LYMOUTH MAN
 LEADS RAIDERS
Col. Evans F. Carlson, Son Lead Guerrilla Expedi-
 ton Against Japs

United States Main Headquarters, Guadalcanal Island. Dec. G. (De- layed) = (UP) - Bearded and foot sore but triumphant. a force of United States Marine raiders came back to base today after a record breaking one month of guerrilla operations in which they killed $50 to 400 Japanese and captured three enemy artillery positions.
 Under lean, sun tanned Lieut., Col. Evans F. Carlson. AT, Plymouth, Conn, who led the Commando-like Marine raid on Maxim Island Aug. IT, the Marines conducted their operations deep in enmey country, wading rivers. hacking their way with knives through dense jungle undergrowth and living largely on rice, bacon, raisins and tea.
 Carlson told how his men had gone through one of the longest Sus- tainde guerrilla operations:
 we started on a 48-hour mission and wound up by remaining one month. The men had to be self re- liant and resourceful. We travelled light and fast. Each man cooked his own food. We had no blankets, so at night we cut boughs from the trees and gathered leaves to make bedS.s
 During the early stages the raiders were supplied with food from for ward fbaseS. During the last two weeks they were operating in such dense jungle that parcels of food were parachuted to them by plane.
 Tt was not the length of our marches that bothered the men most" Carlson said. Tt was the terrain and the loads they carried. These loads were mostly ammuni- tion. It was strictly guerrilla war fare"
 Carlson said, as had other Ma rines, that the Japanese were ca pablo fighters and that they fought to the last man.
 "The only difference is that our men can do the same things the Japs can, but better he said. we are making the Japs pay dearly for their positions on this island.
 Carlson's raiders, with Maj John V. Mather of the Australian Army accompanying them. made a land- in: in enemy territory and pushed

WAR TO INVADE
 EVERY KITCHEN
Drastic Cut in Available
 Food Supplies Antici- pated By Officials
By JOSEPH W. GREGG, JR, United Press Stan Correspondent

Y
 Washington, Dec. II. -(UPJ-Of- flcial forecasts indicated today the war will invade every American kitchen in a big way in 1943.
 Drastic cuts in canned food sup plies, points" rationing of meat and curtailment of fats for soap manufacture are only the major changes on the horizon Shortages of dairy products are expected to lead to early rationing.
 "No one will need to go hungry" Food Administrator Claude '. Wickard said. we will be the best fed nation in the world.''
 But he and other officials coping with the job of feeding the United Nations warned that American eat ing habits already affected in some luxury fields-are in for jolt next year.
 Wickard's thesis as he tackles his new job is that the United States is going to have to give up some of its food luxuries.
 At his first press conference as Food Administrator. Wickard said the prospects were good that civil ians and soldiers and their allies would have enough food to meet needs-"I emphasize needs as against what people might like |. I'm not saying that you may not go hungry for some of the things you would like"
 Along with the assurance that no one need be hungry came denial of a report that the government plans to limit movement of food to 500 miles or eliminate larger stores to concentrate sales in smaller es- tablishments. But agriculture and Office of Defense Transportation of- ficials recognize that transportation is one of the major food bottleneckS
 President Roosevelt delegated to Wickard the power to establish pri- critics on the transportation ot foods. And officials here expect an attempt soon to eliminate so far as possible long hauls of non-essen- tial, foods.
 Much transportation now is vast ed. Officials said, for example, beef is shipped into Nebraska from Chi

 Australians who cleaned the en- emy out of the village of Coma were advancing along the beach, south east, toward other Japanese strong points in the Cape Killerton and Sanananda sections.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's air force continued to pound the Jap- anese air strip near Buna Mission, where ground forces made further slight gains yesterday. There was heavy artillery fire. The Japan csc used 75-millimeter guns and mortars. The Americans lobbeG shells up to 4-inch size into the Japanese anti-aircraft positions, using 81-millimeter and 105-milli- meter mortars brought in planes from Australia.
 Don Caswell, United Press staff correspondent at the front, de- scribed in dispatch written We'd nesday the last hopeless attempt of the Japanese to escape from Coma when the Aussies closed in there.

GERMANS USING
 GLIDER PLANES
Bring Achievements Into
 Tunisia Despite Stiffest Opposition

Allied Headquarters, North Africa, Dec. 11.-(UP)-Germany is pour ing air borne achievements into southern Tunisia by glider against stiff opposition by French troops and the. American para chute troops of Lleut. Col. Edson D. Raff of New York City, advices to headquarters said today.
 GA headquarters dispatch from Walter Logan, United Press corre- spondent, reported that Germany was landing the glider-borne troops all along the coast as far south as Gabes, POS miles south of Tunis, and for considerable distance inland
 (The reinforcements have been landing in increasing numbers since Tuesday, Logan reported.
 (So far, he said, the air borne troops had not been in action and apparently both sides were feeling out the others advanced positions.)
 The gliders were reported to be large ones and it was believed they were being flown from Sardinia and Sicily.
 They were bringing the Germans to bolster the Italians against the steady Allied thrust toward the east coast which threatened to cut all enemy communication between the Tunis- Bizerte area and Libya.
 RATS crack paratroops were op- erating as ground troops alongside the French, who according to re- ports to headquarters were giving constantly. increasing aid to the Allies. They were handicapped however, by inadequate and often outdated weapons and supplies. The best of their equipment, 1t was re- vealed, had long since been taken out of Africa by the German and Italian Arnistice Commissions. News reached headquarters last night of the way in which French troops ambushed an Italian troop train along the east coast and killed all but IS of 300 troops aboard it. French patrols operating . few ancient French arrnored cars and l2 motorcycles mined the tracks (coAtinusd on Page 1

'ft5iff itt.f German Losses in Engage ment Much Higher Than
 Allies TWO-FRONT ASSAULT
 IN N. AFRICA DUE ParatrOOps, Dropped Be tween Germans, Tunis , Do Much Damage
BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent

= ASSeS NSOeA~Skf~AA~~~r-"~F
 London, December Il. (UP) - German tank cOl- umnS have been thrown back in a sharp battle near MedjeS Fl Bab, 20 miles, southwest of Tebourba, an Allied com munique revealed today and in other forward areas of Tunisia Allied patrols are on the offensive.
 The communiQue did not state specifically whether Allied troops had fallen back on Med Jez El Bah when they relinquished Tebourba last weekend but it appeared likely that the strong hill positions in which they are TOW established are in the vicinity of this town which holds a commanding highway june tion position on the Medjerda River.
 The German attack, Allied North 1 African Headquarters revealed, was carried out by two columns. one ] advancing from the north along the west bank of the Medjerda River | and the second heading directly west, presumably from the vicinity of St. Cyprien, a few miles south west of Tunis.
 Came from Massicault
 The Germans may have come from Massicault, 1T miles east of Medjez Fl Bab.
 American, British and French troops. aided by Allied tanks and strafing fighter planes. moved into an immediate counter attack against the German columns and destroyed number of Nazi tanks with the loss of only "a few" AL lied armored fighting machines.
 The column advancing from the east moved up to within 2.000 yards of Medjez El Bab when the Allies opened up with artillery and fighter plane attacks.
 German losses in the engage ment were reported as consider ably higher" than those of the AL lied forces.
 The strong stand of the Allied force at Medjez Fl Bab was believed to reflect the arrival of increas- ing numbers of reinforcements ir the forward area. These forces have been pushed ahead despite the handicap of bad weather which has made some roads in the noun tainous country virtually impass. | able.
 Increasing strength of the Allied forces in Tunisia and at the east ern end of the African front at Fl Agheila led London observers to predict that the Axis shortly would face an active two-front fight to hold its position in Tunisia and Tripolitania.
 Nazis Nervous The Middle Eastern command as Cairo reported nervousness in the Axis Fl Aghe!la line, ATS miles east of Tunis, because of ceaseless Brit- ish patrol activity which it was be- lieved here was intensifying toward an early climax in 8 renewed drive westward.
 The vichy radio reported that British and American reinforce ments in men and material had reached the Tebourba area west of Tunis in preparation for an attack from southwest of Tebourba.
 United Press dispatches from AL lied headquarters in North Africa reported that German glider-borne | troops from Sardinia and Sicily were pouring into the entire Tu- nisian east coast area and inland as far as Gabes, 205 miles soltk I of Tunis. in expectation of an Ak- lied drive to cut communicates

THE present city airport at
