MOVE INTO SYRIA
BY FREE FRENCH FORCES REACTIONS AMONG GARRISON. MAY LEAD TO SUPPORT FOR DE GAULLE. (By Telegraph—Picks Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.45 a.m.) LONDON. May 21. Free French troops are reported to have penetrated Syria, states an Independent French Agency dispatch from the Syrian frontier. Their strength and the conditions under which they crossed the frontier are unknown. There are signs that lively reactions among the French garrison in Syria may lead to support for the De Gaulle forces, although M. Bcrgeret, Vichy Air Minister, is doing his utmost to stiffen resistance. A Haifa message states that more German planes have arrived at the Palmyra and Damascus aerodromes. British and Free French planes are reported to have bombed, without loss to themselves, parked German planes, leaving huge fires.
