Childs Aerial Attack on Crete Demonstration of New And Practical Technique By D.Witt MecKensle Associated P ress Analyst ' The battle of Crete, which presents a new phase of war so fantastic that it has existed here tofore only in the imaginations of romancers, is giving us an un forgettable picture of the armed conflict of the future the imm ediate future for the air will play an Increasingly vital part i n the European conflict until the end. for, as this column has pointed out before, I believe the decis ion in the great engagement of the Near East which is now op ening up will depend in no small degree on tne air. Indeed, aerial operations may prove to be the decisive factor. Practicability Shown Whatever may be the outcome of this daring nazi descent from the clouds into the enemy camp on the mountainous isle of Crete, Hitler has demonstrated that this form of attack is prac ticable. Thus it is bound to form a powerful weapon of offense from now on, and it is notable that Germany is the only na tion thus far fully equipped to wage this new type of war. The heavy British Royal air force attack on the German ex peditionary force in African Li bya is a natural answer to the nazi assault on Crew. The im mediate purpose of the British command is to compel the nazis to divert to Libya a part of the airfleet they are using against the Greek island. This in itself is an indication of the gravity of the threat in the German attack. There also may be a double purpose In the British bombard ment of the nazi column in Afri ca. Allied Commander in Chief Wavell may be ready to inaugur ate a land offensive against the axis forces which are standing close to the Egyptian border, ready for a thrust towards the great naval base of Alexandria and the Suez canal. As the chess men sit on the board now, that would seem to be General Wav ell's next move. Syria Important With the swelling of the con flict- in the Near East, French will be given Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Highway tabernacle here. There will be songs and specials by the orchestra. The Sunday school children will take part in an exercise entitled: "Beam! from the Lighthouse". At 11 a.m. Rev. M. R. Brunswick, pas tor of the tabernacle will speat? on "The Life of Moses." Th. public is cordially invited. c belligerent to occupy Syria with military forces will have secured a key position. Recognition of this is seen In the reported advance of Free French forces into Syria from Palestine. It is seen, too. in Bri tain's warning to Vichy that French collaboration with Ger many will force the allies to strike back a warning which is directed at least in part to the fact that nazi war'anes are us ing Syrian airdromes in transit , to Iraq to support the revolt there against the British. It wouldn t be surprising to see Syria become one of the big battle grounds of the Near East ern battle because of its stra tegic position. For the Germans its possession would be inval uable not only for operations against Egypt and the Suez can al, but as a weapon with which to force Turkey to grant passage of German troops through her territory. Barrier to Advance For the British, Syria would I form a barrier against advance to the canal through Palestine, which is in many respects the most logical route. British con trol there also would relieve the German pressure against Turk ey a matter of the utmost con cern to the allies at this mo ment. Should the Germans gain pos session of Crete they presum ably would make an early as sault on Britain's great naval base of Cyprus off the Syrian coast. However, it would be log ical for them first to try to estab lish themselves in Syria.

(P) Clackamas and Yamhill county campaigns against pinballi ma chines that pay off caused the state liquor control commission to suspend 24 beer licenses for 10 days each yesterday.

Slocum, owner, were prohibited by the commission from selling to five retail licensees for the remainder of 1941 as a penalty for mentioning their names over radio station KW1L, Albany.
