The author of the hair-raising

The program director didn't know,
and neither did the announcers, the

An Unnamed Spot.
The local search for the ghostly

started by reports published in New

The station got lot of telephone
calls from the public, which loves
mystery. Reporters invented schemes
to trap the visitor. The girl on the
switchboard couldn't be sure whether
she was talking to a city room cub
or a G. P. U. agent.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 27.-
General strikes, marked by unruly
demonstrations, gripped Damascus
HONS, Hama and Aleppo in French
inundated Syria today in protest
against the stand taken by High
Commissioner Gen. Henri Dentz
opposing demands of the Syrian
Nationalist bloc.
This group seeks greater inde-
pendence and revival of the Syrian
Nationalist Assembly.
A Nationalist Assembly first met
in 1918 while Syria was under Turk
ish rule. but its proceedings were
annulled by the Turks. Fifteen years
later, after France had taken over,
constituent assembly, of largely
Nationalist complexion, met and de-
clared Syria's independence.
The assembly was suspended by
the French. In 1882 parliament
was elected, but it was suspended
Indefinitely the next year.
Troops patrolled Damascus and
streets, shops and Offices were closed.
Traffic was at standstill.
Gen. Dentz is scheduled to meet
Nationalist leaders Saturday and
many sources expected he might be
forced to grant concessions to pla-
cate the expanding movement and
avoid more serious disorders.
Reports from Vichy yesterday said
II person had been killed in Damas-
Gus and Aleppo in two days of riot
ing attributed to the Nationalist
agitation and to food shortages.

that since the dark hours" when
the German Panzer divisions swept
into France, Britain had "a series

The Prime Minister said the "in-
terests of national unity" caused
him to forego producing Catalogue
of war aims and peace aims" and
went on:

we are fighting about, but If you
try to set forth in catalogue what
