Defense May Be Entering
Lost Stage, Britons Admit

LONDON, May 30 (P,.-BritiSh-
Greek forces in Crete fought with
their back to the wall against grow
ing odds today and informed sources
grimly acknowledged the defense of
the island appeared to be entering
its last desperate stages.
R. A. F. bomberS and long-range
fighters, operating from Egyptian
bases at least $50 miles away, were
reported stabbing at the northern
shores of Crete in an attempt to de-
lay the landing of German REIN
forcements, but military circles said
there was pressing need for still
stronger air support.
German claims that the British
and their Greek allies already were
attempting to flee from the island
went unanswered.
Informed quarters. however. gen.
orally accepted Berlin reports that
Candia-as we'll as Canea and Suda
Bay-were in German hands.
Reported Still Holding Retimo.
British troops were reported still
in possession of Retimo. approx
mately midway between Canea and
Gambia on the northern coast,
though the Germans were said to
be advancing steadily toward the
town after beating off repeated
counterattacks.
Official sources said they had no
confirmation of italian reports that
Fascist troops had landed on Crete,
but declared it probably was true.
The London press took a glum
view of the situation, emphasizing
the lack of British air power and
losses sustained by the Royal Navy
in attempting to block the landing
of Claiborne Axis troops
The British have acknoWl-
edged the loss of three cruisers
and four destroyers and damage
10 other naval craft in Cretan
WatersD
Hard Pressed, Says Paper.
I'VE are hard pressed in Crete"
declared the Daily Express. The |.
Germans had only air power to pit !
against sea power, land power and
Crete patriotism, but they have OBJ
tanned firm foothold on the island
They have taken a heavy toll of
our Warships. They have made it
safe to land even some of the jackal
Italians"
The Daily Herald's military ex-
pert emphasized that possession of
Canea and Suda Bay probably would
make it possible for the Germans to
bring in the modern armament he
knows so we'll how to use, and
our position will be still further
WorSened."
The size of the German air fleet
already based on Crete was en-
phasiZed by R. A. F. reports that a
concentration of more than 100 Nazi
aircraft had been bombed at one
point on the northwest end Of the
island on Tuesday night.
$4,000 Reported in Battle.
Military sources estimated that
$4,000 to 10000 men-roughly half
on each Side-now were engaged in
the fighting ON Crete, which was
described as the fiercest of the war,
with hand-to-hand combatS raging
in many areas.

$1,000 Acres of Bununus

Development by an American
company of nearly $4,000 acres,
10000 of which were planted to
bananas, on Costa Rica's west coast
is said to have cushioned the coun-
try's declining production and to
have given work to thousands In the
last two years.

Exact numbers on both sides have
not been announced but several days
ago the British said they feared
that their forces had become out
numbered by continued landings Of
Nazi troops.

 Tn Los Angeles for brief stop- over while on his way to New Mexico and New Orleans (where he is planning to study other 1n- dian and Creole antique arts with an eye to adapting them to today'S fashions), Picard explained his be- lief in the place real Indian crafts have in the fashions of the future.
 with all the dyeing facilities we have" he said sadly, I've cannot recapture the beautiful native tones and combinations of the rib- bonwork of the Seminoles and Pawnees. Nor can we, without copy ing exactly, reproduce the charm of native Osage beadwork. But why copy? My idea is that we can take the real Indian handiwork, helping the Indians to live by buying 1t at fair prices from them, and com" bine 1t for modern play clothes"
 Early this year Picard was com- miSsioned by the U. s. government to make up a few modern costumes incorporating ancient Indian designs. These were then included in the exhibit of Indian Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
 He designs winter sports clothes for the snow enthusiasts. Holly woods leading ladies have been 50 impressed that they asked Picard to work out Indian themes for their own sportswear. Among these were such well-known names as Norma shearer, Claudette Colbert, Mrs. Daryl Zanuck, Jean Arthur, Mar lene Dietrich and scores of others. SLACK SUIT INSPIRED
 BY SEMINOLE SHIRT
 Two of his most interesting play clothes costumes-a play dress and e slack suit-were photographed, while Picard was in Hollywood, up- on one of the most attractive of the new star crop-brunette Peggy Mor- an, who plays an important part in the comedy, Hello Sucker"
 The slack suit was inspired by the ribbonwork shirts that have been worn for over 200 years by seminoles mad made from e real shirt, cut down
