Fiercely Fighting
Greeks Reverse
Situation On Leros
BODRUM, Turkey — (AP) —
Fierce Greek Andarts, storming
ashore on Leros last Friday to
strike the first major Greek blow
of revenge against the Nazis, re
versed the situation on the be
sieged Dodecanese Island just as
the German assault had about suc
ceeded, refugees arriving here
said today. ; s
Swinging directly into®battle, the
Greeks were said .to have gained
control of the landing beaches, at
tacked the Nazis from the rear
and flung back approximately 500
German- parachutists and 600 reg
‘ular infantrymen.
The Andarts stuck after succes
sive waves of German reinforce
ments from both sea and air had
pinched the British defenders
down to narrow sectors of the is
land, the refugees said.
They added that the Andarts
were put ashore by a destroyer
which had made the dangerous
run to the island under cover of
darkness. (The dispatch did mnot
have the nationality of the war
ship.)
(Cairo dispatches said yesterday
that the situation on Leros had
improved slightly and that the
Germans had suffered many dead
and wounded.)
Reports reaching Bodrum put
the German dead at 2,000, but the
Nazis were believed to be holding
one of their beachheads.
Several Are Killed
In Explosion Al
Naval Mine Depo!
YORKTOWN, Va. —i(P).. An
explosion in a warehouse at the
Naval Mine Depot here today Kkill
ed an estimated six civilian em
ployes and injured between 20 and
30, two of them seriously. The
plast awakened thousands of resi
dents of Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Newport News, some 30 miles dis
tant.
Captain R. D- Kirkpatrick, USN,
(Ret) commanding officer at the
Depot, said he believed the dam
age was extensive but that no esti
mate could be given immediately.
Several fires broke out after the
blast but were quickly extinguish
ed.
The explosion occurred at 12:25
a’ m. in the explosive plant area.
The force threw the lighting sys
tem out of commission and all
persons not participating in rescue
work were ordered out. J

Gomel was wvirtually surrounded.
Only one escape railway remained
open after the Russians captured
Demekhi, 34 miles west on the
railway to Warsaw. At Demekhi,
the Russians were within 320 miles
of East Prussia and in the Nevel
area farther north, %the German
border was only 275 miles from
Russian field guns.
The whole pattern of the Rus
sian campaign appeared te be one
of isolating and annihilating Ger
man forces which have been oust
ed from all but about 150,000
square miles of pre-war Russia.
The drive toward old Poland
from Kiev and Zhitomir had effec
tually severed:the German armies
of the south from those of the
center and north, Adanced Rus
sian forces were 300 miles = west

Effect Of Shorfened
Lunch Time On
Miners Debaled e
WASHINGTON K (AP)—*“Hell,
no, it won’t hurt them a bit.”
This was the answer given at
John L. Lewis’ United Mine Work
ers office to the question:
Will the miners’ new contract,
reducing their lunch period from
30 minutes to 15 minutes, affect
their health .or in the long run
reduce their productivity?
The contract was negotiated by
Lewis and Interior Secretary Ickes
and was approved by the War
Labor Board.
Lewis’ office says 15 minutes
are plenty of time to eat the food
the miners take into the pits with
them, usually a couple of ‘healthy”
sandwiches, coffee, pie and maybe
an apple, which they eat beside
their work.
Critics of the contract granting
a 15-minute meal period to the
miners raise these questions:
1. Is it humanitarian to ask the
hardworking coal miners to take
only 15 minutes for lunch,
2. Will they be able, with only
that 15-minute rest, to keep on
working at top effectiveness? i
3. Will the miners just go on
taking 30 minutes for lunch as in
the past?
A committee of top government
officials, in. making a report—long
before the mine agreement — on
recommendations on the hours of
work needed for maximum war
produetion, said:
“A 30-minute meal period in
mid-shift is desirable for men and
women from the standpoint of the
workers’ health and from the
standpoint of productivity.”
Opinion of FDA .
And the government’'s Food Dis
tribution Administration had this
to say after a study of industrial
nutrition:
“Various surveys have shown
that the time taken by workers
for the actual consumption of
their lunches ranges from 10 teo 15
minutes. Those workers who eat
substantial lunches quite general
ly take 15 minutes. .
“The length of the mid-shift
meal period should in every in
stance provide for a minimum
time of 15 minutes for the actual
consumption of food.
“In the great majority of cases
30 minutes can be accepted as the
minimum to which it would be de
sirable to reduce the length of the

Threat Against OPA
Is Voiced By
Foes Of Subsidies
WASHINGTON — (AP)—House
subsidy foes today threatened to
attack the very existence of OPA
unless President Roosevelt drops
his demands for authority to pay
out government funds in order to
hold down retail food prices.,
Chairman Steagall (D.-Ala.) of
the House Banking Committee dis
closed the strategy. Whether it
will be employed depends on
events.
The house may take up ,on
Thursday a bill extending the life
of the Commodity Credit Corpora
tion, including an amendment ban
ning all consumer subsidy pay
ments after this calendar year.
Mr. Roosevelt vetoed such a bill
before. Steagall said that if' the
President takes the same attitude
again, his committee will attach
the prohibition to legislaton ex
tending the life of the Office 'of
Price Administration beyond June
30, 1944, end of the fiscal year.
“You know they want that con
tinued,” said Steagall, referring to
OPA. ;
The swell of criticism against
subsidies continued in the senate
where the Agricultural Committee,
avowedly against them, called in
more than 200 witnesses, including
State Agricultural. Department
heads, and food producers’ spokes
men for their views.
Charles W. Holman, secretary of
the National Cooperative Produc
ers Federation, first witness for
‘the dairy industry, declared that
subsidies are “in themselves
wasteful and inflationary.”
He said im a prepared statement
that subsidy payments not only
must come out of theé pockets of
taxpayers but “they add doubly to
the burden of taxation because ex
pensive administrative costs are
heapepd upon the amount of the
SO | i
Taree factors enter into the
’building of personality: heredity,
!environment, and personal re
sponse. The ‘importance of t}{e
first two we take for granted; they
rigorously limit the control of the
individual over his own life.
As Oscar Ameringer puts it;
“Except that I inherited certain
characteristics from an unkjovn
number of unknown ameestors; was
deeply influenced by persons most
of whom were dead before I was
born, and shaped by circumstances
over which I had no control. I am
a self made man, Life consists not
simply in what' heredity and en
vironment do to us, but in what
we make out of what they do to
us.
One of the clearest illustrations
of this fact .is found in the very
pPlace where its disecovery migh:
seem most difficult, At no" point
do heredity .and environment im
pinge upon us so intimately as in
our own physical organizisms.
Some ills of the bedy, such as ser
tain glandular diseases, and utterly
disrupt the person. We are psysho
physical organisms, ana as
building site and kind of house
that can be built upon it, so the
body limits or expands the possis
bilities of the personality associat=
ed with it. Yet even in ths most
interior impact of inheritance and
circumstance on personal life am
astonishing prevalence of disors
ganized and sprawling personali
ties' Wwith sound bodies, and con
summate personalities with handi
cupped bodies, confronts the ob
server.
Man's inner self is rooted in the
body. To be sure, the personal
faculties~—mind, memory, hope, af
fection, purpose—belong in a realm
unseeable, itangible, non-metric. A
man sees not his frienda but only
the outward integument, the phy
sical mask that at once conceals
and reveals him, A man never sees
himself; no mirror or fluoroscope
can make visible that mysterious
center of psychic activity Whlch‘
is the real person, Yet this inner
self, invisible though it is, is so in-l
terlaced with, depe?dent on, and
influenced by, the “body, that no
discrimination is fine enough to

De Marigny Future
Status Uncertain
Surprise Cancellation
Of Re-Marriage
Brings New Speculation
NASSAU, Bahamas —(&)— New
uncertainties piled up for dapper
Alfred De Marigny today as a sur
prise cancellation of his planned
re-marriage to his pretty wife
Nancy was added to an officiai
invitation to leave the island.
The Rev. Fr. Bonaventure, who
was to have performed the cere
mony, was left waiting at the altar
when the bride and groom failed
to appear,
De Marigny, acquitted last week
of charges that he killed Sir Harry
Oakes, his wealthy father-in-law,
announced yesterday morning he
and his red-haired wife would be
re-married-at 2 p. m. He explained
that their marriage in New York
in 1942 was a civil ceremony.
Father Bonaventure waited at
the church for little over an hour
after the appointed time. Then he
talked to De Marigny on the tele
phone, after which he announced:
“There will be no wedding to
day. He said he is ill.”
Friends of DeMarigny's wife,
however, pdicated she was taken
by surprise by the marriage plans
and wanted more time to think
over the idea. She is Protestant,
and he is Catholic.
There was no anouncement by
De Marigny on further plans sos
the ceremony or what he planned
to do about the *“invitation” by
the governor-in-council to Ileave
the Crown colony.

Nationwide Conspiracy
On Liquor Industry
Is Target For Solons
WASHINGTON — (AP) — Five
senators set out today to pry some
whiskey loose in time for Christ
mas by breaking up what they
called a “nationwide conspiracy”
in the liquor industry.
Chairman Van Nuys (D.-Ind.) of
a Judiciary Subcommittee told re
porters that the very threat of a
congressional investigation already
has led to reports that ‘“we may
expeet the withdrawal of Some
liquor from government ware
houses very soon.”
“If the inquiry ieads to the re
lease before Christmas of some of
the more than £OO million gallons
now stored in government ware
houses,” Van Nuys said, “the gov
ernment should reap a big reward
in taxes and there will be less op

Hull will be the first cabinet
member ever: to: speak befare a
joint session yof Congress, which
wants to hear a first-hand account
of the historic Moscow pact. ¢
Judging from the Secretary’s re
marks to a news conferénce yess=

Unless the American publie
pushes forward the prograim of in
ternational cooberation outlined at
Moscow, Hull said, there will be
no program and each country will
have to go back to fending for “fi‘f;,
