There was speculation here that

they would have to be dealt with not
as British subjects who aided en-

War Cutbacks May
Ease Food Supply
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
War production cutbacks and
/ reconversion may ease some of this
country's food supply strain by the
end of the year.
This possibility is being con-
sidered by food officials in connec-
tion with plans for sharing Ameri-
can food with hungry peoples in
Europe.
Agriculture Department econo-
mists say that reductions in mill
tary output now taking place should
tend to reduce consumer incomes.
And smaller consumer buying
power should be reflected, they add,
in somewhat reduced demand for
food.
Similarly, as industrial reconver-
sion gains momentum and is able to
put larger quantities of non-food
items on the market, there will be
tendency, the economists say, for
consumers to divert money from
food to other items coming back
into production.
Consumption and demand for
food during the war have been at
record levels largely because of two
facts: Cd civilians had more buy
ing power than ever before, and
CD they tended to concentrate their
buying in food markets because
such items as automobiles, radios,
refrigerators and the like were not
available.

terday and received today said
chaos prevailed in the Syrian capi-
tai, after an all-night French bonn
bardment of the city Tuesday night.
Clashes occurred all over the
country, and rebellion of the
fierce Druz tribesmen in the south
ern part of Syria apparently was
threatened.
Quiet prevailed in the neighbor-
ing Levant state of Lebanon.
The trouble f1ared up Tuesday
night, Damascus dispatches said,
when Syrian conscripts bolted from
the French forces and the French
fired into the crowd which well
coined the fugitives.
Each side accused the other of
starting the shooting.
Syria, predominantly Moslem, and
Lebanon, predominantly Christian,
were inundated to France after the
World War, and were promised their
independence when the British and
Free French of Gen. de Gaulle upset
Vichy rule and a threatened Ger
man invasion in 1941. Their inde-
pendence was proclaimed in 1943,
but negotiations have been COM
plicated by French insistence on re-
serving air and naval bases and pro-
lection for French pipeline across
the country to the Mosul oil fields.
The negotiations were broken OF
when the French sent troop rein

In his Paris statement the Syrian

the presence of French troops in
the country was unnecessary for
strategic purposes as Syria was re-

the German war was ended.

EscapeC| Planned
In Trade Agreements,
Senate Is Informed

Chairman Oscar B. Ryder of the
Tariff Commission told the Senate
Finance Committee today of an
intention to include, in all important
new trade agreements, an escape
clause to protect American indus
tries against any unexpected large
flow of imports during the uncertain
postwar period.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
seized on this testimony as being
inconsistent with the policy of max
ing reciprocal trade agreements.
The contemplated escape clause
already has been included in the
Mexican agreement, and makes it
possible for either country to i'm
pose temporary quotas on particu-
lar commodities, when excessive
quantities are moving into either
country, rather than cancel the
whole agreement.
Protests in Emergency.
"You are praising quotas as nee
essary to 60 along with trade agree
ments to make them bearable," !"
Senator Taft observed.
NO." Mr.. Ryder disagreed, "but
only to protect against unforeseen
emergencies.
Senator Taft suggested that If a
businessman reconverted his indus
try after this war to carry on an
export trade, instead of domestic
business, he might suddenly find
his trade cut off by operation of the
escape clause.
Mr.. Ryder said he believed the
escape clause would be widely used,
and Chairman George interrupted
to observe:
He would run much greater
risk of having his foreign trade cut

DAMASCUS, May 80 DelayeO -
This Syrian capital was in chaos
today after an all-night French
bombardment, and late reports from
Hama said the situation there was
equally bad. with British military
authorities receiving what they de-
scribed as "piteous appeals" for
relief.
Indiscriminate firing thus far
probably has cost 300 lives and
threatens to cost many more.
The latest report from Hama put
the casualties in today's fighting
there at more than 200. The town
was reported being bombed and
under fire from arms of all sorts.
There appears to be no solution IN
sight except outright British Amer
ican seizure of control. A high
French officer said the French must
be firm" and the Syrians are de-
termined not to bow, feeling that
giving in would prejudice their in
dependence.

In Syria and Lebanon were reported

commander in the two countries,

The violence erupted at 6:55 pm.

chine-gun fire, as well as aerial
bombs, rained on Damascus almost
increasingly. Syrian gendarmes
answered the fire with every avail
able weapon.
Damascus exploded into chaos
after week of high tension over
French insistence on Syrian and
Lebanese acceptance of a treaty
giving France special rights. They
accompanied their demands by
landing new troops in the Levant
states.

|ndiscriminute Shots Take Lives
OF 300 in Outbreak in Levunt

I can personally vouch only for
the conditions in Damascus. There
both the British and American le-
cations were shot up by machine
gun and rifle fire from French Sene-
galese troops and possibly also by
Syrian fire.
The wife of British Minister
Terence Shone was cut on the face
by flying glass when a bullet came
through the window of her resi-
dence.
1t is unsafe to venture into the
streets.
The Orient Palace Hotel, which is
the towns main hostel, was cut to
ribbons on the ground floor by a
crossflre from French posts nearby.
This hotel was manned by Syrian
gendarmes, but within 10 minutes
after the outbreak of the battle
they were ordered away to prevent
further French fire.
British Major Killed.
Since then the nationals of many
countries living there, including the
Russian Patriarch Alexei, who ar
rived in Damascus a few hours be-
fore the shooting began, were sub
jected to machine-gun and rifle
fire and to shelling by 75s and NOR
tarS.
A British major was killed by a
rife grenade fired into the basement
of the hotel where he was taking
shelter this morning.
The worst bombing was directed
at the Damascus citadel, which is
the city's strongpoint. Late reports
put the dead as high as $50, includ-
