1t was regarded as probable that
the Axis planes intercepted yester-

The Allied air forces, spreading
death and destruction amid the
columns of Marshal Rommels re-
treating army, already are operat-
ing from bases in Libya, the COM
munique said.
The 9th Army was bent on killing
or capturing every Axis soldier left
in North Africa.
While his troops cleaned up the
recaptured historic fortress of To-
bruk, Gen. Montgomery issued an
order of the day in which he said
that in three weeks the Axis Army
had been completely smashed"
The Axis panzer army of four
divisions and three Italian Army
corps of eight divisions "have
ceased to exist as effective fighting
formations" and 10000 prisoners,
including nine generals, have been
captured, Montgomery said.
I'VE have made a very good start
and today there are no German or
Italian soldiers on Egyptian terri
tory except as prisoners" Gen,
Montgomery declared. In three
weeks we have completely smashed
the German and Italian Army and
pushed the fleeing remnants out of
Egypt, having advanced ourselves
nearly 300 miles up to and beyond
the frontier"
Lists Axis Formations.
Gen. Montgomery listed the fol-
lowing Axis formations as smashed:
The panzer army composed of the
18th Armored Division, 21st Divis-
ion and the Goth and 164th Light
Divisions; the 10th Italian Army
Corps made up of the Brescia, Pavia
and Folgore Divisions; goth italian
Army Corps with the Ariete and Lit
torio Armored Divisions and the
Trieste Division and the 21st italian
Corps made up of the Trento and
Bologna Divisions.

anti-tank guns, transport, aircraft
etc., destroyed or captured is SC
great the enemy is completely
crippled" he said.
II feel our great victory has been
brought about by the good fighting
qualities of the soldiers of the en-
pire rather than by anything may
have been able to do myself.
Secondly, know you will all real
ize how greatly we were helped in
our task by the Allied air forces
We could not have done it without
their splendid help and co-opera-
ton. I have thanked the Allied air
forces warmly on your behalf.
Our task is not finished yet.
THE Germans are out of Egypt
but there still are some left in North
Africa.
There is good hunting to be had
farther to the west in Libya and
our leading troops are now in Libya
ready to begin.
On with the task and good hunt
ing to you all. AS in all pursuits
some have to remain behind to start
with, but we shall all be in it before
we finish"

White Cross Lauded
 By Joseph E. Talbot
Congressman Advocates Hospital Plan Be Adopted
 Universally; Fifth Anniversary Tomorrow

Congratulations began pouring into the office of the White Cross, non-profit Connecticut Plan for Hospital Care, today as that or ganization neared the anniversary of its founding five years ago, on April 1.
 Chase Going Woodhouse, secre- tary of state. wrote Hartford, T would wish that your next flvG years will be as socially useful and valuable as have been your first five. I have been a member of this plan through Connecticut College for some years.
 While I have had no occasion for using it myself, can speak from first hand knowledge of the admir- able way in which 1t has been ad- ministered, and of the great use it has been to many people of my ac- Quaintance."
 Meanwhile, in New Haven, Dr. Creighton Barker, secretary of the Connecticut State Medical society, said in a radio program over Sta ton IWCC that "the most impor- tant achievement of the plan dur ing its first five years has been its ability to get people to the hospital as soon as they need care :. Prompt care usually means quick cure It means a great deal to doctors to know that their patients are protected in this way, because 1t gives them a chance to use all their training and the many facil- itieS of modern hospital and medi- cal science to restore them to health. Connecticut is fortunate in having the Plan for Hospital Care operating so successfully with in its borders"
 Basil MacLean, president of the American Hospital association, wired from his Rochester headquar- ters, Congratulations on success during first five years as non-profit agency of public health and com munity welfare. The facilities and service made available by you to people of Connecticut is even more valuable and more encessary in war time. Best wishes for the future"
 From washington came congrat- ulations from three Connecticut representative there. Congressman xe @s5y D. Downs of the Fourth District, wrote, "This organization starts Its sixth year with a splended

Green Mountain Boys to Help Nation With Sugar
 This Time

St. Johnsbury, vt. CUP)-The Green Mountain Boys are out to help the nation win another war but this time with sugar instead of shot.
 Not since robust Ethan Allen and his sharpshoting pioneers captured Fort Ticonderoga during the Amer tcan Revolution have Vermonters been called on to make such con- tribution to the nations welfare.
 For 15O years Vermont has dem- onstrated it's ability to produce fine maple syrup. One third of the na- tions supply of maple products comes from its hills.
 The sap is flowing now in hun dreds of sugar bushes" and every man, woman and child available is working long hard hours to harvest Spring crop that will help alle- viate the war-caused sugar short age.
 Price Up This Year
 Spigots drip bountiful measure of maple sap which looks and tastes like sweetened water. Farmers tend evaporators in the sugar houS- es, keeping the watery fluid boiling over roaring open fires.
 A brief period of boiling turns the fluid to a clear thick syrup, fit- ting complement to griddle cakes. Further boiling turns the syrup to delicious sugar--a process that is finding favor with harvesters this year.
 A barrel of sap (32 gallons) makes a gallon of syrup which in turn can be transformed into eight pounds of sugar. This season retail prices are higher than ever. Syrup that sold for g a gallon last season is up 50

John Bulger, vice president of the Citizens and Manufacturers Na- tional bank and treasurer of the local committee for the Easter seal sale of the Connecticut Society for Crippled Children, today called at tention to the increasing responsi- bility being placed upon all volun- teer charitable agencies due to the diversion of public effort to the channels of arms and supply.
 Not only has the civilian job done by Easter seals been increased, but the benefits of the experience of the Connecticut society with a program of medical care, occupa- tional therapy and vocational train ing will be urgently needed as the war progresses" MT. Bulger de- clared.
 "In times like these we must make great efforts to keep intact the

record of service to the people of our state" while Representative at-Large Lucien Maciora said, Now more than ever before, it is essential that we safeguard our health both by preventive medicine and speedy control of incipient dis ease and injury. To the extent that you are meeting those aims you are making a worthwhile contribution to the welfare of our state"
 Newly elected Congressman Jos eph E. Talbot. Fifth District, wrote, When such plan is employed universally so as to bring into its benefits every man, woman and child. I am sure our world will be a better place in which to live. I am very happy to know that each year more and more people are finding it possible to take advantage of the services you offer"
 Joseph l. Linde, M. D., New Ha- ven city health officer, sent Heart jest congratulations on the birthday and best wishes for the continuance of your success. In the five years of its existence, the Hospital Plan has played an important part in safeguarding the health of the community. By making hospital care available to people who other wise would have delayed hoSpitali- zation, and by educating people in the advantages of hospital care, your organization has rendered a community service according to the modern concepts of public health" :"
 Wilmar M. Allen, M. D., former president of the Connecticut Hos pital association, and now president of the New England Hospital aS- sembly, and director of Hartford hospital wrote, "The plan has met a real need as is shown by its phe- nomenal growth in membership. From the standpoint of the patient, hospital and doctor 1t has worked well. The statute authorizing and regulating hospital service plans has apparently accomplished its pur- pose, and the supervision of the insurance commissioner has been most helpful. I congratulate the plan on five successful years and look forward to the continuation of it's service to the public"

 "If America is to be successfully defended, we need now, more than ever, the full capacities of all our people, including the physically handicapped. A major part of the society's effort in the past year has been the development of the health and work abilities of many crippled to the point where they have taken a place in the defense effort. Many more are waiting for this opportu- nity and we are determined to have a bigger and better Easter seal sale this year to bring them this op- portunity," he concluded.

A controversy had existed as to whether parking on the school grounds should be on the first come, first served" basis or whether a definite space should be assigned to each motorist.
 Use of the school yards is expected to begin shortly as the regulation forbidding street parking for more than three continuous hours between 1 and ' a. m. dill take effect to- morrow.
 The opinion was expressed that the uncertainty of the number of car-owners who will use the school grounds made setting up of specific regulations premature. Those fav- bring the motion that specific space be assigned claimed it would in crease responsibility in preventing damage to school property and other cars and would prevent unpleasant ness among the car owners. Mem berS voting for the defeated motion were John J. Kearney, Harry c. Post, Dr. Harold J. Parkinson, and Joseph DeLuca, all Republicans.
