Britain Hastily Scours

Meet Invasion Threat
Only 195 Planes Sent
To Allies in April; Hull
Removes an Obstacle
BY The Associated Press,

Facing the threat of invasion,
Great Britain has turned hurriedly
to the United States for machine
guns, rifles and small-arms ammu-
milton.
British purchasing agents, 1t was
reported authoritatively today, have
canvassed the stores Of dealers in
surplus munitions for weapons which
experts believed of use only to the
Home Guard units which have been
organized since the German Army
neared the English Channel.
At the same time actual orders
and negotiations suggested that both
Great Britain and France were un-
dertaking to build up in this coun-
try a second-line sources of supply
for light weapons.
Aircraft, however, continued the
prime Allied concern, but the export
figures for April did not assume
impressive proportions. France re-
ceived only 168 planes and 230 en-
gines, the United Kingdom % planes
and II engines, and Canada 4 planes.
Large-scale deliveries of the thou
sands of planes now on order are
not scheduled until late 1910 and

was removed yesterday when Secre-
tary of State Hull ruled that United

Some Divisions Out
By the Associated Press.

6y the ASSoc1ated FfeA.
LONDON, May 30.-The British
Expeditionary Force and its French
companions-in-peril fought today
toward Dunkerque and possible es-
cape in a tremendous rear-guard
battle against the death grip of the
Nazi military machine.
Germans were closing in on the
Allies despite continuous bombing
and machine cunning by the Royal
Air Force.
Some success in the withdrawal
was indicated by q statement in
authoritative circles that some di-
visions had reached the safety Of
q southeast port in England.
Meanwhile the grim struggle
goes on" these circles added.
The southeast coast of England
took on a front line" appearance,
with streams of women and chill
dren leaving it in fear of German
bombers, carrying portable possess
sions with them.
The government is expected to
order all civilians to leave the
southeast coast If Germany consoli-
dates her air bases on the French
coast-only five minutes by bomber
away from England.
Some French Evacuated.
Battling the numerically superior
Nazi air force, British aviators yes
\ terday claimed to have disabled SO
planes-a ratio of to l to their
own losses.
The at least partial success Of
the rear guard fight in Flanders was
seen in the fact that French as
well as British soldiers were brought
to safety, despite the German claim
that Dunkerque Harbor, from which
Allied Navy Is removing the fleeing
troops, had been rendered untenable
by air attacks.
Many wounded soldiers are being
safely transported across the Chan
mel to England despite the fact, the
British charge, that a hospital ship
was bombed unsuccessfully yester-
day and two others were sunk in
Dieppe Harbor recently.
