Petition Referred to Bud- get Director for l042
 By Finance Board

An indication that city employees will have to wait until at least next year for pay increases is seen in the action of the board of finance yesterday in referring the police mems petition for a 20 per cent in- crease to the budget director for consideration when the 1942 budget is being prepared. Similar action will probably be taken on the peti- ton being submitted by firemen and requests by other groups of city employees for higher wages.
 Several members of the finance board apparently feel that any raises granted should be on tenn porary basis, to be withdrawn when the defense boom slackens and city revenues begin to decrease.
 The board referred to the corpor- ation counsel 8 request by Private Bartholomew Buckley of the fire department for reimbursement of eSl6 he paid for nursing care while in St. Mary's hospital recovering from injuries suffered in the Bald- win street fire truck crash. The flre- aAA@A &SVoAASN tLle nurses a1Cer the ire surgeon had claimed their serv- ices were no longer necessary.
 On request of the board of works, the board voted $5,o00 appropria- . ton from the revolving sewer fund for WPA sewer projects during August. Aldermanic approval is re- quired.
 Mayor Vincent A. scully explain ed to the board that costs might have risen 4l00000 or more If the city delayed further in placing the contract for e second pipe line while waiting for government aid. The contract was let this week to the Lock Joint Pipe Company, of Ampere, N. J., which submitted a bid of $S94,0o0. The mayor said the city Is applying for federal help in connection with other water pro- jects, including 6 new dam, reser- yoir and chlorination plant at Nor ris.

OFFICIALS PROBE
 SERIES OF ALARMS
Three False Calls Regis- tered in South End Sec-
 tion Early Today

Three motor patrol cars were dis patched early this morning to area where tree false alarms were regis tered within an hour. Fire Chief Thomas P. Cavanaugh and Capt. Fred s. Hickey also secuted the vicinity for signs of the "jokesters" who had deliberately turned in the alarms.
 The first came in from Box 5sS at the corner of Baldwin and Madi. son streets at 1:31 with engines 4 and 10, truck 3 and the booster responding.
 Box ATS located at the corner of South Main and Piedmont streets was rung in at 1:30, bringing en- zines ?, 3, and ii and truck one. The third alarm was released from Box 69 at the corner of Baldwin and Piedmont streets at 2:3S, less than an hour later.
 Capt. Hickey of the police depart ment, said no clues was found of the responsible parties and the sec- tionS on the west, south, and east ends were combed by the motor patrol squad.

tillesy firing and the technique was similar to that of the Germans.
 Dents tried to hearten his troops by announcing that the 3S 900 ton hattleship Jean Bart and the 26,S00 ton battieshlp Dunkerque were on the way from Toulon with rein- foreements and ammunition. It Is asserted that the three deStroyers which made up the French fleet" here fired ehells into the air in an attempt to hearten the people. It would be interesting to find out, in fact, whether the British fleet ac- tually encountered any French war; ships.
 The destruction of the transpor. St. Didier by British warshipS of the Tlrkish coast ended attempts to bring achievements by sea.
 Gen. DentS's last attempt ct Stiff- en1ng resistance was when he re- jected the BsitiSh demand that he declare Beirut an open city.
 The city became almost depopu. lated when Free French agents made known his declaration:
 T viii follow orders even if 4 means fighting in the streets"
 Anta.aiferaft batteries were post cd near hospitals, including that ol the American University.
 Dentg's refusal to remove mill. taHy targets such as munitions, sup- ply dumps and military garages, caused most of the people who had remained, to flee too.
 Villagers around Beirut were all- geFod when DentS placed artillery batteries in or nsar the villages. One battery was placed next door to the home of the Greek Orthodox arch- blslsOp on Mt. Lebanon. The Byit- ieh declined to ire on it, and the acchbishop's home was unchanged.
 F0rbeaxanee by the British in this and other instances undoubtedly slowed their advance. During the last weeks os the campaign only about 1000 vichy troops were able t0 hold the strong defensive posi- tons south oe Beirut.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-18

Apparently the Germans @C nrSV intended to give the Vichy French active aid; Vichy warshipS fired their shells into the cir instead of at the British fleet; Gen. Henri Dentz, the Vichy commander in chief, changed his residence each night because of popular feeling against him; all during the war, Free French agents were active In Vichy territory.
 I was told by credible persons but could not confirm, that Gen. DentG shot his chauffeur on suspicion that he had revealed his sleeping guar. ters. Tn any event, the chau1xeur disappeared, and was not replaced, after there had been several demon. strations against Dentz ard British airplane bombs had landed urconI- fortably close to his headquarters.
 Reliable figures, disclosed by Free French agents who remained here during the campaign, wore that the Vichy forces totaled about 4S!O0c men of whom only half saw action Of these, i0O00 were Gyriaxs and LebaneSe, i6,O0O African Colonaans 5000 Foreign Legionnaires and 1S.- 900 metropolitan Frenchmen.
 Casualties of vlchy
 Casualties of the vichy forces arc estimated ct about 2,O00 killed and 1000 to 5000 seriously wounded.
 It seemed clear that at the start of the campaign the Germans in- tended to aid the Vichy forces against their former allies.
 At least two German planes fought with them and during the first week German artillery of1aeeEU arrived here by airplane.
 During the first week I satiSfied myself of the arrival of German artillery oficers. Four unImistake- able German officers were bllleted at @ hotel at which I then stayed. arriving late one night and depart. ing early in the morning.
 After the first week or 60. how. ever, German participation in the campaign was confined to 6 civilian commission which had aS satellites half Q dozen Italians. At one time the German commission numbered 28. It dwindled to two key agents who remained until two weeks ago.
 The German infiltration began in February when % commissioner were joined by technieianS and ex- perts who brought the total num- ber of German agents to about i6O. Most of the Germans were reported to carry Bulgarians and Rumauian passports. They were permitted to use military telephones and gasoline. strictly rationed for others, waS given to them freely.
 Front Line Action
 The ebb and How of German and Italian agents was an accurate barometer of front line action. All the Germans and Italians left Beirut for Aleppo, up toward the Turkish frontier, when Damascus fell to the British and Free French. They re- turned when Vichy resistance stiff- ened.
 Fifteen airplanes flew in q shuttle service between Tlnig, on the French African coast. and Aleppo The planes flew by way of Athens. It was uncertain whether some Ger man artillery experts were brought in also, but British Imperial oafiA cers who had fought in Greece, told me that at two points there was a sudden improvement in French ar-
