After what their officers called a! “magnificent delaying action” that permitted the escape of the bulk of the B. E.

“Vital war materials are piling up at the ports or delayed at the factories,” Mr, Roosevelt said. “We! must supply those ships and at! once.” Mr. Roosevelt outlined two steps! in the ship pool program. First, he, said, Land should “arrange for the utilization in routes to the combat zone of foreign ships or ships which are to be transferred to foreign registry”; second, American ships, including those to be completed soon, should be reallocated so as to “make every cargo directly or indirectly useful to our defense efforts and the winning by the democracies of the battle now being waged in the Atlantic.” For several days Administration {officials have been warning that the time has arrived when we cannot expect “business as usual.” The President said he realized fully that the program he was proposing “will jcause not only great inconvenience, ‘but the loss of trade and sacrifices by the consuming public.” Mr. Roosevelt's announcement | appeared to mark the successful | conclusion of the visit here of Sir| | Arthur Salter, British shipping au- | |thority, who has been conferring |
Since July 3, 19815, Policeman Clary has served in almost every capacity on the force. Still young, he’s 51, Mr. Clary has resigned, not because he’s too old to work, but because he's spent almost 26 years of his life in uniform and from now on “it's Florida for me and Mrs. Clary.” He intends to look around for something to do after he rests awhile. “Don’t get me wrong,” he said, “I'm not retiring because I'm too old. I just think I've got a vacation coming.” . When he became a policeman they wore frock coats and helmets with chin straps to keep them on when they rode bicycles. He can’t remember just when the department started using motorized equipment but he can remember the last of the “bikes.” He and another patrolman were given a painting detail. This detail was a winters job and consisted of painting the inside of headquarters and repairing and painting all the bicycles. They had just finished repairing the bicycles and painting them when the city traded them for motorcycles. “I don't know what I'll be doing from now on,” he said, “but it's going to be fun.”

that slashed through at Thermopylae and at Brallos. “I was at Thermopylae,” a New Zealand soldier told us. ‘The sheer weight of numbers combined with over-whelming air superiority, won the battle for the Germans. “Our platoons were separated sometimes by a third of a mile. We sent out patrols of five or six men. They encountered enemy patrols with as many as 400 men in them. “We smashed plenty of tanks, but they still came on. The enemy infantry was mostly Austrian and to us they seemed to be just cannon fodder.” Picked units of the British forces| fought a rearguard action not far from Athens, from which we set out with a military convoy for the south.

Again, we were warned quickly to pass a spot where a German time bomb had fallen but had not yet exploded.
Nazis Kill Prisoners
We stopped frequently, During one pause, an Anzac veteran told us more about the battle at Thermopylae. “We took 200 prisoners,” he said, “but about that time the Jerries machine-gunned our sector from the air and killed most of the prisoners. “We had no fresh men to relieve our troops, who were exhausted.” A young British captain of artillery, who fired the first gun at Servia Pass, said “We scored direct hits on German trucks filled with troops. They blew up, sky-high. We knocked out enemy tanks. It was a massacre, but it was physically impossible to keep on killing more! of them.” An Australian chimed in He | told about “the hero of Thermopy- | lae"—a Maoris colonel from down | under.
Some Fight Hunger, Too
“The enemy wedged into Brallos Pass,” he said. “They got through by close infiltration and by climbing over the rocks. “This Maoris colonel was exhausted. He'd been climbing the peaks for hours. He ordered his men to fall back and leave him there. They wouldn't do it at first, but he made them obey to save the regiment. “He stayed there. We don't know Whether he was taken prisoner or something else.” The evacuation was carried out in good order and without the sacrifice of individual equipment as at Dunkirk. At the point from which we were embarked, troops arrived in a steady stream at night. They were hidden during the day in wheatfields and among rocks in the hills while the Luftwaffe blasted at nearby ports. We went aboard at night. It took seven and a half hours to get 11,500 troops aboard two transports which were silhouetted in the glare of a bombed and burning munitions ship. . Other transports worked in close to the beaches to take off the troops. Cruisers and destroyers moved in to take soldiers aboard and to provide protection for the over-water journey. Our convoy consisted of large merchantment as well as cruisers and destroyers, all loaded to the limit with troops, air force men and nurses,
Sing Tipperary Again
Most of the nurses were Australains, but there were some English. As the B. E. F. moved down to the beaches, the British wounded soldiers who had been tended in Greek hospitals hobbled out and joined the ranks. We could see them hopping along in the twilight, and they sang the old songs that their fathers had sung—“Tipperary,” “Pack Up Your Troubles,” and “Yon Bonnie Braes.” There were many Scots among them. More than 50 wounded men were loaded from barges on to our transport. A famous Australian colonel-sur-geon operated all night on wounded men and went on working all the next day while the ships zig-zagged through the sea to escape the German dive-bombers. The ships doctor, a Canad'an, did the same. They toid about an R. A. E. surgeon who had operated on casualties for 36 hours in a church where his operating table was a stretcher placed on two chairs. And all the time he worked, the Nazi planes were attacking the town at regular intervals. Twice our convoy's guns roared out as the German planes came over in an effort to sink us on the
