Only in that way are defects in health exactly ex-actly revealed the first step in setting them remedied. Of the 16,000,000 men registered reg-istered for the draff, some 0,000,000 will undergo physical physi-cal examinations, Dr. Paul A. Neal estimates. If a plan is devised to remedy reme-dy physical defects of those who are rejected for selective service, a vast improvement can be made in the health of the manpower of the nation, Dr. Neal believes. That wili increase the efficiency and productiveness of the industrial indus-trial machine, which is now losing vast amounts of man-hours man-hours each year through sick-, ness and injury. Now that we have selective military service, we might as well squeeze out of it every ounce of benefit we can derive de-rive for the American people at large. If it can be made to contribute even to health of those not chosen for service, so much the better. oOo When 2500 people rose and cheered Paul R-obeson, great buss-baritone singer, to the echo, last night at the Provo tabernacle, we saw a .great demonstration in racial equality, equal-ity, religious tolerance and democracy at its best.

ALLEN Find 800 Bundists Employed in Defense Plants in Los Angeles Area; Kennedy Feels He's Not Needed in London; Ponders Business Offers; Franco Wants U. S. Food To Pacify Spanish People, Close To Revolt. WASHINGTON Dies committee commit-tee agents have secretaly warned government authorities to be on guard against an outbreak of sabotage in defense plants on the West Coast. According to the Dies-men, biggest big-gest U. S. danger spot is Dos Angeles, where Nazi and Communist Com-munist fifth columnists have been unusually active of late. The Dos Angeles area contains one of the largest concentrations of defense work in the country. One reason for the D-mon'a fear was their discovery of a secret mailing list of 2500 names in a raid on the Dos Angeles headquarters of the German-American Bund. Herman Schwinn. West Coast Bund fuehrer, admitted, admit-ted, under questioning, that the list consisted of Nazi sympathizers sympath-izers who regularly attended Bund meetings. A check-up of the names revealed re-vealed the startling fact that 800 of them are employed in airplane plants, shipyards, oil refineries, auto factories and other key defense de-fense industries.

Roosevelt Sends Plea To Convention For Labor Unity NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19 (U.R) President Roosevelt today to-day asked and received a pledge from the American Federation of Labor that it will join any efforts to negotiate nego-tiate peace in organized labor's la-bor's five-year civil war. The president's appeal, made in a letter to the federation's annual convention, emphasized need of labor unity during the current national na-tional defense emergency. "Among- the things which labor will contribute, is, I venture to say, an unselfish, a far-sighted and patriotic effort to bring about a just and an honorable peace with the now divided labor movement," move-ment," the president's letter said. "Labor leaders, with the interest inter-est of the nation at heart, and the advantage of their leaders in mind can. I am sure, find the way to reach such a peace.'' The chief evecutive said peace may not be easy to achieve, and the intricate problems may not be easy to solve. "But when men of honor and good intentions sit down together thev can work out a solution which will restore the much-needed harmony, either by unity or by a sensible working agreement," the letter continued. William Geren, president of the federation, said in replying to Mr. Roosevelt's letter, that the convention con-vention probably will concur in the -recommendations tf the APL executive council that the organization's organ-ization's peace committee be auth orized to meet with a similar group from the rival Congress of Industrial organizations. ATDANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 19 V.Vj A Congress of Industrial Organizations' committee recom mended today the CIO make peace with th"e American Federation of Dabor only if the principle of industrial in-dustrial organization of mass production pro-duction industries is accepted, and all CIO unions are chartered in a new united labor movement, which would ipchide AFD, CIO. and Independent In-dependent Railroad Brotherhoods. Denouncing as "utter falsehood.' AFD charges that CIO President John Dewia alone had blocked labor unity, the report recommended continuance of a CIO peace negotiating nego-tiating committee consisting of Dewia and CIO Vice Presidents Philip Murray and Sidney Hill-man. Hill-man. It was considered unlikely Hillman would serve because of his federal post as labor defense commissioner.

Paul Robeson Thrills Tabernacle And ten ce Few concert celebrities have received a more tumultous md prolonged ovation than Paul Robeson, famous negro bass-baritone bass-baritone was accorded Monday night on the occasion of hi.s concert debut in Utah at the Provo tabernacle. "I guess you call that a real v j Utah welcome,'' was his first smiling, smil-ing, spontaneous response after the opening round of applause had subsided in the jammed auditorium charged with the expectancy of a delightful artistic evening. .eni'rus With Encores Mr. Robeson more than lived up to his advance notices. From the first strains of "Go Down, Moses," his opening number, to the final tones of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,.''

While Germany and Italy called pro-Axis Balkan states to a meet- ng at Vienna to map the next move, cspaicnes irom Ainens said Greek armies had hammered the Italians back into Albania and were threatening Albanian cities in addition to the besieged Italian base at Koritza. Fnder Heavy Fire Koritza wsi.s under heavy fire from the Greeks. Italian airplanes were reported in Jugoslav dis patches to have launched a heavy bombing attack on the Greeks, presumably in preparation for a counter-attack to relieve the im portant base at the head of the only roads into northern Greece. The Italian forces were reported concentrating in the Bobistica sec tor, near Koritza, in formidable numbers and it appeared that after suffering severe reverses the Fascist armies under Gen. Ubaldo Soddu were now getting into a position to make another big scale attempt to drive into Greece. The Greek successes in the war to date have been important, but neutral experts ' repeatedy have emphasized that all of the odds are against Greece in the long run. The Fascist invasion began through extremely mountainous areas that were made more hazardous haz-ardous by heavy rain. The Greeks fought with great bravery and skill. They were "tough," as the Italian press admitted. Outlook Discouraging But unices Britain can rush huge numbers of troops into Greece and that seems to be impossible im-possible the superior numbers of Fascist infantry, mechanized units and airplanes must obviously make the odds against Greece in the long run. just as the odd.1 were against Finland in the Soviet-Finnish Soviet-Finnish conflict. The Soviet army newspaper Red Star summed up the outlook for Greece in an article today, pointing point-ing out the Greeks have proved to be good fighters, but it would be a mistake to over-estimate their present successes in relation to the war's final outcome. Despite British air attacks, the Red Star said, the Italians now are concentrating large forces, including in-cluding .six Alpine divisions, for a new offensive.
