Tyre Taken, 40 Nozi 'Chutists
Seized in Syria, British Say, as
French Blast Haifo-Beirut Road
British Wurships
OFF TripoIi and
Lebanon Capital

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, Unoccupied France,
June 9.-It was reported here
tonight that forces defending
Beirut. Lebanon, against the
BritiSh-De GaulliSt drive, had
blown up the coastal road lead
ing from Palestine through Acre
and Tyre to the Lebanese capital.
British naval squadrons which
yesterday were reported to have
lost small landing party as pris-
oners on the coast south of Beirut
were said today to have anchored
before Beirut and Tripoh but had
not yet opened fire on the cities.
Tripoli, in Northern Lebanon, is a
terminus of an oil pipeline from
Iraq
Negotiations on demand for
surrender of the cities possibly
were under way If British war
ships lay there
Reports that the Haifa-Beirut
road had been blasted said this was
a device to break up or hamper any
combined land and sea action south
of Beirut.
In a swiftly developing battle OF
erstwhile brothers-at-arms, Frances
army of the Near East fought to
head off invasion spearheads aimed
apparently at Beirut, the Syrian
capital of Damascus, and at cutting
of Syria from Turkey to the north.
Aged Chief of State Marshal Pc
tain gave the word for a fighting
defense of "the sovereignty Of
France" against what he termed
bitterly profoundly unjust agrees
sion" by Frances former British
allies and rebel Frenchmen" under
Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
Within "a hours of the pre-dawn
Sunday attack from British Pales-
tine and Trans-Jordan, France de-
livered a formal protest to Britain.
1t was handed by Frances Ambas-
sador to Spain, Francois Pietri, to
the British Ambassador, Sir Samuel
Hoare, in Madrid
Vigorously Marshal Petain denied
as subterfuge British claims that
the NaZis had made Syria and its
neighboring French-mandated ter
ritories base for operations.
Message to Syria Forces.
In message yesterday to his
forces in Syria he declared that
they, themselves, knew there were
no German troops in Syria or Leb-
anon and said:
You are the object Of profoundly
unjust aggression in the face Of
which we are outraged. 1t is only
today that French sovereignty in the
Levant is menaced for the first time.
You can believe me-"
Bitterly he recalled other attacks
on the French-at Dakar, French
West Africa; at Mers Ell Kebir, AL
geria, and at Sfax, Tunisia-and
declared that once again the attack
was leo, as at DaKar, Dy FRENCH
men under rebel flag"
supported by British imperial
forces" he said, they do not hest
tate to shed the blood of their
brothers who are defending the
unity of the empire and the SOW
ereignty of France"
Marshal Petain placed the blame
for the break on Britain and said
France, faithful to her declaration,
in any case can remain proud of not
having been the first to take up
arms against the former ally, no
more today than at Mers Ell Kebir,
Dakar or Sfax."

LOS ANGELES, June 9-The
tert OF the statement By 1t. Col.
Charles Z. BrnnshaD in taking
ouer the North American Arid
ton plant in the name OF the
Government:
BY authority of the President of
the United States and in compli-
ance with orders of the. Secretary
of War, I am this day taking over
in the name of the Government the
plants and activities of North
American Aviation, Inc.
My instructions from Washington
are to take Immediately all steps
necessary to protect workmen de-
string to enter the plant, those
leaving the plant and in their
homes, and to take such other
additional measures as may be
needed in the interests of national
defense.
Effective Immediately, the plant
will be opened for work under Gov
eminent control. Employees desir-
ing to return to their jobs will be
given all necessary protection to

Action 10 Reopen
Plant Is Praised
Congress Leaders
Legislation on Seizures
Delayed in Senate
Until Tomorrow

President Roosevelt's order for the
Army to take over the strike bound
North American Aviation Corp
plant at Inglewood, Calf. was COM
mended by leaders on Capitol Hill
today as legislation authorizing the
Government to operate defense fac
tories disrupted by strikes was de-
layed until tomorrow in the Senate
Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee said: 81
think the President did the only
thing left for him to do I hope
the troops take over without blood
shed, get the plant going full blast
and keep it that way"
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee was thor
oughly in accord with the Presi-
dents policy of firmness in the labor
situation"
Mr.. May said his committee would
begin hearings tomorrow on legis-
lation giving the President broader
powers to seize properties needed for
national defense.
General Terms Urged.
Meanwhile it was reported that
the White House was insisting that
the legislation be couched in general
terms.
In compliance with administration
wishes, advocates advanced pro-
posed amendment to the Selective
Service Act providing for the COM
Wandering of defense plants in
which the Army or Navy found
there was an existing or threatened
failure of production.
Similar in form to a bill pre-
sented previously by Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, of Texas, the pro-
posed amendment omitted - some
Senators said significantly - any
mention of strikes or lockouts.
Senator Connally's measure would
give the President authority to take
over any factory or plant where
defense production lis hampered,
delayed, impeded or stopped by ex-
istence of a strike or other labor
disturbance or other cause"
From Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia came an assertion that Gov
eminent seizure of struck plants
ought not to be the long-term solu-
ton of labor disputes in defense in
duStries.
While Senator Byrd said he be-
lieved there might be justification
for the Governments taking over
the North American plant because
it was an extreme case, he did not
believe that the ornaments program
could be conducted effectively one
half by public or Government opera
ton and one-half by the private or
free business enterprise system"
IF the Government can settle
strikes only by Selling the plants, u
he told reporters, "the admission is
made that we have been reduced
to a state of inpotency, which ar
gued dangerously for our future.
Instead, he said, strikes ought to be
settled by firm action on the part
of the Chief Executive" and by
fair arbitration between manage
ment and labor. both Of whom
should be required to abide by the
decision rendered"
The Senate also had up for con.
sideration today legislation to amend
the Selective Service Act to Ed.
thorize the President to defer the
induction into the Army of regis.
