Battle Song For A Jewish BOmbardier
BY LAWRENCE Upton

Author of Brother, The Laugh Is Bitter"
For death by flame and death by shame
And secret death without
Brother mine lift up your head
For sackcloth and for ashes black
We pay this fiery payment back
Brother mine lift up your head
For murder done by day and for
The midnight knock upon the door
Brother mine, lift up your head
For knouted back and bleeding groin
We fling you down this bloody COIN
Brother mine, lift up your head
For rack and torment without ruth
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Brother mine, lift up your head
For pain beneath your iron heel
Taste avenging steel
Brother mine, lift up your head
Where numberless my brothers bled -
Now count your unnumbered dead
Brother mine, life up your head!

AXIS SEA SUPPLY
 LINE IS ATTACKED
Allied Airmen Have Sunk 10 Enemy Boats in
 Two Days

ALLIED HEADQU UARTER R S, North Africa, Dec. 4.-Allied tank forces prepared today for another smash at strong German positions l2 miles west of Tunis after 48- hour battle which resulted in about equal losses on both sides.
 This latest reported action was fought near Djeida, and the battle field is dotted with wrecked tanks.
 A headquarters spokesman said that Djeida has changed hands several times, but that the Allies now are holding the western part Of the village. German reports yesterday claimed the Nazis had recaptured this and other villages.
 Aid Raids Continue
 Meanwhile, American and Brit ish airmen continued to blast at Tunis and Bizerte on the northern coast, but details of late raids are lacking.
 Allied reports still refer to the big battle Tuesday at Tebourba, 20 miles west of Tunis and 35 miles south of Bizerte, when Allied tanks repulsed a Nazi armored force with considerable destruction of enemy equipment. The Nazis have since claimed the recapture of this vital railway junction, but the Allies have not confirmed any such report
 At the same time, the Axis ap- peared to be taking a beating in their attempts to reinforce their Africa positions. Allied airmen are credited with sinking two more Axis merchantmen out of convoy attempting to reinforce the Ger mans battling desperately in the Tunisian triangle.
 These latest sinkings bring the Allies two-day total to 10 vessels sent to the bottom along the ene- my's increasingly hazardous Medi- terranean supply route. The recent sinkings occurred Wednesday night off the coast of eastern Tunisia.
 Showdown Coming
 The Allied landing forces now are regrouping their units for new showdown after warding off Axis counter-attacks during the last AS hours in bitter fighting while new heavy air blows were being struck at Bizerte and Tunis.
 An Allied spokesman declared that losses in the latest battles, still continuing, were high on both sides.
 The latest report available states that despite repeated enemy as- saults to eject them the Allies still are in control of two of the towns forming the strategic Tunisia tri- angle-Tebourba and Mateur-and are fighting in the western out skirts of the third town, Dieida.

MAJOR ROOSEVELT

This column threw plenty Of harpoons into Jimmy Roosevelt in the old Boston insurance days, so now it takes pleasure in evening up the score. The real story of what Major Roosevelt has been doing in the Marine Corps is gradually leaking out through his comrades. It would have been on the front pages if he were not the Presidents son.
 Jimmy is member of the Raid CTS, equivalent to the British com mandos, the most dangerous branch of the Marine Corps. As such he landed on Maxim Island in the mid- Pacific, to wipe out a Jap base.
 Going ashore from a submarine in a rubber boat, Roosevelt's party upset seven times on an outer reef before they finally reached the island. Then the Raiders wiped out the Jap garrison, ranged through the island for two days until every Jap was exterminated. During the raid, the Japs sent in two big troop transport planes to retake the island. Roosevelt's men were armed only with light calibre machine guns, But they waited until each plane was close to the ground. then opened up full force and wiped out each plane.
 Five of Roosevelts men were killed, and about l30 Japs. When
