that this was a major factor in

The first Allied air smashes,
he said, included "a new devel-
opment and a rather good one'
in which Boston bombers car
peted target areas with q pat

The Allied air forces also
played an important role in
smashing Rommels supply con-

can coast - but il became ap-
parent quickly that something
had gone wrong with the Nazi
fuehrer's scheme to take over
the Toulon fleet, three battle
ships and q powerful fotilla Of
cruisers, destroyers and light
craft.
TOULON NOT OCCUPIED
Broadcasts from the French
Radio at Vichy and dispatches
transmitted by Havas, official
French news agency, announc-
ed:
"Inasmuch as French naval
chiefs at Toulon have pledged
themselves to resist all aggres-
sion, German authorities have
decided that Toulon shall be q
separate region. Toulon will not
be occupied, and French war
ships will be safeguarded."
Since virtually the only safe
guard for the Ion gidle fleet ap-
peared to be its option to steam
across the Mediterranean to join
the Allies if Germans moved in
to Toulon, it seemed very likely
that only such threat had kept
the Nazis out.
Havas, now German control
led added that Hitler, himself,
decided that the Germans should
not move into this one bit of
France - but even this dispatch
despaired of any effort to ex-
plain the Fuehrer's magnanimity
over this point.
Berlin broadcasts quoted Ger
man dispatches from Vichy say
ing the French Radio had ap-
pealed for all French merchant
ships to call Immediately at the
nearest Mediterranean port OF
France. It gave no indication
what response the appeal had
brought. French sailors, OF
course, know that Vichy broad
casts now are German.

simultaneously on New GUM
ca another force of Allied
jungle fighters wiped out enemy
troops surrounded south OF
Gorari. No details were given,
nor was there any indication OF
the number of enemy casualties.
The aerial warfare again
reached beyond the South Pa
cific to the far North Aleutians
and resulted in the shooting
down or destruction of 16 enemy
planes, and possible damage to
warships, cargo vessels and
shore installations.
At Kiska, there has been viz
tually no action for several
weeks, army bombers attacked
and damaged two Japanese car
60 vessels. One of the planes
was damaged by anti-aircraft
fire but returned to its base.
BLAST ALEUTIANS
Army planes also roared down
on Holtz Bay on Attu Island
near the end of the Aleutians
Archipelago and destroyed sew
en- float-equipped japanese
fighting planes. They encounter
ed no opposition.
Twice Allied reconnaissance
units in the South Pacific found
and attacked destroyers. But in
neither case was it possible to
observe results. One flight In
the New Guinea area bombed
q destroyer off Lac and anoth-
er unit came upon five destroy
ers eastward of the New Georgia
Islands.
A third aerial attack on sur
face craft took bombers from
the high command into action
against shipping off the BUM
Faisi area in Portuguese Timor.
Those craft apparently were
aiding in the general Solomons
action, possibly carrying sup
plies. Shore installations there
also were bombed.
In the Solomons, pilots Of two
Grammar wildcats" took their
Navy fighting planes through q
formation Of Is japanese
"Zeroes" $1,000 feet over Quad
alcanal. Their daring attack
brought down one Of the enemy
planes.
Also on Guadalcanal, Army
planes joined in the battle with
japanese invaders, and q re-
check by the Navy Of IN attack
on an enemy cruiser-destroyer
formation last Saturday showed
that eight "Zeros" and eight BIZ
planes all equipped with floats
had been destroyed. Originally
only q total Of IL planes were
reported shot down In that en-
gagement.

French circles here who usually
have reliable information said
they still believed that some
ships steamed away several days
ago.
Although the position Of the
fleet was the most vital question
today, the situation revolving
about Marshal Petain and men,
bers Of his government was also
Of the greatest importance.
GREAT CONFUSION
The greatest confusion was re-
ported in Vichy. The German
correspondent of the Hamburger
Fremdenblatt said frankly that
many French officials were hav-
ing difficulty in making up their
minds whether to side with Am
erica and England or accept the
Germans.
Indicative of the confusion, q
broadcast by Marshal Petain was
scheduled at IL q. m. and then
cancelled. Whether he would
speak today no one with sources
OF information in Vichy profess
ed to know.
Reports from the Spanish
French frontier said some off,
Gals who are against further
collaboration with the Germans

two years.
In every cabin and in every

their small arms and loading

In the words Of the commo-
dore who was in command, this
convoy was quite without incl
dent"
The convoy, which was only
part of the force bearing down
on Africa, consisted of trans
ports and cargo ships and other
auxiliary vessels.
The first alarm came in the
early afternoon of the first day
in the Mediterranean.
The piercing signal which
rang through the ship on the
speaker system sent gunners to
their posts as it had done at
least once daily in practise
alerts. Then the voice on the
speaker said: This is no prac-
