German Tank Drive Presses Toward Paris Front
German armored units pushed south from Abbeville toward the Oise valley as Berlin reported progress on the Somme Aisne front. Allied aviation bombed German concentrations while French defenses withdrew in good order to new lines along the Aisne as Weygand lines held. The German aim centered near Peronne and Bresle with heavy tank thrusts, though French anti tank squads pursued and claimed damage to Nazi armor.

Discrepancy Found In State Police Fines Remitted to School Fund
Justice Courts cited a wide gap between fines collected by state police and funds remitted to the current school fund for 1939 to 1940. Mullins and Asplund announced plans for a county by county audit to determine if fines were collected and where the revenue went, noting possible non enforcement of state laws or shortfalls in school funding. In Tucumcari, city council cut municipal electric rates, dropping residential lighting to 1.00 and adding a two cent per kWh rate for cook stoves and water heaters on separate meters while maintaining 10 cent first 15 kWh.
