BY HAMILTON w. FARON

GUAM, May 81 R First
Division Marines, who yester-
day raised the American flag in
victory over Shuri Castle, press
ed flank attack today against
the Nipponese Shuri town garri-
son fanatically holding out
against two divisions north and
east of the ruined city.
The advance patrols of the
Fifth Regiment met slight oppo-
sition as they showed ahead
toward the Western flank of the
almost encircled enemy.
Company A of the Fifth Regi-
ment under Capt. Julius d. Du-
.seL5erry of Charlotte, N. c.,
first occupied Shuri Castle,
which has been the headquar-
tiers of the japanese command
on OkinaWa.
WIPE OUT GARRISON
The invading leathernecks
found only so japanese troops,
which they killed, and two
women and a baby. The garrison
had withdrawn with most Of its
equipment before the attack.
One of the first acts of the
occupying company was to raise
the stars and bars of the Amer.
lean Civil War Confederacy.
which was the company's vic
tory flag at bloody Peleliu. The
American Standards was offic-
tally raised approximately 25
hours later.
Advance units of Mai. Gen.
Lemuel c. Shepherd Jr.'s Sixth
Marine Division on the west
flank and Maj. Gen. Archibald
V. Arnold's Seventh Infantry
Division on the East were, at
last reports, less than two miles
apart. Their expected juncture
about a mile south of Shuri will
ring that second city of Okina-
wa and halt apparent Japanese
efforts to withdraw troops.

By ALEX II. SINGLETON
LONDON, May 81 - R -
Prime Minister Churchill called
upon Gen. De Gaulle today to
withdraw French troops in
Syria to their barracks. Britain
has instructed her armed forces
in the Middle East TO intervene
in the fighting between French
and Syrian forces to prevent
further bloodshed, Churchill
said.
De Gaulle called key ministers
into session in Paris immediate
ly after he received Churchill's
demand. Paris dispatches said
the French government was sur
prised at the London announce
ment.
In Washington, the State de-
partment disclosed the United
States last Monday had urged
France 70 review her policy to-
ward Syria and neighboring
Lebanon.
FIRES SWEEP CITY
Fighting which has taken at
least 800 lives continued in DAM
ascuS, and two huge fires swept
sections of the city.
Britain, with France, promis-
ed the Levant States their indie
pendence after British and
French forces eliminated Vichy
control there.
In order TO avoid a collision
between British and French
forces we request you immedi.
ately to order French troops to
cease fire and to withdraw to
their barracks" Churchill told
De Gaulle.
British forces have been in
Syria since 194l when they and
the Free French knocked out
German control.
The action was announced in
Commons by Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden following the
third emergency session Of the
British cabinet in "a hours.
PROMISE DISCUSSIONS
Once firing has ceased and
order has been restored we shall
be prepared to begin tripartite
discussion here in London" the
message to De Gaulle continued.
Eden said Damascus had been
bombed from the air and SUBJ
jected to heavy, concentrated,
shellfire after British and U. S.
civilians were evacuated.
The British minister in Da.
mascus reported the situation
had deteriorated further in the
Syrian capital, Eden said, with
heavy firing and Smelling during

reported spreading.

man in Paris had declared that q
direct collision between Britain
and France was possible as the
result of the fighting between
Syrians and French which al
ready had cost 800 or more lives.
The Syrian minister in Paris
declared only outside interview

BATTLES SPREAD
"The fighting is spreading"
Eden said. I'VE are only in touch

Eden said an armistice was
