Clean Guns For
Nazi Parachutes
Thouj.mds of British,
Old And Young Will
Guard Island
By SIDNEy J. WILLIAMS
United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, May 16. IU.R) — Men
too old and boys too young for
frontline fighting took dusty
sporting guns out W the closets
today and volunteered to stand
guard' against the possibility of
a German parachute assault on
the British Isles.
The tread of invaders' feet had
not been heard on English soil
since William of Normandy lanc-
ed in 10B6 and won the battle ot
Hastings, but today the fear of
an enemy raining out of ainplan-
cs has brought forth an army of
"minute men."
A thousand volunteers, ranging
in age from 17 to 65, already have
appeared at police stations and
more are pouring in by the min-
ute. They came in answer to a
speech by war minister Anthony
Eden, who appealed by radio last
night for volunteers for local de-
fense forces, and said plans were
being made to repeal parachute
troops.
Hardly had hia words gone over
the air than Britorw began oiling
automatic pistols and sporting
guns.
ALL AJ?K CALIJCD
Newspapers today reported that
one of the volunteers was a man
who apparently was trying to
condone for a grievous breach of
the British sporting code. He had
been accused of shooting a fox
instead of running down the ani-
mal on horscbaok. and it was
presumed he would be forgiven in
view of the fact he had showed
up with his gun and signified a.
Willingness to guard against a
parachute invasion.
All Walks of life responded to
Eden's plea. At Edinburgh 150
persons, including youth, former
army officers, lawyers and univer
sity professors, had registered as
volunteers before 9 a. m. Business
men mingled with students and
professors at Oxford University.
Among the volunteers .were sev-
eral crack shots who have com-
peted in the Bisley rifle shooting
.0 ! tournament, including. GapU T. S.
' Smith, winner la3t year of the
kin's prize.
W OMEN ACT, TOO
Serious minded persons do not
ridicule the possibility of a para-
chue blitzkrieg, and in many horn'
es women were taking measures
to ace that their children shall
not go hungry if the Germans
pl ice isolated towns in a state ot
seige. They began putting in
stocks of canned goods while the
men of the household got guns
ready for action.

County Farmers
v
Use AAA Advice
Chairman Claims Soil

Federal Payments
An estimated -415 farmers of
Stephens County havc used the
assistance of AAA committee-
men in working out farm plans
to cover their 1940 farming oper-
ations, according- to C. B. Waller,
chairman of County AAA Com-
mittee.
The farm plans already work-
ed out indicate that small farm-
ers, morc than cvevr before, are
taking advantage of the conserva-
tion provisions of thc AAA pto-j
gr.im to carry out the practices j
most needed on their farms.
"AAA payments made to farm- ;
crs to help them carry out con-
servation practices do not begin
to represent the ti lie value of
such practices," Mr. Waller says, j
"For every dollar paid out for
soil-building practices under the j
AA Farm Program, it i-; estim it- i
cd that the farm incomn will be
increased hy several dollars as •
result of the increased productiv-
ity of the soil."

said thc Germans apparently wera
willing to "lose any amount of

those in Belgium.
About 45,000 fresh German
troops were hurled into battle
near Sedan, France, adding to
two million on both sides now
battling along a 200-mile front
from Antwerp down Dylc and
Mucse rivers to Sedan. British
troops drove thc Germans from
Louvain, near Brussels, in fierce
counter attacks.
Germans jubilantly claimed that
submarines were ready for
launching from thc Dutch and
Belgian bases against Great
Britain.
Charging German tanks tore
gaps in the Allied positions on thc
Mucse Wednesday after crossing
the river at thrcs points along
thc fifty-mile front from Namur,
Belgium, to Sedan in Northern
France.
Thc Germans shifted their as-
saults to this sector after meet-
ing strong French counterattacks
in the Sedan regioa just to the -
south, and were retorted to have
penetrated to thc interior of the
French dispositions
'In thc face. of. the serious ncw
situation, the French command
has abandoned the war of posi-
tion and begun a war of move-
ment," a War Ministry spokes-
man said.
Allies Launch Counterattack*
"Thc high command has re-
grouped and launched counterat-
tacks, which are now underway,"
he -said.
The change from stationary to
mobile warfare meant that the
French had decided to abandon
their fortifications and fight thc
battle of thc Mcuse in the field
to meet the Reichswehr threat.
