said Senator George.
He pointed out that these for

own protection. He insisted that

AFT, the independent French agen-
cy, in a dispatch from the Syrian
border.
Four large German planes landed
on Syrian bases four days ago, the
dispatch stated, with 16 others fol-
lowing them in the next two days.
They were believed to be carrying
German military experts and tech
ricians.
Authority for Attack Given.
The British attack on a French
airdrome was reported in neutral
quarters in Vichy. The French For
eign Office denied any knowledge of
events in Syria.
Earlier today British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden had an
nounced that British forces have
been given full authority" to at
tack German planes in the French
inundated area. He charged that
the transit of planes was clear
breach of the French-German
arnistice terms.
In Cairo informed quarters said
German bombers and fighting
planes, carrying few technicians,
had landed in Iraq, but that no
troop-carrying transports have yet
arrived.
Italian and German staff officers,
including two generals, also have
arrived by plane at Baghdad, going
by way of Syria, it was said in un-
confirmed reports.
The German planes were reported
TO have flown to Iraq from the
Italians Dodecanese Islands and
landed at Aleppo, in North Syria.
From there they were reputedly dis
tributed to various airfields in Iraq.
1t was reported here that French
authorities in Syria did not op-
pose the landings after they had
received instructions from Vichy.
There was no indication that the
French forces in Syria were prepar-
ing to act with the Germans, but
defense precautions were strength
ened, it was said here.
An official communique said
certain number" of German air.
craft, carrying "propagandists and
sgitators and other similar Axis spe-
cialists" had arrived in Iraq after
the appeal of Iraq Premier Rashid
Ali al Gallant for help.
Another communique said the r.
A. F. and British naval planes were
gradually reducing Iraq insurgents
barracks and other military objec-
tives to ashes"
