Nazi Invaders Would Be Free For All To Shoot
LONDON, March 16,
Church bells will • not be rung throughout, the country as a general warning of an invasion of Britain, but will be rung locally as a warning to garrisons of troops seen landing from the air in the neighbourhood.
Everybody is entitled to protect himself from an attack by small parties in an area not under enemy control. These instructions are among many contained in a pamphlet shortly to be distributed. It will be accompanied by an important message from Mr. Churchill.
Dig Own Trench,
The Ministry for Information, in a preliminary outline of the pamphlet, .■'gain emphasised the advice to citizens to stay where they are and leave the roads clear for military movements.
It also advises citizens against assuming enemy control of a neighbourhood because they seen an enemy tank or seme enemy soldiers, who may be advanced troops or stragglers who can easily be rounded up. It suggests that householders should have a trench ready in the garden or a field for protection if their house should be damaged in battle. Careful plans have been drawn up to enable newspapers to carry on.
