THE M ICHIGAN DAILY: SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1941 1 'Rose Wins Indianapolis Auto Race Fakhri MaIluf Reports Syrians Revolt A ainst Beirut "Bastille' News from Syria has been veryd scarce in the last two weeks but apparently an underground move- ment has terminated in an open up- rising directed against the Beirut pri- son, according to Fakhri Maluf, one of the recognized intellectual lead- ers in the Syrian National move- ment. Through a special Brazilian news service, Maluf has learned that a mass demonstration stormed the prison, attempting to release a few hundred of the political prisoners who have been held there and sub- jected to great suffering for theirI beliefs. To date, there has been no official confirmation of this state- ment by the French government. Called New Bastille "This prison," said Maluf, "has been known as the new Bastille ever since it almost became the perman- ent residence of Mr. Saadeh, the leader of the Syrian nationalist movement, and other prominent per- sons of his party. The French gov-I ernment has always resented the name given the prison because it signified the possibility of such an attack as has just occurred." The news said that this uprising was opposed by the French army who fired on, and killed several of the leaders. The unarmed attackers by far outnumbered the regular army and succeeded in reaching the jail. Nationalist Spirit This action, according to Maluf, has again aroused the nationalistic spirit in Syria and made the situation exceedingly precarious for the man- datory power. Syria will undoubted- ly play a decisive role in the battle of the Near East. Demonstrations of this nature prove that the leader- ship is exceedingly alert. Maluf, a former instructor of phys-" ics and mathematics in the America University at Beirut, recently closed by government order, was sentencedf a few months ago to 15 years im- prisonment for alleged opposition to French policy, Brass Choir To Play With C arillon Today An innovation in carillon composi- tion will be featured in the regular carillon program to be played by Prof. Percival Price, University carillon- neur, at 7:15 p.m. today.

Liberty periods will be granted the cadets during the cruise. Members of the unit have high hopes of flashing their uniforms in some of the Mich- igan resort towns - Petoskey, Charle- voix, or Leland. The ports where liberty will be allowed have not been announced yet, however. Lieut. Palmer In Charge Lieut. Robie E. Palmer, U.S.N., will be in charge of the Michigan NROTC representatives this summer. For in- struction in gunnery and seamanship, respectively, Chief Gunner's Mate Breitenbach and Chief Boatswain's Mate Andrews will go along with Lieut. Palmer. Ranking cadet officer on the cruise will be Battalion Com- mander Burnett H. Crawford, '44. One aspect of the trip which' NROTC students are inclined to view with apprehension is the slinging and - more important - the sleeping in hammocks. A practice hammock was slung last week in North Hall, and ca- dets took turns in "retiring." No casualties were reported, but a few of the larger members of the unit had a little trouble.

For only two of the five feline bundles of joy are still alive. The other three were smothered to death amidst the clothing in the closet where Mathilda bore her litter. Joe seems to be having trouble digesting his food, but Luther is doing very well. As for Mathilda, she is recuperating rapidly, and meows as proudly about two as about five.
