that 13 British planes were lost on
Friday nights raids in the Paris
area and elsewhere indicated the in

RAF attack may have been COM
parable to the British raids on RoS-

dustrial section was wiped out.

On the Libyan front, tank battles
continued south of Tobruk but both
the British and Italian communiques
indicated that the Axis forces under
Colleen. Erwin Rommel had failed
so far to make important progress
COLUMNS BROKEN UP
The Germans attacked along a 25
mile front, using a mile-Wide line
OF tanks at one point, dispatches
from the fighting front said. But
after penetrating east of Tobruk
to the Ell Gazala road, the enemy
tank columns were broken up or
forced back by British air, tank
and strong artillery forces and a
major British counter-attack was
reported developing today.
The fighting continued on a desert
sector known as KnightSbridge, over
an area 20 to 40 miie3 south of To-
bruk, and as yet it was an indecisive
series of punches and counterpunch-
eS. The British dispatches said the
enemy had lost many tanks and
trucks, including 35 italian tanks
knocked out in one sector, while
the Italian communique spoke OF
hard fighting in which the British
suffered considerable loss.

Australia Finds
No | Lesal Bar TO
Return Of OO'er

CANBERRA, Australia. May 30
tUP) - j. A. Beasley. supply mini
ster in Australia's militant labor
government, announced today that
there was no legal bar to the re-
turn of CIO Leader Harry Bridges
10 Australia and by implication re-
buked Attorney General Francis
Biddle for ordering his deportation
as an undesirable.
Determination of the deSirability
OF any person is a matter for his
own country to decide" Beasley
said Bridges might conceivably
be the greatest social reformer ever
seen here.
Another country's court deci-
sions regarding the desirability of
any Australian can not be regard
I'd as acceptable to the Australian
viewpoint.
CODE DIFFERENT
For instance, the effect of in
dustrial activities is more import
art TO Australia than to any other
country. Australias code of indus
trial conditions and the rights OF
unions and workers to organize is
on a different level from those of
other countries.
The men who fight to obtain
these conditions in Australia might
reasonably be regarded as unde-
sirables elsewhere. The whole ques-
tion therefore resolves itself into
decision as to which country
these condition are applicable.
LEGAL STATUS
Solicitor General Sir George
knowles had been asked to check
Bridges status as an Australian
citizen as soon as newspapers pub
lished Biddle's deportation order.
Beasley made the announcement
for the government as acting at
torncy general.
1t had been neceSSary, Beasley
said. to find whether Bridges had
forfeited his citizenship.

Der of American troops and nee

sharp speed-up in the induction
Of selectees, disclosing an increase
of 100000 men in the past four
weeks alone This is an average of
900 inductions d week, and if

greatest in the nations history

Marshall for the end of the year.
This will be nearly 100000 larger
