Morava, Blockade Koritza 'Base By Control Of Roads Nazis Resume Air Attacks On London (By The Associated Press) ATHENS' Greece, Nov. 4.-Greece's skirted shock troops were reported tonight to have halted the Italian drive, thrusting forward 10 kilomet- ers (more than six miles) in bitter bayonet charges to seize the craggy heights of Mount Morava in Al- bania to command the road to the Italian base of Koritza. They claimed capture -of many prisoners and much war material in the relentless drive over the inhos- pitable terrain. Fight Centers At Kalamas Fighting flard all up and down the 100 me Albanian border, but the most intense struggles were declared to be at the two enas, around Mount Morava on the north and In the vicinity of the Kalamas River in the south. The Greeks counter-attacked the. Italian invaders north of the Kala- mas River today after withstanding an Italian tank charge: An Italian counter-attack against the Evzones in the northeast sector was said to have been repulsed, and then the Evones made their own drive up the mountain slopes with the aid of hand grenades and bared steel. Nearer the coast, on the Epirus front where the Italians were said to have made their only important gains in eight days of subdued blitz- krieg, the Greeks claimed they were holding their strongly fortified po- sitions against one Fascist thrust af- ter another Troops Bombed Meanwhile Rome reported Italian warplanes bombed and machine- gunned Greek troop concentrations, batteries and trenches while the Fas- cists legions continued their advance on all fronts, A. Stefani, Italian news agency correspondent reported to- night from the Albanian frontier. The brief report to the official Italian news agency said Italian planes continued hammering Greek positions along the mountainous country. Trains carrying military equip- ment, batteries, and Greek trenches were reported hit by bombs. The High Command said its bomb- ers had raided the Port of Salonika and the fortress on the Island of Cor- fu. Nazis Renew Attack After Quiet 24 Hours LONDON, Nov. 4.-(P)-German raiders spreading fanwise through cloudy skies returned to the attack on the United Kingdom tonight after giving the British one of their quietest 24 hours since the all-out air war- fare began Sept. 7. Sirens wailed their customary eve- ning alarm through London once more on schedule. Slight, intermit- tent gunfire was heard shortly after- ward. Only during the day was the me- tropolitan area threatened. A single German raider dropped a few bombs around tea timeK Aerial blows at the Axis from Kiel to Naples were reported. by the Bri- tish Air Ministry along with an offi- cial forecast that "in another six months Britain will have passed Ger- - - -- -- -1 - .

ROOSEVELT Gov.Dickinson Acknowledges 'Heavenly Aid' Aged Executive Condemns Third Term Candidacy; Asks For GOP Victory CHARLOTTE, Nov. 4. -(P)- Gov- ernor Dickinson wound up his elec- tion campaign tonight with a speech to a Republican rally in which he asserted he has "had the help of divine guidance" in his actions as governor. He pleaded for state and national Republican majorities in tomorrow's general election, and assailed Presi- dent Roosevelt's third term candid- aoy. "In my deliberations and actions as your Governor I have had the help of divine guidance," his text said. "We all have the privilege of turning to powers above and beyond us for spiritual help and comfort. I turn in that direction every day, finding there strength and counsel. That is my way of life. I think I owe much to it." Administration Thrifty Dickinson said his administration has been thrifty and effective, and contrasted it with the prior Demo- cratic administration which, he said, accumulated a state general fund de- ficit of $30,000,000. His text told the rally that he felt "little that will be said tonight, on the eve of the election, will influence your decision. You have made up your minds, tomorrow you have the choice, in Michigan, of keeping the sort of government you have had for the last two years, or of venturing into new fields. In the national bal- loting you have the choice of 'return- ing' to the sort of government we have in Michigan or of shattering all American traditions by perpetuating those in power beyond the span allot- ted to them by, the fathers of our country."

Willkie coupled tonight an eleventh hour appeal for all citizens to vote with an assertion that "apathy3 undermines liberty." The Republican Presidential nomi- nee, smiling and appearing confident, said in a prepared radio address that "the greatest danger to Democracy is that the citizens, who have the finalc authority, may become careless aboutc it.",, Terming it "the sacred duty" of all to vote in tomorrow's election, Willkie, asked that no one let bad weather keep him from the polling booth. "The issue may depend upon whe- ther or not you are willing to make a trip through rain or snow to the poll- ing place," he added. This was the second of three radio talks secheduled by the candidate for election eve. In an afternoon address he declared his every act as President would be designed "to keep this country out of foreign wars, and to keep it at peace." Willkie remained all afternoon and evening at his personal headquarters in the Hotel Commodore in order to draft his final speeches. In his mid-evening talk, he said that it was a "false and dangerous" argument to contend that the two- term tradition should be violated "on the grounds that we are faced with an international crisis." HYDE PARK, N.Y., Nov. 4.-(/P)- To a nation living in "the sun light and star light of peace" President Roosevelt asserted tonight that the right of the people to choose their own officers of government provides for them "the most powerful safe- guard of our democracy." He spoke in an election eve broad- cast from his country home, after de- claring in a statement that he awaited the verdict of the electorate tomor- row "in full confidence of vindication of the principle4 and policies on which we have fought the campaign." "After the ballots are counted," Mr. Roosevelt told the country in his broadcast, "the United States of America will still be united." There is every indication, he said, that the number of votes cast tomor- row will be by far the greatest in American history. "That is the proof-if proof be needed-of the vitality of our democ- racy," he asserted. The obligation of the people to their country does not end with the casting of votes, he added, as "every- ene of us has a continuing responsi- bility for the government which we choose." Democracy, the President said, is not "just a word, to be shouted at political rallys and then put back into the dictionary after election day." Judge Declares Group Under Obligation To Masonic No Legal Rent Hall Judge George W. Sample, presid- ing circuit court officer, last night decreed that the Masonic Temple Association was under no legal ob- ligation to deliver its auditorium fa- cilities to the Michigan Civil Rights Federation for a meeting Nov. 9. The text of the decision follows: The Bill of Complaint was filed in this cause on October 30, 1940. An Order to Show Cause why an in- junction should not issue against the said defendant as prayed for in the Bill of Complaint was issued by this Court on the same day. The defen- dant filed an answer to the Bill of Complaint denying all the material allegations in the said Bill and also filed a motion to dismiss the said bill setting forth in the said motion, seven reasons why the said bill should be dismissed.' This Court has carefully read the pleadings filed and has heard the testimony of the witnesses offered by the plaintiffs in support of the bill (Continued on Page 2) Ten Occupants Die As Plane Hits Mountain SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 4-(P)-A United Airlines plane, lost in a blind- ing snowstorm, crashed into a moun- tainside today, killing 10 ossupants. S. V. Hall, U.A.L. Vice-President in charge of western operations, said "it looks very much as if the ac- cident was caused by a failure of the range or radio beam. "Our trip No. 11 reported the range had irregularities at 5:36 a.m." Hall said the range was reported "O. K." at 4:24 a.m., but that it evidently failed about the time the San Francisco to Salt Lake plane, piloted by Capt. Howard Fey of Oak- land, approached Salt Lake. All indications were that the pilots had nosforewarnig of their danger. The passengers' safety belts appar- ently were not fastened. The airplane's chronometer, only instrument to show any kind of a reading after the accident, was stop- ped at 3:39. This was believed to establish definitely the time of the crash, with the probability it was set for Pacific Standard time, an hour earlier than Mountain time. Doctors Think Evy Will Play Operation On Collar-Bone Deemned Unnecessary By GENE GRIBBROEK A last-minute change of plans Sun- day morning praetically assured Michigan of its captain, blocking quarterback Forest Evashevski, ih their all-important game against Minnesota's Golden Gophers at Minn- eapolis Saturday. An operation on Evashevski's shoulder, previously announced nec- essary by Dr. George Hammond, the team physician, was cancelled just before the Wolverine leader was to go under the knife It was decided in consultation, in which Coach Fritz Crisler participated, that the injury was an old one and had been merely aggravated in the . Pennsylvania game. If a bruise on the same should- er, received in the contest with the Quakers, heals as is expected, Eva- shevski should be in good shape for the Gophers. The quick decision to operate, reached after examination of X- rays taken Friday night and Sat- urday morning, was made when Ham- mond decided that surgery would get the Wolverine quarterback into top condition for the Northwestern game, two weeks away, whereas he would be only partially efficient if he were allowed to play against Minnesota. A thorough examination, however, suggested that the injury had been present before, and Dr. Hammond's s,-cnrinn ua -c mrvci withb + 'r,.. (By The Associated Press) By its votes America will settle the great third term question today and decide whether Franklin D. Roosevelt or Wendell L. Willkie shall occupy the White House in the four years just ahead.' Some 50,000,000 citizens, by all in- dications, are expected to crowd the polling places. This would be a record number, attesting the nation's unus- ually intense interest in the outcome of a hotly-contested campaign. In addition to a President and Vice- President, 35 members of the Senate will be chosen, together with 432 members of the House of Represen- tatives and state and local officials by the hundreds. McNary, Wallace Talk The campaign came to a bustling conclusion last night in an outpour- ing 'of oratory that loaded the air waves for several successive hours. Final appeals to the electorate from both Willkie and Roosevelt, as well as addresses by the Vice-Presidential candidates, Charles L. McNary and Henry A. Wallace, were on the pro- gram. The election eve brought, in addi- tion, several developments: In Washington, R. J. Thomas, president of the United Automobile Workers of America, said a man "representing himself as coming from Willkie" had intimated he (Thomas) might be appointed Secretary of Labor if he would throw his support to the Republican nominee. Thomas urged an investigation by the Senate Campaign Funds Committee. Mail Sacks Released Washington postal authorities or- dered the release at Boston of 40 sacks of' mail containing some 50,000 un- signed circulars attacking President Roosevelt. Chief Postal Inspector John J. Breslin said the material had been withheld pending an investiga- tion to determine whether it was of a scurrilous and inflammatory nature such as would bar it from the mails. He said the circulars raised the ques- ;ion whether religion was a factor in the ending of the close relationship between President Roosevelt and for- mer Postmaster Genera] Farley. In Joplin, Mo., two men and a 16- year-old boy were arrested while dis- tributing pro-Willkie literature near neliefhead arters. They were jailed for an hour under an ordinance regu- lating the distribution of handbills, and ordered released after ab hur- riedly-called meeting of the city mouncil had held the ordinance void. Political Parties Vie For Control Of House WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-(-)--The curtain rang down last night on one of the hottest contests for control of the House in the history of the coun- try. The outcome might have a profound effect on national policy in the com- ing two years. If, for instance, House control should go to the party that loses the presidency a system of dual government control would result, such as has occurred only a few times since the founding of the country. As last-minute oratory stilled to await tomorrow's election returns, both Democrats and Republicans claimed victory.

BLAUSTEIN More than 50,000,000 Americans are expected to go to the polls today to name their choices for the presi- dency and vice-presidency of the na- tion and no less than 10,000 of these will be Ann Arbor townspeople, Uni- versity students and members of the faculty. The views of these three groups on the various candidates who are run- ning have already been reflected in various recent primaries and pollstand it is well known that the residents of the city will support Wendell Willkie. The Congress and the Student Sen- ate straw votes have indicated that the students are almost three to two in favor of Mr. Willkie and the Con- cr'ce amly nnll has reveali that ceived reveal most individuals will go to the polls for two reasons: first, because they feel that this is a very important election year and they wish to take part in it and second because they feel that it is their duty as good Americans to vote. The first reason was stressed par- ticularly by the students who were questioned, all of whom are voting for the first time, while the latter was emphasized more by professors and townspeople. Here are some of the replies re- ceived yesterday: Prof Preston W. Slosson of the His- tory Department: I have always vot- ed in the past, and this year I most certainly will vote again. As a "mug- wnn in nolities I will vote as be- the amendment was passed allowing women to vote I have always taken advantage of that privilege. Except for 1932 I have always voted Republi- can and will name Willkie on my ballot this year. Prof. Jose M. Albaladejo of the Ro- mance Languages Department: I con- sider it my solemn duty to vote. I have only had that opportunity twice before and I took advantage of it at those times. I feel that I would be a bad American if I did not go to the polls on election day." Edward Philipson, '41: Although this is the first chance I've ever had to vote, I've decided to pass it up as I do not feel that any of the candi- dates have any desirable qualities. V. E.
