PARATROOPS TO

Allies Believed Rushing in Crack Troops to Take
 Bizerte
BY C. R. CUNNINGHAM

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Allied Headquarters in French North Africa. Nov. l4.-(UP)-The Allies today were believed rushing parachute troops to Tunisia to wipe out Axis-borne forces fighting with the French for control of Bizerte and Tunis.
 These Axis forces were preparing the way for an Axis invasion ar mada, said to be on its way across the Mediterranean. Big Junkers transport planes had brought l2 to i5 ton light tanks to the Germans. who already had seized control of the air fields at Bizerte and Tanis.
 Allied reconnaissance flyers saw heavy ground fighting going on, ma chine guns, artillery and anti-air- craft guns firing. Obviously. the French at Bizerte, a formidable naval base and one of the best ports on the Mediterranean, and at Tunis, capital of Tunisia, were putting up stiff resistance.
 American and British parachutists some of the toughest fighting men in the world. armed with the most modern weapons, would help the French clear out the Axis air. borne troops and tanks until Gen. K. A. N Anderson's powerful British and American army driving from the west could arrive and ensure Allied control of I'unisia.
 Anderson's force, including the crack British first army of prob ably i50,000 men. was probably on the Tunisian border. although no report has been received here since he passed through Bone 50 miles from the border.
 He was advancing al great speed under an umbrella Of planes more than able to cope with anything the Axis yet had put into the air.
 The Germans, nevertheless, deS- perately tried to stop Anderson E drive with their planes. Eleven were shot down by the Royal Air Force

Boston, Nov. l4 - (U.PD - Hopes for a quick peace in the American labor movement faded today after a warning by President Philip Mur- ray Of the Congress of Industrial Organizations that forthcoming peace talks would not be successful If the AFL continues its "age-oid habits"
 Murray told the closing session Of the Congress Of Industrial Organ. izations convention yesterday that numerous jurisdictiOnal disputes stood in the way of cIo-AFL agree nientg.
 Speaking Of international unity. Murray related that the AFL re- gently told British Labor Leader Sir Walter Citrine that 1t would dlsaf- filiate with the British labor move- ment if the British entered into di- rect agreement with the cIO.
 That was the attitude Of the fed- eTation only a few weeks ago." Mur- ray said. and he added that there was no evidence Of a clamor for unity then"
 Murray declared the AFL wanted cJo cooperation on AFL terms and added:
 If that Is the kind of peace the AFL is taking about. then better for the country there never Dc any peace conference
 T warn the AFL" Murray said. That if 1t is it's purpose to hew to its age old habits. then no success can attend a peace conference"

2 Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters, Somewhere in Australia. Nov. IA (UP)-Two Japanese light cruisers suffered direct bomb hits and a destroyer and an 9,000-ton troop transport were believed damaged by "yery near misses" when American flying fortresses for the third sue cessive day attacked the enemy's Euin- Faisi naval base in the north- ern Solomons, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur announced today.
 While some of MacArthur's air strength was diverted to support Vice Adm. William F. Halsey's de- fense Of American-held territory in the southern Solomons. Australian troops in New Guinea pushed two and ope-half miles closer to the Japanese coastal stronghold at Bura.
 Again employing encirclement tactics, the Aussies surrounded an enemy force near the village if Ili- mow, about 42 miles southwest of Buna ill the jungles around Gorari. from which the Australians ad- yanced after wiping out Japanese resistance, the bodies of five Japa- nese officers and more than 500 men already have been found, Mac Arthur reported.

FOOD, SUPPLIES
 MADE AVAILABLE
U. s. Moves to Put North Africa in Shape to Fight
 Axis Armies

Washington, Nov. i4-tUP)-The first move toward furnishing food and arms to liberated peoples so they can join in fighting the Axis had been made today with exten- sion Of lend-iease aid to North Af- rica.
 President Roosevelt initiated the program last night. A White House announcement made it clear that the same assistance would be given all territories occupied by United States forces.
 White House Secretary Stephen Early announced that the President had directed Lend-Lease Adminis- trator Edward R. Stettinius to make the supplies and material available to North Africa as soon as possible. Early then quoted the President:
 No one will go hungry or with out other means Of livelihood in any territory occupied by the uni- ted Nations. if 1t Is humanly with in our power to make the necess sary supplies available to them. Weapons also will be supplied to the peoples of these territories to hasten the defeat of our common enemies"
 Other sources indicated that from now on lend -iease aid will be used increasingly as part of the political and economic warfare accompany Ing actual combat It sill offer strong temptations to the peoples of France, Norway, the Low coun- tries and even Italy, who have gone hungry and ragged under Axis rule.
 Lieut.. Gen. Dwight Q. Eisenhower commander Of American Forces in Africa, will supervise distribution of the Lend-Lease supplies in North Africa.
 "Arms will also be supplied to the armies. ilaYies, air forces and citt- zens Of these areas to carry on the fight against our common enemies, Early said. He added that this could be interpreted as meaning the United States will arm peoples armies in occupied territories.
 It was assumed that eventually . locAs French government would bf organized e the receiving agency

DARLAN STATUS

Political Set-Up in North Africa Provides COntra-
 dictOry Positions
By WILLIAM B. DICKINSON Limited Press Staff COrrespondentl

EECSo DkAh AObECCVODuEttAt
 London, Nov. l4-(UP)-Authen- tic reports concerning Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower political of- fensive in French North Africa were eagerly awaited today as advices from Nazi-controlled Vichy sources and from American correspondents stationed at Eisenhower headquar- ters, indicated that the results may approach those of the military of- fensive in importance.
 Fighting French quarters here had been alarmed by the categor- ical statement of the Vichy doni- mated Havas News agency that AL giers radio had broadcast a procla- nation in which Admira! Jean Francis Darlan, erstwhile command er-chief of the Vichy defense forces and previously considered a collab- said he was resuming re- sponsibility for French interests in Africa, with the approval of the authorities with whom I intend to guarantee the defense Of North Africa"
 But they were encouraged to skep- ticism when TO confirmation came from Allied quarters, particularly from American correspondents in North Africa. Then. hours after Hayas had given the Darlan proc lamation wide circulation. this dis patch arrived from United Press Stan Correspondent c. R. Cunning ham at Eisenhower's headquarters
 Those here at headquarters anX- iously are awaiting any word from the French fleet. As far as Darian is concerned, however. the Allies are not pinning any hopes on him. In the Allied book Darlan is an oppor- tunist seeking to make the best pos- sible spot for himself. As long as he makes any offers. the Allies quickly accept them. In the opinion of AL lied naval quarters, the French fleet will come to our side rot for any particular liking for us but from particular dislike for the Axis"
 Cunningham'S dispatch seemed to confer a new status upon Darlan, differing slightly from those pre-
