Oil Increase To Aid State Funds
Governor Miles said a ten cent per barrel raise in New Mexico crude will raise more than 1000 dollars daily in state taxes. The hike plus a prior seven cent rise adds about 500 dollars for the school tax and 500 dollars for the severance tax, with 30 dollars for oil conservation tax. He claimed it boosts operators income by 17,000 dollars a day and supports oil industry activity and jobs. He tied the move to cooperation with the oil compact commission and to market demand per the U S Bureau of Mines.

Crete as Nazi By-Pass Target in Near East Drive
The German push on Crete signals a deeper strategy to block Turkish aid to the Allies and open a land and air route from the Balkans toward the Near East. Diplomats report Nazi rail movements through Turkey to Iraq while Crete would aid bombing but not open a sea corridor to Syria. The Turks remain neutral, complicating a direct invasion as Germany seeks a least-resistance path to tighten pressure on Turkey and secure supply lines.
