Indications of Evacuation
Success In Greece Appear
Attention Nazi Planes Give Escape
Boats Draws Pressure From Firing Line
By J. W. T. MASON ,
United Press War Expert
( , indications from the Greek battle front that the British are hold-
ng new defensive positions along a shorter line imply that evacuation
from rear coastal points may be in process of successful accomplish-
ment.
A short line, even without great depth, might be held for several
days, especially if the Germans®—---------------
divert a considerable number of
their planes from the fighting
front to search for Anglo-Greek
evacuation craft.
If the new defensive positions
west of Athens can withstand
German pressure for the next few
days, it is possible that more
1 Greek and British troops might
get away than the original num-
ber of the British expeditionary
force that landed in Greece.
Should that be the eventual
outcome of the fighting, General
Wavell will recover more than
his Greek investment in manpower
and the Greeks can continue to
Ing craft handled by experienced
seamen. These’little vessels were
partly responsible for the safe re-
moval of Greek troops from Sa-
lonika just before the German oc-
cupation.
Though such a rescue fleet
might find it dangerous to cross
the Mediterranean to the Egyp-.
tian coast, it should be compara-
tively easy for little boats to get
to Crete, less than one day's voy-
age from Athens. Once in Crete,
a more leisurely transfer to Alex-
andria by larger ships should offer
few difficulties.
- battle the Germans in North Af-
rica. Such an eventuality, how-
ever, requires more powerful Al-levacuation by stages, it is certain
lied rearguard resistance in the that the British have many trans-
ports of large size in Greek wa-
final phase of the Greek struggle
than during the earlier retire-
11 ments.
Y The evacuations from Dunkirk
continued for nine days, during
g which time 335,000 British and
I French soldiers were rescued. The
maximum number taken off in one
night is understood to have been
1 about 66,000.
I The removals were limited to
■ the beach between Dunkirk and
■ La Panne, less than 10 miles. The
B number of craft of all kinds used
■ is not accurately known but prob-
S ably was about 1000 or a few
more.
* Conditions for evacuating Al-
D lied troops from Greece are better
1 in some ways than at Dunkirk.
W There are more places for em-
1 barking and the German troops.
■ for the present, are being held
I at more distant positions.
■ On the other hand, German avi-
: ators have gained in experience
. [ since Dunkirk. They are the prin-
- cipal obstacles to evacuation
which the Anglo-Greeks must face.
However, since the possible
exits from Greece are not as con-
centrated as they were along the
Dunkirk beaches, the Germans
must scatter their planes. Too,
, night embarkations must cause
uncertainty among the Germans
concerning the exact places
attack.
In addition to this method of
ters. If they offer too easy tar-
gets for the German air force
while in port, that difficulty could
be overocme by scattering them
about the southern Aegean.
Small boats conveying evacuees
could meet the larger steamers at
prearranged places and transfer
the soldiers and such equipment
as could be carried in the confined
cargo spaces. Thereafter, British
warships could convoy the trans-
ports across the Mediterranean in
safety.
It is probable that these evac-
uations already have taken place
under some such conditions as
these. How many more will fol-
low depends on the strain at the
fighting front.
The British may be better able
to withstand the strain in Greece
Navy Converts
Treasure Island
Into New Base
Golden State’s Fair
Site Is Considered
Ideal For Training
By United Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-
Treasure Island, in the middle of
San Francisco Bay and the largest
man-made island in the world,
has been taken over by the navy
for the duration of the present
national defense emergency.
The island was the site of the
1939-1940 Golden Gate Interna-
tional Exposition, but for the next
four or live years, at least, it will
be used as a seaplane and small
craft training base.
Navy officials found the island
an almost ideal location for the
purposes for which it is to be used.
In the first place, it is entirely
surrounded with navigable water
except for the small ramp that
connects it with the San Francisco
Bay bridge and which brings it
within 10 minutes from the center
of the city.
Buildings Are Usable
The navy also was able to util-
ize 17 of the principal buildings of
the exposition and thus save great-
ly in construction expense, and
what was even more important/

time The navy was able to move
in immediately and expects to have School. He picked up an
its first contingent of 1,000 men in 1
training within a few months.
Eventually, it expects to train
5,000 men at one time there.
Of the 17 buildings whichnthe
navy will take over, three are per-
manent. They are the administra-
tion buildings and the two vast
hangars of the Pan American Air-
ways. The latter will continue to
D. W. Wooten, 28-year-old plasterer who lives on the old Bird-
ville Rd., got ahead of his night class In welding at the M. G. Ellis
1 old Iron bed in the corner of the class-
room and started sawing it up. Then he welded it to form the
miniature windmill and tower tank that is pictured above. Mr.
Wooten's 4-year-old son, Dudley Jr., is swinging from the windmill.
Mr. Wooten, who hopes to land a job in one of the national defense
"airplane factories, printed this inscription behind the propeller on
the mill: “Turn of the Wheel for National Defense.”

The remaining 14 buildings in-

structures of the exposition and
are of vast proportions. They are
not of permanent construction but
have weathered the three years of
their existence so well the navy is
confident they can be utilized, with
proper re-conditioning for the four
or five years they will be wanted.
