At a time when Selective Service
was Tightening up on farm defer

culture reported that farm workers
as of April l totaled 5000, 900, or
about 228, 900 less than a year ago.
With a better organized farm la
Dor program and seasonal help from
volunteer workers, however, the
USDA expected rural America to
meet this years expanded food
goals despite the inroads into help.
Although only 2 per cent lower
than April, 1913, the farm labor

Huge Carriers 10 Be Named
Coral Sea and Midway

The two new 45,000-ton Navy air
craft carriers, now building, will be
named the Coral Sea and Midway,
after the two Pacific battles fought
in 1912, the Navy announced yes
terday.
These names now are held by two
escort carriers whose names will be
changed to Anzio and St. Lo. COM
memorating battles in the European
theater.
The two giant carriers, which are
known in the Navy as the CVB
class, will be the worlds largest
known ships of the type. They are
being constructed to handle planes
larger than any that heretofore
have opearted from the decks of
carriers.
The battle of the Coral Sea. in
May, 1912, effectively checked the
japanese advance southwark and
marked the end of the period during
which the Navy was totally on the
defensive. The battle of Midway,
In June, 1912, was the first decisive
defeat suffered by the Japanese
Navy in $50 years, the Navy said.

nese offensive action and restored

was most appealing throughout the
several taxing solo moments for
Aida in the opera. Making a
splendid foil for the Ethiopian slave
was Margery Mayer in the role OF
Amneris. Her voice is of fine tex
ture, ringing and pure, and with her
regal department and gorgeous ap-
parel she gave an impressive por-
trayal of the Egyptian Princess
Both singers are good actresses
bringing natural sentiment and sin
cerity to their character delinea-
tions and the scene between the two
in Amneris' apartment was highly
dramatic.
Sydney Rayner made the role OF
Rhadames a dominating one al
though he was not in such good
voice as at previous appearances
here. Harold Kravitt's Ramfis, the
High Priest, is one of the many
outstanding characterizations this
fine artist has in his repertoire. AS

Lydia Arlova, premiere danseuse,

Verdi's Aida" the first of three
performances which the renowned
San Carlo Opera will give under the
auspices Of the Federal Employees
Recreation Council this week end
was presented with pronounced
success at Constitution Hall last
night. In spite of the inclement
weather, the house was packed and
enthusiasm mounted as the opera
progressed, the artists, headed by
the American Indian, Mobley Lush
anya in the title role, receiving in
dividual acclaim for their splendid
work.
The fact that the one set of
scenery had to serve throughout the
performance was due to difiiculties
OF wartime transportation. Special
scenery which had been chosen with
great care for the particular needs
of Constitution Hall, was brought in
huge trunks personally by Fortune
Gallo, founder and director of the
company, from New York the day
before. Although put on the train
under his supervision, on arrival
in Washington the trunks with the
Aida sets were not among the 9TH
ers. Yesterday was spent by rail-
road officials in searching for them
but they could not be located.
A baggage car OF scenery was here
however, as the company is making
a stop-over on its tour. From this
sets were taken and adapted to Con-
stitution Hall stage but no change
could be made and the opera pro-
gressed without the view of the Nile
in the third act or the Temple of
Vulcan in the final scene. Mario
Valle, stage director, achieved won
ders, however, in creating the IL
fusion with other properties and, as
Washington audiences are accus-
toned to a curtailment of scenery
when opera is presented in Consti-
tuition Hall, the effect was not dis
turbing.
Nor does such a contretemps dis
turb the well-trained artists of the
company. The lovely Lushanya

u. s. Hands-OH' Policy
Nav Get Test In Greece

It is recognized that for the
British the problem is acute.
Churchill and Stain apparently
agreed that Russia should keep
hands off Greece But Communist
supremacy in Greece, in view OF
the way the Communists adhere
to Moscow foreign policy, would
effectively negative the agreement.
American officials apparently are
sympathetic with the British. Their
argument boils down to the fact
that they believe forcible imposi
ton on a liberated country is the
certain road to wide-open power
politics and more violent conflict
in Europe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 - Up -
The United States is considering
active application of its European
'hands-off" policy to Greece. The
hope of officials here is that il
may help to end the fighting be-
tween British troops and Greek
EAM forces.
Uncertainty over exactly what
course may be most effective If
winning for the Greek people free
dom of political action has stayed
the hands of Secretary of State
Stettinius for the time being. But
it was said that the basic policy
enunciated yesterday for Italy anc
"even more for the liberated Eu
ropean countries should apply
particularly to st r i f e ridder
Greece.
The State Department declared
in its policy statement that all lib
Grated peoples should have the
right to choose their own govern
ments without outside interference
This was pointed specifically a
Britain's veto of Count Carlo Sfor
"a as foreign minister in a new
Italian government.
Britain did not consult the Unit
ed States before blocking the ap
pointment. If it had done so in
dications are that the United States
would have argued vigorously
against the action.
Today in Commons, Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden maintain
ed that his government has per
feet right" to state to the form
ing governments of Europe it!
opinion about the inclusion of {
particular man as minister. Thu!
means at least a surface split il
British and American policy or
what the American statement call
ed "outside interference.
For President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Stettinius it raised the ques
ton: How far are they willing tt
back the policy with action? The
answer may lie in specific cases
rather than by generalization, but
at the outset action is certain to
be limited to political persuasions
AS a matter of policy, however
officials said that the apparent
split with Britain would not be
permitted to become serious anc
that Secretary Eden's insistence
on the British position was not
in the circumstances, expected
here.
After Italy, Greece is the first
specific case which arises. The
feeling in official quarters here is
that the situation has been badly
handled. On the one hand it is
believed that at the moment the
Fam resistance groups have faller
under the control of minority
Communist Leadership which woulc
not give the Greek people full
freedom of political action.
On the other hand, authorities
believe that use of force by the
British probably could have beer
avoided and should now be ended
as quickly as possible. The United
States has no troops in Greece. Blu
officials are working on the theory
that American interests in peace
full Europe are nonetheless imme
diately involved.
