SHOWN IN GREECE
Accuracy of Nazi Pilots Deadly, Roads to Be Used by Advancing Troops Almost Undamaaged, but Craters Appear Within Yard or Two of Highway.

WITH THE GERMAN ARMIES IN SOUTHEAST EUROPE, May 5 (To Berlin by courier: delayed). —Germany’s Stuka dive-bombing planes, backed by armored divigions, enabled Hitler's armies to blast through Greece in & 26-day campaign and drive the British forces from their hoped-for foothold in the Balkans. All along the route of the British retreat to the sea, gaping bomb craters by the roadsides and the wreckage of hundreds of British trucks and tanks seem to show the secret of Germany's blitzkrieg success. According to all informa-|

VOTE IS VICTORY FOR CHURCHILL
But Press Is Critical of Failure to Discuss Greater Output. LONDON, May 8 (U. P.).—Prime Minister Winston Churchill won a big personal triumph in the twoday House of Commons debate on foreign policy, it was agreed today, but there seemed also in agreement that the debate had reflected a wide and increasingly strong demand for unsparing intensification of war production. The feeling apparently was general that Great Britain must put every man and woman to work under conditions of the greatest possible efficiency, and that there was still much to be done before this aim could be realized. | Newspapers took the view Uh the debate was likely to stimulate | the war effort. But the Daily Herald, Labor Party organ, was not alone in showing disappointment that Churchill had avoided discussion of the production issue directly. “By that postponement Mr. | Churchill’s statement was robbed of | reality,” the Daily Herald said. “Mr. | Churchill decided we were more in need of amusement than enlightenment.”
The London Times, a leading Conservative organ, noted some disappointment that Churchill had! not seen fit to agree to a smaller War Cabinet and said that a constant review of manpower and production problems was necessary. “But the debate has done good | and cleared the air,” it conceded. “Tt has shown that Parliament fis] capable of vigilance and construc- | tive eriticism.”
