tives of five other branches of the

ond research course at the Fort
Belvoir Engineer School.

the doctrine and tactics developed

with those of the United States
Army and to try to improve on exist
ing engineering techniques.
The first of the research courses
the special course in assault opera
tions, which ended in December
investigated the methods Of the
German engineers whose featS in
speeding Hitler's armies were de-
scribed in detail through intelligence
service dispatches to the War De-
partment. The change in the mill
tary engineers function from aiding
passage of the army and retarding
the enemy to both combat and
facilitation of maneuvers was noted
in that course.
The new course has been planned
to insure that the engineer equip
ment and tactics of the United

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board, target of congressional inves-
tigation and attempted revision last
year. has instituted changes in its
administrative machinery, 1t was
learned today, for speedier handling
of Wagner Act violation cases.
Some of the changes in the board
procedure, forecast when DR.. Harry
A. Mills was named chairman to
succeed J. Warren Madden, were re-
ported to provide for greater super
vision over field stats and increased
authority for regional directors.
One board aide said "reorganiza-
ton" was too strong term to de-
scribe the procedural reflnements
being made, and added that the
board contemplated no ripping UP
the back" action.
Although refusing to make public
details of the changes, he said the
purpose was to tighten up" the
machinery to obtain a smoother flow
of business between the board and
! its field Offices.

Mccormack Demand! /!
Swift Passage Of

Hitler Is Wuging War
On Civilization

Swift passage of the administra-

ity Leader Mccormack, speaking last
night before the University of Chi
cagO Club here.
Representative Mccormack charged
Hitler was waging war against
religion, all creeds, and the civiliza-
ton we believe in
He told the university men the
lease-lend legislation had three OBJ
jectives: To keep the Nation out
of war now; to keep war away from
this hemisphere later on, and to
supplement American national de-
fenSe.
Mr.. Mccormack added:
1--WE hear the cry of dictatorship
advanced against this bill. We heard
the same cry from the same persons
was pending in Congress. That has
been the cry of the blind partisan
opponents and those who have hated
the President for the past eight
years = in their efforts to deceive
and mislead the people. 1t is neces-
sary that the people in these trying
days of danger be wary of the utter
ances of the false prophets of to-
day"
Representative Mccormack said
he hoped the Republican members
of Congress would not create a
partisan issue. He said opponents
of the legislation were combination
of many groups, some of whom
hate the President. some blind parti-
sans, some isolationists and some
who. through fear, close their eyes
to practical and realistic action
He warned against hair-splitting
on the provisions Of the bill. He
said it was a time for leadership
and action to assure peace and VIC
tory for the forces of decency.

buy British" rolled into the
grounds of the British Embassy yes

Halifax, the British Ambassador.
Today, the trailer, known as
"British Goods on Safari," drew up
in front of British War Relief
Headquarters at 1913 Connecticut
avenue, where it will remain a week
before continuing South.
A little sabotage and great deal
of cooperation have greeted the
trailer on its tour of the East So
far, Mrs Keith Bromley, who or
ganized the trailer idea with her
husband, an English businessman,
said today.
The sabotage occurred in Ard
more, Pa, where tissue paper was
thrust into the gas tank, clogging
the fuel lines. Elsewhere there has
been an occasional hiss, and in
Northampton. Mass, a man shook
an iron cross in the faces of the
three American society girls who are

iSt camps. BY day, they drive and
convey the idea that British goods
are still available. They have
driven through New Jersey, Con-
recticut. Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary
land.
Though their job primarily, said
Mrs. Bromley. is to urge Americans
to "buy British" they have sold
many of the tweeds. shoes, scarfs,
sweaters and pipes of Britain.
At a school for young girls, they
earned 1885 in a little over an hour.
In Tuxedo, N. Y, they sold 80 pairs
of So socks to one man.
Drawn by Rolls Royce limousine,
the trailer is 25 feet long with the
crest of the city of London on one
side and that of the Royal Air Force
on the other.

explained Mrs. Bromley, that Brit
ain must buy American planes.
That's why we carry the r. A. F.
crest"
During their stay here, the girls
will station their trailer at night
before the home and shop of James
Moss at 5840 Conduit road. Mr..
Moss is related to the proprietors OF
London shop destroyed in the air
raids.
The three girls are Miss Frances
NJ. Martin and Miss Marjorie Forbes
Ferguson, both of New York, and
Miss Katherine Lea Marshall, who
was born in Charlottesville, Va, and

Greeks Claim Capture
Of Mountain Range
North Of KIisura
Uncounted Arms Seized
In Heroic Attack,
Athens Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Feb. 3.-Greek shock
troops opposed by fresh Italian
forces were credited today with the
capture of an important mountain
range 10 miles long in their drive
north of Klisura into Central AL
bania.
A government spokesman asserted
the Greek attack yesterday was
really heroic" and netted uncount-
ed machine-guns, rifles and supplies
in the positions from which the
Italians were driven.
Most of the 270 prisoners taken
belonged to units rushed into the
Albanian fighting only last month
the spokesman declared.
These prisoners were said to have
increased to 300 the number of Ital-
ians taken captive in this sector
since Gen. Ugo Cavalerro took over
the Fascist command in Albania
January 13.
Rains Hamper Operations.
Shows which fell for weeks all
along the l00-mile battlefront have
been followed by heavy rains which
have an equally deterrent effect
upon operations, advices from the
front said.
The capture of the mountain
range, these reports said, was fol-
lowed today by a lull in which the
Greeks were reported to be conSoli-
dating their new positions and mop
ping up isolated pockets of resistance.
(Word from the Albanian
frontier reaching Bitolj, Yugo-
slavia. indicated last night that
the Greek advance was forcing
the Italians to withdraw from the
crossroads stronghold of Tepeleni,
10 miles west of Klisura, on the
principal highway to the port of
Valona Italians were said to be
burning the last of their supplies
which could not be removed from
the town.
Tried IL C0unterattacks.
The Greek spokesman said the
Italians tried IL counterattacks last
week in unsuccessful efforts to stop
the Greek thrust into Central Al
bania, and added:
The Italians, having been con-
vinced that counterattacks are in
effective and are costing heavy
losses, have renounced any further
attempts"
(The italian high command
said yesterday prisoners and
many arms" were captured in
one recent engagement on the
Albanian front, and that 200
Greeks were killed in one sector
in another battle)
Heavy artillery action by both
sides was reported farther west,
where the Greeks are attacking to-
ward Valona along a coastal road.
Port Attacked From Air.
The port was attacked again yes
terday from the air by British bomb
ers cooperating with the Greeks.
A Greek communque said ST civil
ians were killed and SO injured by
italian air raids on Greece during
the third month of the war, ended
January %, and that 160 homes
and so refugee huts were destroyed.
About 300 homes, five churches, four
hospitals and three schools were re-
ported damaged.

Life Insurance Builds
Morale. Helps Defense

more factories are given over
to defense work, we may not
be spending our money on
many of the things we are &C.
customed to spend it on.
What effect will this have on
the buying of life insurance?
What effect should it have?
1t is at times like this that
life insurance can render its
greatest service to the individ.
ual and to the nation.
And its contribution can be
twofold. Increased purchases of
life insurance would mean, of
course, larger reserve funds to
be placed in the conservative,
basic investments that underlie
production of all kinds. 1t would
promote the industrial activity
on which the wheels of defense
must roll.
1t would mean more than
that. 1t would mean another
powerful, solid support for the
nations morale-the morale
that Is born of a sense of secu-
rity, of the knowledge that
behind us stands personal and
family protection that we can
depend on, always, In our time
