MAY 16, 1941. rvi British Planes Smash at Blitzkrieg in Syria (Continued from page ) OUR BOARDING HOUSE With Major Heeplt cupylng Syria nnd moving across ilfr sandy wastes toward Iraq. ' Finds of German lnne-raneo bombers and troop carriers also wern reported landing on Syrian airfields. Military circles regarded It as likely that the Germans might be flying light tanks and light guns by planes as they did in Libya. Reuters, British news agency, quoted a dispatch from Cairo that German occupation of Syria had begun, with niizl tanks, war ma terials anil planes crossing the Freneh-rnandaled nation in the direction of Iraq apparently in response to an appeal by Iraq's premier Itashid All A Gailanl, who seized power early In April In a coup d'etat. . Twenty big long rango nazl bombers were reported to have landed at Damascus, and an un specified number of transport planes at Rayak airdrome, 30 miles from Beirut. Iraq newspapers ran banner headlines reporting that soviet Russia was "disposed to give all facilities" and that Russian volun teers were Joining the Mesopota JTilan air force to aid Iraqis DOUGLAS MARKET The convenience of buying your eating needs Is becomlno 'opular here because of our growing stock of groceries, combined with a nice selection 01 local meats.

The present average wage be fore tr raise, the management said, was about $1 an hour. Record Victory Claimed Walter P. Reuther, director of the CM division of UAW, called the agreement "the greatest vic tory" for General Motors work ers since the first contract was signed in 1937, and said the wagi increase was the largest ever won In the automobile industry. Although employes of the Ex cell o corporation at Detroit vot ed to accept terns to end their 10-day strike, the management had not agreed to the mediation board's suggestion and the time of reopening the plant thus was uncertain. Terms of the propos al were not disclosed, but the un ion had sought a hasic wage In crease of 10 cents an hour. The current wage rate was not made public. Detroit, however, was exper iencing other labor disputes. Some 8,500 ClO-UAW mcmberj struck against the Hudson Mo lor company .asking 15 cents i hour increase over unrevealed current wage scales. Ten thou sand AFL craftsmen in Detroit went out on sympathy strike last Friday In support of 1,500 lum ber truckers who seek union re cognition, a 51 day week and wage Increases. Present pay rates have not been announced. Labor Troubles In West There were labor troubles, too, in San Francisco, and far to the west of the Golden Gate, at Peail Harbor, Hawa'l. Labor Secre tary Perkins denounced a strike of CIO and AFL machinists which is holding up $500,000,000 worth of naval construction in the San Francisco bay area. The machin ists seek a wage increase from SH to SI. 15 an hour, and retention of double pay lor overtime There was a brief work stop page on construction projects at the I'eaii Harbor naval reserva tion yesterday, but a union oftl- cud said It was "definitely nit a strike." The demonstration ap peared to have been held In an effrrt to gain uniform wage and hour scales for all crafts. All went back to work except 2.10 plumbers, who were escorted off the reservation by marines. When tho plumbers laid down their tools, marines escorted them out of tho tnvy yard and took away their parses. The plumbers wor? working 44 hours a week for pri vate roii'ractors and were lieing paid St 25 to $1.50 an hour. Tbey wanted a 40-hour week ami url- Inrm wages of $1.50 an hour. , At New Haven, Conn., the Winchester Repeating Arms com pany granted all employes a 10 per cent wage Increase, shortly after 2:0 employes In two depart ments had staged a short work stoppage. The old wage scale was Horn 45 cents to $1.20 an hour. Lindbergh, Wheeler to Speak in Portland PORTLAND, May 1G. (AP) The America first committee will sponsor speeches here In June by Charles A. Lindbergh and Sena tor Burton K. Wheeler, Montana, Dellmore Lessard said yesterday. Lessard, Oregon chairman, said Wheeler would speak at the mu nicipal auditorium and that an ef fort would be made to open the Multnomah stadium for Lind bergh's address In opposition to United States Involvement In the war. merchantmen In waters off the Greek island.

Authorized quarters In London professed confidence that the Iraq situation "can and will be handled right," but the British government was known to be deeply concerned over France's attitude, and the London Daily express said bluntly: "The painful possibility of di rect conflict between Britain and Vichy must be faced." The. London radio said the British press agreed generally that "a new and critical phase has been reached in British rela tions with the men of Vichy." BRITISH SHIPS REPULSED IN CHANNEL, BERLIN SAYS BERLIN, May 16. (AP) Brit ish ships attempted to approach the German-occupied channel coast today but were fired on by German naval artillery and forc ed to "turn off," authorized sources said tonight. In London, Reuters, the British news agency, transcribed the Ger man broadcast as saying that the German batteries with great suc cess" fired on "enemy ships which were trying to approach the channel coast. In other air activities, the high command reported: War at sea Two ships totaling 15,000 tons sunk off British coasts, another damaged In a dock by heavy bomb hits; an un stated number of British planes destroyed on the ground In day and night air raids on British air ports; night bombardments of Scottish and southern English ports. Crete A barracks set afire, three planes destroyed on the ground, direct hits on three large declared blockade Is effective. Vital Questions Parried President Roosevelt said that international conditions were too serious for him to interpret or comment further on the Implica-1 tions of his appeal last night to the French people to turn down collaboration with Germany. He dismissed a barrage of press conference questions seek- Inc. tk rlr-l,i, klm il,f nt. Inn him.. .U.! 1 A , 1- uirucai. Amung me queries ne put in that category were these: j Is there likely to be a change ! in the status of Martinique, the -strategic French island at the ; eastern end of the Caribbean? Will Admiral William D. Leahy, American ambassador at Vichy, be asked to come back to Washington to report? Would any additional steps he taken in the French situation? To a remark that he had made his appeal to the French people, over tho heads of the French government, Mr. Roosevelt said his statement last night would have to speak for Itself. ' French Ships Guarded j Two developments, coming In swift succession last night, were interpreted by observers as indi cating Washington s sudden withdrawal of confidence in Vichy: 1 President Roosevelt, In an almost unprecedented step, ap pealed to the French people over the head of the Petain govern ment to reject any "so-called col laboration which will in reality, Imply their alliance with a mili tary power whose central and fundamental policy calls for the utter destruction of freedom." 2 U. S. coast guardsmen were stationed aboard all French ves sels in American ports, including the liner Normandie, presumably to protect them against sabotage such as had crippled most of the recently-seized axis vessels. . Well-informed authorities In Washington said the president's appeal could be interpreted as meaning that Washington no longer placed reliance in the abil ity of Marshal Petain to resist German pressure for more active cooperation and that France henceforth must be considered in about the same category as other nazi-dominated countries, This immediately thrust to the fore the future status of French colonies in the western hemis-1 phere, particularly Martinique and French Guiana, but there was no inkling in government quart ers as to what might be contem plated.

Asked whether he intended to send a representative to the De Gaulle free French government In London, Mr. Roosevelt said it was not a subject for discussion and he never before had heard of it. "Do your dispatches from Vichy," a reported inquired, "in dicate the degree of collaboration to which France has agreed?" Mr. Roosevelt suggested that the Inquiry be placed with tha state department and then, with a grin, advised his questioner the department would not tell him anything. In similar fashion he referred to Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, commander of the Atlantic fleet, a question on how successful the Atlantic patrol was in its opera tions. And, again, he said King would not tell. Mr. Roosevelt would not go into a discussion of a conference he had with King earlier in the week. Finally, as he continued to fend off questions with interna, tional implications, he said he could not discuss hypothetical questions and talk in glittering generalities. No one, Mr. Roose velt asserted, can prognostictfo what is going to happen. Chapman's Drug Store will be OPEN This Sunday Hours 8 A. M. to 9 P. M.
