ITALIAN DRIVE--ica, near Konispolis, the Italians crossed and occupied the nearby Greek village of Kastanani.
3-Along the road which extends from Delvino, Albania, to Janina the Italians have advanced about 412 miles inside Greece. This road makes a junction with a road from Mesaria, about 10 miles inside Greece.
4—The Italians are reported to have massed their largest force in the Mesaria sector, where the Vyusa river crosses the frontier. It is here that the northern branch of the Jaina road crosses into Albania. The Italians have failed in attacks on Zipalica, about two miles inside Greek territory on the Janina road. The Italians also have failed in an attack on Melisopetra, about 1 and one-fourth miles inside Greece at the confluence of the Sarando Poros and Vyusa rivers.
As fighting developed slowly, diplomatic quarters here expressed belief that an Italian attempt at a peace offensive has failed.
PUMPKIN PROM---natural and fortune tellers. The principal object in consulting fortune tellers was to find who would be one's future partner in life. Children born on this night were supposed to have the power to see and converse with supernatural beings.
Local celebration of this ancient holiday will begin tonight at the Memorial Union where the Student Union Activities Committee has arranged for a fortune-teller to be on hand to help any K.U. students who are interested in finding their mates.
This old-fashioned affair, known as Pumpkin Prom, will last from 8 to 11 p.m., and will consist of games, dancing, apple-bobbing, and anything else appropriate for a Hallow'een party. Hobart Potter, e'43, in charge of games announced that prizes will be given in all contests. In case some of the more conservative students show up and don't want to enter into the spirit of things in the ballroom, card tables, ping-pong, and a bingo game will be going on in the Kansas room.
SPEED PLANS--who registered away from home and who have been unable to locate their registration cards. Officials said that when late cards are received by the local board a search will be made to see whether serial numbers were skipped when they were allotted. If there are any open numbers the card will receive one of these but if no numbers are open, a number will be added to the registration list and assigned the card.
For example, in a local board with 3,000 serial numbers already assigned, the new card would be designated 3,001. In this case, the late registrant would draw order number 172 and would be required to complete a classification questionnaire long before registrant 3,000, whose order number is 8644 in the lottery.
Legal Test Collapses
The prospective legal test of the draft lottery collapsed yesterday. A Detroit resident who held number 159—the first drawn—had threatened to contest the lottery because of the absence of six capsules in the original drawing. Later he changed his mind.
