And Russiu Cited
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, June ll-Brig. Gen. Pat
rick Jay Hurley, President Roose-
velt's special representative in the
Middle East and former Secretary
OF War in the Hoover administra-
ton, was awarded the Distinguished
Flying Cross today for meritorious
achievement while participating in
aerial flights In furtherance of the
war effort"
The presentation was made by
Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton, COM
mander of American Air Forces in
the Middle East.
Gen. Hurley was cited for having
flown with no thought of personal
safety on repeated flights from the
United States to the South Pacific,
Middle East, Orient and Russia,
Drawing all hazards in combat areas
and displaying conspicuous courage
and initiative.
One of his most spectacular and
difficult missions was in flying to
Darwin, Australia, with 81 900, 600 in
gold in canvas bags. Early in the
war he ranged the Australian coast
to buy up fishing boats which he
used in a desperate effort to get
supplies to Gen. Douglas Macarthur
in the Philippines. Two out of every
three Of these ships were sunk, but
some got through with the supplies
which helped make the American
stand on Bataan possible.
More recently Gen. Hurley has
been employed on several special
missions for President Roosevelt,
involving air trips to Russia, Iran
and elsewhere
In the other war Gen. Hurley was
awarded the DISC with silver star
and the Purple Heart. Since the
present war began he had received
an oak leaf cluster from his own
Nation and the Order of the Aztec
Eagle from Mexico, that country's
highest award.

Villas Of MarseiNe
Reported Fortified
To Repe| Invasion
Windows, Door Blocked,
Machine Guns EmpIoeed
To Sweep Beach
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star.


ALGIERS, June 1.-THE luxuri-
Gus villas along Marseille's famous
La Cornicshe have been seized by
the Nazis and now bristle with ma
chine guns, according to latest re-
ports reaching here from Geneva
concerning Axis preparations against
invasion.
Villas on the cliff road, some of
which are owned by Washing
tonians, command a view of the
stony beach below. Concrete pill
boxes have been placed inside the
villa walls without changing the ap-
pearance of the red-roofed buildings,
All openings, according to the
Geneva reports, have been sealed
and false doors and windows have
been painted on the outside walls.
Sits have been cut for machine
guns
Heavy defenses have also been
reported on the pine-covered hills
over La Cornicshe, with all work in
tensifled in the past few weeks.
La Crau, salt marsh extending
many kilometers northward of Mar
senle, has been thickly mined, the
Geneva reports say. A vast net
work OF cables, on which Germans
have been working with conscripted
labor for several months, has been
laid to all approaches to the Mar
seille harbor.
Geneva reported that civilian ar
rests are increasing daily and very
few escapes are now being made
from the south of France to North
Africa. About 10000 escaped civil
lans, however, now are interned in
Spain.
1t is believed that the feverish
efforts to make Marseille invul-
nerable, as reported in newspapers
here, may be a sample of what is
taking place in all important cities
on the north coast of the Mediter-
ranean.
