Gran Witnesses Most Re- sistance By French Col.
 Onial Troops PLANES READY TO USE CAPTURED FIELD Bizerte, Opposite Sicily, Is Objective to East of
 Algiers
BY EDWARD W. .BEATTTE United Press Staff Correspondent

NSSSu AACSS 0SoAA OOAASSpVhuchtg.
 London, Nov. 9.-UP)- The American forces in Africa mopped up Algiers today and drove east toward the Tunisian frontier with powerful reinforcements streaming ashore at the AL gerian and Moroccan bridge heads already firmly in U. s. control.
 American forces, according to Vichy reports, swarmed ashore at Philippeville, only 100 miles west of Tunisia, and other unconfirmed reports said there had been land- ings within 60 miles of Tunisia which is the backdoor to the Axis positions in Tripolitania. Tanning out vest ward from Algiers, U. s. forces were closing in on Gran which appeared to be the scene of some of the most severe action on the Northl African coast.
 American planes were operatiug from French African airfields and massive endorsements including hundreds of American bombers were reported streaming up to the African shore.
 British infantry was followina the American assault forces ashore at many points. With the excep- tion of French naval opposition and heavy firing from naval-manned shore batteries the U. S. troops had not met with notably determined resistance.
 A report from the African head. quarters of Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, British admiral in command of the joint naval force, said that the only naval losses in the initial action were two small craft lost in forcing an entry into Gran harbor..
 However, the Nad-controlled ra- dio Paris insisted that three Amer ican warships were damaged by Casablanca's coastal batteries. The French admitted they had lost se- verely in a naval action of Casa blanca.
 While allied advices on the Mo- roccan situation were skimpy, the Vichy radio reports indicated that this key to the French northwest African coast may be in imminent danger of falling to the Americans.
 Vichy said that several American regiments have driven to the en- virons of the town and it appeared likely that such Moroccan strong points as Agadir, Mogador and Mahdia are about ready to capi- tulate if, as matter of fact. they are not already in American hands.
 American landings around Gran were said to be progressing and it was believed that with Algiers safely in American control heavy forces would quickly sweep west- ward to get control of Gran and the coast between Gran and Algiers. The eastward sweep of U. S. forces had taken the American vanguard almost half way to Biz- erte, the Tunisian strong point di- rectly opposite Italian-held Pan. telleria and Sicily.
 Bizerte is known to be strongly fortified and in American hands would provide base not only for carrying the war to Sicily but also for advancing on Tripoli. 250 miles to the east. Such a drive would squeeze Rommel firmly in a nut cracker since he is already racing westward with the British 9th Army chewing at his heels.
 It was understood that hundreds of Allied heavy and medium bornb~ CTS are awaiting capture of eastern French African airdromes ready to

HENRI-HAYEIS
 SENT PASSPORT
Formal End to FrancO= American Relations Ex=
 pected Today
BY MERRIMAN SMITH

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Nov. 9.-UP)- Secretary of State COrdel Hull formally announced a breach in diplomatic relations with France and said the passport of Ambassa- dor Gaston Henry-Haye was being sent to him at the French em- bassy.
 Hull said that for the time be- ing the breach in relations did not invoke any question of a declara- ton of war.
 The Vichy ambassador had not made any appointment to visit the State Department to arrange for his return to Farnce. But the State Department began to ar- range for his passport soon after the American embassy in Vichy notified it that the Vichy govern ment had ordered break.
 The passport was sent to the French ambassador through the State Departments division of protocol.
 The Vichy French cabinet council announced in Vichy that the Uni ted States "by attacking France, broke off relations with France"
 But there has been no official confirmation. That will come when Henri-Haye, ambassador since the fall of France, calls at the state department, probably to deliver for mai notification that France has severed diplomatic relations and ask for his passport.
 A diplomatic break would leave the fighting French delegation here as the remaining tie between the American and French peoples. But it is doubtful that the representa- tives of Gen. Charles De Gaulle, Fighting French leader, would be given diplomatic status. De Gaulle might, however, be recognized as the official representative of the cap tured portions of the French Afri- can Empire.
 Benjamin Franklin cemented the Franco-American relations on Feb 6, TIT, when he negotiated treaty by which France became the first
