 Vichy, June - (U.P) - Hun dreds of letters came to the United States embassy today from French citizens who placed on record their oposition to collaboration" between France and Germany.
 The letters were inspired by an appeal in French language broad casts from London to Frenchmen to display their opposition to the "col- laboration" policy by writing letters to United States Ambassador Wil- liam D. Leahy.
 Simultaneously, 1t was learned, supporters of General Charles De- Gaulle, Free French leader, were circulating in unoccupied France from leters inviting citizens to send their protests against "collab- oration" to the United States em- bassy.
 The deluge of letters to the Amer ican embassy coincided with inten- sification of the anti-American campaign of the official press, which now has spread from Paris to the newspapers of unoccupied France.
 The anti.American campaign coincided with persisting tension here concerning the possibility of attacks upon the French colonial empire, and the arrival in Paris of Adolf Hitler's representative. Otto Abetz, who was said to have re- turned from Berlin with fresh ''col- laboration" proposals.
 The appeals circulated by De Caulle representatives reprinted President Roosevelt's statement of May 10 that T refuse to believe the (Continued on Page O

 Washington, June 5-- tUP)--A well.informed defense official said today that Great BritainS gasoline and oil situation Is every tight" but that fast-eSpanding shipments from the United States are expected to relieve 1t.
 The British, according to this off, cial, have considerably more" than n few months supply of gasoline on hand, but, he said, the situation re- quires immediate attention"
 Another defense official disclosed that the British have transferred all tankers which had been operating between the Gulf of Alden and Britain, to the north Atlantic serv- ice, Those ships can make four round trips between Britain and the United States in approximately the same time 1t took them to make one trip on the Alden route, the official said.
 Defense oil coordinator Harold L., Ickes hoped to have ready some time today plan to alleviate the  threatened shortage of oil on the eastern seaboard, due In large measure to the assignment of 50 American tankers to the British Service. Ickes indicated after a con- ference with President Roosevelt that one of his first moves would be to re-allocate existing maritime tanker facilities.
 Meanwhile, the maritime commis- sion, seeking more ships for Britain and the armed services, asked IA Atlantic and Gulf coast shipping operators to make 50 per cent of their vesSels--about 60 to 75 ships totaling 375,000 tons-available for national defense and the British shipping pool Vessels involved in the request, together with shipping pre- viously lined up for use in the pool,

London, June 5. - (UP) - British Imperial Forces In Palestine, Transiordania and Iraq, backed by a newly arrived British fleet, have drawn a steel net tight around the frontiers of Syria and are ready to strike any time the word Is given, 1t was understood today. The Syrian frontier was open only on the Turkish side and indications here increased that the British Empire forces might strike soon, probably from Palestine,
 It was believed that there now was c sufficiently large fleet off tho Syrian coast to isolate the Branch colony completely from the sea and that any further German infiitration would have to bo ef- feeted through Turkey Of by air- plane.
 Military quarters heard reports that the Germans would most likely attempt landings of some sort, by sea or air, within a few days In hope of organizing resistance to the Brit ish.
 A Daily Mall Madrid Dispatch reported that after a conference with Secretary of State Cordcll Hull, GaSton Henry Have, French ambas- sador at Washington, urgently had warned Marshal Henri Philippe Petair to Igor slow in cooperating with Germany regarding Syria" Hull. according to this dispatch, warned Henry.Haye of "dire conse- quences" which would inevitably re. suit from any French breach Of Armistice conditions.

A threatened aircraft plant strike and the rejection of settlement pro- posals in two other labor disputes clouded the defense production out look today, ofIsetting the deferring of & strike in the aluminium indus try.
 CIO diecasters at five Cleveland plants of the Aluminium Company of America agreed to postpone their strike, scheduled for today, at the request of the National Defense Mediation Board. The board ap. pcaled for a delay yesterday after Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins had referred the dispute to 1t.
 But the NOME watched these un- favorable developments on the West Coast:

 2. AFL machinists at San Fran cisco rejected a senate committee proposal that they return to work at II struck shipyards pending ar- bitration of their demands.
 3. The International Woodwork CTS of America (CIO) again reject ed the Mediation Board formula for settlement of strike of l20O0 northwest loggers and millhands.

 It also gives Chief of Staff Gen. erai George 0. Marshall unprece. dented authority to order tanks and equipment for the armoured forces to whatever limits he thinks tusti. fled "by the state of world atfatrS:" recommends granting him . $2S, ,0O0,- 900 ''blank check" to use as he wishes to give "every possible aid to this man."
 Not since the World War has Congress been asked to appropriate so much money in one lump. The War Department received i,S45, ,9lS.- 222 less for operations this year.
 The committee reported that this bill would swell defense appropria- tions, authoriga tlons and recommen- Catlons for the period from July l. 1940, to June 90, l9A2, including the $7, ,O00, 100000 lend-lease fund and $6,o00 900 900 for completion of the two-ocean navy, to $4S, ,06l ,ls2.
 The bill was presented to the House simultaneously with the committees report and recommen. dations, and the censored transcript of the subcommittee's hearings.
 The hearings revealed testimony by high War Department officials that e conservative estimate" os Germany's airplane productive ca- pacity Is 5000 aircraft month ana that 1t might reach 4,000 to 6,o0O planes per month with organiza. tionh of factories in occupied ter ritory: that Germany had deployed and entire "armored army" - not merely panzer divisions in her victories in France and the Bals kans.
 The bill contemplates no increase in the size of the United States Army but made fund available to maintain an estimated average force of about l,5o0,000 men.
