THE Struma, as the Ger. -A mans are finding out, is not n very good road to war. The hills rise from the mar. row valley close by the river, see above picture. The Ger mans alternate route toward Salonika Is down the Vardar valley. If, by driving through Jugoslavia, they can get to that valley, they can also cut the railroad connecting the Greeks with their Jugoslav allies and take the important town of Skoplje, pictured at the left. The Vardar valley is much broader than that of the Struma, would be difficult for Greeks and British to de. fend.

Of communities where newspapers supported wendell L. Willkie, @ per cent voted for the Republican candidate. Where newspapers srp- ported President Roosevelt, 0S per cent of the communities voted for the President.
 \ The poll disclosed that 56 per cent of the newspapers supported Will. kie, 20 per cent MT. Roosevelt, and 16 per cent neither. Where the newspapers supported neither, 73 per cent of the communities went for the President and 27 per cent for Willkie. "
 Of the 1,201 communities, the Journal said, 57.8 per cent (694r voted for President Roosevelt, 42.2 per cent (50D for Willkie.
 Further Statistics
 The Journal further reported: ~
 In cities under 5000 population, 85 per cent of the communities gave majority for the candidate their newspaper supported.
 Tn cities of 5000 to 10000, the per- centage was 81; 10000 to 25,000, 78; %, 900 to 50000, Il; 50000 to 100000, 78, and over 100000, 48. z
 GAS was anticipated" the Journal said, "the relation of the 19e0 presidential election result to news paper prefernce, applying what we feel is the proper yardstick, is just about the reverse of what generally has been accepted.
 "A study of the returns indicates that similar survey of the 193d election would have been even more favorable to newspapers because the third term issue caused a number of publications to support W'llkie in virtually unalterable Roosevelt territory. For example, of the 6o Texas newspapers replying, l3 sup- ported Willkie but their cornnut1i- ties, of course. went for Roosevelt.SS
 Tn its letter to editors accompany- Ing the questionnaire, the Journal remarked that "this should reduce the point to It's proper unimpar.- tance."

Hurts Small Investors,
ConneIy Says
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Oct. president En-
NETT F. Connely of the Investment
Bankers Association of America de-
clared today the new S. E. C. regula-
ton requiring competitive bidding
for public utility securities was "a
ruling not in the public interest"
Thousands of small investors are
being deprived of the opportunity to
hold high-grade investment securi-
ties through this Securities and Ex-
change Commission rule, Connely
added in speech prepared for the
36th annual meeting of the Amer
lean Life Convention.
He characterized the recent sale of
a 500, 600 900 American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. bond issue to three
big insurance companies as "a great
mistake" and said L think it was a
short t-sighted policy On the part Of
the insurance companies"
Recent history abroad, Connely. a
Detroit investment banker, said, lis
adequate proof that when private in
vestment banking is eliminated pri-
vate enterprise dies"
Connely referred to the purchase
by one insurance company of an en-
tire issue OF New York State Gas &
Electric bonds and said:
The old securities refunded by
the company we're held by 80 differ
ent insurance companies That sim
ply meant that 98 insurance com
panies had their bonds called with
no chance to replace them. Thir-
teen million dollars of the bonds
| called had been sold as recently as
1889 and had originally been dis
tributed in 81 States.
so in addition to insurance
companies here represented, many
many investors of other types were
/ deprived of their right to reinvest
their savings in the new securities
