Coward Opposes Hoover
Feed Conquered Plan
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-Noel Cow
ard, British playwright and actor,
expressed opposition yesterday to
Herbert Hoover's proposal that the
United States send part of it's food
surplus into German conquered
countries.
Such aid, Coward said in an in
terview before boarding a train for
California, would benefit the Ger
mans and enable them to continue
the war longer.
Except to say that sometimes
people make attacks through mis-
information" he declined comment
on the discussion in the House of
Commons last week as to why he and
Oracle Fields were allowed to 60 to
the United States.
Coward said that during his stay
in this country he had seen Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Lord Lothian,
British Ambassador.
During the questioning in
Commons as to whether Cow
ard was on an official mission,
Harold Nicolson, parliamentary
secretary of the Ministry of
Information, replied that the
playwright had contacts with
certain sections of American
opinion which are very difficult

Purvis DiscIoses Offer
To Supply Part Of
1000 Croft Asked

BY the Associated Press.
Arthur B. Purvis, chief British
purchasing agent, disclosed TODAY
that the United States had offered
to supply the British with between
1900 and 1,4O0 of the 5000 fighting
planes monthly they had requested.
Delivery of the planes. however,
would not start before "late 194l,'
he added.
Mr.. Purvis said this smaller pro-
gram had been suggested by William
s. Knudsen of the Defense Com
mission.
The British wanted the larger
number starting next January, but
Mr.. Knudsen suggested that they
plan on a smaller number beginning
late in 1941."
Mr.. Purvis said the proposals
were still in the study stage. He
could not predict what eventual
arrangements might be made. He
likewise declined to say how many
planes would be delivered under
existing contracts.
He said he was here to discuss
the matter with officials and also
to introduce Charles Richard Fairey,
noted British yachtsman and air.
plane manufacturer, who has come
here to assist in the purchasing

Austin Says Nazis Plan
South American Invasion

A warning that Germany already
has planned a parachute inva-
sion" of South America, dependent
on the defeat Of Great Britain.
was sounded in radio address last
night by Senator Austin, Repub-
lican, of Vermont, who favors pas
sage of the Burke -Wadsworth con-
scription bill.
Senator Austin said it "was no
secret that Germany has established
her commercial airlines In such a
way that she already has air bases,
gasoline supplies, interchangeable
parts and actual planes in operation
in this vital and strategic area"
Questioned on the possibilities OF
an attack on the United States as
early as this fall, he said: Since
Hitler has struck at both France
and England before they were ade-
quately prepared, it is prudent to
conclude that he would strike at the
Western Hemisphere before we are
prepared"
Senator Austin spoke over a Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. network and
was questioned by Drew Pearson and

Capital Photographer Injured
In Plane Crash in Storm Area
Craft Noses Over
On Inundated Field
At Florence, 5. c.

Tim Elkins, Associated Press pho
tographer who lives at 1721 H street
NV, was injured yesterday in a
plane crack-up at Florence, s. C.
He was trying to reach the hurri-
e-stricken area along the Caro-
lima coast to make pictures.
Mr. Elkins left Washington about
II am. yesterday. in a small cahin
plane piloted by Bill Payne of the
Washington Air Service, Inc.
They flew through heavy weather,
which got increasingly worse as
they neared the hurricane area. At
Florence they decided to land for
gas and for a weather report.
The small fielo there was covered
with water, 18 inches deep in many
places, and the earth was soft from
the soaking it had received. The
plane plowed into the water with
a splash, then suddenly went over
on its nose.
Mr.. Elkins sustained a severe cut
on the forehead, which necessitated
five stitches: two fractured ribs and
a number of bad bruises. He re-
turned to Washington this morning
by train, reported to his office and
was sent home to bed. Mr.. Payne
was unhurt.

that food and medical supplies al
ready in the cities are able to
care for the emergency, but power
