Evidence that the war had brok- en out in earnest was seen in Ger- man raid-s and bombings over al- most all of France. Towns in the north, the cast and even central regions of the country were sub- jected to alttiaok. The list of dead and injured mounted steadily.

‘Man Of Action Leads Britain In Hour Of Peril

Admiralty Head Steps Into

Prime Minister’s Shoes As Chamberlain Resigns—Britisl1 War Machine Speeds To Aid Of Invafid Countries.

(By .l. l". Silndersitu. Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, .\la_v lti-(CP (Table)-In an hour of im- iional peril, while British and French troops were march- ing into_ Belgium to halt Germany's drive through the Low Countries. Britain turned today to Winston Churchill, he" man of action, and made him prime minister.

H NPED BY NAZIS

The incisive and vigorous first lord of the admiralty. hater of the Nazis. and hated by them. took over the a filfl

Bmlslb-of office from Neville Chamberlain who will join his wiir

cabinet which will unite all political parties. The transfer‘ of power was concluded by the King at Buckingham l'al- acc after Labor and Liberal leaders agreed to scrvc llll(lt‘l' the broad-shouldered man who has a long adminislriitiii: record of vision, action and initiative in peace and war.

All Britain stood united behind the new leader. 1'11- litical quarrels were forgotten and personalities sill». merged in a grim, relentless drive to halt Hitler.

DRAM AT] C BRO ADCAST

Mr. Chamberlain, who stepped aside as a result of ilic

out-cry over his Norwegian campaign and general r411" policy, made a dramatic broadcast to the nation. From no. 10 Downing Street, in the cabinet room overlookinu the wide horseguards parade grounds, he pledged his support ,to Mr. Churchill and uttered bitter words of hatred tagninst the man he trusted at Munich, a man who tricked i him. i His voice breaking ivith emotion, the stout-hcartiii man who had been prime minister for three stornrv _\t‘lil'ri, said he would serve in any capacity undcr All". (‘hurt-Kalil and called upon the nation to “fight and work until this wild beast that has sprung out of his lair upon us has lll‘£‘ll finally disnrmed and overthrown.”

Political circles predicted that Mr. tihamlicrliiin would resume the portfolio of chancellor of the cxchcqucr, which he held before he became prime minister.
