NEW YORK. May 22—<AP)- The Free French radio in Brazza- ville, French Equatorial Africa, which said yesterday that Nee French troops had entered Syria, today broadcast that it could give no details or comments. The broadcast was recorded here by Columbia Broadcasting system.

"Such information could be in- jurious to the success of our fol- lowers," the broadcast said. It also quoted a French news agency as saying that in Palestine there were no reports of fighting on the syrian border.

Sir Kingsley Wood, Chancellor oi the Exchequer, paid a special trib- ute to Canada in the House of Commons today and the House cheered his reference to the Iisicy budget with its tariff concession‘; to United Kingdom goods and the pledge to finance the billk of Brit- isll purchases in Canada.

Sir Kingsley told the House "we are obtaining from Canaan war supplies of many kinds-food and raw materials. We couldn't Jbtfllll these vital necessary supplies willi- out the splendid help Canada is reéidy to give us on the financial

After Sir Kingsley finished, F. W. Peth‘ck-Lawl"ence, Labor, sazrl: "We know the people of Canada have warm hearts and We acknow- ledge the great obligations under which they are putting us in this respect."

Hum Molson, Conservative, who said the chancellor's reference to Canadifs assistance illeasecl him spcially because of his Canadian origin, suggested that "now that Canada is making this special ef- fort to help us. . . parents might be allowed to make more than vcry smilil contributions towards maln- tenance of evacuees in Canada."

(By W. T. Yzlrbrough. Associated Press Stuff Writer)

LONDON, May 23—(Friday)—(AP)— British naval guns roaring in the darkness off Crete were reported early today to have blasted whole boriilouds of Nazi reinforce- ments, while addcd thousands 0f German pzlrachutists plumped down 0n the island through a blinding shower of anti-aircraft shrapnel.

In the pro-dawn it appeared that the Germans, who al- ready hold two key island points and have gained mastery of the air were able to lzlud troops in numbers from above —ho\vever precziriously; but. that the fleet had stood off

Britain's powerful fleet also lift the night skies against the stream of big N planes which kept up a constant ferry service Greek mainland 100 miles away.

At 4 a.m. (11 p.m. A.D.T.) there still was no decisive turn reported in the epic zlir-versus-sea battle.

The steady German uir shuttle service bringing meu and supplies threatened t0 overcome the initial British- Greck ground advantage 0f numerical Sllp¢l‘l0l‘ll.y and artillery.

Confusion At Sea

midway along the northern shore of ancient forces hold a nearby airdrome.

To the west the British and Greek forces hold Canea. site of Iiing George's exiled Greek Government, but l0 miles to the southwest Germany's aerial troops have dug in l at Mlliemi airdrome.

Sk ies Aflame

The skies are aflame with scarchiighl beams, anti- aircraft tracer shells, and flares. Now and then the search- lights catch swirling clouds 0f parachutes where German machine-gunners are drifting down. Many of these 'chut- ists are dead by the time they strike the earth.

But the Nazis keep coming on recklessly, by para.- chute. glider planes and aerial transport. Reports say many transports have cracked up on the bomb-pitted sur- fuce of Malemi zlirdrome-alrcady savagely’ struck by Nazi bombs before the invasion started before dawn Tuesday.

Withdrawal of British fighting planes is n distinct disadvantage to the iicrce resistance of British and Greek ground forces. Now, however. the Defenders are being aided by Cretan guerrillas and often by Cretan women armed with long knives and pistols.

The Germans have undisputed possession of the air over the battle- giri. island itself, and unofficial estimates are that at lcast 1,000 Nazi aerial troops already have landed, with another division winging in be- hind them.

Severai thousand oi these have bcen wiped out or captured in the first two days of savage fighting.

Every Man For Himself

it is a case of every man for himself. according to British military ‘ orders. a vast and furious guerrilla fight where foe and friend often are

' indistinguishable.

Prime Miriistcr Churchill, in s gunrded recitnl to the House of Com- mons Thursday, pictured the fight as "s. desperate grim battle. . where neither side hos any means of retreat."

lnndnrl observers obviously are concerned about the withdrawal ui British p‘uncs from untenable positions on the island, but appear heartened by official implications that strong British naval units are ln action.
