Italians Claim 10 Amer jeans Downed-Held
 Prisoners
(By Associated Press)

Allied bombing fleets, roaring across the Alps and the Mediter- ranean in a two-way assault, gave Italy another one-two air punch yesterday, blasting the Naples waterfront by daylight and pound- ing Turin after dark, despite five-mile layer of clouds over the continent.
 This was the second smash at Naples in eight days and it em- phasized anew Prime Minister Churchill's warning that Italy would be placed under a shatter- ing attack from the air.
 An Italian communique acknow- ledged heavy damage to Naples and said the casualties were 57 dead and 138 injured
 The Italians said that 10 Am erican fliers, the crew of one bomb- CT downed, were taken prisoner, although neither the Rome nor Cairo dispatches identified tn e raiders nationality. The size of the crew indicated that Naples was again hit by Liberator bombers of the U. s. Army.
 In all, the Italians claimed, five of the Naples raiders were downed, two of them by anti-aircraft fire.
 The British said the raid start ed fires along the entire water front and hits were scored on merchant vessels in the harbor.

DON RIVER FIGHT ON
 IN RUSSIA
Germans Launch Repeated Counter -AttaCks-
 UnsuCeessuI

MOSCOW, Dec 12-The third battle in the elbow of the Don River west of Stalingrad appeared to be under way today. The Axis is launching repeated attacks on the east bank of the river but advices from the front said the Russians are repulsing all as- Saults.
 The Red Army declared that its own assault is continuing in both, the sectors of Stalingrad and the Central Front, including a point west of Rzhev where the Soviets forced a water crossing and cap tured enemy frontline trenches.
 The Don Elbow; which German troops occupied last August, was recaptured by Soviet forces in sweeping rushes which got under way November l9.
 The main German object now appears to be to strike back in this sector to relieve the garrison which the Russians pounded in the campaign marked by swift turns and surprising maneuvers.
 The Russians pushed south from Serafimovich and turned east to- ward Stalingrad The Germans re- piled by attacking westward from Stalingrad, although they continued to hold the siege before the city against vicious assaults by the Red Army troops within the fac- tory area on the southern fringes of the city.
 Despite repeated counter attacks by the Germans in the Don River bend, the Russians are said to have held the Nazis to the east bank of the stream.

AXIS AFRICA ARMIES ARE
 REINFORCED
Our Air Power Is Growing, However, in Medi-
 terrdnedn

LONDON, Dec 12. - Confronted with a steadily reinforced Axis army of 28,000 the Allies are facing a hard and bloody struggle in the battle of Tunisia
 But the first cautious probing of the enemy's newly-established line at Fl Aghelia in Libya has raised the possibility that Rommel may not make a stand there.
 The Germans and Italians are pouring air-borne achievements into Tunisia to bolster their forces there which already are holding an advantage in occupying a well-for- tified and compact area.
 Bitter Struggle
 Dispatches from the North Africa front showed plainly that the Allies had a bitter struggle in front of them before they would win Tunis and Bizerte.
 Offsetting this Axis advantage somewhat, however. was the growing Allied air might in Tunisia and the entire Mediterranean area, as was emphasized in the one-two punches delivered yesterday in new devastat- ing raids by American bombers. as we'll as another attack by home based British bombers. The Royal Air Force dealt another air blow at Turin.
 Libya Picture
 The picture was balanced more, too, by the British announcement that in the battle of Libya, "devel- opments are proceeding according to plans withut interference by the enemy"
 Some quarters in London suggest ed that this might mean Rommel has been outmaneuyered at El Aghelia, while others took the more cautious view and conjectured that he might have left just a screen of token forces along the 40 miles of defense there while withdraw ing the remaining bulk of his forces to Tripoli.
