AMERICANS MOP UP IN AFRICA
Little Resistance Through out French North Africa;
 Armistice We'll Liked
BY C. R. CUNNINGHAM Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Allied Headquarters in North Africa, Nov. l2 Delayed) -(U. p - American land forces in North Africa consolidated their po- sitions today and confined their op- erations to mopping up scattered pockets of resistance while the weight of the Allied offensive swung eastward to Tunisia.
 There was official silence on the drive into Tunisia, where, according to latest reports. the Axis was at- tempting to infiltrate as rapidly as possible.
 Little could be learned of the pro- gress of the "big push, but this cor respondent was permitted to say that it was purely his personal im- pression that Allied air forces were attempting, very strongly. to make air counter attacks on enemy mill- tary positions in and around Tunis where German military units were landing in force.
 The only news on Tlnisia released here was message sent by Lieuten- ant General Dwight D, Eisenhower commander of the Allied ground forces, to the commander -in-chiet of the British Island of Malta. He congratulated the Maltese British on the attack made yesterday by Malta -based planes on Axis posi- tions in Tunisia, in which 38 planes were destroyed or damaged.
 Allied forces were occupying French North Africa with a mini mum of friction with the civilian authorities. Soldiers had been or dered to obey the local officials in regard to their personal conduct,
 Where resistance continued, 1t was being offered by groups who had not yet been informed Of Admiral Jean Francois Darlan's order that resistance be ended in all of French North Africa.
 Communique No 6 issued by the Allied North African headquarters said, resistance by the French armed forces has ceased everywhere in French North Africa with the exception of q few isolated localities,
 Tn many places the local popula' ton and U. 8. troops joined n arm lstiee day ceremonies,
 "The unloading of troops and snp' plies is progressing with the assist anee of French dock workers,
 .Our positions on the west coast are being consolidated,
 "The commander, -ehlef has in- structed all forces 10 aequaint them' selves and conform to local laws and customs"
 The overall picture In North Africa was now one of political sig nifeanee, with many involved tan- gles to be unFayeled, The emphasis however, was on the eastward move ment with the object Of cleaning lp teh entire Mediterranean locale, Eisenhower is committed to that lob and will accomplish it as soon as t is feasible,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-11-13

called the most terribly efficient land fighting machines in the world are with the American invasion forces in French Africa. And pre- sumably they are leading the American column reported racing southeast into Italian Libya aginst the Axis army's rear.
 CAN FIRE TO REAR
 The General Sherman is at least two tons heavier than the 28-ton General Grant and General Lee tanks, which have been used in much greater numbers in the Egyptian desert fighting. But U. s. Army Ordnance officers here de- clare that in addition to its extra armor, the Sherman can outrun the two older types of tanks and the speed Of the latter is better than 90 miles an hour.
 Biggest advantage the General Sherman has over the General Grants and General Lees is the revolving turret which permits its high velocity cannon to swing with all-round traverse. The can- non on the General Grants are mounted on the right side with a traverse of only 30 degrees.
 The General Grants. when their motors became disabled in battle. were virtually helpless from the rear. No German tank would dare ar,~-nanh a Ganaral C1,arVaon from behind.
 The high velocity 77-mm. can- non on the General sherman and General Grant compares with the punch of the low velocity 77-mm. cannon on the German Mary W and the Hmm. cannon on the Mark V like a punch in the belly by Joe Louis compares with a slap in the face from two year old child" according to an ordnance officer here.
 Tanks are coming of produc- ton lines at the rate of more than i,500 a month this summer when manufacturers were ordered to switch from the Ma medium de- sign to the Ma medium. The sWitch-oyer-a modern production miracle-was accomplished without the less of a half hour on the production lines.
 When the last M-S rolled down the production line, an M-4 was right behind 1t.
 M-4 PRODUCED FASTER
 The welded and cast hulls of the M-4's greatly speeded up pro- duction. The M-3's, as all foreign made tanks still are made today, were riyeted. Reports spread that the riyets sheared of in battle and riceoeheted around the inside of
