HELP FOR BRITAIN
SUPPLY OF MUNITIONS _ __ A NO CAUSE FOR FURORE — r fe# (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 6, 3.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 5 Mr Clark Eichelberger, executive director of the committee to defend America by siding with the Allies, said he is negotiating to provide Britain with—(l) A secret bombsight. (2) The entire output of tanks. (3) Half the output of flying fortress bombers. (4) The use of Texas and California airports to train British fliers. (5) Two hundred and fifty thousand more rifles. He said the United States already has sent 80,000 machine-guns, 700 field guns, 500,000 rifles and mountains of ammunitions, of which the Germans are aware, consequently the sending of 50 destroyers is little cause for a furore.
