London also reports effective hits
on German positions in northern
France and southern Norway.
Hitler himself in his Sunday ad-
dress to his Reichstag did not revert
to the subject of invasion of Eng
land, and many begin to believe that
no other form than that of lombard
ments may become necessary from
his viewpoint. But, as usual, nothing
definite is known about his plans,
and even if he did say something
about what he had in mind, it would
not necessarily follow that he would
be able to carry out his plans.

around Tobruk in the northeastern
corner of Libya. On Monday it was
reported that the British had occu-
pied the city, but that was denied
from Berlin; judging from some de-
tails that fit together, it would seem
not unlikely that the city will have
fallen when these lines are being
read.
Lively activities also are reported
from the Egyptian side of the border,
and it is quite clear that the British
are doing their utmost to prevent
a German penetration of Egypt. For
should that succeed, the Suez canal
would be in greater danger than ever.
That canal lost, the position of the
British empire would be seriously
weakened.

British Move
Not Clear
English hopes f o
Stabilized Battle Front
In Balkans Shattered,
However.
BY KIRK l..

ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)
OmInOuS word OF a British retire-
ment on the main fighting front in
the Balkans shattered hopes IN Eng
land that the battle inc had been
stabilized.
The extent and purpose Of the
withdrawal to the new positions was
not clear as this was written. There
was strong indication, however. that
it was made in accordance with
previous plans. Apparently it was
not forced by German or Italian
successes in cracking important
hinges of the defensive arch the
allies are endeaVoring to establish
for the safeguarding of the Greek
peninsula from the Aegean to the
.Adriatic.
Meaning Is Hidden.
That the withdrawal would bring
claims from the naZiS that their
arch foes were giving up the strug-
gle in Greece was TO be expected.
German press dispatches went even
further, stating that the b. f. F.
already had started to leave the
country. Since confirmation of this
was not Immediately forthcoming,
it remained to be seen whether the
allies were doing anything more
than to contract their defensive
front to conserve manpoWer and
shorten communication lines in
preparation for more furious Ger
man blows.
The British retreat in Greece,
however, came at a time when
Prime Minister ChuWchill'S war
management was under fire at home
because Of an increasingly critical
situation in North Africa. Just how
grave the peril to British control
Of the Suez Canal may be, due to
the n~azi-fasCist sweep clear across
into Egypt, is not fully dis
cerniblc. It seems clear. however.
that British moves from day to day
or hour to hour on both the Balkan
and the North African fronts come
under the stern rule announced to
parliament by Churchill last week.
Necessity to Rule.
He said then, speaking Of the
Libyan retreat, that neither Bri-
fish prestige nor home morale rea-
sons would govern; that military
necessity alone would determine.
Despite a surprise nazi-fascist sweep
around a British force at Tobruk in
Ljbya, md its advance beyond the
Libyan border into Egypt, there is
nothing to prove that a movement
to shift British forces back from
Greece to the African storm center
is in prospect.
The British high command APP
pears still to be convinced that the
Libyan-Egyptian campaign is a nazi-
fascist diversion operation. That it
is being sustained under extreme
difficulties is indicated by British
reports that gasoline and oil for its
armored spearhead are being brought
by air.
There is still $50 miles Of more
difficult terrain ahead Of the Ger
manhattan advance guard at the
Egyptian border before it makes con-
tact with the old main British de-
tense system at Matruh. 1t is a
question whether the presumably
light forces which s~idestepped the
British at Tobruk to reach the
Egyptian border can risk a further
eastward dash while any formidable
British units remain in its rear, as
at Tobr,,l-

COORDINATOR is
GIVEN SPECIFIC
WORK TO BE DONE

These are the recommendations
applied to the oil industry by
President Roosevelt in the appoint
ment of Secretary Ickes as CO.
ordinator:
1. THE proper development pro-
duction, and utilization of those
reserves of crude oils and natural
gas that are of strategic impor-
lance both in quality and location.
2. elimination or reduction of
cross hauling of petroleum and its
products and the development OF
transportation facilities and of
methods by which more efficient
use can be made of existing trans
portation and storage facilities.
3. Balancing refining operations
to secure the maximum yields of
specific products with full consid-
Grafton for requirements, the most
economical use of the raw mate
rails and efficiency of production
and distribution.
4. "The elimination of the drill
ing of unnecessary wells in proven
fields and of other unnecessary ac-
tlvities and equipment"

The mill. called the Mephisto

FAVORS WALL STREET

NEW Nomination to the
securities and exchange commission
of 36-year-old Ganson Purcell, first
career man to rise to the top from
the ranks of the governments mar
ket police force, may foreshadow
closer cooperation between Wash

Not since the appointment of Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, a Wall street man
and later ambassador to London,
to the commission has a presiden-
tial choice met such a generally
ready acceptance from the men in
the securities business.
Wall street worked with the boy
ish-looking, bespectacled young law

trading and exchange division of
the commission, a job which re-
quired much complicated technical
knowledge of the operations of Sc
curities markets.
