Brunt of Storm Centers
At Weatherford Where
Damage Is High
Winds ranging from 32 to 60
miles an hour, bearing hail, dust
and violent rainstorms, struck a
triangular area of western Okla-
homa last night, causing several
thousand dollars in property dam-
age. the Associated Press reported.
Standing wheat was beaten to
the ground; that in shocks was
blown over. Trees were uprooted
Wind and hail shattered windows.
Power service was disrupted in
several communities and merchan-
dise was damaged as torrential
rains surged into the main floors
of many stores.
The area hit by the storm form-
ed a rough triangle with Buffalo
to the nor* .west, Sayre to the j
west and Oklahoma City at the

handle to 5 23 inches at Weather-
ford, 3.52 at Oklahoma City. 2.01

large as hen's eggs." Scarcely a I
roof in the community escaped I

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
An Intensified German U-boat
campaign, striking while the Brit-
ish escort, system was upset by the
collapse of France, has scored "ad-
mittedly heavv’' losses among Brit-
lan's merchant shipping, an auth-
oritative London report said to-
day.
The wholesale sinkings—record-
ed in the three-week period from
June 2 to June 23 as escort ships
were diverted to withdraw British,
French and other allied troops—
cost an estimated 186837 tons.
It was indicated that Italian
submarines might be helping the
Germans in their renewed under-
seas war to cripple imports of
vitally needed foodstuffs for Brit-
ain,
In her darkest month in the
World war—in April of 1917 at
the peak of Germany's unrestrict-
ed submarine warfare—Britain lost
196 ships, totaling 600.000 tons.
At that time the island kingdom
had only a six weeks supply of
food left.
Total Figures Revealed
Latest figures placed British
total losses in the current war at
970.977 tons.
British reports estimated Ger-
man losses up to June 4 totaled
830.000 ton* including many Nazi
ships captured or scuttled to avoid
capture.
In southeast Europe, amid an
apparent lull in the critical Balkan
situation, Rumania looked anxious-
ly to Germany to prevent further
dismemberment at the hands of
her hostile neighbors, Hungary
and Bulgaria, both reportedly em-
boldened by Soviet Russia's suc-
cesses.
King Carol Blamed
A purported BBC broadcast from
London said that Hungary, in a
move "inspired" by Germany, has
ordered partial demobilization and
proposed a demilitarized zone on
both sides of the Hungarian-Ru-
mantan frontier.
Later unconfirmed reports said
both Hungarian and Rumanian
troops had withdrawn a short dis-
tance from the border to avoid
further incidents.
Dispatches from Bucharest said

of King Carol II of Rumania was
