those who had followed the course
Of the invasion of Greece. The Brit
ish claimed that most Of its army in
Greece had been taken back to
Egypt, there to rejoin the army of
the Nile. and to be rearmed from
new supplies, part Of which had
come from the United States.
While it was known that some
forces got into Crete, and that the
Greeks salvaged considerable por-
tons of one of its armies. the guam
tity was largely a matter of guess
work.
Most of the troops who got back
to Egypt we're Australians and Brit
ish, hence most observers believed
there was probably about one divi-
sion of New Zealanders in Crete.
and possibly the same number of
British, and perhaps two or three
times that number of Greeks.
British dispatches admitted prac-
tically complete control of the air
by the Germans over Crete. and
hence it was considered still more
likely that the Germans, who had
no particular need of Crete. might
be trying the attack to test out in
actual warfare what the parachut-
lists could do when well-supported
from aloft.

PLANES:
And Months

Statistical proof that thousands Of
planes, like Rome, can't be built in
a day was given by Admiral Tow
ers, who reported to Secretary Of
Navy Knox that in the past 10
months the navy has gained 1904
planes of all types.
The navy now has 3,476 planes Of
all types. including trainers, and
this compared with the British esti-
mate that Germany was operating
about 1000 to 5000 planes in the
Battle of Crete alone. not counting
those in use in other theaters of the
war.
1t also was significant that Ad-
miral Towers report to MIR. Knox
was that the navy already is ex-
periencing a shortage Of pilots,
which compared with Germany's
reported loo, 900 pilots trained be-
fore the war started. In fact, it was
this pilot training program which
first called the attention Of the world
to Germany's rebirth as a military
power in spite Of the restrictive eff
forts Of the Treaty of Versailles.
OF the 1904 planes which the navy
has added to her forces, only about
600 of them are combat types, Ad-
miral Towers revealed.
The goal of 10000 fighting planes
for the American army and navy
combined was. therefore, envisioned
as far in the future, Admiral Towers
revealing that not until January,
1912. will the existing shortage of
pilots be relieved. Not until then will
the number of pilots begin to catch
up with the number of planes.

LATIN ADMlRALS

The state department scored a
ten-strike when it finally persuaded
the navy to invite the chiefs of
Latin American navies to visit the
United States. The junket definitely
carried weight. For the United
States navy. without any ifs, ands
or butts. is the most powerful in the
world. and the thing that counts in
South America today is the belief
that this country can really ward
off Nazi invasion.
Behind the scenes, the mar who
helped most to dress the stage for
Latin American admirals was John.
ny Thomson, better known for his
prolific pen portraits of the marines
(Red Pants. Fix Bayonets, Jeb
Stuart, Salt Winds and Cobb Dust).
Thomson. now a colonel in the
marines. had served in Latin Amer.
lea. knew the importance Of the ad.
mirals' visit. Other U. S. brass hats
didn't. Admiral Harold Stark, chief
Of naval operations, fumed and fret
ted. only wanted to show the Good
Neighbors a few East coast stations.
At this point Johnny Thomson re-
marked: This visit is giving you a
pain in the neck. How about letting
me take it over?"
Thomson insisted that the trip
was important enough to do it right,
demanded more entertainment
money from the White House and
got it. At first he worked on the
idea of meeting the admirals with
U. S. cruisers at Barranquiua. Co.
lombia, taking them out to the mid.
Atlantic to view the U. S. naval pa.
troll at work. This was given up
as too long. and a coast-to-coast in
spection Of U. S. naval stations was
substituted.

DRAFT:
4 Ne,U Plan

Pennsylvania called out in excess
of $4,000 young men in the draft,
trying out what was called a new
plan" aimed to give the selectee a
break"
The plan was this. The 10, 900
were to be called out. and immedi-
ately given a searching examina-
ton along all lines, including their
final medical examination by the
army doctors.
Then they we're to be returned to
their homes and jobs. those who
were eligible to army life being
placed on call in from 10 to 80 days,
and the rest of them to return to
their normal jobs, secure in the
knowledge that they would not be
called.
This was aimed to remove much
of the uncertainty which grew out of
the previous method of selective
service picking. DR.. William
Mather Lewis. selective service d.
rector Of Pennsylvania. said he was
advised that if the experiment
proved a success there, it would be
applied to the entire nation.
At the same time President Roose-
welt put into being the OCD. or Of

VICHY:
4 Turning Point

The flop of Vichy strongly into the
Nazi encampment proved likely to
prove a turning-point as to Ameri-
cas- entry into the war. For one
thing, it Topped n popular poll on
conveys from a minority to a ma
jority. and the administration in
Washington, which had been &C
cused in some quarters of watching
these polls before acting, promptly
announced that the convoy question
has practically been settled.
President Roosevelt, it was said,
does not like the word conveys, and
is more in favor of the navy taking
over portions of the Atlantic and Pa
ciic, eve as far as the Red Sea,
for instance, and helping to create
protective lanes through which aid
to-Britain ships could move safely.
This is the method American ship
ping experts have liked from the
start. but it was significant that
Americas OUR was charted along
these lines the day after the polls
reported So per cent in favor of con-
voying and Al per CEN opposed and
the other 7 per cent undecided"
Public attention then turned to
Vichy, and Secretary Hull warned
France that she would have to give
this country a plain and honest
statement of just what her collabo-
ration with Germany would consist
Of before France could hope to re-
store Franco-American relations to
a state of amity.
This attitude was indeed a far cry
from the days of 1917 and 1918. and

Hull's strong declaration came at
the same time when it was an.

were bottled up. There was some
disquiet over the report that these

But if they were poised for an at.

it was likely that there would be

sphere of influence"

CRETE:
An Air Test

The big island of Crete, which
Prime Minister Churchill said would
be defended Ito the death by an
army composed of General Frey
berg and New Zealand, British and
Greek troops under his command
suddenly became the center Of the
war when a dramatic and unexpect-
ed invasion of the island vas made
by air-borne Nazi troops.
There err some early reports
that the Germans yer coming also
in normal transports, but there was
little doubt that the air test was pre-
eminent, and that the world was wit
Messing the first large-scale such en-
deavor since the days Of the inva-
sion Of Norway, and Of the Low
Countries, particularly Holland.
Britain reported that the first $500
soldiers who landed in chutes were
wearing the New Zealand uniform,
and coldly announced that they
could expect to be shot" All of
them, it was quickly reported, were
either killed or rounded up rapidly.
Germany as promptly retorted
that if any Of the parachutists were
treated as spies and shot, Germany
would reply ten to one in kind.
But the British and Greeks didn't
have long to wait or long to con-
template what to do with the first
$500.
BY the second morning of the in
vasion the British radio was re-
porting that the Nazi invasion force
was 1000, and on the second after
noon liked this figure to 1880.
This brought the German force to
at least one full division, and a good
way into the second division. And
the British quickly estimated that
this figure meant that the Germans
had from 1000 to 5000 airplanes on
duty in southern Greece.
The usual silence and mystery as
to what actually was transpiring inn
mediately was clamped down by the
British ministry of information.
which c%ontented itself with issuing
such g%eneralities as 1.-The situation
is in hand" leaving it up to the
Germans to give the world what in
formation could be Cleaned.
The German claims, as usual,
we're broad, the Nazis asserting that
many important points had been
captured, and that many British
planes had been destroyed ION the
ground"
British sources seemed willing to
admit that the Germans had utter
mastery Of the air, but General
Freyberg said that every hilltop had
its sentinel in Crete, that an elabo-
rate method of signaling had been
worked out, and that even those
parachutists who arrived at night
were promptly spotted, reported and
given action from the ground forces.
Neutral observers, however. point
ed out that in order to effect large
scale landing Of troops who. were
not parachutists, the Germans must
have obtained at least temporary
control of landing fields, or must be
using emergency fields.
British reports told of many trans
port planes shot down with their
cargoes of men, both on the island
and into the waters surrounding it.
However, they also told of huge.
unwieldy transport planes towing
numbers of elders loaded with men
and munitions, a mode Of transpor-
tation not reported in Wholesale use
before.
How large the force IN Crete was
remained a military secret Of the
Greeks and the British, though there
was considerable figuring done by

BOMBER OUTPUT

OCuADGn oO1TO1
Though not announced by the
White House, two impelling factors
were behind the Presidents sensa-
tional letter to Secretary Stimson
asking for al immediate increase in
the monthly output Of bombers.
One was the obvious need of pro-
viding Britain with more and big
ger planes to carry the offensive to
Germany. Second. known only to
inside authorities. was Intelligence
information that the Nazis are in
creasing the bomber force of their
Luftwaffe. The reports are that the
German air force now consists Of
the following:
Six main air fleets, each compris-
ing 1000 bombers, 625 fighters and
rs reconnaissance planes, a total of
10000. Also there is an independent
air unit of 2,750 planes, a naval air
service of 1000. an operational train
ing unit Of $50. and a transport or
%ganization of $500 planes. In addi-
ton to these first-line ships, is a
reserve of $4,000 others, plus 5000
trainers and transports.
Grand total: About IS, 900 planes.
German airplane production ca
pacity is estimated at 5000 planes a
month, including about 500 bombers.
However. except for bombers, Ger
many is not o using her full pro-
duction capacity as she doesn't need
that many new planes a month.
Nazi March production is estimat-
ed at 1900 ships of all types, but
only 1000 in April. In May. how
ever, Intelligence reports r that
Nazi plane production is being
stepped up to replace Balkan and
North African losses.
Reports r vague about what the
Nazis are doing with the nine gov
eminent and eleven private aircraft
plants in France. most of them 10.
Gated in the occupied zone; also re.
garding the eight Dutch factories,
including the Fokker works, and the
seventeen Belgian plants.
These plants have large potential
producing capacity. but best infor'
nation is that the Nazis are strip.
ping them of their machine tools
and other equipment. How much
this will boost the Nazis' 5000 planes
a month is only a guess.
U. s. Goal.
Weakest link in German plane
production is aluminium. From cap.
tured planes, the British estimate
that the Nazis use about 500 pounds
Of this vital metal per ship. The
American average is 5000 pounds.
The u%ndisclosed bomber goal OF
1941 to which Roosevelt referred ir
his letter to Stimson, is 600 a month
The four new assembly plants ir
Omaha. Tulsa. Kansas City anc
Fort Worth should produce about
300 bombers a month. To double
their output it will be necessary to
build and equip at least as many
new plants. plus taking over an in.
creased ratio Of automobile and 9th.
er plant facilities to turn out the nee
essary parts.
The letter which OPM Director
General Knudsen sent auto makers
that they will have to hold down
their 1912 car production to 78.5 per
cent Of this years output. is con
sidered only a beginning. Insiders
predict that there will be another
big cut o
