Two Official Notes.
Earlier today, two new official
notes relative to the Wednesday
bombing disclosed an italian warship
had been in Tunisian waters, but
In accordance with The Hague con-
vention.
The notes said the British air at
hack Wednesday on Sfax could not
be justified by "the presence of a
belligerent torpedo boat which only
passed several hours in Tunisian
territorial waters" because a 18th
Hague convention article permitted
belligerent warships to stay three
times "a hours" in neutral ports.
The notes also mentioned the
xpresence of Italian merchant ships"
h the plural for the first time.
They said the chick column Of
unoke" reported by the British to
have been seen rising from bombed
ship was due to burning phosphate
hi the cargo aboard the French ves-
vel, Rabelais, not to exploding mu-
nitions on an italian freighter.

Crete
(Continued From First Page.)

"the first group of fugitive SOL
diers" already had reached Egypt.
(The British Broadcasting
Corp, in a broadcast picked up
In New York, also referred to
British soldiers and airmen who
have returned to Egypt from
Crete.D
The spokesman said that Iera-
petra, on the south shore near the
east end of the island, was the only
port the defenders could use for a
large scale evacuation. Even this,
he added, is so choked with sand by
long disuse that no large ships would
be able to enter.
"They cannot all escape" he de-
clared grimly.
The prevailing opinion of the press
and in military and political circles
was that the occupation of Crete had
brought into German hands "a key
position between Europe, Asia Minor
and Africa"
The Boersen Zeitung declared fat
ly that Crete will bs "a jumping on

base for an attack on Suez," and
military spokesmen said that once
Crete was established firmly as a
German air and naval base North
Africa, Egypt and the Suez Canal
are in the danger zone"
They pointed out that Stukas can
reach the Suez Canal from Crete in
about two hours and can get to Alex
andria and Tobruk even more
quickly.
One spokesman said the British
had constructed a series of strong
Notifications on Crete in the last 10
months, especially around Canea,
making it virtually impossible to at
tack that town from land or by sea
through Suda Bay.
But" he added. 'the British ap-
parently didn't believe we could take
Crete by air"

Wheat Growers Vote
In First National Test
OF Market Quotas
A.A.A. OfficiuIs Confident
Of Programs Approval
In BoIIoting Today
By the Associated Press.


The Federal farm program met its
first Nationwide test today in
grower referendum on whether the
Government should be granted au-
thority to tell farmers how much
wheat they might market this year.
Upward of 100000 producers in 81
wheat-growing States were ex-
pected to cast secret ballots at poll
ing places established in school,
houses, courthouses, other public
buildings and rural homes by farmer
committeeman.
They marked "yes" or mo" to
the question of whether they favored
marketing quotas designed to keep
surplus production of this years
bumper wheat crop off the market
until it is needed. The favorable
vote of at least two-thirdS of those
voting is required to make the quotas
operative.
Confident of Approval.
Offlcials of the Agricultural Ad-
Justment Administration expressed
confidence that the marketing con-
troll proposal would be approved.
This confidence was based on the
fact that, under crop-control Iegis-
lation, price-supporting Government
loans must be withheld in the event
quotas are turned down.
Under recently-approved legisla-
ton, this years basic wheat loan
rate would be about 81 cents bushel,
or about Is cents more than last
years rate. Officials declared that
without the loan program, wheat
prices could be expected to drop IS
cents from the present near-dollar
level
Supply for Two Years.
Quotas on wheat were proposed
for the first time this year because
the United States has a prospective
supply sufficient to meet its needs
for nearly two years. Loss of export
markets has contributed to a near
record surplus of old wheat.
Polling places will open and close
in accordance with local laws or
customs regarding regular elections.
Returns will be made public as soon
as tabulated after the polls close.
Farms with IS acres or less of
wheat or with normal production of
less than 200 bushels on the acreage
planted to wheat would be exempted
from quotas. Quotas of other farms
would be the amount of wheat pro-
duced on their A. A. A. planting
allotments. Grain sold from excess
acreages would be subject to a
penalty tax at the rate of half the
wheat loan rate.

Fighting Still Going On
Around Condio, British Say

LONDON, May 81 (P).-BrltOnS
steeled themselves today for news
Of disaster-the loss of Crete-but
there was little definite informa-
ton in London as to the fate of the
British-G defenders of that
vital little island.
Authoritative quarters conceded
the situation in Crete was deli
cate" but declared that whatever
happens, our course there has been
justified"
Fierce fighting still was said to be
going on around Gambia, the is
lands largest city, which the British
maintain they still hold despite Ger
man claims that it is in Nazi hands.
tThe German high command
reported yesterday that Gambia
had fallen to Nazi forces Thurs
day.
Silent on Withdrawal.
All sources here brushed aside
questions about possible British
withdrawal from Crete. which Prime
Minister Churchill said May 7 would
be defended ito the death"
There was increased speculation
as to possible withdrawal, however,
after the British Broadcasting Corp.
broadcast references to British
soldiers and airmen who have re-
turned to Egypt from Crete"
Some sources said, however, this
might only have been reference to
men engaged in normal movements
between Crete and Egypt.
(The German wireless also
mentioned British Withdrawals
and said 1.-The first group of fugi-
tive soldiers" had reached EgyptD
The morning papers in London
printed reports of heavy fighting in
Crete, beside German claims that
British resistance had collapsed and
that operations were drawing to
close"
Two Royal Air Force Near East
communiques issued yesterday and
last night pointedly omitted refer
ences to Crete, except to mention
patrols over the Mediterranean be-
tween North Africa and the embat-
tied island The communicates
stirred speculation as to whether all
air attacks on the Germans on Crete
had ceased.
There also was fear in London
that the Axis forces finally had sue
ceeded in breaking through with
sea-borne troops, since there was no
word of any recent naval operations
around Crete.
The London press took a dark view
of the situation but paid tribute to
the resistance offered by British
forces. The Times said:
"The outlook in Crete has become
unpromising. ." This struggle
has now ragged IL days. 1t is greatly
to be doubted whether the enemy
expected it to last so long and he
must be eager to see it decided. -
THE imperial forces and their
Greek allies have put up one of the
most astonishing and inspiring
fights yet witnessed in this war.
It cannot be doubted that many les
sons have been learned in this small
campaign"
Summing up these lessons, the
London Evening Standard COM
mented last night:
"Air-borne troops reveal that they
have the capacity to translate them
selves from an advance guard into
an occupying force. The glider, the
troop-carrying airplane and the
parachutist now permit the ranging
choice of strategy once thought to
be the perquisite of naval power.
Since we are going to have the
biggest air force in the world, we
also must resolve to extort from the
new instrument the last ounce Of
power"

ton. Another cure is cooperation
of the public in eliminating need
less clamor, and successful prose-
cution of Police Supt. Browns an
nounced campaign of strict anti
noise law enforcement.
According to Maj. Brown, all of

make good use of the latter solution.

2. No person shall drive a motor
vehicle without a muff1er in good

alton. Muffler cutouts are pro-
hibited.

To make his findings and recon-
mendations, the Chief Executive
advised Mr.. Ickes to consult not
only public sources but industry
sources ito aid them in shaping
their policies and operations.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote that he is
informing all other Federal agencies
having functions relating to the
petroleum problem to make avail
able to the co-ordinator their in
formation and advice. and to keep
him constantly in touch with de-
velopments in this field. Neces-

Appellate Tribunals
In Grievances Limited
To Agency Members
Controller Generals
Ruling Holds TroveI
Allowances Permitted

Appellate tribunals created under
the Presidents order Of June "a
1888. to hear employe grievances
must draw their membership en-
tirely from the agency where the
complaint originates. under a deci-
sion by Controller General Lindsay
c. Warren.
The decision. made public yester-
day, went to the Federal Security
Agency which raised several queS-
tions in connection with the eStab-
llshment of appeals procedure for
grievances of a general nature,
which is distinct from that provided
for efficiency rating appeals.
The Controller General said also
that employees seeking adjustment
of grievances, and other principals
in these cases, such as witnesses and
employe representatives, are en-
titled to collect travel allowances
from the Government where travel
is necessary. These allowances,
however are limited to persons from
the agencies involved in each in
stance.
The Federal Security Agency at
present sets up three-member hear
ing committees to adjust disputes,
and under the regulations in ef-
feet outsiders may be brought in to
serve. This, the Controller General
said, is prohibited by law en-
acted in 1909. For the same reason,
travel allowances also are denied
to other principals brought into a
case from the outside.
