Churchill Faces Bitterest OF
Criticism; Must Explain Why
Units We're Defeated In Crete
CBx Associnted Prensl

LONDON, June 5.-Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill sometime
this week will go before parlia-
ment to explain the defeat of His
Majesty's troops in Crete, and
probably to face the bitterest
criticism hurled at his govern
ment in this war.
Anger over the Crete debacle
has been mounting steadily in re-
cent days as more information
comes in, with the influential
London Daily Mail playing an i'm
portant part in the demands for a
full explanation.
The defeat at Crete, according
to the London paper, dates back
as far as six months, when efforts
to fortify the island were neg
lected or carelessly carried out.
Attacks on the Churchill gov
ernment's conduct of the war
were launched from a new source
today, as well, when Australian
war ministers announced they

BILL TO SEIZE

POSITION
fnx Assoctated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June S.
President Roosevelt, still holding
on his desk the measure which
will permit the United States to
seize and transfer to Great Brit
ain 100 foreign vessels in Ameri-
can ports, today was believed to
be waiting for completion of pa
pers disposing of the ships before
signing the seizure measure.
American ship lines have been
asked to contribute about go
more vessel which, with the 100
to be seized, will make up the
2,000,000-ton shipping pool desir-
ed by Great Britain.
With the tanker shortage be-
coming acute, meanwhile, Harold
Ickes, recently appointed oil
car, is expected tonight or to-
morrow to announce plan for
transportation of oil supplies
from western fields to the east
coast.

would vote on a demand for guar
antees from England that Aus
tralian soldiers will not again be
sent into action without the as
snrance of adequate air support.
The Australian war council
meets tomorrow, and some such
demand is expected. OF the 5000
British troops admitted left in
Crete at the final evacuation,
about $500 were Australians.
Newspapers in London con-
tinued today to call for complete
re-study of England's defense on
the basis of the Crete invasion.
Particularly, the papers said, it
must be sure that airdromes are
equipped with mines so they may
be destroyed if they are to be
abandoned.
Reports from Crete indicate the
British frequently were driven
away from airdromes by para
chute troops, leaving the fields
,undamaged for use by German
transport planes.

WOULD GIVE ROAD
OVER TO CONVOYS
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED TO
MOTORISTS ON MILITARY
TRAFFIC

TAMPA, June 5.-FNS) The
first set of instructions for motor
lists who meet motorized military
conveys on the highways was is
sued last week by the South Flor
ida Motor Club. 1880. =
The rules, manager Stuart B.
Wright said, follow conferences
between motor club officials and
the War Department and are made
public for the benefit of all who
use the highway.
No attempt should be made to
pass military conveys in cities
where they usually will have
motorcycle police escorts carry
ing them through stop lights and
clearing traffic along their route,
suggestions from the War Depart
ment read. In such cases the
motorist should pull to the side Of
the road or curb and accord the
convoy the same right-of-way
that would ordinarily be shown
the fire department or an ambu-
lance.
In the open roads outside the
city limits, convoys not on urgent
schedules usually travel with suf-
ficient space between vehicles to
permit private motorist to pass
with safety, but it is pointed out
that caution should be observed at
all times and that common cour-
tesy and rules of the road should
be maintained, no passing on hills
and curves and with the overtak-
ing car responsible.
