Dr. Robert R. Moton, President Emeritus 0f Tuskegee, Dies Famous Negro Educator Was Native of Amelia County, Va. By the Associated Press. GLOUCESTER, Va., June 1—Dr. Robert R. Moton, 72, president emeritus of Tuskegee Institute, died at his home, in Gloucester County, last night, exactly five years from the date of his retirement. Dr. Moton, born on an Amelia County (Va.) plantation, the son of s slave, succeeded Booker T. Wash- ington as president of Tuskegee and became known as one of the most famous Negro educators in America. ‘When Dr. Moton was little more than a boy he conceived the idea that he would like to grow up and be & leader of his race. At the time his prospects for realizing his ambition did not ap- pear much more. optimistic than cherishing the idea. He had been a chore boy around the home of a| Presbyterian minister in Virginia, where one of his particular jobs was to brush the clothes and shine the shoes of the minister's son George. By a strange coincidence, the boys, who were about the same age, eventually were installed as heads of the leading educational institu- tions of their respective races in Ala- bama. George became Dr. George H. Denny, president of the Univer- sity of Alabama, and Robert, prin- cipal of Tuskegee Institute, world- famed Negro school. Not an Easy Path. Dr. Moton’s path to the goal he| had dreamed of was not an easy one. | After being an errand boy he was| waiter in the “big house,” then fore- man in a lumber camp. In all his| activities he displayed a remarkable | faculty for making friends among | white people as well as Negroes.

A War Ministry spokesman said the battle still was continuing. The morning communique of the high command, describing the ac- tion, gave no details of the Dun- kerque situation, but said French and British forces “of the land, sea and air continued a furious fight in full solidarity to resist a German push and assure evacuation.” Nazis Bring Reinforcements. The renewal of German activity along the Somme, including an at- tack against the one French bridge- head on the northern bank, was de- layed apparently pending the arri- val of Nazi reinforcements. The lo- cation of the bridgehead was not disclosed. The Germans were described as having been unable to resist French efforts to mop up the southern bank yesterday. After the French had consolidated their position at the unidentified bridgehead, the Germans launched a series of attacks aimed at both | the northern and southern positions from which they had been pushed. The assaults failed, a French spokesman said. The action in this area extends over a front approximately 2 miles ! wide and is continuing. The fate of some units retreating from Flanders remained a subject of deep concern. Though two of | Gen. Rene Jacques Adolphe Prioux’ motorized French divisions that have been standing off the attempts of Nazi panzer units to thwart the withdrawal were reported to have reached Dunkerque, two others were said to be isolated. Allied planes dropped ammunition, food and medical supplies to these isolated troops as they attempted to fight their way toward the coast, 15 miles away. A thin armored wall of tanks guarded their flanks in a modern version of the ancient phalanx. The fate of Gen. Prioux himself, reported by the Germans to have been captured, remained obscure. Military sources said no informa- | tion had been received for some time from the two encircled French divisions and the chances for their successful evacuation appeared to be dwindling. The Germans were reported vir- tually to have abandoned the use of tanks in the Dunkerque sector as a result of the flooding of the sur- rounding terrain by the opening of flood gates. Ferry Across Channel. Racing against a break in the weather, a great fleet of transports shuttled back and forth across the foggy English Channel in a des- perate attempt to salvage as much as possible of a force which once totaled more than 270,000 men. While the gigantic rescue task proceeded under the guns of Allied ‘warships, the French army of the center, supported by the second British expeditionary force now being formed in France, was re- ported to be mopping up the Abbe- ville sector at the mouth of the Somme. (It was not clear whether the cated that the evacuation of the Allied troops in that area had con- | tinued throughout a night made hellish by the glare of gunfire and | exploding bombs. Allied anti-aircraft. however, was said to have made ineffective the at- tacks of German bombers which braved the adverse weather. Lines of troops streamed into the city, reduced to a shambles by days of heavy German shelling, and were embarked on the beaches in small boats which took them out to the waiting transports. The withdrawal was described as orderly. Despite the bad flying conditions Allied aviation apparently was con- tinuing extended operations to pro- tect the withdrawal from Flanders. Hinting at hazardous operations carried out in dirty weather by Al- lied flyers was a terse French Air Ministry communique which said: “Thanks to our experience in blind flying our crews reached the points to be flown over without difficulty.” Fiercest Fighting of War. The aerial fighting was described as the fiercest of the war as Allied pursuit planes strove to keep the skies clear of German bombers. In one engagement, 14 Royal Air Force Hurricane fighters were re- ported to have tackled 24 Heinkel | bombers, guarded by 20 Messer- schmitts. Without losing a man or a plane, the British were said to have shot down nine bombers and one Messerchmitt. Throughout yesterday, during which they rained bombs on Ger- |man troop concentrations and de- pots, the British—operating from bases in England—were reported to have lost only one plane. French sources said that the Ger- ‘ man ground forces have been suf- fering heavy losses. (An official British broadcast, picked up in New York today by C. B. 8, said French authorities had found German documents “confirming” Nazi losses of 500,- 000 men since May 10.) Attempts of German mechanized units to close in an Dunkerque and | disrupt the Allied embarkation were hampered by the opening of locks which flooded low-lying water around the city to an average depth of a foot and one-half. French Hold Southern Front. Reports from the southern front, following the line of the Somme, Aisne and Meuse Rivers, indicated that the French were holding their positions everywhere despite per- sistent German thrusts. H. Taylor Henry, Associated Press | correspondent at the front, said the action was marked by sporadic artil- lery duels, punctuated by attacks by German dive bombers and clashes between mechanized units. The general commanding the Rethel sector, 100 miles from Paris, told Henry how his troops had established and held for four days a bridgehead on the north side of the Aisne to cover the withdrawal of the rest of the army to a strong line south of the river. It was the defense of this bridge- head which was largely responsible for halting the German drive toward Paris at the same time the Nazis were racing for the Channel. | guished itself especially. | On the southern front near Abbe- | ville enemy tank attacks foundered. | In a forward thrust following the | attack we gained ground there.

Bombing operations against the | enemy in Flanders were continued | yesterday evening and during the Inight by medium heavy bombers. Hits were obtained on enemy troops on the march, on motor transport columns and on heavy artillery. Lock gates and bridges were de- stroyed. naissance aircraft were lost in these operations. A later Air Ministry communi= que said: Three Nazi torpedo motorboats prowling off the Belgian coast in the hope of attacking British Ex- peditionary Force transports were attacked by aircraft this morning. One of them was sunk. Aircraft belonging to the fleet air arm unit co-operating with the coastal command spotted motor tor- pedo boats cruising in a line astern. They opened fire on an airplane, which dropped a line of six bombs. A minute after the bursts the pilot saw that two of the motorboats were stationary and silent. There was no sign of the third.

He declined to say whether the new materials had been considered by his father, Henry Ford, who re- cently said the Ford plants could turn cut 1,000 planes a day if neces- sary. “While I'm not a technical man, it looks as if plastics will have an important future in aviation,” Edsel Ford said in an interview.
