.Levant Crisis Hinted
As Cause Of Hopkins
Remaining in Soviet
BY the Associated Press.

oS LHt ASSOCldteQ tEeSS.
MOSCOW, June 2.-Harry Hop
kins, President Truman's personal
representative, delayed his depar-
ture for Washington today to take
up what a well-informed source said
was new work k'-possibly the sitla-
ton in the LeVant.
Soviet willingness to take part in
any international discussion to end
the Levant controversy was seen in
RuSSia's note to other members Of
the Big Five, urging speedy settle
ment of the dispute.
Mr. Hopkins. who had prepared
to return to the United States for
a report to the White House on his
four talks with Premier Stain. post
poned his departure for at least an
other short period.
Mr.. Hopkins officially had wound
up his visit to the Soviet Union last
night when a sumptuous dinner was
spread for him and his wife at the
Kremlin. Premier Stain was the
host.
Those present drank a toast to
the health of President Truman.
Present were nine other Americans
and the dinner marked the first
time since the war that two Amer
lean women - Mrs. Hopkins and
Kathleen Hartman, daughter of the
United States Ambassador - had
taken part in a Kremlin ceremony
Premier Stain was said to have
been in rare form, becoming par
ticularly pleasing to the Americans
when he proposed toast to the
new President of the United States,
whom he has yet to meet. Toasts
also were drunk to Prime Minister
Churchill.
Those present at the Kremlin din
ner included United States Ambas-
sador W. Averell Hartman, British
Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, United States Minister George
Kennan and Maj. Gen. j. R. Deane,
chief of the United States military
mission; Maj. Gen. Sidney Spalding,
chief of the United States lease
lend mission; Brig. Gen. Franks
chief of staff of the military
mission; Rear Admiral Houston
of the military mission. and Charles
Bohlen, an assistant to the Secretary
of State who has served as trans
lator and adviser on the Hopkins
mission.
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov and A. I. Mikoyan, COM
missar of foreign trade, were among
the Russians present.

Sufficient Nurses
On Duty, Army Stops
Taking Applications

The Army Nurse Corps now has
enough nurses to assure adequate
care for wounded and sick soldiers
and no more applications are being
received for the present, the sur
geon generals office notified the
American Red. Cross yesterday.
The Red Cross has been the off,
cial recruiting agency for nurses
since the beginning of the war.
Until recently, the War Depart
ment was faced with shortage of
nurses which before We day be-
came so critical that legislation
authorizing a draft of nurses was
asked. A draft bill passed the House
and was snagged in the Senate after
the European war ended. The
Army recently dropped the plan.
disclosing that it could obtain
enough nurses by voluntary enlist
ment.
Miss Virginia Dunbar,s admins
traitor of the Red Cross nursing
service, said it was anticipated
student nurses serving their senior
cadet period in Army hospitals
would be sufficient to meet future
needs.
From Pearl Harbor to We day,
she reported, the Red Cross certi-
fed to the armed forces almost
100000 nurses, of whom nearly 73,-
900 have served in the Army or
Navy.
Miss Dunbar said those volun-
teers represent more than a third
OF all the active registered nurses
in the country.

intentions. The diplomat of whom
you speak represented his country
at Beyrouth for three years. 1t is
difficult for me to imagine that he
carried out policy different from
that Of his government
Asked if the French government
had asked the recall Of other Brit
ish officials, he said:
IF the government had made a
list of all those whose recall it con-
sidered to be advantageous, that
would be an almost interminable
list.
During the conference Gen. de
Gaulle appeared to relish the fact
that the Soviet government has ad-
dressed communication to France
indicating Russian concern with
developments in Levant.
He made the point, previously ex-
pressed in some French newspapers
that in this dispute France dis
tinguishes between the British peo-
pie and the Churchill government
He said there is not the least bit
terness or rancor against the Brit
ish people. We have for them the
greatest possible esteem and affec-
ton but there are interests which
oppose us"
Then using the German WORD
"diktat," which the French have
borrowed. Gen. de Gaulle said, I'VE
must finish with diktats and crises
The French leader asserted the
French people are solidly backing
the government and declared they
will exert every effort to assure
that their dignity and interests are
respected.
Gen. de Gaulle asserted that the
Levant dispute is lamentable and
dangerous and can only be settled
by international cooperation where
] in France is ready to take its part.

Jap Soldiers Killed
By Navy Comrades

(This is another of series of
stories on submarine activities
and men OF the underseas fleet
in the Pacifc)
BY the Associated Press.
AT SUBMARINE BASE IN PA
CIFIC, June 2-Ruthless destruc-
ton of Japanese soldiers by their
navy comrades" is the most vivid
memory of one submarine torpedo1
man who has seen action in all parts
of the Pacific.
1t was not far from the japanese
homeland that a submarine on
which Robert Benny Bentham is
a torpedoman launched torpedo
at a loaded japanese troop trans
port.
The fish sped to it's mark. The
ship obviously was doomed. Troops
had gone over the side seeking to
escape the sinking craft.
The troops were swimming in
the water, hanging on to pieces of
wood" Benny recalled while she
was going down the crew of the
transport were throwing depth
charges, blowing everything in the
water to hell. It's just another in
dlcation of Jap indifference to per-
sonnel"

British Method of Intervening
In Levont Viewed as ToctIess

fewer than IA different religious
elements, most Of which hate and
fear each other and have special
interests to serve, it is not incon-
ceivable that irresponsible individ-
uals or groups may have thought
the moment opportune to start
trouble in the hope of putting the
French in bad light before the
world. There may even have been
genuine Syrian patriots who are
opposed to any special privileges
for France at all, who may tacitly
or actively encourage such an at
titude in the hope that the ,csulC
might enable Syria to get out of
granting any such privileges in the
final treaty of independence.
French Desires Listed.
The special privileges desired by
the French fall generally into three
categories-cultural, economic and
strategic. The traditional position OF
France as the protector of the
Christian minorities in Syria and
Lebanon has a history which runs
back for centuries. Almost every
page of that history testihes to the
fact that in the interest of peace
and humanity somebody is going
to have to protect the various little
religious groups and establishments
in this part of the world, and il
should be added that there are un-
orthodox Moslem minorities as well
as Christian in the Levant states
The principal economic interest
Of France in Syria and Lebanon is
the French branch of the Mosul
pipeline, on which the reviving in
dustry and transportation system
of France is dependent for fuel and
lubricants. This pipeline has to be
patrolled constantly to protect it
from the desert tribes. The ability
OF a Syrian government. without
French assistance, to perform this
task Is as yet undemonStrated.
Around this point centers much of
the argument over the so-called
"troupes speciales." which are local
forces trained, officered and equip
ped by the French, and which the
governments of the two states want
handed over to their unrestricted
control.
Finally, the French now demand
the right to maintain strategic air
bases in LeVantine territory, pre-
sumably as stations on their air
routes to Madagascar and to French
1ndO-China. This is a demand which
is difficult to oppose on the ground
OF principle, since both the United
States and Great Britain will desire
TO maintain certain strategic bases
by proper arrangement. on the terri
tory Of other states. Indeed, it will
be essential to the peace of the
world that they should do so. But
some cold-blooded observers con-
slder that it is unrealistic for the
French, at least at present, to try
to support a far-fung empire whose
communications are almost wholly
protected and maintained by British
ana American sea and air power.
Problems Complicated.
Behind all this lie the complicated
and difficult problems centerine
around the future of the whole
Middle East area. Some solution
must be found for all these problems
by negotiation and agreement among
the nations, great and small, whose
interests are concerned and not
forgetting the common interest OF

Damascus Syrians Kill
7 Senega|ise Troops;
British Save French
BY the Associated Press.


DAMASCUS. June 2-Angry Sy-
rian crowds today caught and killed
two Senegalese soldiers trying to
reach French headquarters from
their outpost while British troops
strove to protect the French.
French troops are being taken
from their barracks in the city by
the British under cover of the cur
few, and barracks as yet not evacu-
ated are guarded heavily by British
armor. All Senegalese guards at
the French headquarters are heav-
lily armed.
Some French conscripts early to-
day fired on passerby from a bar
racks wall, wounding two. The
wounded were rescued by British
tanks.
Since noon, Damascus has been
quiet, but there is tension as citizens
inspect their costs in lives and prop
erty from the three-day battle here
Casualties still have not been as
sessed fully.
French Officer Fired.
Meanwhile, it was announced that
Gen. Olivia-Roget, French officer
who directed the bombing, shelling
and machine cunning of Damascus
which started Tuesday night, has
been dismissed from his command
by British request.
Gen. Oliva-Roget's superior off,
Ger, Gen. Humblot, was taken on a
British conducted tour in an arm
ored car through the shattered and
bleeding city. Gen. Humblot had
remained at Beyrouth until the
British intervened to halt the
French Syrian fighting which
stopped late yesterday.
The British commission this aft
ernoon visited French barracks
hunting for Syrian hostages which
the Syrians declare the French took
The British also sought to recover
loot taken from Damascus hotels
during the fighting.
French Houses Looted.
Syrians looted several French
houses today while cheering crowds
of townspeople looked on. They
were halted by strong patrols of
Syrian gendarmes.
British 9th Army forces continued
to take over trouble spots through
out Syria. Though communications
continue bad, it was believed the
British had entered HONS, Hama
and Aleppo. Hama was reported as
badly or worse damaged than Da-
mascus, particularly from shelling
with casualties believed high.

of the world community.
Thus it is certainly to the common
interest that the little religious min
critics of the Levant shall be pro-
tected, and that French industry
shall have the oil it needs in order
to restore prosperity to millions of
Frenchmen; just as 1t is also to the
common interest that disorder in
Syria should not be permitted to
spread to adjacent Middle East
states.

Resident Colleges
In Sweden

Although Danish residential
Peoples Colleges have attracted
much attention, School for Life"
recently published in London by
Miss F. M. Forster MRS. E.
Evans), gives the first detailed
account in English of the resident
ial colleges for adult education
in Sweden. The author went to
Sweden in 1887 to study recent
developments in secondary schools
but becoming interested in the
Peoples Colleges, and being af-
forded generous facilities for
studying them, she spent a year
in doing so, and now offers the
results Of her findings to her
fellow countrymen and women,
hoping to show "how interesting,
fascinating and inspiring adult
education in residential college
for workers of all classes and
status can be-"
In fact the author believes that,
although Denmark was the pio-
neer in this experiment the Swed-
ish colleges, which differ from
them in some respects, have par
ticularly helpful suggestions to Of
fer to an industrial country like
England, for a number of reasons,
one being that these colleges. I'M
like those of Denmark, have at
tracted artisan and industrial,
workers as well as those from
agriculture.
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1945-02-01
THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN

Perhaps" she writes, "the
Swedish experiment can partly
answer the problem set by Sir
Richard Livingstone. Conditions
here and in Denmark are very dit
ferent, Denmark Is predominately
agricultural, England is indus
trial, and it is easier for a farmer
or peasant to leave his work dur
ing the slack season than for
clerk or factory operative to
throw up his job for five months
and run the risk of losing it per-
manently :"
The book includes chapters on
the history, the external and the
internal organization of the col
leges, and chapter each on four
outstanding examples, Brunnsvik,
Arvika, Birkagarden, and Sigtuna
colleges. In the final chapter,
dealing with the significance of
these colleges, the author writes:
1.-THE real relation of learning to
living can only be apprehended at
the stage Of adult education, when
the student has already had some
experience of life outside and be-
yond the shelter of home, in the
struggle for livelihood and in the
turmoil of industrial and 1agricu.-
tural competition and in the
awakening of his own physical,
moral and spiritual faculties"
