Britain And Italy Battle Hard
For Mediterranean Control

France. VindsOrs Sent to
Bahamas.

Germany and Italy this week
concentrated on their respective
task to battle England with Italy
determined to concentrate on the
Mediterranean, and the front
drive to be left to the Nazi.
Those in close touch with their
plans pointed out that the two
axis allies intend to blockade the
British Isle; break Britain's en-
pire contacts and defeat her "at
home and on the SEES and in i'm
perial territories to the extent
necessary to end the war.
~4ta1y and Britain came to sharp
clashes yesterday on both the sea
and air in a battle for the vital
control of the Suez-Gibraltar
routes. Both sides claim success.
Germany continues her spasmo-
die attacks on England apparent
1y waiting until an appointed
time for their biggest raid.
Conditions in Rumania remain
unsettled. And reports had it yes
terday that Germany and Italy
were going to call on Rumania to
give up a slice of Pennsylvania to
satisfy the hunger Of Hungary.
Hungary now has 100000 men
modified near the Rumanian
front, ready for action. What Rus
sia's attitude about a donation to
Hungary remains to be seen.
One of the wars greatest cas-
ualties occurred yesterday when
stricken France ceased to be a
democracy. Henry Marshall Pc
tain was given unrestricted pow
er to write a new totalitarian con-
stitution. Petain is expected to
emerge as a figure-head ruler.
Dispatches from Geneva said
France had little or no choice in
the matter and that the only hope
for an honorable peace law is in
adopting a new constitution.
Conversation in London and
America turned to the Duke of
Windsor, who has been named
sgovernor and commander-in-
chief of the Bahamas, it was an
nounced Tuesday, after repor-
ted dispute with the British gov
eminent over his desire to return
to England with his American
born duchess.
Ruler of an empire of 100000
900 subjects less than four years
ago, the 46-year-old duke will
preside over a little group of Bri-
fish islands off the Florida coast
having $4,000 inhabitants and de-
pendent largely upon tourists and
international society for its live
lihood.
By naming the duke to the sine
cure at Nassau, a post usually
Rssed to reward retired British
Egenerals for years of service, the
government will keep Edward in

ward situation over hostility in
Righ British circles toward his
duchess, the former Wallis War

Iperial Valley Saturday in survey
OF the crop situation.
Figures received at the offices of
B. A. Harrigan, county agricultural
commissioner, revealed that the car
rot acreage would show a slight
increase and that the lettuce acreage
would show rather heavy boost.
Total acreage of peas and toma-
toes in the valley were expected to
equal last years paintings. Harrigan
said. Some tomato acreage had to
be replanted in the northend be-
cause of rain and worm damage,
Harrigan said.
Increases in sugar beet and flax
acreages were also certain, Harri-
gan said, as reports from growers
were complete. Some sugar beet
paintings are already in. Hoppers
have bothered early paintings to
some extent
Flax paintings are expected to
start by Oct. Is.
Grapefruit shipments were ex-
pected to start within two weeks
Harrigan declared, as Phoenix an
