himself faced with redoubled British
attacks on all fronts and who
learned with sorrow that pamphlets
offensive to his dignity and military
honor were being distributed at
Beirut by British agents"
Gen. Dentz asked for terms on
Tuesday.
AS a prelude Cor possibly part of
the armistice) the British demanded
yesterday that Beirut, capital Of
Lebanon, be declared an open city
and yielded without bloodshed to
the Allied siege forces. French
sources called this an ultimatum to
Gen Dentz and said 1t was conveyed
in leaflets dropped on Beirut by
the r. A. F.
(Whether the ultimatum and
the asserted insult to Gen. DentZ
were the same was not clear.
CA Berlin spokesman said
Vichy actually had received
British terms and described them
as conditions such as would be
imposed on the bitterest enemy
but scarcely on a former ally for
whom England still processes con-
Germ and hope.')
Darlan Back From Paris.
Admiral Darlan returned by Spe-
cial train from Paris and at once
conferred with Chief of State Mar
shall Petain on the armistice pro-
posal and his conversations with
German officials at the occupied
capital and then talked with De-
fense Minister Gen. Charles Hunt
ziger on Syria.
French sources meanwhile said
the United States had been notified
through diplomatic channels about
the r. A. F. sinking of the French
transport st. Didier in the Turkish
harbor of Adalia.
1t was through the United States
Consul General at Beirut, the
French statement today recalled
that Gen. Dentz sent his request
for an immediate suspension of
hoStilitieS.
1t was this request. the French
said, to which Prime Minister
Churchill referred in his announce
ment in the House of Commons yes
terday, when he expressed satiSfac-
ton at seeing an end to the conflict
in prospect.
The French declaration said the
British failure to reply to Gen. Dentz
was contrary to the spirit which
inspired this declaration" of the
British Prime Minister.

Syria
Continued From First Page)

ernment had rejected British
conditions for an armistice In the
Syrian war. The broadcast was
heard in New York;
Reuters British news agency re-
ported that French authorities had
made no reply up TO noon today TO
British request that Beirut be evac-
uated and declared an open city
pending discussion Of armistice
terms to end the month-old war in
Syria.
AS result, it was reported, hos
tilities by British forces closing in
on the Lebanese capital were con-
tinuing.
The request for Beirut's surren-
der, Reuters reported in dispatch
from Jerusalem. was radioed last
night to Gen. Dentz, after the latter
had signified he was ready to discuss
armistice terms.
Gen. Henry Maitland Wilson,
British commander in Syria, was
quoted as saying Gen. Dentz must
take responsibility for the conse-
quences if his plea were rejected.
Deadline Set Early Today.
The British commander was said
to have asked Gen. Dentz to send
him a reply by $50 am. today
Q0:30 pm, E. S. T. Wednesday,
under flag of truce.
The message was described as
similar to a communication which
Gen. Wilson sent Gen. Dentz before
French troops evacuated the be-
sieged Syrian capital of Damascus
June 81 and British troops
marched in.
Earlier today belief was expressed
in some quarters in London that
Gen. Dentz would accept the Brit
ish armistice terms without delay.
Official quarters gave no hint of
what the term, might be. though
one source said they would be harsh
and that the chief concern of the
British and their Free French allies
was to insure Syrian independence
free from German influence.
The first steps toward the pro-
posed armistice, Reuters said, were
taken during the recent visit of
Jacques Benoist- -Mechin, vice chair
man of the French cabinet, to
Ankara. The suggestion was con-
veyed at that time to the British
Ambassador in the Turkish capital
that the French we're willing to talk
peace, the agency declared.
Reported in Sight of Beirut.
Allied patrols were reputed within
sight of Beirut.
After a complete mopping up of
the Vichy defense positions at Da-
mour, Australian patrols went north
yesterday along the coastal road to
the towers of Radio Orient, the
Beirut transmitting station 6 miles
below the city. dispatches from
Jerusalem said.
A spokesman said large propor-
ton of the Damour garrison, which
had held out since June 26 under
shelling from land and sea, had been
captured with number of guns and
much material. Some of the de-
tenders escaped inland through
ravines.
The position of Gen. Dentz was
described by the spokesman as hope
less, barring heavy reinforcements
of which there was no sign. Gen.
Dentz's men, as we'll as the local
population were reported short of
gasoline and food.

When constipation brings on acid in
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and

The department O has Al such

was $1.167,S70 for the biennium,

TWO WACE-H0UR
BILLS EXPECTED
Measures Incorporate Con-
flicting Recommendations of
Special Commission

RALEIGH, Feb, II. - Up - Two
wege-hour bills, incorporating the
conflicting recommendations of a
special commission, are likely to be
introduced in the general assembly
this week.
Governor Broughton revealed to-
day that tomorrow he would trans
NIT to the legislature the two re-
ports from the commission, appoint
ed to study the labor situation and
recommend wage-hour legislation.
The two measures may be sent for
ward tomorrow.
The majority report recommended
retention of the 55-hour work week
for men and 4S-hour week for women
and repeal of many exemptions to
the existing statutes. The minority
report favored a work week maxi
mum of 48 hours and a minimum
wage of rs cents, along with the re-
moval of exemptions.
The majority also recommended
the establishment of a Cancellation in
the department of labor to mediate
disputes. The minority did not dis
sent from this suggestion.
Senator Gregory of Rowan has al
ready introduced a bill, which is
pending, to establish wage-hour regu-
lations conforming the federal stand
ards. It would begin with a 44-hour
week and a 25-cent minimum and
would eventually reduce the week to
40 hours and raise the minimum pay
to 40 cents.

would quickly bring about serious
shortages of the important fresh,
green foods that cannot be stored.
A Defense Garden movement is
under way, and rapidly gaining
speed. Avoiding hysteria, it seeks
not to correct but to prevent a
shortage by developing the latent
food production power which lies
in every fertile, vacant lot and
back yard, with an experienced
amateur gardener to till it.
Five million vegetable gardens,
producing food FOB. the kitch-

Every such garden will be a real

and the time to start making them

MUNICIPAL CAMP
NESTERS BANNED
Commission Rules Tourists
May Remain There One
Week Only

Occupancy of the municipal auto'
mobile trailer camp at Greentlelo
lake for periods of more than one
week will be banned, effective
March 1, as result of action by
the city commission in regular SEES
sion yesterday.
Decision to enforce regulations
limiting privileges of the camp =
a tourist for a maximum of seven
DAYS came after a police department
report was read disclosing that
some tourists were making the
camp their permanent residence.
The camp is free, maintained by the
city, with only a minimum service
charge for electricity and water.
The police department was in
structed by Mayor Thomas D.
Cooper, commissioner of public
safety, to serve notice on everyone
at the camp that they must evacuate
the premises on or before March 1
or be liable to a city fine.
THE camp is intended to serve
as an accommodation for tourists;
not as a permanent home" Mayor
Cooper said in recommending to
the commission that the ordinance
regulating the camp be enforced
henceforth.
Because of an accident which has
confined the city attorney, William
B. Campbell, to the hospital for
several weeks, the commission de-
ferred action of a proposed amend
ment to a city ordinance giving the
fire chief enforcing powers over all
Illegally used smoke stacks within
the city. Last week Fire Chief L-udie
Groom appeared before the commits
sion to declare that several smoke
stacks are not properly equipped
with spark-arresters, thus present
ing, in his opinion, a dangerous fire
hazard.
The only other action of the com
mission, other than routine reading
of department reports, was to ap-
prove a petition signed by property
owners of East Greasy avenue ask
ing that 80 feet of the east of the
street be graded and surfaced. The
project was ordered included in the
d apartment of public works street
improvement program.
