Goebbels Hints At Invasion Of England By the Associated Press BERLIN, June 13 Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, in an article appearing in an edi tion of the Voelkischer Beobach ter which later was confiscated, discussed today the possibilities of invasion of England and Indi cated the Island of Crete was an example of what might happen to the island of Britain. "If today Crete events are hot ly debated in England, one need merely to substitute the word England for Crete to understand what is meant," Goebbels wrote. There was a veiled suggestion that surprising developments might be in store for England within two months. He said that "if two months ago someone had told Churchill we would have Crete at the be ginning of June he probably would have laughed. But today Crete is in our hands and if some one now were to tell him what might happen within the next few Months he probably would laugh again."

Previously, it was stated, the Robin Moor's first mate had rowed a mile and a half to the waitine U-boat, as ordered, and personally informed tne German commander of the ship's nationality and destination.

Pressure also was reported in creasing in the sector south of Beirut, capital of Lebanon, with heavy fighting also taking place specially around tne coastal town of SidOn. The French said they still held Sidon, despite British assertions that their forces had reached it, and claimed that French troops had taken the offensive around Kissoue, south of Damascus.

(3) 55 miles per hour (upped from 45) in all other locations. On the basis of engineering studies the state highway commis sion may establish speeds either higher or lower than those desig nated above on any state Highway route, and a special state speed control board has been given au thority to set designated speeds either higher or lower on other city streets upon petition of coun ty or city authorities. The basic rule still remains in effect however for in some situa tions it might be driving reck lessly to exceed 10 miles per hour. The penalties provided for viola tion take this into account. A maximum of $25 or five days imprisonment can be imposed for violation of the basic rule with out exceeeding the designated speed, while the maximum is $100 or 10 days in Jail or both if the i speed limit is exceeded at the time of the violation.
