PARIS, June 3.—Continued ex- cursions by German bombing and reconnaissance squadrons into Southeastern France were reported today by a military spokesman, who declined to give details of the re- sults, The spokesman, echoing views ex- pressed by Telegrance, semi-official news agency, expressed belief that the display of German air activity in Southern France had a “political significance.” French commentators had sug- gested that raids on the Rhone Valley over the week end, in which at least 56 persons were killed and 100 injured, were carried out to im- press Italy with the ability of the German air force to assist on a possible new southern front. New Drive on Dunkerque. Meanwhile, German land, sea and air forces renewed savage attacks on Dunkerque, the military spokes- man said, making evacuation of the remaining Allied forces there “in- creasingly difficult.” The Nazi attacks failed, however, to halt the withdrawal operations, the spokesman declared, largely due to the work of the British and French air forces which covered the exodus successfully. The Allied planes, it was said, shot down large numbers of German fighters, bombed lines of communi- cation and strafed the swift tor- pedo-carrying motorboats with which the Germans have been attacking transports. The land front in France was re- with only localized activity which resulted in no change of position. Summary of Situation. The French spokdman summar- ized the situation along the south- ern front this way: Along the Somme, “almost com- plete calm.” Along the Aisne, feeble activity of | contact units. Between the Aisne and Chiers | River, near the northern end of the | Maginot Line, light artillery fire on both sides without definite results. Light artillery fire in the Rethel | region, approximately 100 miles northeast of Paris. East of the Moselle River, on the | upper end of the Maginot Line, two | German raids of small size against French outposts were repulsed. Gen. Georges Blanchard and Gen. Rene Jacques Prioux, France's two heroes of the battle of Flanders, have been raised to higher rank in the | Legion of Honor on recommenda- | tion of Generalissimo Maxlme Wey- gand. A communique from Premler Rey- naud’s office said that Gen. Blanch- ard, commander of the Allied arm- ies in Northern France, had been raised to the highest rank, the Grand Creoss, in the Legion of Honor. Gen. Prioux, commander of the first French Army which still is covering the Allies’ withdrawal from Dunkerque, was made a grand offi- | cer of the Legion. Gen. Prioux’s whereabouts have not been reported for days. (The Germans have claimed him and his staff as prisoners of war.) Lull Expected Now. Military commentators in Paris expressed the belief there would be a lull of between three days and two weeks before the Nazi military ma- chine launches another major drive. They pointed out that the 40 German divisions which forced the Allied northern army to the sea had suffered tremendous losses on land and in the air and said both the Allies and the Germans had reached “a period of waiting in which each side is preoccupied with prepara- tions.” As if in confirmation of this, the French high command in its morn- ing communique said merely: “No new incidents during the night.” The emergency withdrawal from beleaguered Dunkerque was nearly at an end, as a fleet of 300 or more Allied warships and merchant ves- | sels of every description sought to ferry the last French, British and Belgian troops to safety. While the rescue snips arrived, took on their passengers and steamed away again, Germany infantry, wading waist-deep through Dunker= que’s flooded marshes, faced a bar- rage of artillery fire from the Allies covering the retreat and waiting hopefully for the appearance of the last units of the army of Gen. Prioux. Tank Use Abandoned. It was Gen. Prioux’s tanks and armored cars which played a vital part in covering the 40-mile with- drawal from Lille to the sea after King Leopold III's capitulation ex- posed the Allied northern flank. The remaining units of the Prioux rear- guard early today were reported only 15 miles from Dunkerque. Forced to abandon their tanks be- cause of the flooding of the ground in front of Dunkerque, the Germans were said to be using 15 divisions— 200,000 men—in their attempt to overpower the Allied defense forces. But the imminence of completion of the Dunkerque operations was indicated by a& high command com- munique which, assuming the tone of a review of actions already com- pleted, said the "greater part of the troops retiring to the coast already have been embarked.” It was reported a small British garrison still was blocking complete German occupation of Calais, on the coast 25 miles from Dunkerque and only 22 miles from Dover, England. Provisioned by parachute, as are the Dunkerque forces, the British held Calais’ 17th century citadel, whose thick walls and underground galleries were proving stout protec- tion against German tanks and brmbers. Rest of Front Quiet. The rest of the front was re- ported quiet, restricted to unsuccess- ful Nazi attempts to cross the Somme at Corble and Peronne in rubber boats and to artillery fire in the east, between the Maginot and Siegfried lines. Premier Paul Reynaud, after & visit to the Somme-Aisne line which at some points is only 70 miles | north of Paris, reported the army’s (] THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1940.

The French press, awaiting Pre- | mier Mussolini's meeting with the Italian cabinet tomorrow, speculated on whether I1 Duce would throw down the gauntlet in the form of a “war or peace” ultimatum. News- papers were agreed that Italy's hour to act has arrived. ‘The government meanwhile enact- ed new emergency measures which added 22 central and west coast departments to the army zone, which already includes Paris; cut off service on public telephones, and prohibited long-distance calls on private phones.

Still tightening their defenses against direct invasion, the British pushed their roundup of suspected “fifth columnists” and announced creation of a Scientific Food Com- | mittee to appraise Britain’s food needs exactly and study how to fill them. The press centered its attention upon “Hitler’'s next blow” as the evacuation of the B. E. F. continued. A further smash at France ‘“pos- sibly in conjunction with Italy” was predicted by the Yorkshire Post, which urged that a new B. E. F. be sent to France “at the earliest pos- sible moment” and that Britain be turned into an “Island fortress armed and vigilant to resist every onslaught and every subterfuge.” Untoward repercussions in the diplomatic field were reported by informed British observers as a result of the “blitzkrieg” advances. The Yorkshire Post said hopes for Balkan solidarity were impared “while Turkey remains loyal to her Anglo-French alliance and Rumania yields to German influence, Yugo- slavia and Bulgaria look to Russia for protection. “Meanwhile, anxiety as to Italy’s intentions extends to those of Spain. | Falangist demonstrations on Sir Samuel Hoare's arrival in Madrid as new British Ambassador to Spain and the departure of a Span- ish military mission for Berlin are discomforting signs.” Prime Minister Churchill is sched- uled to make a statement in the 10 am, E. 8. T.) on the withdrawal of the British Expeditionary Force from Flanders. Eden Cheers Nation. The nation was cheered by the announcement of War Secretary Anthony Eden that “more than four-fifths” of the British troops which the Germans had claimed “trapped” in Flanders already have reached England. Mr. Eden, who spoke briefly over the radio yesterday, indicated more rescued, in addition to “tens of thousands of our French Allies.” He said that other French troops had been removed to France. Although large units of the Allied navies were employed around Dun- kerque, the operations were carried out at the same time as reinforce- ments were being sent to the British-French naval concentration in the Eastern Mediterranean, it was said. Ready for Italy. Informed sources said the Medi- terranean fleet has been “consider- ably” strengthened to meet any eventuality and is now more than a match for any sea force Italy could muster in event of her entry into the war. Diplomatic circles said the Allies had gone as far as they can go in offering negotiations with Premier Mussolini for satisfaction of Italy’s “legitimate aspirations.” It was generally believed here the com!| an answer to questions concern- ing Italy’s intentions. The Allied attitude, reflected by .press and radio, appeared:to be that there are no difficulties with Italy that cannot be settled without re- course to force, but that if Mus- solini decides for war the Allies are ready to meet the threat. There were unconfirmed reports that Mr. Churchill, shortly after assuming office, had sent Mussolini a letter expressing Britain's will- | ingness to discuss Italy’s territorial aspirations in post-war settlements. Operations on the active war front, meanwhile, were highlighted by of- ficial announcement of new British successes in the air over Dunkerque. The Air Ministry declared that | British fighter planes had destroyed or severely damaged 169 German planes in that area over the week jend and estimated British losses at 37. American-built Hudson bombers were credited with playing an im- portant part in these air battles.

Taft Asks Inclusion 0f the Negro in Arms Program Air Force Work Is Cited; Ohio Senator Calls for Definite Defense Plan Senator Taft of Ohio, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, yesterday called for a definite plan for defense and urged the inclusion of the Negro in the preparedness program. He spoke at the annual men’s day service of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. “Some one should, first of all,” he declared, “make a definite plan of what we are going to defend. The great question, indeed, is not what is the plan, but who is to make up that plan. An advisory board has been set up, but who are they going to advise? That is the important question.” Pointing out that the American Negro is just as concerned with de- fense as others, Senator Taft said that “he should be an integral part of the increases in the Army and Navy, and in the mobilization of industries.” The Negro is well suited for work Nazi Bombers Press Raids in Southeastern France in connection with the developmens ; of the air force and should be em¢ ployed in proportion to his percente age of the population, the Ohioan added. Establishment of a totalitarian government in the United States would “in nowise be good for the Negro, who constitutes a minority group,” Senator Taft declared. “We should not, under any eir- cumstances, give unlimited powers to any one man,” he continued. “There is no reason why Congress should not stay here and do its work—for which its members ara paid.” S0Kool- ,4td ¢ ..KEEP COOL FALSE TEETH REPAIRED WHILE YOU WAIT ROBT B.
