miles west of Ell Agheila while Brit
ish tanks, guns, infantrymen and
planes slash at trapped enemy
force to the east, it was announced
today.
A communique of the Middle
Eastern command issued in Cairo,
disclosed that the British advanced
forces throughout yesterday fought
the fleeing rear guard, pressing it
closely, southwest of Nofilia, which
is 80 miles west of Gen Sir Ber-

at Tripoli, then Tunis.a
DAMAGE unknown
In the area between the marble
Arch flying field, 40 miles west of
FL Agheila, and Wadi Matratin, 20
miles west of Marble Arch, power
fully reinforced British forces drove
against the scores of Axis tanks and
thousands of men trapped between
q thanking column and the main
British army.
Extent of damage inflicted on
the enemy between Marble Arch
and Wadi Matratin is not yet
known the communique said.
From the Libyan battle area tG
northern Tunisia, and from the
American coast to Italy, the Axis
were under mercileSs land, sea and
air attack.
AIR OFFENSIVE
In TuniSia, the American army
air force went on a "a hour offens-

communications, troops and ships.
A British submarine was believed
to have sunk two medium sized
supply ships, escorted by deStrOyerS,

scored on the ships.
In the gulf OF Hammamet off the
TuniSian east coast another British
submarine torpedoed medium sup
ply ship, heavily laden with motor
transport, and sent it aground in
a sinking condition.
Middle Eastern command fighter
planes, probably based on Malta,
destroyed at least five big enemy
aircraft, taking troops and sup
plies to Africa, off Sicily.

BY ERSkINE JOHNSON

HollyWoods Ball of Fire" is still
rollin'.
We mean Barbara Stanwyck, of
course, and today she's putting even
more fire into a burlesque enter
tainer named Gypsy-pardon me,
DiXie-in the film version of Gypsy
Rose Lees ribald book, The G.
String Murder. Gypsy - pardon
me, DiXie-Was a strip teaSer in
the book but in the movie she's
a singer. Censorship, you know.
It starts with a typical burlesque
production number a line of "a
show girls in filmy costumes.
And then Barbara steps into a
blue spotlight But instead of peel
ing off what little clothes she's
wearing, she goes into a sort of
vocal strip tease:
Come and give me heat
Cause I like my music sweet.
I want TO feel my impulse beat.
Take it off the E-strin2 and play
it on the G-string."
THERE'S A STORY
Words and music by ace tune
smith Harry Akst, composer of
"Dinah" and Am I Blue" and
Sammy Calm. And ali in the best
of taste, of course, under the pro-
duction guidance of Hunt Strom-
berg.
There's quite a story behind Pro-
ducer Stromberg's purchase for the
screen of Gypsy Rose Lees story
of backstage burlesque life and the
mysterious murders of two run
way queens. A discreet screen play,
minus strip teasing, by James Gum
readily was approved by the CEN
sors. The cast was the big head
ache.
Stromberg had an idea, and as q
result there's only one big name
La StanWyck--in the cast. The pro-
ducer's idea was to avoid Hollywood
type casting ans. BROTHER, he GER
tainly dood il.
BIG GALS NEEDED
No. 2 headache was rounding up 4
group of 6-foot show girls. Despite
all the big talk by California cham
bers of commerce, they didn't grow
EN- all that big out here. Strom-
berg finally rounded UP six of them,
headed by Elinor Troy the gal who
once almost became Mrs. Tommy
Manville.
Suomberg's aversion to type cast
ing gives a young IriShman, Eddie
O'Shea. The break OF his life as
Miss StanWyck's leading man.
There's swell story behind this,
too. On opening night of Eve OF

ago, Stromberg was in the audience

Fertilization

Fertilization of winter legumes in hill

crease nitrogen production so to 100
percent or more, according to tests.
Five hundred pounds of limestone
(where lime is nceded), and 200 pounds
of superphosphate, to the acre. is COM
monty recommended application. Basic
Stag may be substituted for lime and
phosphate. Fertilizer materials should
be applied before planting, or at time
OF planting. The lime, superphosphate
and potash may be mixed and applied
broadcas. or with distributor. Basic
Stag may be applied with distributor,
or scattered broacast before seed are
planted. Fertilizer recommendations
should be followed on at least part of
the winter legume acreage on every
farm in hill sections, to determine the
increased growth that may be expected
from such practice.
Vetch and winter pea seed should
always be inoculated before planting,
following closely directions on contain
ers in which inoculation, as exposure of
seed to direct sunlight for longer than
80 minutes may kill inoculating organ
isms.
