Falcon island in the South Pa

Golfers. Being built up by the
ashes of volcanic eruption and
then destroyed by wind, rain and
ocean current so many times, Fall

Ickes Asks for
Oil Control Body

WASHINGTOH, June 25. CUP)-
Petroleum COordinator Harold l..
Ickes today urged the house bank
ing committee TO approve legisla-
ton TO create a $500,000,000 war
petroleum corporation that would
seek to forestall unnecessarily
stringent rationing" and avert actual
shortages of oil.
Ickes testified on a bill intro
duced by Chairman B. Henry Stea-
gall, D., Ala, TO create a war petrol
cum corporation empowered to buy
and sell petroleum, make loans to
oil companies, pay transportation
charges and provide for storage of
petroleum products.
Certainly, unless positive action
is taken in this field" Ickes told
the committee, we must all steel
ourselves to face a whole series of
probably unnecessarily stringent ra-
tioning orders and perhaps actual
shortages of petroleum or some of
its products for direct military use"
Ickes said that he had not yet
had the time TO ascertain the White
House views on the proposed legls-
lation.
AT the moment there exists no
overall shortage Of crude petroleum,
as it comes from our wells" he
said. But the continuance of this
condition depends upon two funda-
mental factors-how long the war
lasts and how well we use and con-
serve our existing wells and re-
serves"

Field Marshal Ef win Rommel's ad-
vance forces have broken through
the British frofftie. line and driven
more than SIS f1gilt S into Egypt, a
Middle Eastern COM nand communi-

The British frontier line has been
withdrawn from Solunl, on the coast,
to the Sidi Barrani al ca 20 miles
to the southwest, it was admitted.
Rommels steel clad tarmy, ad-
vancing at racing speed IN hope of
a quick and glittering conquest, had
smashed into the uncompleted Brit
ish line at its strongest point, it
was indicated.
Led by three crack divisions, two
armored and one light. the Axis
forces had chosen a front from the
coast, where Solum is the anchor,
to the Scheferzen fort, "a miles
southwest of Solum.
BRITISH GIVE WAY
British mobile forces of tanks
and armored cars fought desperate
ly to keep back the Axis Spearheads
which thrust into their lines to form
openings for massed formations. and
it was asserted that heavy losses
had been inflicted on the enemy.
But by last night. it was ad-
mitted. the Axis advanced units
had reached a position southeast
of Sidi Barrani.
Grave as it was, the news did not
mean necessarily that the British

FULL STATEMENT

The department released this
statement by Eisenhower:
Il have been assigned to command
the European theater for United
States forces. The formal establish
ment of a European theater is a
logical step in coordinating the ef-
forts of Great Britain and the
United States.
Six months ago the prime minis
ter Of Great Britain and the presi-
dent of the United States heartened
the people of the United Nations
by moving swiftly to merge the
military and economic strength of
Britain and the United States for
a common effort. At that Washing
ton conference, they set a more
effective pattern for unqualified
partnership than has ever before
been envisaged by Allied Nations
in pursuit OF common purpose.
"Only recently they have met
again to bring combined action into
even closer coordination.

duty"

Reds Forced Back
Near Seyastopol
In Violent Battle

MOSCOW. June 25 (UP)-Heavy
German pressure. maintained with
out regard to losses, forced the
Russians back on the northern sec
! tor of the Sevastopol front today.
The Communist party organ
Pravda said the defenders of that
sector fell back only after day
of the most violent battle and that
fighting was mountingly fierce
along the entire SevaStopol front,
and especially on the northern and
southern sectors.
Doing their utmost to widen the
gap in the city's defenses, the Ger
mans were paying a terrific cost"
in men and materials. Pravda said.
PRESSURE SLACNENED
Advices to the Soviet army news
paper Red Star said, however. that
because of enormous German losses,
the general pressure on Sevastopol
was somewhat Slackened, though,
in view of the enemy's numerical
superiority, the intensity of the
battle was undiminished.
Attempts to seize the city in a
three day storm have been crush
ed" a message said. Aviation,
tanks and psychologist attacks by
drunken German and Rumanian
soldiers have been unavailing.
DIVISIONS DECIMATED
Gallant Black Sea men have de-
cimated the 22nd, 50th and l32nd
and 72nd German infantry divi-
sions and the 1st and 18th Ru-
manian infantry divisions. The
most severe losses were inflicted
upon the oath and 10th German
infantry division and the 4th Ru
manian Alpine division
The Germans have lost more than
$50 tanks and hundreds of planes
on the approaches of Sevastopol
The short path of the enemy is
strewn with mountains of corpseS
of its officers and men,
The Black Sea fleet has been in
cessantly shelling the Germans, its
air arm has been bombing and ma
chine cunning them and some of its
sailors may be helping Sevastopol's
garrison.
This was the 10Th day of Adolf
Hitler's victory-at- at-any-price as
sault.

DATE SET

As soon as it had been laid down,
for action in the debate, Sir Stat
ford Cripps, leader of the house, an
nounced that the debate on Libya
and Mediterranean operations would
take place at the second and third
days of the next sittings of COM
mons.
CrippS declined to say that the
prime minister himself would be
back for the debate but told the
house:
1T is hoped the prime minister
will be present when the Libyan
debate occurs, and 1 hope that the
prime minister will speak"
Grips said the issue would be
fought out in the open, and that
it was not proposed to make any
part of the debate secret on the
plea of military necessity.
Five motions in all, four of them
hostile, will await Churchill when
he returns from Washington, it was
indicated.
The only friendly motion express
es confidence in the government S
general direction of the war but
urged that the principle of unified
command should be paramount in
