learned today. Mills nom-

to the Senate for confirmation on
the eve Of conventions Of the Amer

Quick reaction from those two groups
Is expected.
The Senate meets tomorrow, when
II will recess until Monday - the
day that the AFL and CIO con-

the appointment by the Senate
Labor Committee.
Succeeds Madden
Mills would succeed j. Warren
Madden, whose term expired last
August.
Maddens reappointment had
been opposed by the ALL, and some
employer groups, and he had been
criticized by the Special House
NLRB Investigating Committee.
Mills, 67-year-old native of
Paoli, Ind, has had long experience
in collective bargaining. He served
on the old National Labor Relations
Board in 1884 and 1885.

Athens, Greece, Nov. 14.-(UP)-
The war ministry said today that
Greek troops, hopping up lost and
aimlessly wandering italian units in
the Pindus mountains, had adj

several important heights.
Hundreds of italian prisoners

News of the destruction of Ital-
ian warships at laramie by British
airplanes caused wild rejoicing here
and Greeks hoped that this victory,
together with the Greek successes
against italian ground forces, would
encourage Jugoslavia to defy the
Axis powers.
Semblance of an Army
According to today's communique,
the Italians still had the semblance
Of an army in the Pindus, or CEN

snipers were cutting of whole
squads.
In the south, along the Kalamas
river, the Greeks were reported
making local attacks without con-
certed resistance. In the north,
along the Jugoslav border, the
Greeks were strongly entrenched
and the sector was reported gener-
ally quiet.

Strangely, Congress ignored
these straws in the wind, starved
out aviation. But the pioneers
who followed Wright made pro-
gress anyway. Our army filters
mounted the first machine gun
on an airplane, dropped the first
explosive bomb from an aircraft,
put the first radio in a plane.
And they died like flies, just
as civil pilots were dying. Or
vile Wright felt the terrible toll
was due primarily to that scourge
of the air-the stall. So he went
up one day, knowing if he failed,
he'd never live to tell the tale.
He climbed until the plane al
most lost momentum-the point
of the stall
But Orville Wright suddenly
dived his ship. AS he expected,
he was able to snatch back the
momentum; then he pulled out.
The stall had been solved.
Thus Orville Wright in 1912
gave the airplane its first i'm
portant factor of safety for the
prudent pilot and its second great
push toward the day when it
would come into its own.
