CITIZENS TO BE ENROLLED IN DEFENSE BODY Airplane Spotters, Fire Bomb Quenchers and First Aid Service Among Duties Salem, May 29. (P) Thou- sands of Oregon citizens will be i enrolled in civilian defense activities as soon as Governor Charles A. Sprague's civilian de fense council, to be appointed in a few days, can enlist them. Budget Director David Eccles said today on his return from Washington, D. C. "The most Important activity. as far as Oregon is concerned, will be the airplane spotters," Eccles said, "although we also will enroll volunteers whose job will be to extinguish fire I bombs, fight fires, give first aid I to injured civilians, and to per form other war jobs. "Of course, there isn't much ; chance that Oregon, outside of j Portland or the lower Columbia I river areas, will be bombed. That is why the airplane spot ters win De more neeaea man the other volunteers. No Stat Guard All of this might sound a little premature, but it is better to begin immediate training of a highly-organized civilian de fense force. Then we would be ready if we need it. And if we don't need it, nothing is lost anyway. Eccles, who also Is executive secretary to the governor, was advised by federal officials to begin organization of the civilian volunteers as soon as possible. "However, government offic ials said they could see no reason why Oregon should have a state guard. We do plan, however, to rely on a reinforced state police to deal with emergencies."

Allies Trouble in Crete Due ' To Lack of Aerial Support By DeWitt MicKtnsla Associated Press Analyst The position of the Anglo-Greek allies in the battle of Crete was so grave today that even as this is being written they well may have been compelled to give up the fight to retain control of that strategic island. During the ten days of one of I the fiercest battles of history the nazi dive-bombers have all but blasted Crete out of the water. Late Greek reports re cord that the cities of the island literally are pulverized by the deluge of high explosives that have produced an Inferno in which civilians and troops alike have struggled. Allied Millstone Lack of air-power in the east ern Mediterranean Is the mill stone about the allied neck. It will so continue to be until this deficiency is supplied from America. Some London observers be lieve that if the Hitlerites win the batUe of Crete they will turn their attention next to the big British naval base on the Island of Cyprus. This lies four hun dred miles to the east of Crete and off the coast of Syria. That might indeed be an early objective, but possession of Crete would give the Nazis a fairly wide choice of moves. In any event, they must take time out for consolidation of the bomb torn island before it will be of much value as a base for further major operations. It is quite possible that the Germans will by-pass Cyprus for the moment, and try to establish themselves in Syria. This would provide a necessary base for a drive through Palestine to Egypt and the Suez canal, and it wo'ld give them handy airdromes for an assault against Cyprus. Closer to Egypt Also of vast and perhaps more immediate Importance is the fact that possession of Crete would bring German bombers within 250 miles of the Libyan-Egyptian border on the north African coast, where the axis expedi tionary force is maneuvering for an opening to drive into Egypt In fact, this entire stretch of coast, including the all-important British naval base at Alex andria, and the Suez canal, would be brought within very handy bombing distance for the Nazis. While possession of the island of Crete doesn't by a long shot win the conflict for domination of the eastern Mediterranean, It would be of inestimable value in development of the German campaign. The only satisfaction the British and their allies get out of the situation is that the German victory if so it proves to be has been tremendously costly. The British claim that the Nazis have thrown equipment L 1 "'6 ei ew li..n 5 1 IS 3 L tL Vete.

That will be a blow to Hitler. For those big planes cannot be replaced overnight. BIDS SCANNED ON Ti Superintendent E. P. Leavitt of Crater Lake national park was notified today by the pub lic roads administration office in Portland that the C. .T. Eldon 'firm of Portland had submitted the low bid of $10,810 for bitu minous surfacing of four and half to five miles of park high way between the rim of the lake and Annie Springs camp. Three bids were received. Work on the project, Mr Leavitt stated, would start as soon as the weather permits, and would probably bo complet ed in July or early August. The new surface, it was explained will preserve the old road built In 1020 until such time as a better road may be constructed. Mr. Leavitt said he had rec ommended that the Eldon bid be accepted.
