 Bone Under Attack
 Radio Morocco at Rabat reported that the reinforced German air force in Tunisia, striving desperately to slow the Allied drive, had attacked Bone the Allied base on the Alger- ian coast, and Algiers.
 Radio Algiers quoted an Ameri- can army communique saying that during German plane attack on Allied posts along the Algeria -Turi- guns downed four enemy planes and s!a frontier Wednesday anti-aircraft British fighters i've. Six British fighters were lost, Radio Algiers said.
 Though the Germans were under stood to have formed a strong de- fense zone extending out 30 miles from the Ttinis- Bizerta area, 1t was reported that Allied mobile units had penetrated to within 25 miles of the towns from the south.
 The Fighting French radio Braz- zaville reported that the Allies were overrunning all Tunisia except the two defense zones and 1t was evi- dent that the Axis forces were defin- itely and probably finally cut of from Libya, where Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's shattered Afrika Korps remnants were retreating westward before the British Eighth Army.
 From west of Bizerte to southeast of Tunis, the Germans were indi- cated to be defending Q front of about 100 miles behind which was the northeast corner of Tunisia.
 They had been beaten soundly in four small clashes with United States troops, the first between American and Germans since the last World War, and in several clashes with the British,
 French Turn Back Nazis
 It was reported also that rapidly organizing French troops had thrown back German thrusts along the east coast in the Gulf of Gabes area.
 The present situation seemed to be that the Allied army under Lieut.. Gen. Kenneth A. N. Anderson and American Maj. Gen. Charles W. Rider was pressing in overwhelming force eastward to invest the Biz erte-Tunis and Gabes defense zones and reduce them at leisure.
 The British First Army, reinforced by American mobile units, was re- ported to be holding firmly at Beja, 45 miles southwest of Bizerte, and Kaala, 90 miles inland.
 American troops reinforced by French regulars were reported marching eastward toward the Gulf of Gabes coast by way of Feriana, 50 miles south of Kalaa, and Gafsa, 40 miles south-southeast of F'eriana.
 It was reported that Allied para chutists and French toorps were holding both Feriana and Gafsa.
 Thus the Allies were advancing along a 16-mile front from north to south.
 The British were advancing along one railroad on the north coast.
 Repulses Claimed by Naxis
 Germany asserted that its troops had repulsed the British on the road to Bi7erte, and that Its planes had bombed Allied artillery at Abiod, 50 miles west of Bizerte, and British endorsements at Beja, 59 miles

LAVAL SEEKING
 NEW ALLIANCE
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D will never be peace in Europe with- out reconciliation between France and Germany. No country in Eu- rope will be able to live in peace unless cooperating with Germany.
 T believe in Germany's victory, but even If Germany should lose the war would continue the same pol- icy of reconciliation France does not consider herself beaten yet.
 "New volunteer legions which will be raised will give the answer to the fresh insults which France has had to suffer.
 By clear, coherent and per- sistent policy France will retain her power at home and in the French colonies. I am convinced that this aim will be reached yet. Discus sion which I have had with the Fuehrer at Montoire and Munich have strengthened me in this con- viction. The Fuehrer's letter to Marshal Petain (announcing the German march into unoccupied .France) made me feel certain that I am right"
 Laval tried to revieve the Jewish Communist bogey, with which the Nazis try to frighten their own peo- pie and other Europeans. If the Allies win, he said, France will be ruled by Q Jewish Communist ale liance.'
 Observers regarded 1t as Q Ger man speech in the French language,
 Herbert Curtius, Trans-O Oceans "chief correspondent" wrote that "the people" were waiting for Laval to exercise his new powers and put France into the war on the side of the Axis, according to radio Ber- lin.
 Reports reaching the Swiss from tier. said the German army in the former free zone of France was in- creasing in size daily.
 Frenchmen, 1t was said, main- tained their reserve and avidly fol- lowed accounts of Allied successes in North Africa.
 German newspapers reaching neu. tral territory indicated unmistak' ably what is expected of Laval but said his renovated cabinet was not yet satisfactory to the Nazis, inasmuch as 1t does not include Jacques Doriot, Jacques Benoist- Mechin and Marcel Deat, arch-colla- borationiStS.
 When Laval assigns them im- portant posts, German newspapers said, it will indicate that he is ready "to proceed with drastic measures"
 Tn this connection, the London Daily Express reported from the French frontier that Doriot had been taken to Paris hospital with four broken ribs and injuries that may cause him to lose his left eye. He met French patriots swinging bludgeons as he left a meeting of his Fascist popular party with a bodyguard.

The All-India Congress, domi-

any invasion with "non-violent
non-co-operation."
The full congress working COM
mittee's resolution said:
In case invasion takes place it
must be resisted. Such resistance
can only take the form of nom
violent, nom -co-operation as the
British government prevented or
ganization of national defenses by
the people in any other way.
I'VE may not bend the knee to an

We may not look to him for favors

The resolution said this in refer

should remain untapped while India
develops into a battle ground be-

District 10 Get
500 Buses, Cars
Through R. F. {.
Loan Of So, 900, 900
Being Arranged at
Request of W.P.B.

Secretary of Commerce Jones
announced today that arrange
ments are being made through
the reconstruction Finance
Corp. to finance the purchase of
400 buses and 100 streetcars to
help meet the growing volume of
public transportation in Wash
ingtOn.
The arrangements, the announce
ment said, were made at the request
of the War Production Board. Cost
of the new facilities was set at
around $8,000,000.
Thought Adquate for '43
President Edward D. Merrill of
the Capital Transit Co., which will
contract for the vehicles, said he
expects the new purchase will meet
the needs of the city and surround
ing territory through 1943
He said he expects the first de-
liveries during the summer and
completion of the order by "the
middle of 1943," but that much
depends on priority and ALLEGATIONS
by the w. P. B.
Three hundred of the 400 buses
have been ordered, Mr.. Merrill said
and in addition delivery is expected
between now and June l of so buses
ordered last September. Sixty-seven
streetcars ordered under a previous
r. F. c. loan are yet to be delivered,
he added.
1,605 Vehicles in Use.
The company now is operating
in the neighborhood of l.605 We
hicles daily, Mr.. Merrill said.
The additions, the transit head
added, were needed to meet the in
creasing shift from private to public
transportation and the growing de-
mands of Washington's expanding
population. Expansion of facilities
was impossible, however, by normal
financing" he said, because that
source of funds-mainly local banks
had been used to capacity.
