which made the contrast beyond the lines seen: all the more shocking. From ‘a height of approximately [2000 feet near Abbeville, which is held by the Germans, we could see | well into Nazi territory.

A [he ace half obscured ' the. below us, but beyond | Abbevill a columns of smoke | towered ‘into the sky, one in particular making & spectacular smudge as it mingled with the | clouds. Reaching the Channel, we circled southward briefly and then headed { toward England.

{launched their vicious new attack against the British, French and Belgians in Flanders. Calais, like most cities in northern France and Belgium, is said to have been demolished and Boulogne and Dunkirk badly smashed. Sparing neither hospitals nor women and children refugees, the Germans have hell-dived, bombed land machine-gunned everything in sight, then set fire to the ruins. Despite Nazi bombers, machinegunners and snipers, some of them within less than 200 feet, Allied destroyers ‘went into Boulogne—a harbor so small, that they could not turn around without backing— rescued the battered remnants of Eritish = and French defending forces, and then slid out stern foremost, so .overloaded. that they careened perilously.

Witnesses say that men were slaughtered like flies, but the survivors carried on as steadily as if on dress parade.

NOLAN DRAFTS WPA ANSWER

Kortepeter Attorney Claims Women Excluded From. Grand Jury.

U. S. Attorney Val Nolan today worked on his reply to a defendant’s brief contending*that a WPA fraud case indictment should be invalidated because women had been excluded from the grand jury. The brief, filed yesterday by Paul Y. Davis, attorney for Carl F. Kort-

epeter, one of five defendants in the case, was being studied also by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell, before whom the case will be tried. Other defendants in the case are Arthur V. Brown, Miss Elizabeth C. Claypool, Arthur F. Eickhoff and Charles E. Jefferson.

June 5 Deadline Answer Arguments of Mr. Brown's attor-

neys on the question of excluding

women from the jury will be heard June 24. Other attorneys failed to file additional briefs following the

week. Mr. Nolan has until Saturday to reply to Mr. Davis and Mr. Davis has until June 5 to make his answer to Mr. Nolan. Mr. Davis argued that the defendant had been injured by the fact that women were not on the jury becausg-“women as a class are more likely than men as a class to be sympathetic and ready to credit the honest intent of one who is charged with acts which have resulted in the employment of wage earners.” The Government has charged Mr. Kortepeter, former Marion €ounty WPA co-ordinator, with having used WPA funds and labor to Build roads on land belonging to Mr. Brown, Miss Claypool and Mr. Eickhoff, Statute Not Expressive

“There is no positive or express provision of the statute which forcommis-

sioner to exclude all Catholics, all

trade unionists from juries.” Mr. Davis said, answering Mr. Nolan's

bidding the exclusion of women.

Nolan Backs Jury Selection

“The very fact that no attempt as made to give any reason whatever for the exclusion of women as class shows that the clerk and the ommissionrer have attempted to llow their own ideas of justice ather than the rules prescribed by { Congress.” Mr. Nolan had argued at last eek’s hearing that to invalidate he indictment . the defendants would have to show that-Miss Claypool or some other defendant had Jbeen positively prejudiced by the fact that no women’s names were in the box from which the grand Jury which indicted them was drawn by Court Clerk A.

The shy, curly-haired King arrived at his bombshell decision. to surrender at 5 a. m. Saturday after an all night argument with four of his Cabinet members. Met in Wynondal Chateau The five men met in the chateau of Wynondal, near Thourout, south of Bruges, then 50 miles from the advancing German troops. The story of that meeting was related by a heartsore, weary man, Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian Foreign Minister-and former Premier. Here is Spaak’s account of the meeting: “The King invited the cabinet to his residence and told us frankly that latest military reports showed the Belgian Army was bearing the brunt of attack and suffering heavy losses. ‘Tried to Get Him to Listen’ dh his opinion, he said, the Belgian Army should withdraw ‘from the war. “We made a last effort to convince the King, to get him to.listén to our pleas to quit the Army and go either to France or England, leaving the active field command to the Belgian General Staff. “The King refused. He said he had no intention of quitting Belgian soil, and invited us to remain with him to await the arrival of the Germans. “In the face of the King’s formal declaration, we told him {frankly that we -did not share his views

to leave with us immediately. Our efforts were futile, so when daylight came, we quit the castle and went to Dunkirk. “We did not want, by our oresence alongside the King at Wynondal, to appear to sanction his decision.” : Refugees Shocked

War weary Belgian refugees expressed shock and amazement over Leopold's surrender. Some of them had fought alongside Leopold’s father, the late King Albert, through four years of the World War. The younger ones exRressed a determination -to fight with the soldiers of Pritain and France in the hope that some day their country might be restored to them.
