Bomb Athens Airport- Again

Fascist airplanes again bombed the Athens’ airport and the Greek port of Volos, but Greeks reported that little damage was done. Reports by way of Belgrade indicated that an Albanian revolt might be hindering the Fascist advance. The Albanians were reported fighting with the Albanians.

Dispatches from half a dozen European points indicated that the Italian thrust into Greece was but one phase of a general winter offensive being inaugurated by the Axis powers without interrupting the German-Italian bombing raids on the British Isles. Balkan sources said that Germany | had massed 16 divisions or perhaps 240,000 men in Slovakia and that |: the reinforcements en route down the Danube came from that zone. Previously, British military sources said that Germany had as. many as 70 divisions (from 809,000 to 1,000,000 men) available. for action in the southeast of Europe if necessary. Drive on Turkey Expected

The newspaper Curentul . at Bucharest reported that the German plan was to drive against Turkey in order to sieze the Suez Canal and the Near East of fields. Turkey so far has given no indication of going to the aid of Greece unless more directly menaced and Soviet Russia has confined reaction to the Greek war to h 'generalized statements as today’s Red Star (Army newspaper) remark that it would be a long. struggle. Nazi sources in Berlin agreed that an Axis offensive was in progress but insisted that it was largely diplomatic and that Germany was opposed to extension of the theater of war,

Berlin Area Raided

The dir wat continued over Ger-| many and Britain, with the Royal Air Force again attacking the Berlin area and pounding a dozen other points in Germany and Holland with bombs. "Big fires were started in German oil and ship centers, the London Air Ministry reported.

Nazis reported at Berlin that continued aerial raids on London had caused huge 1ires. A “sheet of flame’ covered Waterloo station, the Germans said, and the. West India docks were severely hombed. Liverpool and Coventry also were reportedly heavily attacked. The German High Command said that a Nazi sea raider had sunk three enemy merchant ships in ‘overseas” operations.

Describing German attacks on the British Isles, the High Command sald that military. objectives had

including Portsmouth Harbor and an ammunition dump at Great Yarmouth.

It was claimed that two ships were bombed off Ransgate. Smoke rose from the vessels “strongly” after they had been “severely hit,” the High Command said,

The High Command said that Italian planes participated in yesterday’s daylight raids and it claimed that last night a number of air fields in eastern counties were attacked. It was said that hangars and barracks were set afire and that numerous grounded planes were destroyed or damaged.

Garment Workers and the shirt workers. Mr. Roosevelt hit out at dissemination of the “philosophy of fear” in the campaign, reiterating that “the only thing America has to fear is fear itself.”

U. S. Keeps Clear, He Says “What a pity it is that there

should be an injection of fear dur-

ing this national campaign into the

hearts of Americans,” the President said.

Pointing to the fact that the Eu-

ropean conflict only this week has spread into a new area as Greece and Italy went to war, Mr. Roosevelt ‘said that despite the extendin theater of war, the United Stat

‘has been able to keep clear.” But, he said, America now has

started mustering its manpower ina new measure to show its determination to keep clear. .

“We have started to train our

men,” he said, “not that we expect to have to use them.”

The President planned to confer

with Secretary of. State Cordell Hull shortly by long distance telephone from Springfield, Mass. Hull will give Mr. Roosevelt complete State Department reports on the Italo-Grecian war. dent was now expected to wait until later Greek funds and credits in this country and ‘to proclaim formally American neutrality in the war.

State’s Quota Small

will be much smaller than was expected. On the basis of population, it was figured that Indiana would be required to furnish 750 men in the first national call for 30,000 men this month. ; Selective Service officials said that the smallness of the state's quota was probably due to a lack of housing facilities. The Army, under the law, can call only the number of men for which it has housing facilities. ‘The next immediate step in the draft program is the mailing of questionnaires of the registrants receiving low order numbers in yesterday’s draft lottery in Washington. The draft boards will receive photostatic copies of the national master order list within the next three days and from this will compile order lists for their own areas. Then they will mail questionnaire§ to the registrants at the rate of 50 per day. For example, the first batch of questionnaires will be mailed to those registrants in each board area holding order numbers from 1 to 50. The next batch will be mailed to those holding order numbers from 50 to 100, and so on.

A registrant will be placed in one of four classes: Class I, those fit for military service; Class II, those deferred bcrause or a job important to the national defense; Class III, those deferred because of dependents, and Class IV, those unfit for military service. The later class includes public officials exempted by law, those physically unfit and conscientious objectors available only for civilian work of national importance,

Physically Fit Class 1-A

It is from this class that Indiana will take its share of the 800,000 men who are to be called for military training during the next year, The first quofa calls, it is believed, will be clivided among the local draft boards. Later, after the draft boards havé classified a good portion of their registrants, the calls will be aportioned on the basis of Class I-A registrants in each area. : Credit will be (liven to each local draft board for tite number of men now in military | service from its area.
