Prime Minister Churchill gave the
first official word today of the safe
arrival in England of surplus Aneri-
can Army munitions valued at S37. =

leased nearly three months ago.
Over shipping routes kept secret
World War artillery. rifles, machine
guns and ammunition have been
moving to England since they were
turned over to the British govern
ment when the Allied armies were
defeated in France.
(Mr. Churchill told the House
of Commons today immense
amounts of munitions had
reached England from the United
States without loss.)
The munitions included 100000
Lee-Enfield rifles, more than SOC
World War 75-mm. field guns, a
large number of machine guns and
an undiscloSed amount of ammuni-
ton
The British government negoti-
ated for the purchase when the
British forces in France were evac-
uated after losing the bulk of their
equipment and England appeared
to be in desperate need of weapons
of all kinds to repel threatened
invasion.
The shipments were handled by
the United States Steel Export Co.
under an arrangement whereby the
company took title to the ordnance
from the War Department to avoid
direct sale by this Government to
Great Britain.
Although they were considered
largely obsolete by modern stand
ards, the weapons were described
officially as ''usable."

Two sessions of the Rules Com

the morning and the other in the

committee lacked time to act on
the Summers resolution. Neverthe-
less, at the close of each session,

I'VE will do one thing or the
other by Wednesday about the
Summers resolution
Only 7 of the IA members of the
committee were present at yesterday
mornings session, three less than
attended last Wednesday. when Rep
resentative Summers made his appeal
for a rule. At the afternoon session
only S of the IA members attended.
Chairman SABBATH said he knew
three of these five were opposed
to granting the rule.
Representative SABBATH intimated
he was particularly anxious that
three of the absentees be present

British Admit She||inq
Of Southeast Coast
By German Gun
Cross-ChonneI Shooting
Can Have Only Nuisance
Value, They Declare
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-British mill
tary circles acknowledged today that
at least one German gun in France
has bombarded the English South
east Coast.
The possibility exists, they ad-
mitted, that the Germans might
shell London from across the chan
mel. But they declared such a
bombardment would have "only a
nuisance value"
There has been only very little
shelling" of the Southern Coast,
they said, and mo great damage"
They reported the cross-channel
bombardment possibly came from a
four-inch gun.
1T might be possible" to make a
gun with range of 100 miles, but
such gun would be "woefully in
accurate" these sources said.
London is about 80 miles on a
direct line from Calais, the nearest
French point to the English shore.
tNazi emplacement of long
range cannon on the French
shore of the English Channel
was reported shortly after the
battle of Flanders. Germans
said then that their big Ber-
thas' in Northern France could
hurl projectiles into the British
capitaD
BOmbers More Effective.
British sources, however, declared
it would be much better from the
point of view of the enemy" to use
bombers instead of long g-range guns.
One informant expressed personal
belief that it also would be silly"
for the British to attempt Smelling
the French coast with guns from
this side of the Channel.
He would not say, however,
whether Britain had fixed guns
with sufficient range
Declaring that the shelling of
Paris in the last war had little
moral effect" after the first few
rounds. this source added:
These long-range guns will not
produce a military result. The ef-
feet of their fire can be observed
only from airplanes which would
face hostile fighters themselves"
40-Mile Guns Reported.
Reports that shells as well as
bombs were falling in Southeast
England began just a week ago,
shortly after the Germans started a
mass aerial attack on the English
South Coast.
Authorities Investigated, but said
there was mo confirmation at all"
Householders. however, were con-
vinced they were being bombarded
by long-range guns because Of large
shell fragments they reported find
ing and also because casualties and
damage occurred when there were
no planes visible overhead
Unconfirmed reports in Switzer-
land said the Germans had guns at
Calais and Dunkerque capable of
firing 40 miles-more than enough
to shoot over the Channel.

Closing Red Sea Outlet

British Fleeing Berberu

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Aug. 20-Italian author
ities indicated today that opera
tionS to close Britain's gateway to
the Red Sea would be undertaken
as a sequel to the conquest of Brit
ish Somaliland and occupation of
Berbera, its capital.
Strongly implying that attacks
on Alden, on the Arabian coast of
the narrow waterways linking the
Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and
on islands in the Strait of Bah ell
Mandeb were contemplated, author
itative Fascists said the Somaliland
victory would enable their forces to
threaten the British outlet from
the Red Sea-
The occupation of Berbera, fall
of which the British announced yes
terday, was reported in today's
Italian high command communique.
Frenie~ MosSulini ordered the
Duke of Aosta, commander of the
Italian forces on this front. to lead
them against new objectives after
a period of rest.
Little Resistance Seen in East.
THE eastern parts (of British
Somallland), from Berbera to the
frontier of Italian Somaliland, offer
little possibility of resistance an
official Italian statement asserted.
There the work of our troops will
become policing action"
The British troops defeated in
Somaliland numbered about 1880
Italians estimated. Presumably only
white troops were evacuated, since
officials said not only the famous
Camel Corps but also other native
troops, particularly South Africans,
had surrendered
The number of Italian troops in
the three columns which converged
on Berbera was not disclosed. but
an official said more than half of
them were Italians. British reports
of heavy losses among Blackshirt
italian troops showed the predomi-
nance Of Italians over natives in
the attacking forces, he said.
Drive Took IA Days.
British failure to reinforce the
Berbera garrison adequately was in
terpreted in Italian circles as an
indication that the British Empire
lacks sufficient man power for its
defense
The offensive which began August
5 was pushed to victory in only IA
days. although most of the advance
was across parched, tree-less wastes,
without any protection against des-
ert heat ranging from l22 to 140
degrees Fahrenheit.
Mussohni sent a telegram of
eulogy to his victorious troops and
exchanged messages of fellclta-
ton with Fuehrer Hitler, it was an
nounced.
Part of City in Flames.
The British troops retreating from
Berbera by sea left part of the city
in flames, a communiQue said.
The high command also reported
that a submarine of unknown ma
tionality had hit an Italian mine
near the Dodecanese Islands, in the
Eastern Mediterranean. A large
patch of oil On the sea led to the
belief it had sunk.
In surprise attack on British po-
sitions at Gallabat. in the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan, the Italians said,
they took prisoners and captured
large quantities Of munitions.
