Germans Shoot Leaders
Of Greeks In Crete
The American Scene
Reports came out of Egypt this
week telling of the shooting of
several Greeks and the arrest of
hundreds of others on the island
of Crete hy German troops. The
action was a result of street fight-
ing following recent USAAF raids
on airfields near Salonika.
Cairo heard that the Germans
were reinforcing their Crete
garrisons with storm troops to
help keep down the resurgence
of Greek resistance arising from
American bomber activity over
Greece.
The arrests and executions
were carried out in the towns
of Canea, Retimo and Gandia,
where, according to the Cairo
story, the Greeks staged demon-
strations of protest against the
shooting of women and children
hostages in Athens, Salonika and
other Greek cities.
He’s Lucky He
Goes Along!
Lt. George Ponty of Los Angel-
es, who is flying a bomber in
Africa, has his troubles, but defin-
itely.
Before he and his Air Corps
comrades take off to bomb Greek
held territory he always scurries
sround and points out two small
islands on a map. “Hold onto your
bombs when flying over these
hunks of real estate,” ho says,
“because they belong to me,”
George isn’t kidding either. Ills
grandfather, a Greek, left bifn
the islands in bis will.

RAF Plane
Tows Glider
3,500 Miles
Folks just couldn’t help but
blink and ask thmselves what
next this week, when it was
announced that a fully loaded
glider had been towed 3,500 miles
across the Atlantic by an RAF
transport plane.
The trip was completed in 28
hours, and a new distance record
was set.
There was no cooperation from
the weather on the first leg of
the trip, which began at Montreal,
and a blizzard forced the glider
down in snowy mountains.
The glider is loaded and unload-
ed through a large door in the
nose which was reinforced with
steel attachments and designed
to withstand a pull of 20,000
pounds.
Merchant Seaman George Izabi
was in New York City with two
$500 bills in his possession but
couldn’t get any food. It was
Sunday and he had been wander-
ing- around all day. Finally he
appealed to a policeman who
loaned him $2 because no one
could change a $500 bill. He pro-
mised to pay the kindly police-
man back the next day as soon
as the banks opened.

T/Sgt. Robert Root bailed out
of his plane during the battle of
Tunisia in North Africa. Root
floated to within ten feet of the
ground when a delayed action
bomb exploded directly beneath
him. The force of the blast blew
him upward again. That- was all
he remembered until he regained
consciousness in a British hospi-
tal two weeks later.
