No Poppies Blooming In Flanders Fields! CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 30 President James Bryant Con-aof Harvard university urged last night that the United States give every aid to the allies short of entering the European war. "The actions we propose might eventuate in war, but fear of war is no basis for a national policy," Dr. Conant said in a nation-wid- e radio broadcast under auspices of the committee to .defend America by aiding the allies. He said if Germany defeats the allies, the United States could expect at best only an armed truce which would require militarization of this nation and endanger the American way of life for years. nt Utah May Drought Approaches Record SALT LAKE CITY, May 30 l'.D Clear skies today promised establish m ent of a May drought record in Utah, and alarm, ed farmers whose crops already have begun to deteriorate.

Gus P. Backman, executive secretary of the Salt Lake City chamber of commerce, said today there was no question but that a tremendous army supply depot would be established in the Great Basin area. returned last night Backman from Washington, D. C., where he conferred with war department officials. He refused to discuss possible sites or expenditures. His report confirmed reports that the army expected to spend in construction of the depot. The present appropriations bill carries an item of more than $200,000 for acquisition of the site. Backman denied that recently-obtaine- d city options on land near the airport indicated the depot He would be established there. said the war department would choose the location, without local assistance. Prospects for establishment of an aircraft factory in Salt Lake City appeared remote to Backman. He said such plants probably would be located near sources of basic raw materials.

BY FREDERICK C. OECHSNER BERLIN, May 30 (U.Di Germany today hurled two corps of her air irmada an estimated 600 to 1,000 planes against battered Allied army remnants in Flanders and naval forces assembled off Dunkirk to protect and effect the Allied evacuation. The German high command said the Allied northern army was destroyed and claimed a huge toll from its blistering attack, including the shinking of three warships, 16 transports and damage to 31 more Allied vessels. German sources asserted that the greatest air battle of the war was raging over Flanders and the near-b- y coast in an attempt to annihilate the remainder of the Allied army of the north. They warned the air combat might be considered only a dresa rehearsal for forthcoming attacks on the harbors of England. The German air force employed in greater numbers than ever be- fore has been sent in to deliver a knock-ou- t blow, German sources said. It is blasting at allied transports and warships along the Flanders coast and at every part of the two small sectors in which the allies remain, a small area around Dunkirk and at even smaller area to tho south, near Lille, where., a ieii.
