Wireless to The New York Times, Sunday, 
June 22, 1941:  After the fall of Damascus, 
announced officially today, interest in 
operations has turned suddenly to the Eastern 
Desert.  ... The communique issued here 
tonight reports that "important motorized 
elements" coming from Iraq have crossed the 
frontier and made immediately for Tadmur, 
following the caravan trail that runs beside the 
French pipeline to Tripoli [Lebanon].
