Tliad Eure, the secretary of state. j is still trying to find out how much i the G. O. P. Lackers spent. When he j gets the information it will be possi- I ble to figure out how little can be j aeecmplishcd with a very consider-! jible sum. That the sum was eon-j jsiderable is quite obvious, because everybody knows that newspapers ! I did not print fill those anti-third j term advertisements for nothing, or J anything approaching it. The official numerals made no j material change in previously an 1 nounced unofficial ones, but they did emphasize the complete and total 1 collapse of the Democrats for Will kic movement. it is Uue tnat the elephants presi dential hope polled something le»s Hi,in 2(),()U0 votes in Cai;i'ol the to tal compiled by_ the G. <).

The anticipated Willkie strength, likewise, did not develop in Guil ford. Forsyth or Gaston: and the G. O. P. candidate ran ahead of his gubernatorial running mate by as many as 2.000 votes only m Mecklen burg. where the Willkie total was 7.013 compared with 4.414 for Mc Neill. And so when Mr. Leonard does yet around to turning in ins report iso ought to do like Guy Weaver, Republican candidate for the State Senate from Buncombe, who blurted right (Jilt that his only contribution came from a ••misguided friend" and added that what he spent was a ••profligate waste of money".

Tins belated account contrasted with the British admiralty's descrip tion more than twelve hours earner, iviiich said that the engagement was fought at extreme range and that the fascist fleet immediately "re tired at high speed." The Italian report said two British [•misers were "damaged for certain" in the shelling and three other Bri tish men-o'-war were hit by bombs rlropped by Italian warplanes in a follow ■ ip attack. The battle occurred -outh of Sardinia, the communi(|ue aid. A lire was started on the British battleship, the fascist high command -aid. adding that only on fascist -hip was damaged. "An enemy projectile hit our LTui.ser Fiinne, but failed to explode," the Italian communique .said. "Our destroyer Lanciere was seriously nil and has been towed to base." The Koine communique also re ported that Italian troops of the 11th Lirmy, lighting in the 32-day old war with Greece, "set loose counter at tacks at various points which were crowned with success." Again, this conllicled with the CJrcek description ol the campaign, which said Greek fighters had ^mashed Italian resistance on the southern front alter a battle lasting lour days and lour nights. A Greek government spokesman aid the Greek counter-offensive m lo Albania had taken the initiative generally and now was driving ahead '.ilh the same speed which has narked the attack of recent days."

Recently the colonel \va-- reject* d for -ervice as commanding officer uf the l<i;jth Engineers on Ihe grounds of physical disability, despite the fact that he had taken ]8 physical exams in five years and every one of them had been available t>> the War department, which had made no comment indicating that lie was not fuliv fit for duty.
