 AXIS HANDS
British Surrender = Battle of Libyd Now Moves
 to Egyptian Border

CAIRO, June 22.-Driving for ward without pause following the surrender of Tobruk by the British Commander, Nazi mobile counter columns clashed with the British forces only few miles from the Egyptian border.
 This is the official communique of the British headquarters as the Allied position in the entire Middle East appears threatened with a dis astrous rout in Libya.
 The British statement says the clash with the Nazi columns oc- cured 12 miles northwest of Fort Capuzzo, just across the border in Libya and indicated few garrison troops of the British South African Indians escaped the Tobruk disaster. Some small craft moved out of the harbor which was under shellfire of German tanks. Other British par ties fought their way through enemy formations on the desert.

(ut Worms Are Invading Rail BeIt Sedion;; Crops
 Undergo Heavy Damage

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 22- Lorin T. Oldroyd, Extension Direc- tor of the University of Alaska, said in an interview here, that the Mat anuska and Tanana Valleys are suf- fering the worst invasion of cut worms in years.
 OIdroyd declares that the rail belt has the prospect of growing only about 50 percent of potato needs but expects to have sufficient hay and grain for stocks.
 However, the cut worms are damaging crops of oats, peas, and al grains and production will be decreased substantially. If the cut worm damage is too extensive, it will affect the winter feed supply for dairy farmers" said Oldroyd.

He states that the so- called mystery of the Aleutian bat tie is merely a mystery of fog and snow, coupled with a desire to keep the enemy in the dark.
 "If the public is confused" said the spokesman, then so is the en- emy and that is all to the good. You can't make a statement about a battle until the battle is decided. As Admiral King has told the American people, the battle is con- tinuing.

JApS WERE

 WEST COAST
Writer Says Large Midway Armada Is Proof
 of This
By WENDELL WEBB
Associated Press Correspondep,

Associated Press Correspondent
 WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET June 22-The vast size of the Jap anese armada routed in the battle of Midway seems convincing proof that the armada was pointing for an invasion of Americas West Coast
 Unofficial, but highly reliable tabulations of the enemy's strength indicates that Midway Island was regarded only as the smallest goal in a grander scheme of conquest.
 The tiny defense outpost lies less than 1,200 miles from Pearl Har- bor and 5000 miles from America S West Coast and was not far for the Japs to reach in this modern war of long range fighting.
 The unprecedented, large long range invasion force was strung out for 100 miles as it steamed near Midway and included 5 battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, and undetermined number of destroyers, submarines, transports, tankers and seaplane carriers.

 Alaska Region
ARMY B0MBERS SINK
 TRANSp0RT IN RAID
Cruisers Also Reported Hit -Invaders Ashore
 Tents Erected

WASHINGTON, June g - The Navy reported Sunday that the Japanese have put forces ashore at Kiska Island and apparently are attempting to establish some sort of a base on that Aleutian Island. Kiska is only 585 miles from the Navy's Dutch Harbor base.
 The occupation of Kiska Island is the second foothold in the west ern hemisphere and was made known in a communique which said that Army bombers, raiding the harbor at Kiska, had sunk a transport and apparently hit a cruiser.
 Tents and minor temporary structures were observed to have been set up on the land at Kiska. ; the communique said. This indicates that the enemy has made some pro- gress since the Navy's communique of June 12 when it was reported Japanese ships were in the harbor at Kiska and had landed a small enemy force at Attu.

The W ashingtOn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON- and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASH. MERRY GO ROUND .... c WASHINGTON-D most of last winter, Gov Ernest Gruening of Alaska constituted one-man lobby pounding on office doors to promote the fertilization of Alaska Gov. Gruening contended that the Japs were sure to bomb Alaska probably would attempt a landing and that Alaska was woefully un- defended.
 Finally, Gov. Gruening went to see the President himself. The Pres ident sympathized heartily, but finally replied by asking this ques- tion:
 How many planes do you think we have defending the city of New York?'
 Then he went on to say that he had called in the Army few days before to answer that question, and was. surprised at the figure. The President also went on to explain that it was absolutely essential for us to send planes to war fronts where they could be used immed- iately--where the fighting was act ually taking place. If they went to Alaska or New York, he pointed out, they might sit there for months doing nothing. while the battles were being lost on the Russian front.
 Therefore, the limited number of planes had to be distributed to areas where the need was urgent This was the position also taken by Gen. Marshall. Admiral King and other war chiefs. and explains why the Japanese had such an easy time getting a foothold on the ex- treme end of the Aleutian Islands Since this White House conver- sati0n last winter, U. s. air strength has been enormously increased Present disposition of forces is a military secret.

Fate of Crimean Fortress Hangs in Balance

MOSCOW, June 22.-The bloody battle of Sebastopol has entered the crucial stage as stubborn defenders of the Soviet forces fought bitterly against the German attackers al- ready lodged inside the stronghold's outer defenses.

 The Japs Know the country, but so does the Navy. Why haven't the Army and Navy already driven the Japs out of inc Aleutians? The weather explains that in part. It's enc thing to get at them in clear skies, and another to get at them in weather foul and thick with snow

spiral of prices from ending in dis
aster.
The clear cause OF this state Of
affairs Is failure of Mr.. Roosevelt
to measure up to his own utter
ances. He has not been able to bring
himself to sacrifice the govern
mental gadgets and policies dear
to his heart, though calling on the
people for sacrifices and insisting
that the gadgets must 60. His oppo-
sition to drastic curtailment of N.
Y. A. and C. c. C. is the outstand-
Ing example. Although the re-
striction of profits Is as essential
as the control Of wages. he has
moved to do neither. Although the
40-hour week stands In the way of
an "all-out" war effort, he supports
the labor lobby in insisting on its
retention.
1t is not helping to win the war
to ignore these facts. 1t is not
helping to win the war to express
admiration Of the Presidents mill
tary strategy and remain silent as to
the internal danger created by his
domestic management-an inside
danger second only to the danger
from without and actually adding to
1t. Nor, as the New York Times
points out, is it an answer to those
who urge q change in certain gov
ernmental policies to accuse them of
being Nazis or fools taken in by
Nazis. Or Of hating Mr.. Roosevelt
or the New Deal or Mrs. Roosevelt
or labor or the farmer or the "lb-
erals" or OF being sixth column
lists" or any Of the other absurd al
legations with which q certain type
Of New Dealer rushes to meet .
criticism or refute q difference OF
opinion.
