In 1940 Churchill noted in parliament that a German invasion across the channel was projected but failed. England, after Dunkirk, faced a threatened assault as invasion craft gathered in the Low Countries. British air strikes dispersed barges, disrupting plans and leading Hitler to delay renewed attempts, with the invasion eventually moving in the opposite direction as Allied forces built strength.

Aging Alfalfa Bill Murray Seeks State Funding for Oklahoma History
Tishomingo Oklahoma June 21 UP Aging Alfalfa Bill Murray now 75 defends the constitution he authored in 1907 to back state underwriting of printing costs for his history of Oklahoma. A lower court blocked $18 000 from Governor Kerr contingency funds for insuring the work with $4 000 of Murray's personal funds aiding the constitutional convention. Murray argues discretion lies with the governor and vows to destroy the manuscript if unpublished in his lifetime rather than be revised by politicians. He notes the state never reimbursed his convention costs and that he was previously speaker of the house.
