five devastating raids. R. A. F, bombers struck hard at Nazi naval bases 5. Spanish Falangists swung farther toward active co-operation with Germany, bolstering reports that the Nazis might move through Spain to close the Gibraltar Straits and transport reinforcements across North Africa in the drive toward Suez 6. Britain and her Allies sought to take the initiative in North Africa, but German troops broke through the outer defenses of To-
| bruk.
7. Imperial reinforcements, fearing an Axis pincers thrust through Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia, landed in turbulent Iraq, vital oil pool and gateway to the East, 3. Turkey, flanked by German forces, was reported less friendly toward Britain. 9. Russia, continuing to keep its motives hidden, barred transit of certain war materials across the Soviet and published reports that 12,000 German troops with heavy equipment had moved into Fine land, possibly en route to Norway. 10. The position of the United States, after extending naval patrols at least 2000 miles into the Atlantic, became increasingly prominent, bringing Nazi reiterations that any ships “regandless of flag” would be torpedoed if they ventured into the Axis-declared war zones

Eye-witnesses to the British evacuation of Greece cabled through difficult communication facilities: “It was worse than Dunkirk.” The escape was carried out in good order, troops hiding in the wheatfields and among rocks in the hills during the day. At night they slipped aboard transports in the glare of bombed and burning docks and ships. » » »
'SEAL OF DOOM'—
WINSTON CHURCHILL, facing criticism on the Greek campaign and rejecting demands for an Empire war cabinet, warned Hitler and his “malignant Huns” that Germany's doom is sealed new that the United States is prepared to put vast shipments of weapons within reach of Britain. In order for Germany to win, he declared, Hitler “must either conquer this island by invasion or cut the ocean lifelines to the United States.” “When you come to think of it.” he added pointedly and apparently thinking of U. S. convoys, “the
United States is very closely bound up with us now.” ” » »
THE UNITED STATES—
WASHINGTON CONSIDERED new economic measures against AXis nations, perhaps freezing German and Italian assets, Developments were:
1. President Roosevelt called on the Maritime Commission to create an immediate pool of 2,000,000 tons of shipping to aid Britain. 2. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted against reporting either of two anti-convoy resolutions.
3. Navy Adamiral Stark revealed that the American ‘neutrality patrol” had been extended at least 2000 miles into the Atlantic after the President said the Navy would operate anywhere in the seven seas necessary for protection of the Western Hemisphere, 4. Senator Guffey (D. Pa), ardent Roosevelt supporter, told the Senate that the U. S. should begin convoying merchant ships to Great Britain immediately because of the “peril that confronts us.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, expressing regret that there were people with such mentalities in high places where they could write or talk, eriticized Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and others for express ing the opinion that the Axis would defeat Britain. Col. Lindbergh, declaring there was ‘no honorable alternative,” submitted his resignation in the Army Air Corps Reserve, “I place it second only to my right As a citizen to speak freely to my fellow countrymen,” the colonel said The War Department accepted the resignation.

POLITICS —
MAY DAY WAS not Pay Day for Indiana Republicans, who had expected the job ghost to walk when the G. O. P. "decentraliza« tion” laws went into effect. Re publicans were blocked from making any appointments by the restraining order issued recently in Cireuit Court, An added blow was Supreme Court denial of a motion asking that Governor Schricker be forbidden to make any appointments under the new laws, So May Day was Stay Day for the Democrats. ” w
