All Geniles Are Ordered Out
of Jewish Quarter Around
Waterloo Square

AMSTERDAM, (Via Berlin), Feb.
13.-R-German authorities ordered
all Gentiles III of the old Jewish
quarter of Amsterdam around Water
loo Square today, raising the posi-
bility of a moated ghetto of 50,000 in.
habitants.
The German order, it was stated,
was the result of street fighting in
which Dutch Nazis and armed oppon-
ents from Waterloo Square clashed
on February 9, and OF a series of
drubbings which the Jews gave Nazis
in that district in the ensuing two
days. Nazi shop windows were
smashed in the rioting.
It is estimated that about half of
Amsterdam's 100, 900 Jews live in the
Waterloo Square district. The popu.
lation of Amsterdam is about $780,
600. Traffic to and from the Water
loo Square district can be controlled
by raising or lowering canal draw
bridges.
A communique from the occupa-
ton authorities said that disorders
broke out following a training
march of the Nazis on Sunday and
that several combatants as well as
members of the Amsterdam police
force were wounded.
On the following day, the commu-
nique added, 10 groups of young
Jews attacked Nazis who lived in the
Waterloo Square neighborhood. They
had various weapons. Some Of those
attacked were seriously injured, the
~communique said, and some shops
were demolished.

YourFederal Income Tax
Capital Gains And Losses

The term capital assets" is de-
fined as the property held by the
taxpayer whether or not connect
ed with his trade or business), but
does not include stock in trade of
the taxpayer or property of a kind
which would properly be included
in the inventory of the taxpayer
if on hand at the close of the
taxable year, or property held by
the taxpayer primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course
Of his trade or business, or prop
erty, used in the trade or bust
ness, Of a character which is SUBJ
ject to the allowance for deprecia-
ton.
Capital gains and losses are
classified as 'short-term" (appli-
cable to capital assets held for 10
months or less) and '1ong-term''
applicable to capital assets held
for more than 10 months). Such
gains and losses are taken into
consideration in the percentages
shown on the return, based upon
the period of time during which
the assets we're held. /.
Short-term capital losses are al
lowable only to the extent of short
term capital gains. However, any
net short-term capital loss mot in
excess of the met income for the
taxable year, may be carried over
to the succeeding year and applied
against the short-term capita!
gains not already offset by short
term capital losses in such year.
The carry-over is restricted to one
year.
In the case of a net long-term
capital gain or loss, an alternative
tax is imposed with respect to a
gain if such tax is less than the
normal tax and surtax on net in
come, and in the event of a loss,
such alternative tax is imposed if
greater than the normal tax and
surtax on net income. Where a
taxpayer derives a net long-term
capital gain and computes his tax

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June s.
Some of the British Navy officers
who directed the removal Of more
than $1,000 imperial and Greek
troops from Crete expressed the
opinion today that Germany must,
on the basis of what happened on
the island, devise other means of
invasion before attempting to in
wade Britain.
Nazi efforts to land sea-borne
troops failed, the officers said, in
spite of the fact that Great Brit
aims nearest naval base was more
than 400 miles from Eastern Crete.
British Warships broke up every
large-scale effort by the Germans to
send transports and countless
fishing boats loaded with soliiers
from the Greek mainland. Even
with complete mastery of the air,
the Germans failed to provide the
protection necessary to land men
and supplies, the officers said.
10000 Estimated Drowned.
1t was estimated reliably here
that about 10000 Gemans drowned
when the ships carrying them were
smashed. One convoy alone was
said to have gone down carrying
about 10000 men, and scores of
fishing boats each loaded with at
least 100 Germans were destroyed
during the past fortnight in opera
tionS around Crete.
saw most of the evacuated
troops on their arrival in Egypt. A
steady stream of men poured into
this country aboard cruisers and
destroyerS. One squadron landed
1000 men; another, including the
Australian cruiser Perth, brought
nearly 5000.
All the men told the same story:
THE whole battle would have been
different if we had air fighter pro-
lection"
The r. A. F. Withdrew almost a
week before heavy German forces
forced the British to quit the island.
The R. A. F. said the few airports
at Crete made operations by fighter
units impossible.
Captain Tells Story.
When I went aboard the Perth,
which embarked 1900 soldiers in
Southern Crete the night of May
%, the captain told me this story:
I'VE moved in after nightfall and
put three gangways down and got
300 aboard in the first hour.
These dead-tired soldiers, many
of them wounded and bleeding
reached the embarkation point after
long, hard trekking across Cretan
mountains, hiding in caves, gullies,
shrubbery or anywhere they could
to try escape the constant hail of
Nazi bombs. Some soldiers literally
had to crawl all the way to the
coast for Y hours, while some rear

was completed.
Bombed by Germans.
"These men went through COM
plete hell day and night. The
Germans bombed everything that
moved.
Many of these soldiers told us
they hadn't seen a single British
plane for days. They just were
bombed constantly as the Germans
turned all Crete into hell on earth.
Nearly every soldier, once he
reached this cruiser, simply fell fiat
out upon the deck"
A young British marine firing the
last anti-aircraft gun in action at
Canea, capital of Crete, brought
down % German bombers before the
British were forced to withdraw, one
of his comrades said on his arrival
yesterday from the Nazi-conquered
island.
The gunner, Lance Corpl. Thomas
Neal, %, now is missing with five
other members of the last marine
detachment to leave Crete.
Pvt. Patrick Mohoney of Liver
pool, who operated the searchlight
near the gun position, told how
Corpl. Neal sang and shouted de-
fiance at swarmS of Stuka bombers
as he pumped hundreds of 2-inch
shells from a BoforS gun into the
attackers.
From the moment the Germans
started the attack on Canea with
heavy bombing and machine gun
ning," Pvt. Mohoney related, Meal,
with three companions helping op-
crate the gun and two others pass
ing ammunition, fired almost con-
tinuously.
Still Firing May ~.
Meals gun was still firing on May
27, the day the last of us cleared
out of Canea. I don't know whether
he got away alive.
Each time the group Of Nazi dive
bombers came over, Neal would let
all but the last plane pass. Then
he would concentrate upon it. He
got nine within two days and at
least 20 within the fortnight
The Nazis soon caught on to the
tactic, Pvt. Mahoney continued, sc
they decided to get him by trick

the usual shots at the last plane OF

"Then he countered the Nazi-
counter-tactic. He attached the gun
to a light lorry, and Immediately
after firing at the last plane of a
formation, Neal and other marines
hoped onto the lorry and moved
the gun to another position. Nazi
bombs kept bursting on spots he and
his gun had just abandoned"
From another point, the gun
would go into action again, anc
shortly before Pvt. Mahoney left he
