|ON. May 22—(U.P.)—British and Greek defenders of re reported early today to be locked in bloody hand Rattle. Thousands of German parachute troops were over the mountains, plateaus, valleys, and beaches of the beleaguered island.
Unofficial but reliable reports indicated that probably 15.000 Nazi invaders already had reached Crete. Aerial troop transports were roaring overhead almost constantly. INTENSIFY BLITZKRIEG
Another 40.000 Germans were reported in Greece ready to take off and swell the invasion forces engaged in a steadily intensifying air blitzkrieg designed to drive the British fiom the vital empire bastion of the eastern Mediterranean which Prime Minister Winston Churchill had pledged to defend to the death.
Authoritative sources revealed that the Germans had undertaken landings from small ships in the in the Foyer of Town Uny coves and along the beaches [, Saturday, June 7, at of northwestern Crete.
The British fleet was presumed to be throwing its powerful weight into the defense of the shore line, though British sources voiced doubt that the axis would be able to put any great strain on the warships of Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham.
USE SMALL CRAFT On the other hand, it was admitted that small craft which the Germans were said to have massed along the Greek coast line and at the Greek islands and Rhodes might be able to slip through the British navy’s guard under cover of darkness.
Naval experts, citing the possibility of the Germans using some units of the Italian fleet to support an invasion attempt by sea to follow up the aerial thrust, suggested that they might lie offshore and drop amphibian tanks such as the Germans used to cross the Meuse in the conquest of France.

Emotional Suspense Evoked by Quartet
By Virginia McCollister
Packed with suspense and a wide variety of moods, Brahms’ chamber music in the renditions of the Coolidge quartet, Thomas Petre, and Gunnar Johansen last night would really be in left one with the inescapable im- something.
These works are permeated with a sense of hidden significance which makes one feel that, if he could only lift that last curtain and penetrate their meaning, he possession of
pression such music can be surpassed by no other composer of ensemble works.
There can be little doubt, too. as to the sensitivity of these musicians, the rightness of their intuition, and the fine give-and-take of their collective playing. Their program in Bovard auditorium covered the Quintet in F-major, Op. 88. the Quartet in A-major, Op. 26.
1 and the Sextet in G-major, Op. 36.
Brahms’ habit of keeping two or more different kinds of rhythm going at the same time might lead the unwary listener to decide that and musicians themselves are not keeping very good time. A more likely conclusion would be that the All students are invited to ac- Coolidge quartet and their associ-company the zoologists on their | ates are unusually skilled at man-tours.	aging these tricks.
toothaches, lumbago, cancer, other present-day diseases.
The dreamy Poco Adagio of the A-major quartet is a movement of delicacy, tenderness, and yearning. The finale rushed pellmell into an unrestrained Hungarian dance that is even more breathless than the one in the G-minor Piano Quartet, which will come on the last program Monday night.
Brahms does a little pioneering in boogie-woogie in the sextet's first movement, with long sustained tremolos that are shuttled back and forth between the instruments, and carried simultaneously on different tones. Then there's one of those unearthly Brahms adagios in the sextet—unearthly both in the sense of other-woridliness and of ethereal beauty. It elicits that old sigh well-known to this composer's , followers—Ph, Brahms!
NEW YORK. May 21.—<U.P>—The Brazzaville radio reported late today that forces of “Free French” troops have invaded French Syria and that a regiment of General Henri Dentz's Syrian defense forces was believed to have gone over to the Free French.
The broadcast of the "Free French” radio at Brazzaville on the French equatorial African coast, heard in New York by CBS. said that few details of the invasion of Syria (presumably from Palestine) were available.
“But we have reason to believe,’’ j the Free French radio said, “that I a French regiment has already i joined our troops. This regiment , is commanded by a colonel who won much fame during the famous Greek campaign in 1917.
“The situation is still unsettled.”
The Brazzaville broadcast said that the main body of General Dentz’s Syrian troops had been instructed to fall back toward Lebanon.
