SYRIA LEAVES SCAR IN FRANCE

BBut War Results Were Less Tragic Than Feared;

Axis Was Kept Out.

By PAUL GHALI

VICHY. July 16.—What will be the eventual results of the FrancoBritish Syrian agreement, insofar as relations between the two nations are concerned, remains a questionmark. Neither Vichy nor’ London will feel inclined to be more tender toward the other because of it. That much is certain, For many Frenchmen Syria may

replace Fashoda or Oran as a sym-| -

bol. (Fashoda, in the Sudan, was occupied by a French expedition in July, 1898, but surrendered to the British in November of the same year. Oran is the Algerian city where the British Fleet fired on

French ships after the Franco-

German armistice last year.) Conflict Localized

Apart from these considerations, the Syrian war has had far less tragic results than first had been anticipated. Britain was clever enough to localize the conflict. France was clever enough to refuse German and Italian aid which would have enlarged the conflict and added fuel to the fire of dissidence. French occupation of Syria, sanctioned by the League of Nations at the San Remo Conference of 1920, has come to en -enforced end. © Vichy.Frenchmen closed their fists at the loss of Syria, at the same time uttering sighs of relief at the end of the bloodshed.

Both Sides Clever

Both France and England appear to have played a cunning diplomatic game during the last few days. Having stymied the Vichy Governmerit by proposing draconian terms for peace, the British finally were far more lenient when soldiers took up the armistice negotiations after Vichy had put the matter up to Gen. Henri Dentz, the High Commissioner. Vichy maintained a firm attitude and at the same time avoided additional loss of life by giving Gen. Dentz a free hand to accept most of the terms that the Government itself could not accept. As signed, the convention contained only military clauses. Political ones, like admission of the end of the Syrian mandate and the turning over of German and Italian citizens to the British, are omitted. Practically speaking, the military clauses will have political results; France’s Syrian mandate comes to an end, whether France admits it in writirig or not.

EDEN SAYS BRITISH TO LEAVE ICELAND

LONDON, July 16 (U. P.).—For- _ eign Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons today that it is only a question of time until British troops leave Iceland to United States’ replacements. Some question as to the status of British forces in Iceland had arisen ‘because of a statement by Prime Minister Winston Churchill that they would remain despite the dispatch of American forces.

Here Is the Traffic Record

today. Fighting continued throughout the night on the Pskov-Porkhov or Leningrad front, the communique said, and on the Polotsk-Vitebsk or

Moscow front.

It was indicated that the Germans were driving desperately in both areas to get their long-lagging blitzkreig rolling again. On the Kiev front,.it was indicated, the Germans had again paused for breath after meeting stubborn resistance at all points. The communique said that on fronts other than those of Leningrad and Moscow there were no large scale operations during the night and there had been no changes of consequence in the relative position of troops. The day’s first communique had reported that both Germans and Russians were suffering heavily in casualties on the Moscow front where a great battle was raging. In the Pskov-Porkhov sector, Russian troops surrounded German tank and motorized infantry and artillery, the communique asserted, and destroyed them section by section. The Russains captured a considerable quantity of tanks, motor cars and various sorts of weapons and forced the remnants back westward.

Resist Push in Ukraine

Porkhov is 44 miles east of Pskov and 150 miles south of Leningrad. On the Moscow front, in the direction of Vitebsk, a fiefce fight is being ged in which big German tank ar¥® motorized infantry masses sought vainly throughout yesterday to break through toward the east. Vitebsk is 285 miles west-southwest of Moscow. On the Ukrainian front, in the direction of Novograd Volynsk, the communique reported the Russians stubbornly resisting the attempts of German infantry masses to break through to the east to join the advance tank spearheads, and it was asserted that the German tanks were now in a difficult situation, cut off from the main German forces. Novograd Volynsk is 142 miles west of Kiev. Though the communique made it plain that German tank forces were considerably to the east of it, military reports implied that, despite German claims, there had been little real change on this

front in the last two weeks.

Air Force Active

Russia’s air force continues active day and night, the communique said. ‘Yesterday Russian planes bombed and machine gunned German tanks and motorized infantry and artillery, raided German airdromes and bombed the Ploesti cil fields, supply depots at Sulina and transports off Tulcea, Rumania, the communique repcrted. Sulina and Tulcea are ports at the mouth of the Danube River. It was asserted that 52 German pianes were qestrcyed Monday against the loss of 24 Russian planes. Russian trawlers in the Gulf of Finland saw a German submarine explode after striking mines, the communique said.

ACE WINS 115 VICTORIES

BERLIN, July 16 (U. P.).—A special communique . from °Hitler’s headquarters said today that the Fuehrer ‘had awarded. to Lieut. Col. Werner Moelders, credited with 115 air victories, the oak leaf with swords in diamonds, to be worn with the previously awarded

knight’s cross of the iron cross.

SCHRICKER GETS ADDED POWERS

Beamer Ruling to James Puts 6 More Divisions Under His Control.

Governor Schricker today was formally given control of six minor governmental divisions in an opinfon issued by Attorney General George Beamer, The opinion, written to State Auditor Richard T. James, had the effect of clearing up doubt as to [the status of the State Athletic Commission, Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument Board, Battle Flags Commission, Superintendent of Buildings and Property, Grand

Army of the Republic and Year Book and Statistical Division.

Schricker under the recent Supreme Court opinion had complete control of all appointments made in these divisions.

Athletic Board Duling

He held that the State "Athletic Commission, which was made a one-man affair by former Governor Paul V. McNutt, now reverts to a 1931 law which provides that the Governor appoint a commission of three members, a secretary and an attorney. If the appropriation for the commission is” sufficient, Mr. Beamer said that other employees might be hired. The commission’s appropriation was-slashed by the last Legislature, however, and it is doubtful whether sufficient funds are available for hiring any employees.

o 1901 Law Restored

Mr. Beamer’s opinion took control of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument Board from the Adjutant General, where it was placed by Mr. McNutt. © He held that a 1901 law now goes into effect, which provides for a board of control consisting of three soldiers or sailors, and said that a superintendent should be ap= pointed by the Governor to have charge of the Monument Place. ‘The Battle Flags Commission, he said, returns to its 1908 status of being under the control of a threeman’ board, appointed by the Governor. This division also had been placed under the Adjutant General. Mr. Beamer said that the Supreme|S Court opinion which charged the Governor with the duty of managing all state property mandated him to appoint the superintendent of buildings and property.

BERLIN; July 16 (U. P.) —For the first time since the opening of the Russian campaign 25 days ago, the High Command admitted today that the Soviets have launched counterattacks but insisted the Red Army had been beaten off with terrific losses. The communique, issued at Hitler’s field headquarters, claimed that despite the counter-attacks the campaign continues to show progress. Only last Saturday night the German High Command in a special communique declared that the ability of the Red Army to launch any counter-attack had been broken by the pounding blows struck against Soviet communications by the Luftwaffe.

Call Kiev Fall Imminent’

Today, however, the communique ‘said: “In the east, operations continue their favorable progress. Soviet counter-attacks at several points were hurled back with bloody losses for the enemy.” The High Command on several occasions has noted that Russians have put up “tenacious” or “stubborn” resistance to the Nazi advance. However, no other High

Informants who said that the occupation of Kiev seemed imminent explained that a German victory between Zhitomir and Berdichev, 82 miles west of Kiev, was the reason for slow operations in the Kiev area within the last 36 hours. The informants said the Germans had paused to annihilate strong Russian forces but that the way to Kiev was now “apparently open.” Reporting this battle, the official news agency said that all but 500 of several thousand Soviet soldiers who made a stand in a forest yesterday had been wiped out by German storm troops pressing from both sides of the forest. Informants emphasized that the German air force was constantly engaged in bombing Russian comimunications and said that in operations yesterday German planes de-. stroyed railroad tracks, stations and supply depots on the 85-mile stretch of the Kiev-Moscow railroad between Bryansk and Chernigov.

WASHINGTON, July 16 (U"P.).— Chairman John Tolan (D.

Rep. Tolan told reporters that the proposal was “one of the most valuable made in connection with ad-. vance planning for our future economic crisis.” : Mr. Green made the suggestion yesterday during testimony before Rep. Tolan’s committee. He claimed that it would cushion the shock of post-war unemployment and prevent inflation. He advocated creation of a savings.

CLAIM GOERING

Anti-Nazi Paper Says He Split With Hitler After Fall of France.

LONDON, July 16 (U.. P.).—Reports spread today that Field Marshal Hermann Goering, No. 2 Nazi, was in disgrace in Germany after quarreling with Adolf Hitler over the German war on Russia. Die Zeitung, anti-Nazi German language newspaper published in FEritain, asserted that the reports were correct. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister; Joachim von Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister, and Heinrich Himmler, chief of the Gestapo, were said to have opposed Goering, and Hitler was reported to have sided with them.

Guarded at His Home?

It was added that Goering had retired to his country home, Karin Hall, and that the estate was cordoned by Gestapo men Die Zeitung said that the HitlerGoering rift began after the collapse of France when Goering urged immediate invasion of Britain on the ground that if the full force of the Luftwaffe were employed an invasion would succeed. “At that time Goering was living at the Hotel Crillon in Paris and he refused to return to Berlin,” the “Accordingly his name disappeared from German propaganda.

Reconciliation Brief

“After this, relations between Goering and Hitler were no longer of the best. In the spring of 1941 there was a ‘temporary reconciliation and Goernig’s prestige rose after the conquest of Crete, After the flight of Hess to Britain Hitler ordered every Nazi leader, no matter whom, to notify the Gestapo of any intended change of residence or journey. Goering, who was about to start a hunting trip, was greatly angered by the autocratic order.” Die Zeitung said that in connection with the German attack on Russia Goering emphasized to Hitler that he would no longer be able to assume responsibility in the air in Western Europe.

STATE FIRMS RECEIVE BIG ORDNANCE ORDERS

In letters of intent, the War Department today ordered two Indiana manufacturers to begin production on more than $1,300,000 worth of cartridge cases. The letters went to the General Motors Guide Lamp Division at Anderson, $601,000, and Servel, Inc, Evansville, $797;29744. The letters were issued through the Army Ordnance Department. Meanwhile, the Ordnance Department awarded a $120,800 contract to the Broderick Co., Muncie, for track shoe links for tanks.

Break Near?

WASHINGTON, ‘July 16 (U. P.).—State Department officials said today that nothing is known here about reports emanating from Ctockholm to the effect that Germany would sever relations with the United States within 48 hours.

BERLIN, July 16 (U. P.).— Well-informed German sources described as nonsense today reports published in London and New York as from Stockholm that Germany intended to break diplomatic relations with the United States within 48 hours.

RUMOR CORRECT

Navajo 'War' on U.S. Called Off

SALT LAKE CITY, July 16 (U. P.) —Citizens of the United States will be relieved to know that war has been averted. Be-Let-So, a Navajo brave, sent word to his pals from his jail cell today, that the war against the United ‘States was definitely off. The casus belli evaporated when paie-ace justice dealt kindly with

Be-Let-So comes from the corner of the Navajo Reservation in southwest. Utah. The U. 8. Marshal's office reported that some 300 Navajo braves, angered that Be-Let-So and another brave had been arrested for grazing too many horses on the public land, had voted to go on the war path if their compatriots were not treated fairly. Be-Let-So came up before 83-year-old Federal Judge Hillman D. Johnson yesterday. The Judge fixed Be-Let-So’s punishment at only one day in jail.

TAX RISE EACH YEAR FORECAST

Administration Not to Seek Revision of Present Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 15 (U. PJ). —The Administration advised American ‘taxpayers today that defense spending almost certainly will require a new tax bill each year with increasingly heavy schedules, President Roosevelt indicated yesterday that the Administration will not seek revisions in the $3, 504,000,~ 000 tax bill drafted by the H Ways and Means Committee because a new bill will have to be proposed next winter in the light of defense spending during the next few months, Secretary of the Treasury Henry A. Morgenthau had suggested earlier that the schedules in the pending bill might be revised to meet some of the eight billion expenditures proposed by President Roosevelt for the Army, Navy and Maritime Com~ mission. Another seven-billion-dol-lar lend-lease appropriation also is anticipated.
