By EDDY GILMORE SIMFEROPOL, U.S.S.R., May 22 (&) One of 246 enemy of ficers whom the Russians an nounced they captured in the Crimean campaign said today Adolf Hitler had ordered the peninsula held because of fear its fall might help plunge neu tral Turkey into the war on the allied side. A 47-year-old German colonel of artillery, Hans Messinger, said Hitler made clear his de sire to cling to the peninsula in a special order forwarded early in May shortly before Sevastopol fell. Asked whether tne campaign constituted a planned retreat Messinger replied: ' No. We were told to noia the Crimea." Questioned as to why the Ger mans did not noia a mmaic line across the peninsula after the Russian breakthrough at the Perekop isthmus and the Sivash sea, Messinger replied: "What was the point in that? We had too big an area . to cover." He also saia mat tne Ger mans, although realizing they were losing, did not give up be cause Hitler "promised to send ships and planes" to reinforce them. The Russian count on the number of enemy officers cap tured was revealed by Soviet Col. Gen. Sergei Birtnzov, 40, chief of staff of the fourth Ukrainian army. The list includ ed one lieutenant general, one major general, six colonels, 1 1 lieutenant colonels and 14 majors. "The Crimean campaign," Birinzov said, "was an opera tion of breakthrough and de struction, not a German-planned retreat and evacuation." He unfolded captured German documents dated May 3 show ing orders to commanders to hold every trench, pillbox, road and fox hole and saying that "the eyes of the world are on Sevastopol and the red army will bleed to death before the city."

Everywlu re between the Trop ic of Cancer, 2 SI degrees north of tho equator, to the Tropic of Capricorn, 47 degrees further south, there ure two days a year when vertical posts tiro apt not to cast horizontal shadows nt noon. The reason Is that tho sun Is then directly overhead. This does not mean that a leafy tree fill fall to give shade, for Its noon shadow will bo Immediately un der It, Along the Tropic of Can cer, the most northerly latitude where tho noon sun is ever over head, posts will be shadowless about June 22; at the southern Capricorn limit, December 22.
