Athens had indicated that neither British nor Italian forces had landed al Corfu but. that the British navy and possibly British airplanes had gone into action elsewhere.)
 Operations on Wednesday, the high command said, were on several sectors along the Epirus front after defense troops retired ''in conform ity with plans already drawn up.'
 Taking up new positions. the Greeks turned back several Fascist columns all day "by heavy fire" from entrenched mountain positions.
 Other fronts were reported quiet, but the high command said that guerilla bands were operating with the enemy, apparently referring to Albanian or other mountain irregu- lars.
 Enemy aviation indiscriminately bombed the town of Patras and ma chine-gunned inhabitants" the high command charged.
 "A few houses were wrecked.
 "Rio and Navpaktos, both open towns without military importance, were bombed. At Navpaktos a school house was demolished"

 Sending out of questionnaires by the four local boards will be delayed until after master lists have been received from Hartford. The local lists will then be arranged by order numbers, and l ater alphabetical indexes will be made. The master lists are expected to arrive here in a few days.
 First Call Awaited
 Early announcement is expected of the quotas in the various districts about the state for the first call. With only 219 to be taken from 65 districts, each of the local districts will probably have a first quota ot only from three to five.
 Major Peter E. Fox, board chair man in District 15-A, said today that already five young men in his district have asked to volunteer. Their names are being taken pend- ing the arrival of full instructions on the handling of the applications of would-be volunteers. Major Fox said he believed that there would be more than enough volunteers to fill the November quotas for all four local boards.
 The first men who are drafted, 1. whether in November or later, will be taken from the following froup, which had the lowest order num- berS:
 Philip R. Napolitano, PAS Berkeley avenue; James F. Overton, 25 Rob- bins street; Thomas Richard Claf- fey, 52 Washington street; John B. Slavin, 129 Southmayd road; John R.

 ualties, and on the Vyosa river where the Fascists fell back after losing IA dead 40 wounded0
 In addition to the military. opera tions reported this morning, the war brought these developments:
 1-Italian airpianes again bombed Greek communications centers, in cluding Patras, Navpaktos (Where a woman and eight men were killed) and other points.
 2-The government of Premier John Metaxas ordered strict precau- tions against flfth-columnist activi- ties. (Reportc in the Balkans had suggested that Germany might bring pressure on Turkey or Jugo- slavia to attempt a peaceful settle ment of the Italian Greek war, with a view to bringing a pro-Axis gov- ernment to power in Greece and possibly putting Prince Paul, brother of King George, on the throne)
 3 = Telephonic communication with Berlin was cut of and rela- tions with Germany were described as extremely delicate.
 A spokesman at the German le- gation said that it was believed the military situation involving Greece would be left in the hands of Italy, indicating that there was no imme- diate threat of diplomatic break between Germany and Greece.
 It was admitted that the situa- tion between Germany and Greece is delicate" but both sides appeared eager to avoid a break and Ger man spokesman suggested that the Nazis had advised Italy against bombardment of the historic city of Athens. So far there have been no German demonstrations here.
 800 Germans in Athens. There are about 800 Germans in Athens and 2,000 in Greece, in ad- dition to number 10 German tourists"
 The air raid alarm sounded in Athens again late in the afternoon and the streets were quickly cleared of pedestrians. The people were encouraged, however. by reports of Greek air attacks on the invading Italians.
 Light bombers from the Greek air force were reported today to have attacked Italian invaders of Greece, bombing Italian supply columns and striking at their marching troops inside Greece.
 Informed military quarters said | that the Greek planes had attacked 1 for the first time Italian columns on the coast road along the Ionian Sea and it was claimed that they had struck also at Italians attempt ing to advance up the Kalmas val ley toward Janina.
 Italian supply bases behind the fighting fires, especially in the Mertzani district, were said to have been bombed and it was reported that at several points the Greek air force wa5 making every effort to hamper Italian military movements.
 Greeks Cling StubbOrnly
 Although Italian aerial operations appeared to be increasing with new attacks on Patras and Navpaktos, | the high command said that the Greek defense forces had clung stubbornly to their positions near the frontier during A hours of sporadic fighting.
 1 Previously, it was admitted, the Greeks had fallen back slightly in line with the scheme of operations planned by the high command in the mountainous frontier area.
 The slowness of the Italian attack as well as the oficially announced aid being given by the British navy, which was reported to have landed forces on Greek Isles, encouraged the Greek people and there was a general rush Of volunteers to the

 In her petition for leniency Mrs. Browder asked that Jackson take into consideration her three sons and the fact that her husband is an American citizen.
 Jackson held that the present record was wholly inadequate" to warrant the granting of leniency under the section of the immigra- tion act which allows such action when deportation would result in serious economic detriment to a citizen or legally resident alien who is the spouse, parent or minor child of the deportable alien"
 He said she could seek a new hearing if she presents new evil dence to "dissipate the doubts in- duced by the present record"
