The British bombed the main Italian air bases in Eritrea on the southern Red sea and In Libya on the Mediterranean, and claimed destruction i of planes on the ground and gasoline and bomb supplies. U. Italy lashed back with eight air raids on the British naval base at Malta and was reported to have struck at Tunisia and Corsica. In France, despite sudden thund erstonns which hampered the German planes and tanks, the at tack of Adolf Hitler's heavy le gions was marked by the "great est violence'' the entire length of the great double-curving line from the sea to the Maginot forts, the French said. ;. In broad terms, the battle line apparently extended across France in this fashion: From the Bresle river near its mouth on the channel south and west to Rouen and along the Seine from Rouen to Vernon; East and northeast to the Oise river and through the ; forest of Compiegne; j South somewhere near Chateau Thierry and 'along the Marne to an area southwest of Reims; Thence north and east around Reims to an area in the Vesle river valley east of Reims; Almost due north to the Rethel vicinity, and, south of the Aisne, along the Reoutne river into the Argonne forest and eastward to the Maginot line. The French said that under cover of smoke bombs the Ger mans tried to bridge the Seine between Rouen and Vernon and to ferry tanks across on portable boats, but the defenders were counter-attacking there, j In addition to the German at tack west of the Oise, they said German tanks were making an attempt to encircle Reims. A heavy German tank drive from Ferte-Mflon to Fere-en- Tardenois found only a French rear guard, the main body already having fallen back to the south bank of the Marne. The rain, j pouring through a pall of bomb-fired battle-smoke that drifted over Paris, fell black ly on the besieged city. Parisian shop fronts were steel shuttered. rifle-bearing police patrolled the streets, nearly deserted except for the scurrying of occasional refu gees, and silent except for the echo of anti-aircraft fire. The government already has removed, evidently to Tours in east central ( France. The Germans contended that two French armies had lost 400, 000 to 600,000 men captuVed or killed and that "no uniform French line of defense is, left." Around the world, the British navy was busy pouncing on Italian merchant ships; 24 were reported captured and; at least three scut tled to escape capture. Another flurry of naval action came in an old battle area when the British dropped bombs on two German cruisers and a transport at Trondheim, Norway.

Rpady to Produce Planes Says Ford WASHINGTON. June U.-(JP- Edsel Ford told reporters today the Ford Motor company could turn out thousands of powerful airplane engines of the type wanted for Uncle Sam's fighting planes. After a conference with Wil liam S. Knudsen, member of the national defense advisory commis sion, Ford said they talked mostly about production of airplane en gines. This is regarded as the principal "bottleneck" in achiev ing President Roosevelt's goal of 50,000 planes per year production capacity. Ford declined to say what type of engine- the government wanted him to produce. However, the army's P-40 pursuit plane which Ford engineers looked over yes terday is powered with an Allison liquid-cooled engine. The Allison engine Is produced by a company connected with General Motors.
