Hard 70 Miles Ahead
In Tunisian Battle,
Churchill Warns
Core of Nuzi Resistance
And VilIoiny Unbroken,
Prime Minister Says

BRADFORD. England, Dec. S.
Prime Minister Churchill told an
audience in this North England in
dustrial center today that very hard
fighting" faces the Allies before they
will be able to kick the Axis out
Of the last 20 miles in Tunisia.
Reminding his hearers to be on
their guard against overconfidence
as a result of recent good fortune
for United Nations arms, he also
warned that "the hard core of Nazi
resistance and villiany is not yet
broken in upon" in Europe and that
the most tense part of the struggle
is only approaching.
Beaming and smiling as he strobe
through Bradford's factories, clad
in great blue overcoat and clinch-
ing his habitual cigar, the Prime
Minister repeatedly responded to
cries Of Good old Churchill" with
a two-f1nger "V" salute and then
addressed crowd from the steps
Of the town hall.
Redoubtable Blows Struck.
The Allies have just passed
through a great month"; he said,
in which "our gallant Russian allies
have struck redoubtable blows
against the common enemy. in which
our American allies and our kin far
of in the Pacific from Australia
and New Zealand also have seen
their efforts crowned with a con-
siderable measure of success"
I'VE have broken into North Africa
with our American Allies and now
have, in short time, advanced
from the Atlantic Ocean almost to
the center of the Mediterranean
a distance of nearly 900 miles"
But there still are 20 miles to
co. he added, land very hard fight
ing will take place before that small
distance is overcome and the vio-
lent military power of the enemy
there has been beaten down and
driven into the sea. I do not doubt
the result, but I cannot lead you
to suppose it will be easily achieved"
Abridged Text Of Address.
Following is an abridged text of
Mr.. Churchill's address:
I'VE have just passed through
the month of November, usually
month of fog and gloom, but, on
the whole, month I liked a good
deal better than some other months

Continued From First Page J

from various sources that the pres
ent National Defense Training
program in the District of Coaum-
b1a is inadequate. Local defense in
dustries and Government depart
ments, including the War and Navy,
are complaining that it does not
meet their needs, and it is not ade-
quately stated or equipped for the
up-grading of persons employed by
them for whom they desire addi-
tional instruction. The Washing
ton Navy Yard has stated the pro-
gram is training only 20 per cent of
the number of persons they desire,
and they have been urging for some
time that the number of trainees
be increased to meet the serious
shortage of skilled workers.
Two important local defense ac-
tivities. the Transcontinental and
Western Airlines, and the Signal
Corps of the United States Army,
have indicated that unless some
thing is done Immediately to pro-
vide adequate instruction and equip
ment for this program they will be
required to withdraw their trainees,
although no other facilities are
available for this vital work.
ut would seem, from my observa-
tions, that the program is limited
mainly because of its method of
administration. l find interested
agencies, such as the United States
Office of Education, District of
Columbia Employment Service and
other local bodies concur In this
opinion.
Apparently the present cumber-
some method of administering the
program. which requires it to con-
form to local school regulations, is
not applicable and will prevent it
from being flexible enough to meet
the very peculiar and ever increas-
ing demands made upon it by the
District of Columbia and the Metro
politan area. 1t will not meet the
defense needs until a separate and
distinct department is established to
control the war training. This would
entail its removal from the juris-
diction of the local Board of Edu-
cation.
Federal Funds Available.
'It has been indicated that this
board during the past two and one
half years has not taken full ad-
vantage of the Federal funds avail
able for this work and as a result
the defense training needs have not
been met and the war effort has
been seriously handicapped. 1t is
true that this program is only one
of the many duties thrust upon the
Board of Education and as result
the work has been considerably re-
stricted.
1T would seem advisable, there
fore, to establish separate depart
ment whose only duty was to ad-
minister this emergency program
which is sponsored by the United
States Office of Education and is

is out even If they cannot beat us

US out even If they cannot beat us
down.
Their hope is now to prolong the
struggle so, perhaps, differences will
arise between friends and allies and
so that, perhaps, the democracies
they despise and whom they under
rate will weary of the war.
All these are their hopes, so
say to you here in Bradford what
l said when I was last here nearly
80 years ago-'Let us 60 forward to-
gether and put these grave matters
to the proof"

entirely self-supporting. Since the
District auditor and purchasing
agent are handling the accounts of
the expenditures which are paid
from Federal funds, no additional
burdens would be thrust upon the
District Of Columbia by such a
| change.
Training facilities are available
outside the schools and ample Fed
| eral funds are obtainable to pro-
vide for them so that, If neces-
sary, the training could be carried
on independently of the local schools
and in this way release such facil-
tiles for full-time use by the schools.
Army Men Threaten to Leave.
Il shall appreciate it If you per-
sonally will consider the establish
ment of separate training depart
ment, which would be directly re-
sponsible to the Board of Com
| missioners and the United States
Office Of Education for the success
full carrying out of this much-need-
ed training program in the District
of Columbia"
Mr.. Wallace admitted that the
Army Signal Corps had come to
him last week threatening to with
draw their 100 enlisted men from
his class within so days if he did
not get more instructors immediate
ly. The supervisor said there were
,lxr Auo inc -, III Ctr,,o1
Corps classes instead OF the re-
quired Is. At present, however, he
sees no possibility of getting more
instructors unless he is permitted
to pay a wage commensurate with
the standards Of this profession.
The personnel oficer Of the Navy
Yard also came to him last week,
he said, asking that 200 women ord
nance workers a week, instead Of
the present IS week, be supplied
to the Navy Yard Immediately. Mr..
Wallace said that in this case he
has plenty Of equipment and hun
dreds of women on the waiting list.
| The same difficulty of instructors
exists. however, and he doubts that
he will be able to turn out six times
as many ordnance workers without
the aid OF much larger staff of
instructors.
The nearby airline companies also
are dissatisfied with the accomplish
ments of the defense training pro-
gram, he said. About month ago
they started class of SO automobile
mechanics, supposed to be trained
into competent aircraft mechanics
by Mr.. Wallace's school. Although
the second class was supposed to
follow this class Immediately, Mr..
Wallace continued, apparently the
airline people were not satisfied with
the training given the first group
and have not sent additional candi-
| dates.
Instructor Lacking.
The supervisor did not blame the
airline industries for their attitude.
he said, when he knew very we'll he
had been forced to use three in
structors already carrying full
schedules to train these aircraft
mechanics. He actually had no
trained aircraft mechanic as an in
structor, he explained, and had to
use a mechanical craftsman who
just happened to know about sheet
metal work and a patternmaker
with little aircraft experience
About s150,000 was spent for these
classes during the fiscal year end
ing last July, Mr.. Wallace estimated,
and this amount is expected to be
greatly expanded this year. He
emphasized that the Office of Edu-
cation is willing to allocate just as
much as the District needs and that
