 Art While MattadCr

His father was premier of
 Portugal under the last mon-
 archy, and, when King Manuel
 was deposed, the family fled to
 France, but Roberto de Vascon-
 cellos, Viconde da Barca, the son,
 aged 12, went to Spain, where
 his godfather, grandee and 6
 famous amateur bull fighter,
 taught the boy the art of the
 lnatador in the Portuguese fashion,
 in which the bull is fought from
 the back of horse.
 Thus, Roberto became mas
 ter horsernan as well as a leading
 bull fighter of Spain and Portugal.
 When he was nineteen he was so
 badly gored in the stomach he
 had to retire, but the accident made him, within four years, the greatest torseman in Europe.
 Now, Roberto is the ace horse trainer and star high school and dressage horseman of the Ringing Bros. and Barnunn 6S Bailey Circus, coming to Waterbury, Saturday, July {, and he and his famous mount, Belnonte, in an impressive equestrian setting enhanced with John Murray Anderson production, will thrill big top audiences from the center ring. Some two hundred horsemen and girl riders, with an ensemble of Argentine girl dancers, participate in th's smashing novelty display.
 The l942 edition of the Ringing Bros. and Barnunl & Bailey Circus, further restyled by Norman Bel- Geddes. famous designer and cre- ator of the Futurama at the New York Worlds Faiar, presents2 800 internationally renowned artists and an amazing array of new and sensational innovations on its irn- presstve program. The perform aces, featuring 8 new, novel and spectacle, radiant in color and beauty, and created by MT. GeddeS at Q production cost Of over $l00,00O, will begin at 2:i5 and 8:l5 p. 111,, in the worlds largest big top, this year bril- liant blue, with red, white and blue side walls.
 The doors will open at 1 and 2 p. in., for public inspection of the huge menagerie, again rede- signed, where Mir. and Mrs. Gar. gantua the Great and more than D thousand other rare animals will be displayed in distinctive manner against backgrounds picturing their habitats.
 The new horse fair tent, dis. playing hundreds of blue biooded performing horses, is this year red in hue, with side walls also h the red, white and blue striped motif.

Allies Stand
Firm Along
Road 10 Tunis
Both Sides Strike
Heovy Blows in
Try for 40.
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 8 Allied
forces we're reported to be hold
ing solidly today on the heights
dominating Tebourba while
tanks battled for the third Sue
cessive. day in no mans land
south of the Tunisian town, key
to the approaches of Bizerte and
Tunis.
Both sides were striking heav-
lily by air, trying for the decis-
i've battle punch and to choke
off supplies and reinforcements
which might tip the balance.
The Allies, however, gained a
major advantage in the battle
of supplies.
This was the acquisition of
Dakar as a United Nations port
by an agreement between Pierre
Boisson, governor general OF
French West Africa, who has
placed himself under Admiral
Jean Darlan, and Lieut.. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, COM
mander- in chief in North Africa.
Eisenhower announced that the
United Nations navies are free
now 10 tlsh thA p0r< ind Allied
planes may use its airfields.
Thus, In q struggle in which
both sides must rely heavily on
air and sea transport of sup
plies and men, the Allies have
cut thousands of miles from
their previo Gus routes to
the North African fronts and are
believed virtually to have elm
mated the U-boat menace in the
South Atlantic.
While Britain's Eighth Army
still paused before Ell 'Agheila,
in Libya, Allied planes struck
again by night Sunday against
Bizerte and followed up yester-
day with bomb and cannon
raids on La Goulette, nine miles
OF the east, and the enemy-held
port of Sfax in central Tunisia.
Axis air attacks were aimed
at the Allies Algerian port OF
Philippeville where, the Italian
communique said, b o m b er s
scored direct hits on ships,
docks and supply warehouses
and started big fires.

Of Hitler and Duce

Addressing the Falange,
SPANS state party, in his first
public speech since the Allied
occupation of French Africa ter
ritory, the German occupation
of all France and partial Spanish
mobilization, Franco asserted:
Zone outcome of the last war
was a barbarian communist dis
tatorship established in Russia.
First Mussolini, and later
Hitler combatted it and estab-
lished a new order. -
FAITH, REVOLT
These new systems are not
Irregularities of a race or ma

and revolt against the old lib
eral world we knew In our
youth"
"A new era Is being initiated
by the fighting in the east, "
Franco went on. Spain has to
work hard in order to prepare
for the future. We must be pre-
pared. Life must be secure.
I'VE face q hard life but 4
Spanish life. Our army and our
youth will face all sacrifices.
With fortitude we will gladly
die for Spain. - .t..
I'VE have fought liberalism

The audience burst into the

Franco. Before his appearance in
the palace of the Falange ma

bers of his government watched
a military display.
IMPLIES DISUNTTY
Implying that considerable
disunity still existed in Spain,
Franco told his audience I'VE
must prove old political

our guard because the enemy
could destroy our new and
