Double Tank Column Makes
Spectacular Dashes Into

FRENCH ATTACKING
FRANCE

PARIS, June g. (AP) -
The Germans struck with at
least 100000 men in a
Tightening semi-circle about
Paris and raced panzer divi-
sions to a region but IS miles
northwest of Paris in a
double lightning thrust today
as Generalissimo Weygand

A double tank column,

French west flank, made

suburbs of Rouen and toward

The Germans push in the

early today from severe set
backs and losses, but later
their offensive was going

the capital.
Offensive Checked

the campaign farther east to

SWISS BELIEVED
IN GREAT DANGER

visions Slip Quietly Into
The Black Forest

BERN, June 9-tR-SWitzerland
seemed in greater danger tonight
than at any time since the war
began.
Fresh German reserve divisions
slipped quietly into the Black forest
during the night and Italy's exc
pected entry into the conflict SEEM
ed more imminent than ever
The statement of Gen. Maxine
Weygand, Allied commander in
chief, that the German offensive
will extend tomorrow as far as
Switzerland led military experts
in Switzerland to say that Basel
appeared in great danger.
1t was said that if the Germans
20 divisions in the Black forest
should strike at France it was IN
likely they would try a suicidal
attack across the Rhine into the
guns of the Maginot line.
The logical German moves in
that direction would be an attempt
to outflank the Maginot line by
invading Switerzerland east Of Ba-
sci and then swing west into
France.
The French command in lower
Alsace apparently had the same
idea. French artillery tonight shell
led German railroads, highways
and artillery emplacements north
Of Basel.
In the last three weeks French
shells have destroyed the German
Rhine railroad south of Istein and
the rail junction at Weile north of
Basel. The Germans did not reply
with any artillery in the Basel
region, but shelled the French fort
south of Strasbourg.
One of the danger signs for the
Swiss was that German divisional

In the last three weeks more

German troops, carried out yes

The British said II German air

The flames revealed five rail

There was a succession OF great
explosions as the cars blew up.
Giving details of the raids on

DRIVE ON LABOR
CITED BY Smith
SAYS Efforts Are Under Way
To Identify Workers
With Fifth Column

WASHINGTON, June 9-RNEd-
win S. Smith, national labor board
member, asserted today that a
drive to identify American labor
with a fifth column" had been
instituted by those persons in and
out of government who have Wig
orously opposed all forms of pro-
gressive legislation for the protec-
ton of labor"
In an address prepared for de-
livery before the national confer
ence on constitutional liberties,
said:
when the term fifth column
comes to be allied is it has al
ready been by members Of con-
gress to one great branch of the
American labor movement, o n e
can discern a deliberate attempt
in certain quarters to fasten this
ing1orious epithet not upon the foes
of democracy but upon those
groups who have every reason to
be most concerned with upholdlng
democracy"
He did not identify the branch
of the labor movement.
Smith added that there was
more than meets the casual eye
also in the widespread agitation,
by the state and federal govern.

that because among our alien
population we may harbor some

FIVE AIRCRAFT
 COMPANIES SPEAK
Willing To Cooperate In Every Way To Build
 Planes For Govt.

Washington, Aug. 21-(UP)-The presidents of five of the nations larg- est aircraft companies said today in 8 joint statement that airplane manufacturers ''have offered and will continue to give the govern ment every resource and facility at their command" in the interest of national defense.
 "We are ready to build airplanes first and talk about profits after ward," they said. "To this end the industry is making rapid progress" |"
 The statement was signed by Pres dent Donald w. Douglas of the Douglas Aircraft Co.,; Robert E. Gross, president of Lockheed Air. craft Co.,; President P. G. Johnson. of Boeing Airplane Co.,; R. W. Millar, president of Vultee Aircraft, Inc, and R. H. Fleet, president of Con- solidated Aircraft Go.
 It was made public after it was revealed that army and navy off, cials had told members of the Sen- ate, deficiency appropriations sub- committee, considering the $5,008,- 900, 900 total defense" bill, that the two services had been unable to place orders for 5,275 airplanes because manufacturers objected to statutory limitations on profits. Some con- gressmen commented that manufac- turers apparently were waiting to see if the pending excess-profits tax bill will include provisions for short term amortization of expenditures for increased facilities.
 "In spite of many obstacles. and lack of proper legislation" the state ment said, i've have gone ahead with preparations for increasing our pro- duction to meet the current challenge to America and build up aerial de- fense so vital to our national se- curity.
 Tn the last 10 weeks members of the industry have actually purchased on their own responsibility more than $l00, 0,000, 900 worth of materials for future use and have spent or contracted for more than $5,0O0.0O0 in additional plant facilities and have added to their payrolls 21 1000 new employees"
