Italians Claim Raid on Our AirfieId al Bone,
 Algeria

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The enemy has acknowledged that the reinforce ed Allies have launched violent attacks before the Axis Tunis and Bizerte fortified zone in an area which will probably be the decisive battle-ground for Tunisia.
 This report from the Nazi-con- trolled Paris radio supported Amer ican reports that a climactic Allied push to sweep the enemy from his last stronghold in French North Africa already was under way under the sheltering wings of the British Air Force.
 The Paris broadcast admitted the infiltration of the Axis lines along with violent fighting in the Mejez el Bab region, tactically important communications hub outside of the Tunis Bizerte Notifications arc which Allied dispatches have re- ported already taken.
 Axis communiques, however, men, toned only limited local fighting on the two North African fronts-Tun- isia and Libya.
 The Italians reported raid on the Allied airfield at Bone, Algeria, where they said the runways and grounded planes were hit.
 The Germans claimed that 20 Allied planes were downed in an attempt to strike deep at the roots of the reinforcement supply bases of the enemy in North Africa.
 At the same time, an Italian dis patch reported that the Royal Air Force struck home in raids on the big Sicilian air base of Syracuse and at Dodencanese, Leros Island, causing damage at both places. Z

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The London Daily Mail quoted authoritative quarters today as saying that Hit Ter marched into Toulon because he was forced to acquire the new base to replace the bombed and immobilized Genoa as a supply base for Tunisia and Africa.
 The reported scuttling of the French Fleet as result of his ac- tion at the same time solved the naval problem, for Allied naval staffs have pointed out, as long as the Toulon fleet existed there was a threat that it might some day sail against the Allies.
 Therefore, the Allied navies have been forced into disposition of their warships which was often dis advantageous.
 Had Short Notice
 London sources report that the scuttling of the fleet was accom- .plished on very short notice.
 It was believed that the navy men aboard their vessels knew nothing of the coming of the Germans until about five hours be- fore their arrival to take over. Their action was quickly timed and carried out, but resulted in heavy loss of life. Many of the captains are said to have gone down with their ships.
 Gen. DeGaulle, Fighting French leader, is said to have broadcast a message of congratulation to his French compatriots on their brave action. Admiral Darlan in North Africa, however, stated that the
