A PEACE MARCH
Riverside PreSs

A march on Washington, proposed by
the National Maritime Union, a C1O or
ghnization, may sound thrilling to some
people but won't stand cold analysis very
we'll.
The idea is "a gigantic peoples march
from every large city in the United States
to halt the drive toward war; Frederick
n. Myers. field organizer, wants to call
conference and arrange for it immed-
lately. Prospective marcherS may change
their minds if they do little cool think
ing about 1t.
For one thing, it's a long way to Wash
ington from where most of the volunteers
live, and marching along concrete high
ways tends to very sore feet and weary
bodies. And then the standing around
after the army gets to Washington is very
trying on feet, backs and tempers. There
are million government employees there,
and they just shunt protesting delega-
tions around until the patriots are all
worn out and ready to hitch-hike back
home.
1t is much easier and simpler for peo-
pie wanting to give the government adj
vice to send it by mail. And such pro-
cedure gives them a chance to stay on
the job back home, thus making living
and helping their country rearm for self
defense And beside this, who ever heard
of march on Washington ever doing
any good.
This procedure most of us think, is the
best defense against war.

Hitler to Deliver
Answer f0FDR

BERLIN, Dec. 80. UP)- Usually
reliable non-official German quar-
ters understood today that Ger
many's answer TO President RooSe-
velt would come direct from Adolf
Hitler himself.
Whether the answer would come
in the form of a speech by Hitler
or in a Semi--official or author
led utterance along lines directed
by Hitler was not yet known.
Pending this answer G m II
authorized sources, in answer to
inquiries, refused any kind of COM
ment.
I'VE have no instructions and we
have absolutely no comment to
make on the speech" an informant
said. THE speech is regarded here
as Of such extreme Importance that
it can only be commented upon
after the highest quarters have
had time to study the complete text

Greeks Pound at
Both Ends of Line

ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 30 up -
Greeks pounded furiously TODAY at
both ends of the Albanian battle
line-Lin, on lake Oehrid in the
northeast and the Adriatic port of
Valona in the southwest.
Greek patrols were reported op-
Grating only half mile south of
Lin, on the eastern tip of the
"Soddu line guarding north Al
bania. A dispatch from Mary Mer-
lin, United Press correspondent in
the south coast sector, said Greeks
captured new positions below Logara
pass and that only one height re-
famed between the Greeks and Va
Iona, second largest Albanian port
The Greeks still had to storm the
pass, however, and the Italians
were said to have reinforced it
heavily and to have set up strong
gun positions and barbed wire en-
tanglements.
A government spokesman said
Greeks had made considerable adj
vances in the Mokra mountains
around Lin, but had not taken the
town yet

Axis Powers Put
Pressure on Japan

SHANGHAI, Dec. 80. (UP)-Re-
liable sources expressed belief today
that Germany is about to intensity
her war effort in the Pacific and
is encouraging a Japanese thrust
to the south, possibly involving
French Indo-China and Thailand.
Informed quarters said they
heard reports that Germany had
sought to assure Japan that suffi-
cient pressure will be brought upon
Russia in the west to protect Japan
from any Soviet stab in the back"
while engaged in the south Pacific
offensive.
One objective of the japanese
drive into Indo- China and Thail-

various ifs and butts. Then came
the first Ford contract.
On Nov. 6, when most people
were still counting election returns,
the War Department sent over to
the Defense Commission for clear
ance an award of $124000, 900
contract to Ford for airplane en-
gines. 1t was shortly followed by
earnest pleas from Secretary OF
War StimSon, Assistant Secretary
Patterson and Air Corps Chief
General Arnold.
In substance. those pleas amount
ed to this: England is in bad
way. She's got to have airplane
motors. There are no other avail
able facilities but those Ford has
Ford won't make motors for Eng
land but if he makes them for
us then others can be released for
British use. This is a special case
and it has just got to be okayed." :"
On these pleas, Hillman with
drew his opposition.
THEN CAME
SECOND CONTRACT
A short time later there came
through another Ford contract
this one S2,00O,OO0 affair for
lightweight trucks. scout cars, etc.
There was no British angle.
Final signature on this one was
delayed. while efforts were made
to work out a modus operandi
which would keep the immense
Ford facilities available to the gov

Dor that non-union employers were
