HITLER SAYS

Axis Communique Lists Bombings of Conveys
 in Mediterranean
(By Associated Press)

Adolf Hitlers command reports today that Axis planes are joining in the battle of Northwest Africa.
 His communique said that Nazis have bombed American-held AL giers and have scored hits on two aircraft carriers, two cruisers, two destroyers and big merchant ship off the Algerian coast.
 The Nazi communique also as- serted that the 85,000-ton British passenger liner, Queen Elizabeth, sister ship of the Queen Mary, has been torpedoed in the North Atlantic.
 All these claims lacked confir- nation from any Allied source.
 The communique said that two transports totaling l6,000 tons, have been sunk near Bougie, Allied occupied port no miles east of Algiers.
 It declared continuous waves" of Axis planes are attacking the Allied landing parties and have damaged twelve warships and mer- chant ships.

NAzI TROOPS ARE BETWEEN

AnqIo American Coniin. gents Have Sefup for
 Squeeze Play

CAIRO, Egypt Nov. 12. - The British announced today that the mass of Field Marshal Erwin Rom mers tattered army has reached a point between Bardia and Gam but, we'll within Libya.
 Yesterday his transports were being attacked along a coastal road by Allied fighter planes, fighter -bombers and other war planes.
 At the same time, other dispatch es said that the British Eighth Army has finished clearing Egyp- tian territory of the enemy and the only soldiers remaining are on their way east as prisoners.
 Maxi Stand Falls
 This announcement came shortly after a clash at Buobuo, just in- side Egypt, where a Nazi suicide reargard tried to hold out yester- day.
 This apparently leaves the Eighth Army free to move on toward Lib va and Tripoli, toward which Am erican troops are racing with only Tunisia in their path, Thus Rom mel's depleted forces, and the fresh Hitler air-borne forces in Tunisia would be caught between two pow erful Allied contingents.
 Meanwhile, long-range, two engined Royal Air Force fighters attacked Elaouna airfield at Tunis, capital of the French protectorate where Nazi air forces have landed, setting afire 19 planes which were definitely identified as German, and scuttling 19 others.
 Came From Malta
 The German announcement of the attack said it was carried out yesterday, apparently launche d from the island of Malta, 200 miles off the Tunisian coast.
 The RAF smash was made as American troops speeded toward the Tunisian border on their way to crush any attempt to take over the protectorate.

British bombers are reported to have struck the first blow in the battle of Tunisia, attacking the airdrome near Tunis where the Axis air-borne troops and planes are said to be massing as Ameri- can soldiers raced to the Tunisian frontier from the west.
 At least 19 Axis aircraft were set on fire and many were dam aged" the British reported Vichy Denied Landing
 The Vichy radio had previously denied that Axis aerial forces had landed in Tunisia as was reported by the Allied command.
 Tunisia, French protectorate and one-time pirate stronghold of the Mediterranean. is the buffer state between American-occupie Algeria and Italian Libya.
 Allied reports said the Germans have sent about a thousand air men and -bombers into Tunisia to meet the Angio-American of fensive.
 Strategic Area
 Tunisia's strategic importance is emphasized by the fact that the Tunisia border lies only 90 miles from Tripoli, main Axis base in Libya.

War Picture
 Is Suddenly
 Changed Now
Hitler 5 Invasion of France, Next Moves Indicated
 by Churchill

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The realiza- tion that the American invasion of the Mediterranean area has changed the entire complexion of the war Europe was brought out in the House of Commons by Prime Min ister Winston Churchill who prom ised second front on the continent. Even as the Germans overran all of France, Churchill declared, "an attack will be made in due course across the channel or the North Sea"
 He referred to the German over running of France as a breaking of the armistice which the Vichy government has kept with such pitt full and perverted fidelity at the horrible cost of even sacrificing their ships and sailors, firing on American rescue ships.
 Double Crossed
 Now they have been struck down by their German taskmasters," he said. Here is a moment when all Frenchmen should sink their per- sonal views and rivalries and think as DeGaulle is thinking-only of the liberation of his native land.'
 Churchill also made the prediction that many things are going to happen within the next few days.
 T would be merely presuming if attempted to give a divested opinion on how the situation will develop in North Africa, France and Italy, except to say that we shall shortly have far greater facilities for the bombing of Italy" he added.
 Getting Ready
 Speaking .on the vasion of Northern Europe. he said that such an attack requires an immense de. gree of preparation, vast numbers O special landing gear and a great army trained division by division in amphibious warfare.

AIR POWER IS SHIFTED
 FROM RUSSIA
StaIingrad Front Compara- lively Quiet, Old Planes
 Are Used in Raid

MOSCOW, Nov. l2-Sharp re- duction of German air activity on the Stalingrad front is reported today in Soviet military dispatches.
 The communique noted that the Nazis are now using outdated planes and dropping only small bombs.
 This may indicate that they are shifting the first line air units to other fronts, perhaps to southern Europe.
 During the past "A hours. there have been barely 200 flights over the lines, an observer for Prayda said. This contrasts with previous daily average of from 1900 to 2,000 daily.
 The German raids were aimed at Russian communication lines.
 Damage inflicted on the towns and villages on the east bank Of the Volga River was small and no deaths were caused.
 Dispatches say that the German garrisons are clinging to precari- ous footholds on the outskirts of Stalingrad. They are reported to be placing metal nets at the win dows of occupied houses in pro- lection against the Russians hand grenades.
 Winter has frightened it's grip on the front and the Volga is already choked with floating ice and is whipped with bitter winds at sub zero temperatures.

FRENCH FLEET WILL TAKE ON
 ALL INVADERS
Curious Announcement Is Interpreted Sev-
 eral Ways
tBy Associated Press)

A cautiously -worded broadcast picked up at Bern from Vichy this afternoon said the Germans, by a decision of Hitler himself. will not occupy Toulon, the home of the French Fleet in the Mediter- ranean, because the navy com manders there have pledged them selves to resist "all aggressors."
 Although this indicated the Ger mans are satisfied the French will take care of Toulon themselves, if the Allies attack the base, the an- nouncement could also be inter preted to mean the French sailors are determined to fight the Ger mans if they attempt to enter.
 A broadcast from Berlin said Toulon has been proclaimed a camp retranche" area, set apart, but developments will tell whether the French commanders, now in Toulon, have entered an under standing with the Germans or are standing off. But at any rate, the broadcasts seem to confirm re- ports that at least considerable portion of the fleet is still at Tou- lon.

Why GuadaItanaI, ,Is Question; Answer Is
 Given To That Also
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-One of the capitals amateur etymologists threw the press corps into a dither the other evening by asking why Guadalcanal isn't called Guadal- canar. As matter of fact there's no good reason. When Alvaro Men, dona, the Spaniard, first discovered the Isles des Solomon" he christ ened the one in question "Guadal- canar."
 The islands were lost for 200 years until Philip Carteret rediscovered them in 1767. Subsequent French and British voyagers played around with the names. At one time the islands were called ''Terres des Ars- cides" Gand of Assassins) and for years they were known as New Georgia
 When the British took over in 1893 and signed treaties establishing ownership in 1899. it still was Guad- alcanar. Webster's continues to give the "a-r" spelling preference over the "a-l." The Encyclopedia Bri- tannica is neutral, spelling it one way part of the time and vice versa.
 But don't let it worry you. The Army, Navy and President Roose- welt call it "Guadalcanal. MT. Web- ster and the encyclopedias will be in line before this war is over
 I had hardly more than settled back in my taxi the other morning when the driver blurted out. Man, that's the sweetest music I ever heard. AS long as can hear music like that, I'll never turn on my radio.' I was already reaching for the door when I asked him just what the so-and-So he was talking about. He said: Man, can't you hear 1.-the whine of these four new tires"
 It was the same fellow who in- troduced me to one of the rationiTg boards sillier rulings. When casing and tubes are taken in for replace ment examination, the patches on the tubes are counted. If you have seven or more patches, okay - you get a new tube. If you have six or less, nix-you ride it out. T had 2l patches on one tube, but only four on another. I figured that didn't add up," the driver explained, 50 just fished out my patch can and slapped three more on the tube that was short. I figured who's gonna pull off 8 patch to- see Il there is hole under it. I was right.
