A Chinese source here said his

proposed expansion of commercial

suit, bomber and other combat pi-
lots were being sought to fly trans

transport flying in China is "haz-

was quoted as saying the underpass
would benefit Ell Centro alone,
would not help the farmers, and
therefore he was opposed to it.
Highway Commissioner Bert
Vaughn of Jacumba said the COM
mission members apparently re-
manned in favor OF the construc-
ton of the underpass at Main street
because it was the only place that
an underpass will benefit traffic.
While not ideal, they were quoted
as saying, it was the best available
place for it.
The commission took no action
on the underpass matter, Vaughn
said. after the delegation left.
The accepted state budget includ-
ed an item of $37O,0OO for under

to one in favor of the Main street
site for the underpass and declared
they were anxious for work to

freeing both belligerents for a new
head-on clash possibly for possess

The month-old Iraqi flare-up was
suffering out.
Pro-Nazi Premier Rashid Ali Al
Gallant had fled with his chief
aides over the border into Iran
(Persia). The Iraqi troops he left
behind sued for and received an
armistice and the British were
marching into Baghdad
This left only fairly small nest
of German technicians and air force
personnel for the British to drive
out of the Mosul oil region where
the Nazis have installed themselves
CRETE LOST
In Crete the fighting also was IN
it's final stages. The Germans had
won control of virtually the whole
northern coast of the island and
were smashing hard to the south
where battle-weary British and
Greek forces were assembling in
the small harbors hoping to be
evacuated by sea-
The Royal air force reported
from Cairo that its planes had met
in large scale combat with NaZi
air formations over the eastern
Mediterranean, shooting down two
German planes and damaging 9TH
ers. The RAF also carried out very
heavy attacks on the Dodecanese
islands where the luftwaffe has
established bases.
The British victory in Iraq offset,
in part at least, the imminent COM
pletion of the Nazi conquest OF
Crete
London reported that the Iraqi
forces of the pro- Nazi regent Rashid
Ali Al-Gailani have sued for an
armistice and ceased resistance.
LEADER FLEES
Rashid, accompanied By a small
group of his closest advisers, fled
to Tehran, Iran, and the fight for
Iraq seemed to be about over except
for guerilla fighting.
There has been no indication that
the small German force in the Mo-
sui region is in sufficient strength
to hold out long against the Brit
ish although with the end of the
Crete campaign the Germans may
attempt to rush in strong air REIN
forcements, via Syria.
However, it was clear that the
British in the nick of time have
effectively regained the upper hand
in Iraq and it seemed that they

The small food cargo aboard the

the feasibility of shipping colo
storage, eggs and cheese by boats

Because such food is essential to
