WAR
Th^re w bitter fighting along the Greek-Albanian frontier.
Athens announces Gree* attacks against heavy resistance. There*
a report that another Italian base has been captured by the
Greeks. Also, that the Fascists are bringing up strong
reinforcements. Hence the development of a violent battle.
ThereT s contradiction about what was described this morning
as a Greek thrust behind the Italian lines - the landing of troops
to cut communications. This at first v.as hailed as a new and
dangerous Greek flanking move. Rome reported a landing party, but
said it had been destroyed - partly killed, partly captured.
t.
Later the Greek version was differenj^. It described the affair
as merely - a raid. Athens declared that a small Greek raiding
party from the Island of Corfu had landed, blown up roads and
bridges behind the Italian positions, and then retired safely.

PLANE PRODUCTION
Secretary of V.ar, Stimson stated today that the Army is
opposed <Bo any expansion of the commercial airlines of the nation.
The Army doe^ not /.ant the commercial lines to order newplanes,
because all possible aircraft production is needed for the defense
program.
This is the official attitude, said Secretary Stimson and
he denied stories that the Army wants commercial air service to be cut
down. He said that some companies were misrepresenting the attitude
of the War Department, which is as follows -- let the airlines
continue their operations as at present, but without increasing them.
All planes to go to Uncle Sam and John Bull.
President Roosevelt today summoned an official conference
to consider the question of strikes in industries working for
national defense. He talked the problem over ^ith the Secretaries
of Y/ar and too* Navy, the Attorney General, and the Labor Commissioner
on the Defense Board. Obviously, one of the subjects before the
Y.’hite House meeting was the walkout at the Vultee Airplane plant.
But shortly afterward, word came from Downey, California, that this
strike had been settled. The union and the Company came to terms.
We aren’t told Just how they agreed on the one point that remained
at issue - the Company demand that the union enter^no-strike
contract for the period of a year. Today's settlement still has
to be voted on by the strikers, but tonight union officials say
they're sure the men will vote a quick o.-ay.

stated that in the new budget, all non-defense money would be cut

will put to work a large proportion of people now on relief -
thus making it possible to cut relief costs.
Thtrt is to be a conference between the Dies Committee
and the Department of Justice - the F.B.X. This was announced
by^President
today. Both the Committee and the
Department are driving against fifth column activities, and the
idea is to have them coordinate their work - join up in the drive

The United States Senate today tooK surprise action on a
