Foreigners Hurry Out of Denmark By WES GALLAGHER COPENHAGEN (AP) The British, French and Polish ministers and their 6taffs departed today for the neutral Netherlands, leaving behind hundreds of their nationals still seeking means of getting out of German-occupied Denmark.

Many of these frantic foreigners turned for aid to the United States legation, which, already busy handling the affairs of some 700 Americans, was expected to take care of British and French Interests in the emergency. Among those seeking help were scores of businessmen and their families, university students, Polish refugees and German Jews who were caught unprepared by the swiftness of the Nazi invasion. The train bearing the departing ministers Howard Smith of Britain, Jean Bonnefoy-Sibour of France, and Jan Starzetewski of Poland was scheduled to reach the Netherlands frontier Sunday.

Dr. Westrick is quoted as Baying: "My mission here is, quite frankly, to see that economic ties between the United States and the Reich are not broken by the war.

WOMAN ENVOY TELLS OF AIR RAIDS WASHINGTON (AP) A firsthand account of terrific German air raids on Norway was sent to the State Department by Mrs. Florence Jaffray Harriman, United States minister, who disclosed she herself has been in the thick of the danger zone. The 70-year-old diplomat a society leader and widow of J. Borden Harriman, banker, now is at the town of Holjes, Sweden, just across the border. She telephoned her report to the United States minister at Stockholm, who relayed it to Washington.

The State Department made public the following summary of the Haakon Escapes Nazi Bombings STOCKHOLM (AP) The Stockholm newspaper Svenska Dagbladet today said German warplanes still were pursuing King Haakon and Crown Prince Olav from hiding place to hiding place. Whenever they stop, it said, air alarms soon follow. The present whereabouts of the 64-year-old monarch were not disclosed, but the newspaper said he had been forced close to the Norwegian-Swedish border.

As dawn brought a lull along the front, a farmer came over the hill and plodded straight across Hell's Kitchen within 10 yards of one trench. A company sergeant major "hissed" him over, told him he was on no man's land, and said: "Scram." "I've farmed hereabouts for 20 years," the farmer retorted with a broad English accent, "and no bloomin' soldier can put mi off an Aldershot field." The correspondent reported, however, that King Haakon still was in good spirits and determined to stay in his country "as long as one Inch remains Norwegian." One of the ministers accompanying the king told of a close escape yesterday when, he said. "She was on the outskirts of Elverum when it was bombed. She had gone there with the Norwegian government. They stayed outside the town a little way.

"The government moved night before last to Nybergsund. She was in contact with the foreign minister yesterday (Thursday) afternoon at 3, who told her to come to Nybergsund if she could get there. The only way was for her to go through Elverum, but the German forces were bombing Elverum. so she could not get through last night to Nybergsund. "She went to a farm house where she spent last night (Thursday).

With the help of a farmer, she, with Miss Llntigrcn, who is her private secretary, her maid and chauffeur, got through the Elverum barricade this morning and reached Holjes. four German bombs exploded near where the monarch had thrown himself into the snow.

ODOROUS BOMBS The sergeant-major was considering strong arm methods when the farmer reached into his pocket, as though for a handkerchief. Instead he came out with three bombs and tossed them Into the trench. They were stench bombs and. as the Pats fled up the trench, the farmer raced for the other linos.
