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."

On the Middle East war front,
fierce Circassian cavalry, trained
by the French but now fighting
on the side of the British-Free

have fought their way into the
suburbs of Damascus in the 6-day-

raider's blinker lights, the Robin
Moor was first torpedoed amid
ships and then sent to the bottom
amid a hail of shell-fire. Passen

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.
Reports from the front indicated-
that the British were pulling off
the gloves and abandoning spar

adopted at the beginning Of the
Syrian-Lebanese Operation in an
effort to avoid bloodshed.
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.
To the northeast, British arm

across the Syrian desert toward
Palmyra, site of an important air

and the beacon control tower; and
the grading and draining for the

are from the $250,000 already ap

Adequate provision for drain

been made by raising the center

The present runways will be

the view is obstructed within 200

(2) 25 miles per hour in any
residence district and in any pub
lic park within cities unless other
wise designated.
(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.
Emergency vehicles are ex
empt from the designated speeds
but the driver is not relieved from
the duty of driving with due re
gard for the safety Of all per
sons using the street, nor is the
driver protected from the conse
quences of a reckless disregard of
the safety of others.
The prima facie type of law
now to go into effect in Oregon is
upon the statute books of 31 states
and the absolute or fixed speed
type of law in the remaining 17
states. Oregon was the last state
to abandon "indicated" Speeds.
