the State, including some Legislators who arrived preceding the meeting, wained that heavy financial contributors in their districts were alarmed by the intra-party fight. Neal McCallum, State Committee secretary, was reported to be safe in today’s shakeup. He is a favorite with the powerful Republican Editorial Association and early reports that he would be replaced have been denied by party leaders. Meanwhile, Mr. Bobbitt’s strategy . in attempting to block his removal « remained a mystery after a series of : conferences with his supporters. The chairman refused the com- . mittee’s request that he resign after + 2a midnight session of opposition - leaders here last Tuesday. Committee members demanding his ouster blame Mr. Bobbitt for the . ill-fated “decentralization” program , of the recent Legislature and dis- : agree with his proposal that the

weeks from Albania eating grass, were begging for food at Athenian back doors—was seized by the infantry from Luftwaffe gourmands who specialized in rich, American-style sundaes. In any occupied town it is a common occurrence to see a German blitz straight down a menu consuming double orders throughout and tripling anything really toothsome. Such decathlon eating records would be merely a pleasantly human counterweight to Nazi asceticism if the factory girls in Piraeus and the shop clerks in Athens were not fainting repeatedly at work for lack of sufficient nourishment. = t 4 =
EVERY RESTAURANT from Alexandropolis to Kalamata has its own incredible German eating records. Floca's, a famous eating place in Salonika—the city whose only flour mill was burned down the night before the Nazis entered—is still talking about five Germans who demanded five orders of bacon-and-eggs with three eggs in each. At the time eggs were obtainable only smuggled, at 12 cents each—about five times the normal price. When the Germans finished the first order they commanded another. After that they commanded a third, still with three eggs upon each plate. Before invariable successions of rounds of sundaes, they insisted on having two large orders of ham apiece. This was at a time when the marketplaces were literally bare to the boards and the writer was unable, regardless of cost, to get anything but string beans, cherries and bread. It has been common in Athens for civilians to be denied eggs with the proprietor’s answer: “I must save all my eggs for the Germans, or I will be arrested.” For several weeks it was impossible for restaurants even under threat of imprisonment to supply all the food the Germans wished to eat. In order to be sure that the Reichswehr’s strength did not fade, the Stadtkommandatur « farmed out wholesale orders to Greek middlemen. The writer has studied several such wholesale or- | ders. They say nothing about price. Price is never an object to the Reichswehr because it prints its ewn money wherever it goes and its bayonets do the legalizing. The orders I read stated merely that

Regina walked about downtown streets half dazed for several hours and then made up her mind to ask advice of a policeman. The policeman took her to Theodora Home, and that's where she is today. She doesn’t know what to do, or where to turn. She has no money to pay the hotel bill, and they have her clothes. She doesn’t want her family to learn of her plight. Most of all, she doesn’t want Bob's family to learn of the suspicion of trouble that hangs over him. “I wouldn't want his mother to know,” she said. And then she burst into tears.
WILLKIE CALLS RUSS ‘DAM HOLDING FLOOD’
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25 (U. P).—Wendell L. Willkie last night warned Americans not to let their distaste for Communism blind them to the value of Russia's stand against Germany. He said it is Russia—not Communism—battling the Nazis. Crusading for national unity, he addressed more than 12,000 persons who filled the Civic Auditorium and stood in the streets, at an Americans United Rally. “Russia is now the dam that on one wide front is holding off that Nazi force, which, like a flood, has been spreading over the world,” he said. “Some of our isolationist friends,” he said, ask: ‘Why welcome this help from the Communists, when we like them no better than the Nazis?” Mr. Willkie said the answer is simple; Naziism is a powerful menace to Democracy, and Communism isn't. “It's (Communism’s) appeal is rapidly dying; its propaganda is confused and futile,” he continued. “It is a dream that didn’t come true. Today, Russia, not Communism, is fighting Hitler.” :

PRESENT PROSPECTS are that at the present ration of approximately five ounces daily per person—about one-sixth the normal diet of the Greek manual la-
borer—wheat stocks mixed with corn meal will hold until the arrival] of the new crop late in July. But the ration cannot be extended and the workman must simply tighten his belt over the hollow place caused by lack of his most essential food. When German officers, suspicious that they are not to get everything on hand, insist upon visiting kitchen ice chests, Greek cooks receive them with scant courtesy. But simply through ignoring politics and fighting with the Greeks strictly about food, many members of the Reichswehr have picked up a surprising command of the Greek language. Three Germans sitting in a tavern below the Acropolis the other night ordered in German as the cap to an enormous meal, “three coffees, bitter.” “Three poisons” yelled the waiter in Greek, with a malevolent look. One of the Nazis raised his head: “Make that two poisons and one coffee,” he said in perfect Greek. “I happen to be Austrian.”
a given quantity of certain food articles would be obtained by a given date and the Germans would pay the cost of purchase, upkeep and transport en route to Athens and cost of delivery and distribution. The eventual total of all the charges was airily left unmentioned. Whatever it was it would be met—from the piles of freshly printed “Reichskreditkassenscheine” (occupational marks),
2 = 2 THE LARGE SUPPLY of tinned beef and other food left behind by the retreating British for the American Red Cross was
taken away from the custody of Director Paul Thorn by the clique of Germanophile Greek generals who preceded Gen. George Tsolakoglou’s government. When the American relief man tried to recover the food for distribution in refugee quarters in Piraeus and Athens, where rickets and malnutrition are rampant, he was turned down with the bluntest discourtesy. Later two truckloads of the same food were distributed by the Germans in the same suburbs while Nazi cameramen ground busily. A telegram was sent by the American Red Cross to Director Thorn, stating among other orders that the contents of a food ship then at sea should not be distributed pending further orders. The telegram passed through the German censorship by way of the Foreign Office and the Legation in Athens. As a checkup by mail later showed, this paragraph was removed from the telegram en route. A major crisis between Gen. Tsolakoglou’s government and Field Marsha] Sigismund Wilhelm von List, Nazi blitzkrieg general, who selected him, arose when the Germans seized all the wheat and corn in the co-operative storehouses of Thessaly. They also claimed for the army all unripe crops still standing in the grain fields of the war-ridden western departments of Aetolia and Arcanania, The Premier learned that the wheat in the storehouses would last only until June 10 and, unable to face longer the importunities of the starving Greeks, told Marshal von List that he must resign. The German High Command thereupon issued a proclamation stating that “in consideration of the situation” the seized grains would be released.
Cultist Pays Off For Beer Theft
EDENTON, N. C, July 25 (U.P).—Mrs. R. Frank Tuttle disclosed today she had been paid $2 for a 32-year-old theft of beer, snuff and soda pop from her store by a follower of Father Divine, New York Negro religious leader. The letter, asking that Mrs. Tuttle send a receipt to Father Divine, explained that when the woman worked for Mrs. Tuttle her name was “Mrs. Lemon Combes,” but “for doing what I'm doing I am now ‘Miss Wrestling Jacob’.”
