marine circles in Athens said
today that the Greek fleet would
engage in day and night ma
neuvers near Salonika from Oct.
% to Jan. ~
Today Italy was reported to have
suddenly suspended air service to
Greece until Nov. 4 under circum-
stances suggesting to some foreign
observers that the fascists were
thus setting a deadline for that
little country to end its friendship
with Britain and bow to the Axis.
Nothing was said officially about
the action-which had a certain
apparent parallel in the postpone
ment of Italian steamship sailings
shortly before the country entered
the war against France and Eng
land-but the Italian press many
times has stated that there must
be Identification" of the position
of Greece, and Turkey as well.
This gesture occurred almost ST.
simultaneously with a statement of
the official Rome radio that the
long expected major fascist often
sive in Egypt was imminent.
The North African army of Mar

radio, is now ready and fully pre-
pared to deal a final blow to the
British in Egypt. The blow will

In the press there appeared min

which were declared ready to the
last detail.
"Passive Aid"
On the diplomatic side, a source
who usually is reliable said that
an agreement under which France
would give passive aid" in the
war against Britain probably had
been reached in Adolf Hitler'S dis
cussions with French Chief of State
Philippe Petain.
France, this informant added,
might allow the Germans the use
of military bases and air fields in
that part of the Mediterranean
area which now is part of the oc.
cupied section.
The Italian high command Off.
cially reported that British war.
ships had shelled the fascist posi-.
tions near the Italian advance base
at Sidi Barrani, in Egypt, but as.
serted that no damage was done,
Effective Italian bombing raids
on British positions at Matruh,

ing to get this nation into war;"
Lewis, who supported President
Roosevelt in the 1886 election, said
in his radio address Friday night
that if Willkie was defeated he
would consider it a mo conf
dence" manifestation by the CLIO
membership and would give up
his leadership of the orga: ization.
Otherwise, the day Thought such
developments as these:
President Roosevelt decided def
initely to make a political address
in Boston next Wednesday in addi-
ton to one Monday night at New
York, then began a weekend of
speech-writing in the seclusion of
the White House.
Willkie campaigned again n t o
the New York City area, telling
crowds that I'VE are on the march
we are going to win. I promise
you we can't lose" Republican
headquarters announced that the
nominee had cancelled a r a d o
broadcast scheduled for last night
because of the complicated ma
ture" of his tour through New
York City boroughs.
Willkie had expressed pleasure
Friday night at receiving Lewis
support.
The Lewis expression brought
comment, too, from William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
The CLIO, he said, was torn
with dissension, divided political
" because it's leaders seek to
compel it to support a political
party" The ALL, he added, has
evolved and followed a n%on-parti-
san political policy"
Some Disagree
Some officials of the U nj te d
mine workers, foundation stone of
the CLIO organization, disagreed
with Lewis. Hugh V. Brown, presi-
dent of District Z, at Hazelton, Pa,
unit and one Of the big UNIV locals
said the district membership
would "go down the alley battling
for Roosevelt. On the other hand,
Ray Edmundson, Illinois district
president Of the UNIV, made pub
lie a resolution by 16 UNIV Off
Gals pledging support Of Lewis,
and a vigorous campaign against
a third term for President Roose-
welt.
Some other examples of the split
in the CLIO were:
The executive boaro of local COL
of the United Electrical, radio and
machine workers at the Pittsburgh
Westinghouse plant, which claims
to be the biggest Go local in the
country, voted to reject Lewis
plea for Willkie. Henry Johnson,
assistant national director of the
CIO clearinghouse workers organ
izing committee, announced that
officers and members of IA locals
had approved a resolution to

no British forces were damaged.
These we're the first attacks on

British sources said they were
effectively putting a big stumbling
block in the path of G%raziani's pro-
jected advance by blasting supply

though definite plans for this sum-

disease and insect control will have
been conducted this year by the
delaware experiment station. In
the meantime the committee and
the county agent will appreciate
any suggestions from growers as to
the type of summer meeting they
desire, for this proposed field day

worth while affair if properly plan
