important in the final outcome of the Itailan-Greek conflict is the |preparation now being made under Adolf Hitler's direction for a new offensive against the British Empire. This offensive presumably will be designed to strike at both pA of the Mediteranean and thus would directly support the Italian invasion of Greece; perhaps even to the |extent of striking through Bulgaria into the Salonica sector of Greece. Reports from the Greek fighting front said that Greek troops now held a continuous 18-mile front from Erseka| to the Koritza neighborhood, about [six to 10 miles deep in Albania.
Italian Guns Captured
The : Greeks | reported that 15 residents of | the island of Samos had made a daring raid on a small Italian island of the Dodecanese group, killing | four Italians and capturing three prisoners who were taken back -te“$Samos.

and Kiloniati, killing 20 and wounding 50 civilians. Two British and two intercepted Italian bombers over the island of Corfu, shooting down two of them. It also was reported that two Greco-British planes bombed Italian positions, in the villages of Svirna and Veliterna, on a secondary road between Koritza and Pogradec, north of Koritza, destroying two Italian trucks. Reports from Salonica, eastern Greece, said 400 more Italian prisoners had arrived in the past 24 hours. Prisoners were questioned at Salonica before being moved to camps. Greek officials were said to have obtained valuable information from the 1500 prisoners passing through Salonica. The latest Salonica arrivals included many officers from the Koritza sector. Some of them: were quoted that their infantry battalion had been taken by surprise and had surrendered in toto after only three of its men were wounded.

order” the Axis seeks to create in Europe. Hungarian reports said Jugoslavia was not to be represented and it was evident that Turkey was taking no part in it. Slovakia was included, by virtue of being com=pletely within the German orbit, but Hungarian reports said there might be another motive in inviting Slovak : representatives—that Slovakia was threatening to expropriate the lands of Hungarion settlers in Slovakia affected by the Vienna awards of 1938, Czechoslovakia was partitioned.
Turkey Not Mentioned
Information made available’ to |the foreign press in Berlin said the conference last week-end between Hitler and King Boris of Bulgaria had dealt with “the new political order in Europe.” Turkey nowhere was mentioned in connection with the Vienna conference and the official radio station at Ankara significantly broadcast last night that the intense diplomatic activity all over Europe showed that Germany was in a difficult situation. The radio commentator said Serrano Suner’s visit to Germany, closely following Russian PremierForeign Minister V. M. Molotov’s trip there, probably was the result of “Germany giving Spain explanations and guarantees regarding the Russian conversations, and a promise that after the war the anti-Comintern pact would be applied again.” The commentator also said the fact that Italian Premier Benito Mussolini had considered it necessary to explain his Greek campaign in a speech, was of special significance.
Grandiose Scheme Awaited
Hungarian circles in Budapest believed the Axis powers were preparing some grandiose announcement. Fascist observers at Rome be-

A message from President Roosevelt urging new unity discussions was expected, perhaps today.

JTH TO TELL OF SPY WORK, DIES REPORTS
Alien Described as Ex-Nazl Agent; Society Woman Also to Testify.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19 (U, P.).—An alien youth described as a former agent of the Nazi Gestapo who ene gaged in plant and military ese pionage in the United States, a society woman and leaders of Gere man-American and Italian-Amer-ican organizations were scheduled to testify today at a closed heare ing. of a Congressional committee investigating un-American activie ties. Heinrich Peter Fassbender, alias Harry Smith, who carried creden‘tials allegedly issued by the Gere man secret police and checks issued to him by the Nazi Gov=ernment, w a Ss brought to Chicago last night by airplane from Los Angeles where he was subpenaed by a Dies Committee investigator. Rep. Martin Dies (D. Tex), chairman of the Congressional committee, said Fasse bender had agreed to tell about his espionage activities because he bee lieved he was faced with deportae tion for traveling with a false pass port. Mr. Dies said he had agreed to intercede for the 23-year-old German to prevent his return to Europe.
Admits Spying, Dies Says
Mr. Dies said Fassbender had en= tered the United States by jumping the ship on which hé had heen employed and had traveled through the nation carrying a seaman’s certificate and what Mr. Dies de~ scribed as a “free passport with a Tokyo visa.” Fasshender told newspapermen he had started working as an agent of the Nazi Government in 1935 - and had operated in Spain and Belgium before he came to the United States. - . “He had photographs of indus-

10 MORE SENTENGED
FOR LIQUOR FRAUD
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 19 (U. P.).—Ten more men, admitted operators of an illicit liquor ring in Indiana, Michigan and Illinois, have heen sentenced to terms ranging from 14 months to six years. Sentencing of the men, last of 19 who pleaded guilty to charges of evading $147,000 in alcohol taxes, climaxed the case which has been pending for more than a year. The conspiracy was first discovered in Benton Harbor when bootleg sales were traced to Frank Forestieri. Agents of the Federal Treasury Department reported that the ring is the largest of its kind ever uncovered in the three states. They said leaders of the ring were former lieutenants of the Al Capone gang of Chicago.

called to try to reconcile Nationalist Spain with Bolshevik Russia, in view of their common friendship with the Axis powers. There were reports in Rome that Molotov had agreed to recognize Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Spanish Government and send an ambassador to Madrid if Franco would send one to Moscow, forgetting Russia’s aid to the Spanish Leftists during the civil war. Slovakia is completely within the German orbit and DNB reported today from Pressburg that the Slovak Government had adopted a new series of anti-Jewish laws.
Japanese Posters Rap U. S.
In Tokyo, red and black posters warning, “Prepare Against America,” appeared throughout the city. The posters read, in smaller type, “Listen to the bell on the eve of the World War.” They were especially numerous in the vicinity of the United States Embassy. The National Patriotic Party had put them up during the night. Newspapers, meanwhile, assailed the United States and Great Britain in connection with rumors that they had signed a secret military treaty with Thailand (Siam). Asahi said Britain and the United States were showing an increasingly hardened attitude in their Far | Eastern preparations and that “we |must be fully ready and keep a sharp watch.”
China Balks on Peace Talk
In Shanghai, informed Japanese said that Japan had abandoned hope of direct peace negotiations with the Chinese Government and has decided to recognize the Japa-nese-sponsored Nanking Government of Wang Ching-wei. There was no evidence of China's willingness to talk peace, but other quarters said Japan’s peace gestures had been designed to promote a non-aggression agreement with Russia on the idea that Japan had attempted unsuccessfully to come to terms with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-srek. -

Assisted Investigation
Referring to the Dies Committee, he said: “We have continued our efforts in support of the Dies Committee. Not only did we support the continued legislation and the fight for an adequate appropriation, but we have assisted the commtitee in many other ways ..,.” Mr. Chaillaux attacked alleged subversive groups. “The German-American Bund has destroyed practically all of its membership records and other material of the kind which would give
us access to its organizational set- te
up,” he said. “It is time for the American Legion to work for legislation which will make public record of the peronnel of the German-American Bund and the Communist Party. It has been proved by the Dies Committee’s ‘exposure that publicity which creates public opinion is very destructive to all Fifth Column activities.” Mr. Chaillaux announced another investigation of the activities of Harry Bridges, West Coast labor leader, after pointing out that a resolution calling for Mr. Bridges’ deportation had been passed by the House but blocked by the Senate. He asked that the Legion devote some of its time “to the passage of legislation which would bar from the mails the handling of proganda which comes to us from European nations at war ...”
Opposes Propaganda |,
“For example, thousands of tons of German propaganda have been carried to the United States under our free handling of mail agreements. This propaganda has bee directed to those who are apparently more interested in Germany than in the United States. It is time that we quit paying for the handling of Russian, German and Italian propaganda mail which is
| designed to destroy us.”
“Our biggest job for the coming year will be that of finding a way to help our law-enforcement agen-
‘| cies discover and prevent acts of
sabotage, which no doubt will be more and more prevalent in the United States.” :
STRICKEN WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
mm— KOKOMO, Ind., Nov. 19 (U. P.). —Fire sweeping through her threeroom house caused the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Larowe, 78-year-old paralytic while she was in bed. The fire yesterday started from a gas stove and trapped her. Fireman R. F. Gammans was overcome by smoke when he tried to rescue the invalid and he was taken to St. Joseph Hospital. His condition . was not serious. A foster son survives. .
CARNIVAL WORKER CLAWED TO DEATH
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 19 (U. P.). —George (Abe) Martin, about 60, Hot Springs, Ark., carnival worker, was clawed to death by two lions at the World of Mirth Shows winter quarters here last night. His arm, shoulders, and back were torn by the animals. He died a few hours after the clawing. It was believed Mr. Martin went to cover the cage for the night when the two lions pawed at him through the bars. When other showmen arrived they found the beasts had pulled him almost into the cage.

and left wings ultimately would destroy it. The Federation was revising its per capita tax structure to finance the continuation of the battle. Its executive council called for increased organization activities on all fronts. Meanwhile, efforts to purge the Federation of criminal elements will meet no resistance from the heads of two of the international unions which are virtually concerned, Edward Flore, president of the Restaurant Workers and Bartenders, and Daniel J, Tobin, president of the Tedmsters, gave their verbal indorsement to a purge resolution made public yesterday and now resting in the resolutions commit-
e. Mr. Tobin, kept his foot in the door because the resolution, offered by the recently reaffiliated International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union, treads perilously close to encroaching on the autonomy of international unions. “Otherwise it sounds like a good resolution,” he said. “There's no question about it, our’ members don’t want to be dominated by convicted criminals. But I think you'll find the convention will go mighty slow in bestowing arbitrary powers on any board or tribunal.”
Moral Turpitude Is Issue
The garment workers’ resolution, patterned after one adopted at their New York convention last May when they voted to rejoin the A, F. of L., would empower the A. F. of L. executive council to order any affiliated union to remove an officer convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or of using his office for personal gain. Defiance of such an order would be the signal for the A. F. of L. to unleash its “full moral force” for a showdown. : The clause on which Mr, Tobin hedged would require all affiliated unions to erect constitutional barriers ‘against racketeers and devise machinery for disciplining those already in office. “The teamsters have such a provision in their constitution, so that doesn’t concern us,” he said. “But unions aren’t going to stand by and let the A. F. of L, dictate to them.”

Insist on C. I. O. Pattern
“Unity in the labor movement can be accomplished only if the economic and legislative activity of labor continues along the progressive and vigorous paths blazed by the C. I. O.,” the report said. “It must protect and include all the organizations in the C. I. O. The millions of newly-organized workers are the pride of the C. I. O. and the proof of the effectiveness of the principles of the C. I. O. “Any program for unity should involve a joint convention of all labor organizations, including those of the A. F. of L. the railroad brotherhoods and the C. I. O., with existing jurisdictional differences to be adjusted in such a convention.”
Hillman Plan Ignored
Although Mr, Hillman's Amalga-| mated Workers Union had submitted a resolution asking the convention to instruct the peace committee to resume negotiations with the A. F. of L. immediately, the officers’ reports committee made no such recommendation. The report denied Roosevelt Administration assertions that cooperation of A. F. of L, C. I. O. and railroad union representatives on an advisory committee to Labor Defense Commissioner Hillman had demonstrated that labor peace was possible. The committee indorsed Mr, Lewis’ demand that Government contracts be withheld from alleged labor law violators, his insistence that the C. I. O, as such be given representation on the Defense Commission, and his call for revision of the Federal tax structure.
May Sidetrack Communism Ban
The report was submitted and rumors that another clothing workers resolution—designed to bar Communists, Nazis and Fascists from paid C. I. O. offices or jobs— had been barred from constitutional committee consideration on a legal technicality. The convention call required submission of all proposed constitutional amendments 10 days in advance of the meeting, Amalgamated proposals were not handed to C. I. O. officials until last Saturday. It was said unofficially that the committee had declined to extend the time for presenting constitutional changes, although the time for handing in resolutions was extended to include all resolutions submitted by 8 a. m. last night.
Floor Fight Averted
One point of difference between Hillman and Lewis supporters was settled without a floor fight last night when the opposing groups in the New York State Industrial Union Council accepted an executive board proposal for a new state con-
0 lvention and a temporary three-
member regency to govern organizational matters meanwhile, Thomas . Kennedy, former Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and U. M. W. secretary-treasurer, was named “impartial chairman” to arrange for the convention and to head the regency with the advice of state C. I. O. President Gustave A. Strebel and Buffalo C. I. O. Regional Director Hugh Thompson. Mr. Strebel is a Hillman supporter, and Mr. Thompson backs Mr. Lewis. The Hillman group accepted the proposal “under protest” to avert a floor fight.
SISTERS OF ACTRESS SUE FOR GEMS, FURS
NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (U. P).— Two sisters of the late Lilyan Tashman, wife of Edmund Lowe, have brought suit to obtain $121,750 worth of furs and jewels allegedly promised them by Mr. Lowe after the death of his wife here, March 21, 1934. . The two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Robinson of New York and Mrs. Hattie Blumenson of San Francisco, contend that Mr. Lowe orally promised them his wife's furs and jewels when they agreed to waive all rights to Mrs. Lowe's non-community
