Because the United States and Eng land "abandoned" France to the Ger man Blitzkrieg in May of 1940, and did not feel it their duty to reply to French appeal, France must now turn to Germany to secure her fate," it was stated bluntly. CAIRO British land and air forces struck heavily today in defense of the Suez Canal blasting German troops carrying planes on "enemy" airdromes in French Syria and virtually driving Italo-German armored forces from their, toe hold inside Egypt. Three Syrian airdromes were at tacked by British planes which bombed and machine gunned Nazi aircraft en route to Iraq to aid the pro-German re volt of Premier Gailaini who has "urgently" appealed to Adolf Hitler. BEIRUT French High Commission er, General Henri Dentz admitting that German planes are crossing Syria, today angrily charged Great Britain with "flagrant hostilities towards France" and with the bombing of French air bases, military barracks and other objectives. LONDON Preparing swiftly for the eventuality of war against France, Great Britain tonight pro claimed a new Mediterranean mine zone Diocking tne coast oi rencn Syria, where British planes are bomb ing air bases used by the Nazi air forces.

It was between Tony's 7 and 9:30 o'clock shows over in Durham, the night before he came over to Carolina for the junior-seniors, and Tony was having some "chicken in the rough" and discussing what he likes best music. Vreople say tnat my boys are a swing band. We play swing; but not all the time!" and Tony pointed a chicken leg for emphasis. "We play congas and rumbas everything for entertainment; to please the people." "Neat Arrangement" "We've just made one of the neatest little arrangements you'd ever want to hear," he confided. "One night one of the boys was playing around on the piano on 'Dinah' a perfect tune to begin with and we cooked up this new arrangement without even trying. Although he's sung them thousands of times, Tony still is' not tired of "Let's Do It" and 'Taradiddle Joe." "You know that crack in 'Number Ten Lullaby Lane' where I say, 'I'm the Pastor'?" vHe chuckled. "That's another one of those flukes we were playing it at the Lincoln; and someone on the dance floor yelled the crack at me." Contrary to statements printed in press releases on Pastor, he did not take over Artie Shaw's band when Shaw quit the business. "When Artie got sick, out in California," he ; ex plained, "I did take over for 10 weeks; but oniy as a fill-in. I quit the band when Artie did, and Georgie Auld took it over. The band wanted to in corporate, and I didn't like that. Too many bosses spoils the soup, you know." I Until Tony filled in for Artie, he had never had any intention of becom ing a band leader. "When I was pinch-hitting for Shaw, I said, 'Pas tor, look out! This might not be so bad.'" He smiled. "Cy Shribbman, the angel behind Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Charlie Spivak, and Claude Thornhill, financ ed me, and before I even had a band, I had a contract with Bluebird." For the sake of the records, the first Pastor band was formed a year and a half ago. - Recently closing a seven- months run at the Lincoln, Tony and the boys are now touring the country. Stubby Pastor, Tony's 17-year-old kid brother, will join the band in a week or two to play fourth trumpet. "There's another kid with the band Eugenie Baird, our vocalist," he jsaid. "Jeanie's only 18. She sang at a radio station in Pittsburg before we took I1CA Vll. The draft has taken five of Tony's men. "Yeah," he sighed, stuffing the last piece of chicken in his mouth, "Tony Pastor is now raising boys for Uncle Sam." From Now On, It's Thumbs Up L. B. Rogerson, assistant controller and business manager of the Univers ity, hates hitch-hikers. "If anything makes me mad it's seeing one of those thumbs go out." But the "little flower of South Building" was hum ming a different tune after his re cent luckless experience. He sympath izes with "thumbers." in fact, he thinks the pointed thumb should be respected. - It seems that Rogerson was out in specting one of his brain children a housing project when he found himself away from his car, some where between Rogerson Drive and Rogerson Forest and Rogerson Alley. He ended up several miles away at the airport and thumb as he would, nobody cared to give him a ride back to his car or town or even Roger son Forest or Drive or Alley. So the assistant comptroller has turned over a new leaf. Rogerson: "Anybody who's going someplace and can't get a ride can count on me to sympathize with them." ART SHOW (Continued from first page) anyone who, like Neil, although not an art student, is interested in art, to come to 'the studio and paint. Explaining why he paints the way he does, Thomas said, "I paint the way I do because I have always done that way. There's no meaning or ex planation to my pictures; there could be none. I just set, down one line, which suggests another; one color which suggests another, and there ia a painting." Other Artists Eleven other student artists are rep resented in the show, which will con tinue through June 10. They are Gar- land Peterson, Charlotte Shields, Al lan Grimes, .Jim Pace, Hight Moore, Eunice Patten, Edgar Thome, Ernie Hlman, Mrs. Ruth Latty, Joe Rankin, and Jean Gott. The student show is being exhibited along with a collection of modern French paintings, never before shown in art galleries, by famous masters of the "School of Paris." A student nre- view from 5 until 8 o'clock tomorrow night will feature a speech by Georges Levy, the man who made the French exhibit financially possible. Music (and refreshments will be served. DURHAM HIGH (Continued from page three) runs. Fred Peeler, his successor, turned in a fine relief performance. He gave up only one hit and struck out five in the final three innings. Durham scored two runs off Peeler in the eighth but both were the re sult of errors. Branch with three singles in five attempts led Durham's offense. Jones with a home" run and single and Gor don Carver with a triple and single shared runner-up honors. Salisbury's three hits were divided among as many players. The victory was the East's only triumph in the three championship games. James A. Gray in the Class B division and Pleasant Garden in the Class C competition won titles for the West last week. - I '- ' 4 , , WARING composer of over 50 H- I college hit songs-in zZl .
