ALEXANDRIA, June 22.-Comdr.
Thanos Spanides Of Greek subma-
rine raider famed for exploits
against the Axis reported today
after his return TO port that "the
Nazis seem to have lots of aircraft
on Crete and in Greece"
They are digging big under
ground hangers into the sides of the
mountains In Crepe and improving
and extending the Maleme Air
drome," the commander said. (Crete
has frequently been mentioned as
an obvious springboard for any Axis
offensive in the Near East)
The commander said he obtained
his information from Greeks res
cued by his undersea raider from
sailing vessels in the Mediterranean.
Comdr. Spanides said he had de-
stroyed five Axis auxiliary vessels
by ramming and gunfire on his
most recent tour of the Mediter-
ranean. In the Greek Italian war
Comdr. Spanides' submarine sank
three large Italian troopships within
a few minutes in the Adriatic.

ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, June a.
Britons In Alexandria, the second
capital Of Egypt. Britain's main
Mediterranean base and one OF
the richest prizes that ever could
fall into Nazi hands, are watching
the enemyis moves In the Libyan
desert with interest but without
alarm.
Residents Of this Europeanized
city of 10000 express confidence
that although the Axis legions have
pushed eastward near the Egyptian
frontier the British Army will stop
them at the right time and place.
Alexandria is about 800 miles
east OF Bardia, Libyan port eight
miles from the Egyptian border
which the Axis claimed their forces
had occupied. These were the 1ear-
est Axis troops today.
Plenty Of Supplies.
Alexandrians dance on and are
we'll supplied with food and drink.
In the Greek colony, which oper-
ates most of the citys businesses,
there is calm confidence that the
tide will turn.
Afraid precaution authorities,
however, started the evacuation yes
terday OF numbers of persons from
danger zones"
They said this had been decided
weeks ago as a measure of rest
for the population of certain quar-
ters OF Alexandria more exposed
than others to the danger OF air
raids" and that the situation in
the desert had nothing to do with
the step.
Coastal defenses maintain a con-
slant watch, ready instantly to give
Nazi bombers q taste OF what has
been termed one OF the heaviest
anti-aircraft barrages in the world

corted by warships. are pouring in

pearance OF American cargo ships

The British positions along the

plete superiority in the air and
Rommel's increasing supply diff
cultleS. they might be held. Reports
of British air attacks on Crete sug
gest that the Germans may have in
mind a turning movement behind
the British lines by an air-borne
invasion of Egypt based on Crete,
and this might prove very danger
Gus. Also. both military and politi-
cal difficulties might follow any
withdrawal of British troops from
Syria or Irak to reinforce Egypt.
Difficult Problems for Allies.
In fact. Rommel'S success sets the
Allies a series of very difficult prob
lens, since it threatens the Suez
Canal, which must be held at all
costs. and also the whole Allied po-
sition in the Middle East.
The far-f1ung nature of the de-
cisions which must be taken is in
dicated by the criticism which Is
arising in Great Britain of the
sending of a powerful convoy to
India Immediately prior to Rom
mel's attack. Obviously, India had
to be made secure against a pos
Sible Japanees attack from Burma
but the troops and supplies devoted
to that purpose would be very use
full in Egypt at this moment.
The need for holding Egypt
may affect the ability of the United
Nations to strike in Western Eu-
rope. Moreover, Rommel's success
will have a serious effect in Turkey,
especially if it be followed by the
fall of Sevastopol; and it is worthy
of note that it has been immedi-
ately followed up at Vichy by Ger
man demand for the use of a mil
lion tons of French shipping.
1t may, however, have done one
good turn for the Allied cause by
breaking the glittering bubble of
unjustified optimism which was so
apparent only few days ago. and
bringing home to the people of the
United Nations the grim fact that
this year 1912 is going to be a
year of bitter struggle against enc
mics whose strength is not yet ex-
hausted by any means.

1912 is to win the Middle Eastern
land bridge with its enormous pc
troleum resources and to cut the
Allied supply lines to Russia through
the Indian Ocean," one source said.
Once this is done, the Axis hopes
to exchange German ornaments
for japanese tin and rubber and to
export oil in huge quantities to Ger
many from Iraq, Iran and Cau-
CaSia."
In the face of this mounting
menace, these sources said Allied
hopes for a European front in 1912
were fading fast" and declared that
the people of the United States
must realize that the future course
of the war may be dictated by the
battles on the frontier of Egypt"
Every available British ship
must be used for reinforcement OF
the British armies in the Middle
East, another observer commented.

prime advocates of European front
must realize that the German drive
at Egypt threatens the security OF
the Caucasus as surely as any move

Merry Co. Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Government
sleuths are probing a series OF
mysterious leaks of important mar
ket information from key war
agencies.
On several occasions recently GER
tain Wall Street traders have OBJ
tanned advance tips on important
moves to be made by the War Pro-
duction Board, the Office OF Price
Administration and the Agriculture
Department.
In one instance cotton brokers got
wind of an Agriculture parity an
nouncement As minutes before II
was made public. This announce
ment was supposed to be absolutely
secret until publication. The mar
ket operators not only learned
about it, but used the information
for private profit.
The WPB order banning all non
essential building construction also
was tipped off in advance to GER
tain members of the building trade
So. too( was the OPA's action i'm.
posing a price ceiling on fats ane
oils, and allowing an increase il
wool prices. Word regarding thi:
move leaked out two days before
the order was issued.
Under suspicion for these leaks
are certain dollar-a- year men, who
while not directly connected with
these matters, were in a position
to learn about them and to tip of
business friends.
