$19,809 School
Funds Sent to
High Schools
Distribution of 19,809 by the
non-high school educational board
as announced today by Mrs. Agnes
Booth, county superintendent, marks
a new era In the financing of that
board with all back debts paid up
and this money being sent out to
partially cover claims on the 1940
41 school year. 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. Checks are ex
pected to be sent out to the various
districts soon.

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

slaying of Lee P. Miller, 72, former Denver deputy U. S. marshal,

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.
When we consider these fncts
there must pass through your mind,
as there does through mine, the
thought that if Hitler tries his in
vasion of England he is bound to

get troops into the country and
probably a considerable number by
aerial means. 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.
