Following the occupation of Bizerte,
the initiative now is in the hands
of the Germans and Italians in
Tunisia," one German broadcast
said.
British parachutists were taken to
their Tunisian airdrome objectives
in American transport planes es-
corted by fighters. Reuters said some
of the parachutists landed CLOSE to
an important key town in Tunisia, :"
but none of the reports identified the
positions seized.
American parachutists-the men
who helped take the Algerian naval
base at Oran-were said to have
landed in swift operation at an
Algerian airfield near the Tunisian
border.
The Paris radio described the
Nazi-held Bizerte naval base as

In one broadcast it said Berlin
military circles declared that no
actual fighting had occurred be-
tween Axis and British American
forces moving into the French pro-
tectorate. In another it reported a
clash between Allied troops and
French colonials in South Tunisia.
Allied sources were silent on the
progress of the advance into Tunisia

Renewed Nazi Drive
At Sta|ingrad Gains
Only a Few Yards
Attempts to Take Over
Northern Plant District
Costly to Invaders
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY,
Associated Press War Correspondent

MOSCOW, Nov. 18.-At the end
of the first week of renewed Of
fensive thrusts into siege-torn
Stalingrad, the Germans today
had gained only a few yards in
persistent and costly efforts to
occupy the northern factory dis
trict for winter quarters.
The Army newspaper Red Star
said the Nazis had been conoen-
trating their attack on sector less
than 400 yards wide, trying vainly
to break through to the Volga.
Although ice foes in the river have
complicated the Russians supply
problem temporarily, the defenders
have been holding their lines gen.
orally and taking a heavy toll of
Nazi lives and equipment, it was
reported.
The Germans have been held
largely on the defensive for the last
week in the Caucasus where the
Russians have been harassing them
with counterattacks in the Nalchik
area and with scouting raids around
Taupse, battle dispatches said.
Minor Changes In Lines.
Generally the broad picture of a
stalemate costly to the stalled Axis
armies holds from day to day with
the minor changes in the lines tend
ing to offset one another.
Paying with thousand casualties,
the Germans in series of attacks
advanced very slightly in a factory
sector of Stalingrad, the midnight
Soviet communique said.
Far to the north the Nazis were
reported striking repeatedly and
recklessly in an effort to retake a
village recently captured by the
Russians in a thrust to relieve siege
pressure on Leningrad. Six fierce
charges were broken up but the
enemy returned again and succeeded
in breaking into the outskirts o1
the village where they were engaged
in bloody street fighting, the com.
munique said.

Approximately $4,000 Federal

Approximately $4,000 Federal
employees throughout the country

Roosevelt's canceling occupation

workers, informed sources said
today.
Several Federal agency chiefs i'm
mediately sought Qualification of the
order, which apparently came with
out previous notice Some privately
expressed alarm over the number of
men they might lose as a result of
the elimination of Federal employe
deferments.
VINO Plan Thrown Out.
One immediate effect of the order
was to throw out the plan worked
out by the War Manpower Commits
sion to provide for deferment of
Federal employes-a plan which fol-
lowed demands on Capitol Hill for a
reduction of the number of draft
eligibles in Federal Offices granted
deferment because OF their jobs.
The $4,000 estimate was said to be
based on the number of men for
whom Federal chiefs requested oc-
cupational deferment under the
plan, which has been in effect since
October.
Many of those affected by the
order are civilian employees working
on Army and Navy jobs. The Presi-
dent made it clear yesterday that
civilian employees of the War and
Navy Departments are included in
the order.
Hits Navy Yard Personnel.
The Navy Department announced
today that it was looking into the
order and would decide in the next
48 hours how to handle its man.
power problems in the light of the
order. Many Federal employees de-
ferred locally are Navy Yard en-
ployes.
A representative of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation said he did
not yet know how the order would
affect his agency, but that if it
was all-embracing it would take in
most of the special agents in the
field, since the FBI is essentially
a young mans organization" He
said many G-men have resigned
their Reserve commissions to stay
with the agency.
Draft boards were instructed by
national headquarters of selective
service some time ago to defer all
FBI employees for whom that agency
requested deferments.
FBI Checks on Order.
The FBI official, who said the
agency was now checking on how
the order affected them, pointed
out that when Senator Tydings,
Democrat, Of Maryland made his
report on deferred Government
eligibles, he cited the FBI as one
agency which had not abused the
draft. Senator Tydings reported in

Opponents of a bill to abolish
State poll taxes as voting quail
f1cation decided at an informal
caucus today to get their views
before the country in a formal
speech in the Senate by one of
their number as soon as possible.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas said that as soon as parlia-
mentary maneuvering could be dis
pensed with, the Southern op-
ponents of the measure wanted to
make their views clear to offset
charges that they were carrying on
a petty filibuster.
Some fundamental issues are in
volved in this fight" Senator Con-
nally told reporters. "If the coun-
try knew what they were, I think
we would be supported in our
stand"
The Southerners, using every
parliamentary device, have pre-
vented for five legislative sessions

jority Leader Barkley to take up the
controversial bill
Senator Connally's chief of staff,
Senator Russell, Democrat, of Geor-
gia, reiterated that he would fight
this new invasion of the Southern
States from Washington" as long as
he could stand and see." Chief argu-
ment of the bills opponents is the
contention that Congress lacks power
to change long-established voter
qualifications set up by individual
States under a constitutional privi-
lege.
Proponents of the legislation argue
that the poll tax is undemocratic In
requiring citizen to pay fee before
he is entitled to vote.
