The board had cleaned up all of its old debts on the 1939-40 school year and when moneys became available under the big turnover recently made by the sheriff on the 1941 tax roll, the board was able to make an advance to school districts on claims which will be filed later this summer. The amounts advanced will be deducted from the respective claims, stated Mrs. Booth. The distribution is being made among high schools which educate Marlon county pupils from non high school districts. There are 1,278 such pupils and with a total of (19,809 to distribute the disburse ment is being made on a basis of $15.50 per pupil.

Associated Press Photo. Parachute Landing NoLongerExperiment By DeWitt MacKehzie (Associated Press Stall Writer) The landing of 3,000 more German parachute troops on the mountainous isle of Crete last night, accompanied by an effort to put naval forces ashore, labels the invasion of this strategic allied base as no mere ex- perimental affair but as a continu ing operation which is growing in Couple Held In Slaylnr John Trudrung, 21, a San Francisco music teacher, and his bride of five months, Kathryn, 21, confessed in Los Angeles, Detective Captain Edgar Edwards said, to the slaying of Lee P. Miller, 72, former Denver deputy U. S. marshal, with a billiard cue during a dispute over a $20 lodging bill. As sociated Press Photo. weight. It's unlike the Germans to start anything they don't Intend to fin ish, and their strategy as thus far disclosed indicates an original In tention of pursuing the assaults pro gressively and with increasing in tensity until a foothold is secured. Favorite Tactics This is a variation of the well known tactics long favored by the Germans when it is necessary to make frontal attacks with infantry. The idea is to jam a way through to the objective by sheer weight of numbers, thrown against the enemy in waves and mass formation, with out regard to loss of life among the assaulting forces. The Anglo-Greek defense claims to have killed or captured the ini tial contingent of glider and para chute troops at the opening of the battle of Crete yesterday, and to have control of the situation de veloping from the second landing. Details of the exact numbers of the opposing forces haven't been made public. Feasibility Shown The moral of this story of landing infantry from the air seems to me to lie in the demonstration that such an operation Is feasible even In the face of a strong and prepared de fense. Troops have been landed be fore in this war in Poland and Norway, for example but this is the first instance in which they have dropped into an enemy camp which was expecting just such an attack and was set for action. This Is the first time, too, that gliders have been used to transport sol diers in actual warfare.

That he could land enough to make the invasion a suc cess seems highly doubtful, in view of the British preparedness, but he certainly could cause a lot of trouble One satisfaction the British may get out of the present situation Is that any equipment which Hitler loses over Crete will be just so much gravy for the army which is guard lng Mother England from invasion. From the German viewpoint, even if they fall in taking Crete, they will have had invaluable experience for future operations. Man learns of war by making war.
