Greek Forces Rout Italians
Fascists Hurled Back Along Entire Front
ATHENS. Dec. 2—<TP> — Greek forces, hurling back Italian troops along “the entire front” in Albania, were reported today to have captured 7000 additional Fascist soldiers and left an even higher number of dead and wounded on the battlefields as they seized strong positions for new assaults.
Dispatches from the front placed the Greek vanguard barely 45 miles from the Albanian capital of Tirana and Greek military spokesmen said the Italians were in retreat from the sea to the Jugoslav border, across snowy mountain passes, with the Greeks in “tenacious pursuit.”
The Greek press liaison officer said the Greeks were pressing hard after the Italians who were doing their utmost to take advantage of the rain and fog to cover their movements and attempt a counterattack through mist-hidden ravines.
Italian commanders were said to be rushing reinforcements into mountain positions north of Pogradec on Lake Ochrida in an effort to stem the Greek drive which

Rumania Raises Transylvanian Issue Again
BUCHAREST, Dec. 1—(U.P)—Premier Gen. Ion Antonescu today demanded “obedience” from the vengeful Iron Guard and served warning on Hungary that Rumania is determined to regain the Transylvanian territory stripped from her by an Italo-German award last August.
Speaking before 100.000 Iron Guardists and others in the ancient city of Alba-Julia on the 22nd anniversary of Rumania’s annexation of now-dismembered Transylvania, Gen. Antonescu said that Rumania refuses to renounce her claims to thc- nearly 20.000 square miles of territory.
(In Budapest, it was predicted that Antonescu's claims to Hungarian-held Transylvania might bring a sharp and immediate official warning from Hungary. Antonescu’s raising of the Transylvanian issue, it was said there, probably constituted an attempt to divert attention from Rumania’s internal disorders and enable Antonescu to regain a firm hand.)

Baxter Reads Hardy Poems
“Poets are not prophets,” the saying goes, but where Thomas Hardy is concerned, Dr. Frank C. Baxter, head of the department of English language and literature, doesn’t believe that the saying holds true.
“Thomas Hardy has written many poems which are still applicable today,” according to Dr. Baxter, ‘‘and those of the Napoleonic period are especially applicable to our present war conditions.”
Dr. Baxter plans to discuss the poems of Hardy today in his fifth weekly poetry reading session at noon in Bovard auditorium. According to a statement made last Friday, Dr. Baxter will place special emphasis upon the appropriateness of Hardy’s poems today, as well as in the 19th century when they were written.
In discussing the poems that he will read today, Dr. Baxter stated that he had chosen “The Dynasts” as one of the selections because “the poem has so many truths that will apply today.

Author Sends Best Wishes to Director of Icebound'
, In a personal letter to Edmund Evans, director of “Icebound,’' to be presented tomorrow and Wednesday night in Bovard, Owen Davis, who won the Pulitzer prize for the play, yesterday sent his best wishes for a successful performance: “Dear Mr. Evans,
“Icebound has always been one of my own favorites among my plays, not so much because it won the Pulitzer prize as because it was my first attempt to write about my own people and at that time it was a sort of milestone to mark the change in my method between the writing of stage fiction and the writing of plays founded upon character. I see little chance of getting to California to attend your presentation, but I hope you will all enjoy doing the play.
As Ever,	(Signed)

Kennedy Quits Foreign Post
Roosevelt Declines to Name Successor
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—(U.E) — Joseph P. Kennedy today announced he has submitted his resignation as United States ambassador to Great Britain so that he may devote his time to “the greatest cause in the world today ... to help the president keep the United States out of war.”
He said he submitted his resignation to President Roosevelt on November 6 but that he had acceded to Mr. Roosevelt’s wish that he continue to serve until his successor was chosen. Kennedy added, however, that he would not return to London as ambassador.
In a prepared statement, Kennedy said:
“Today the president was good enough to express regret over my decision, but to say that, not yet being prepared to appoint my successor, he wishes me to retain my designation as ambassador until he is. But I shall not return to London in that capacity.”

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1—(U.P) — Manuel Avila Camacho was inaugurated president today and in a brief speech pledged Mexico to pan-American defense and invited foreign capital to participate in the country’s development on the bails of “legitimate profit.”
Representatives of 30 nations, including U.S. vice-president elect Henry A. Wallace, heard him speak in the chamber of deputies where the inauguration took place.
Thousands of armed peasants and workers stationed in Constitution plaza to help the armed forces maintain order against possible Al-mazanista outbreaks.
The principal points ln his speech were:
1.	Mexico will build her own naval bases as a direct contribution to pan-American defense.
2.	Consolidation and defense of the social and economic reforms of the workers and peasants.
3.	The necessity of Mexico to face world conditions and seek prosperity through increased production under private initiative.
4.	Investors must have the incentive of legitimate profits.
5.	A warning to the army to stop interfering in politics.
6.	An appeal for national unity and the banishment of all intolerance.

Dr. Rice Reviews Book at Campbell Club Lunch
Dr. Perry J. Rice will review “The World’s Need of Christ,” a new book issued by the Duke university department of sociology at a luncheon-meeting of the Campbell club at noon today in the University Methodist church. Price of the luncheon Is 20 cents.
“King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-Eber, on the shores of% the Red Sea and sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea. And they secured from thence gold. 420 talents and brought it to King Solomon.”
With this biblical reference, taken from 1 Kings, 9:26, Dr. Carl S. Knopf this week displayed a handful of copper and slag excavated from the Red Sea which confirms | biblical records dating approximately 1000 B. C.
Dr. Knopf, professor of biblical literature and archeology at SC. was presented with this rare gift by the American Schools of Oriental Research through M. M. Welch of Los Angeles. The ore was unearthed after recent excavations at Ezion-Ceber, located on the north end of the Gulf of Aqabah on the Red Sea.
So that these ancient craftsmen could use the elements to their best advantage, they oriented their furnaces to the wind to receive the full benefit of the continuous gales. These winds supplied the necessary ventilation drafts. They frequently became clogged with sand, however, and the slaves were required to use bellows. Oxidation products from the copper sulphide fumes turned the furnace walls green in the process. Fumes and smoke, combined with the torrid climate conditions made the mortality rate extremely high. Dr. Knopf explained.
Excavation today by members of the school’s research group was difficult. One sand storm lasted for a ten day period, he said.
The rare ore and slag is now on exhibit in the Near East room of Doheny library.
