British to Intervene In French Fight In Syria, Lebanon
London, (INS) — British foreign secretary Anthony Eden today told the house of commons that General Sir Bernard Paget, British commander in chief in the Middle East, had been ordered to intervene in Syria and the Lebanon in order to prevent further bloodshed. Eden told the house that the situation in Syria had deteriorated further with fighting between French and Syrian forces spreading throughout Damascus.
Cries of "shame" greeted Eden's recital of the bombing of Damascus by French airplanes. Eden said the Syrian governor of Hama had appealed to the British Ninth army to arrange an armistice so he can evacuate the many dead and wounded from his city.

Seniors to Have Cakewalk After 5-Year Blackout
The Senior Cakewalk will be on June 9.
Featuring Dutch Holland's band, the Cakewalk will be an informal dance this year—from 9 to 12 p.m. in the Military Science building, Mariette Bennett, University dance manager, announced.
Students "cakewalked" to the slide music of Will Osborne in the Union ballroom in 1940. The previous year Kay Kyser and his "Kollege" played for the Cakewalk in Hoch auditorium.
Until five years ago when the shortage of good bands, the shortage of men and just the general shortage caused it to put in a disappearance, the Cakewalk was the climax of a year's social activities.
Before 1925, the Cakewalk resembled a senior party more than a dance. These old parties were held in the gymnasium where the students recited readings, served punch and wafers, and waltzed a little on the side. In those days the Cakewalk was planned for the night of a full moon. After 1925, it was made an all-school dance, with the best dance band available.
Committee chairmen in charge of dance arrangements are Ruth Prentice, Robert Bayles, and Kathleen Hazen.
Margaret Kay Gave Recital Last Night

Her final selection was "Zigeunerweisen" (Sarasate).
She wore a gown of white marquette with fern-shaped jet ornaments at the waist and on the left shoulder. Her ushers were Mrs. Barbara Parsons, Doris Turney, Drawn Straus and Elaine Howard.

International News Service
The keystone of Japan's defenses on bloody Okinawa tootered on the brink of disaster today as United States Tenth army forces smashed down on Shuri.
The enemy citadel was besieged from three sides. The Shuri bastion on southern Okinawa began crumbling as elements of the Sixth Marine division and the army's veteran Seventh slogged through mud and rain to slam shut the enemy's sole avenue of escape south.
Sixth division leathernecks struck out from captured Naha on the west coast and the army's Seventh, slashing from the east coast, were some 3,000 yards apart to the south.
