mittee, to Republican complaints
that some of the farmer committees
which operate Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration programs had
been active politically.
The Agriculture Department
spokesman had been closeted for
two hours with Chairman Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa, Of the Senate
committee.
Mr.. Appleby told reporters that
the A. A. A. had attempted to elimi-
nate all politics in the Farm Admin
istration by requesting designations
of farmer committeeman who held
partisan political places or became
candidates for Office.
His lengthy conference with Sen
ator Gillette came after complaints
were made by Representative Hope
Republican, of Kansas, that attempts
had been made to obtain Demo
cratic campaign contributions
through the committees.
Complaints, Mr.. Appleby said, will
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-17

be looked into promptly by depart
ment investigators when specific
charges are made available by Hope
or by the Senate committee.
John M. Carmody, Federal Works
administrator, appeared before the
committee yesterday to reply to an
other complaint that pamphlet
had been printed at Government
expense and used by the Democratic
National Committee.
Senator Gillette said afterward
that Mr.. Carmody assumed full re-
sponsibility" for the publication and
testified that it had no political
purpose whatever" The Senator
quoted Mr.. Carmody as saying that
the pamphlet, Millions for De-
fense," was a factual presentation
of relief funds used for national de-
Tense, that copies had been sent to
members of Congress and that a
representative of the Democratic
National Committee requested and
| received 40 copies.

in Philadelphia that President
Roosevelt had spoken only of "ghost

defense in . radio address May 81.
Mr.. Willkie had said that he knew
large manufacturing company in
Michigan had orders for hundreds
of tanks, but had not yet built the
building in which they were to be

Brynes asserted Mr.. Willkie knew

presidential nominee accused the
administration of "pitiful ineffi-

CREEKS:
History Makers

Generations to come will find in
their history books the story Of the
defense of their nation by the Greek
armies under General Metaxas, who
continued their successes, though at
somewhat slower pace as they pro-
ceeded many miles into the difficult
Albanian terrain.
Study of military maps showed the
dangers. Of the Italian position, but
reports tended to show that although
badly beaten and knocked back on
their heels into Albanian territory,
the Italians were still planning to
make a fight of it.
Greeks were taking their victories
calmly, General Metaxas giving the
United States to understand that lit
tie Greece could not hope to Ego 1t
alone" but would need expanded
American aid in addition to liberal
help from British land forces and
airplanes.
The Grecian armies were fighting
a brilliant and vigorous campaign,
with much of the drive that goes
with repeated successes. Dramatic
sidelights were the fighting Of the
Macedonian women, who told how
they gathered on a mountain pla-
teau against orders Of Greek COM
manders and started avalanches Of
heavy rocks down on Italians
trapped in a ravine below them.
Another dramatic sidelight was
provided by the italian radio, which
broadcast a bitter denunciation Of
the Greeks for use Of the bayonet,
calling it "barbarous weapon"
Leslie Hore-B elisha, writing Of the
Greeks, said real test would be
reached when Italians reached the
coastal plain, where Fascist mech
anized equipment would get fairer
test. Greeks were promising to
make no stops in driving Italians
into the Adriatic.
