11 with Elmer Davis

At 8.55 Eastern Daylight Time and Elmer Davis, Maineuse, brought you tonight by the Jot Safety Racer Company. It's just time to tell you that today's improved Gillette Blue Blade made of steel hot enough to cut glass as the sharpest edges ever produced.

That's why it gives you the quickest, easiest shades ever. Ask your dealer for Gillette Blue Blade. The first day of the German blitzkrieg against the low country seems to have met with only very moderate success.

Both Dutch and Belgians are resisting fiercely and the Belgians have already been reinforced by strong mechanized columns of British and French troops from the Western Front, responding to the call for help sent out by both small nations after they were invaded.

The Dutch and Belgian High Command tonight, flatly say the invasion has failed. German advance has been greatest where Holland and Belgium meet. They took the Dutch city of Maustricht, swarmed across the projecting tip of Dutch territory, and say they have taken some bridges on the Albert Canal in northern Belgium.

The farther south they claim to have occupied the town of Malmedy, lost to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles. Attacks on France and Belgium through Luxembourg have been stopped so far at the frontier. The invasion of the Netherlands seems to have been held at the Eisel River, where the town of Arnhem has resisted German attacks, and many if not most of the parachute troops dropped

all over Holland before dawn this morning have been mopped up by squads of Dutch machine dinners travelling in fast automobiles. The German claim this morning that the Dutch capital, the Hague, had been captured by troops landed on the beach, was not correct.
