 In southern Tunisia, the Axis troops who were reported to hold the important east coast towns of Gabes and SfaX appeared to have moved inland to the neighborhood of Gafsa, 70 miles from the coast,

Ther~ is mile-high fun. when Betty Grable, Payne, combustible Carmen and Cesar Romero get their romantic signals mixed. And there is rhythm calculated tc rock the Rockies them selves, when Harry James ard His Music Makers set mellow melody the exhilarating splendor Of Can- ada's Lake Louise which serves, for the most part, as the films locale, The idol of dance-conscious young America, James trumpet virtuosity will register pleasantly on the more
