He is expected to quote figures showing profits of various munition companies as a result of the armament program. Also, he will probably attack members of the William Allen White committee, giving their connections with Britain, and their holdings in firms profiting from defense spendings. .

The German note, transmitted through the embassy here, said prompt ly that "on the basis of the previous statement of the German government to the effect that the areas around England are areas of military opera tions, the Rome government is not in any position to furnish any sort of as surance of the nature requested." Department officials would not dis cuss the rebuke or possible counter action, but observers believe that they will move swiftly and probably in co operation with; the British. They sug gested the possibility that the Ameri can warships might be sent for the refugees or that a naval convoy would escort a passenger liner, into and out of the .war zone. BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov. 7 Violent fighting was reported in three sectors of the Italo-Greek front in border dispatches tonight, and it ap peared that a major Italian offensive was gaining ground.

I Bitter Competition May Be Result By Charles Barrett Bitter competition in presentation of speakers to the campus may be the result of decisions by the Carolina Political union and the International Relations club to sit tight and make no effort towards an agreement, ob servers said yesterday. Each organization in closed ses sions has discussed the advisability of approaching the other concerning some sort of concord, but each has de cided to hold back and wait for the other to move first. This means a warm contest for su premacy, forecast some weeks ago when the IRC started seizing some of the limelight formerly reserved for the CPU. Leaders of both organizations al ready have indicated they might seek to outdo the other by presenting a barrage of speakers such as the cam pus has never seen before. They ap parently have decided such a cam paign would neither sour the campus on speakers nor sour speakers on the campus. Bill Joslin, chairman of the CPU, See CPU, IRC, page 4.
