where in the vicinity of Gibraltar.
Spanish reports said that a pow-
erful concentration of Allied war
ships, including a battleship, three
aircraft carriers and several cruis-
ers had steamed away from the
Gibraltar anchorage.
The situation in TuniSia itself
WIS obscured by lack of official
Allied reports.
The Axis radio said the British
first army moved across the from
tier at dawn in support of French
troops who were said By correspond
ents at Allied headquarters in Af-
rica already to be fighting Nazi oc-
cupation forces in TuniSia.
ROMMEL STILL RUNNING
To the east Marshal Erwin ROM
mers pell-mell retreat was con-
tinuing. One report placed the
main remnants of the Afrika Korps
well west of Berna, some 200 miles
inside Libya. No attempt at a
stand by Rommel was likely east

til he entered Tripolitania.
The American command at Al
eiers appeared to be dickering with
Admiral Jean Francois Darlan in
IN obvious attempt to win further
support in Africa, probably in Tuni-
sia and Senegal where the French
base of Dakar is located. Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain issued
7tatement in Vichy repudiating
Darlan and some sources in 7 M
ion expressed concern at the pos
5ibility Darlan might play any per-
nanent part in the French set-up

TROOPS ENTER TUNISIA
The Royal Air Force made
another heavy attack on Genoa,
northern Italy supply base for the
Axis forces to the south.
The London press reported that
the vanguard of Lieut.. Gen. Ken
Meth A. N. Anderson'S British first
1Imy and American troops was be-
'ieved to have crossed into Tunisia
this morning. u. S. parachutists
were reported in action.
There was no official confirma-
ton that the Anglo-American army
| had entered Tunisia but the swift
march of events made it likely
that such news soon would be forth
| coming.
Dispatches from Allied headquar-
ters in North Africa told of fierce
fighting between French garrisons
and the Nazi protection" troops.
The Tunisia air fields were under
continued attack by Allied planes,
apparently operating not only from
the established bases at Malta but
from the new fields in French North

The Good Old Days

lie OOOu olu D1yS-
RR will run a continued story
about the Good Old Days in I'M
perial Valley. The story was writ
ten by Isaac A. Pearson of Braw-
ley. He has been connected with
the fruit and produce business since
the days before Main street was
paved in Brawley
Chapter |. In the good old days
cantaloupeS were hauled in wagons
which frequently broke down on the
New river hill when the bookkeep-
ers were waiting at the office at
midnight to bill out cars. A canta-
loupe was just cantaloupe, some
thing good to eat, and not a honey
dew or a honeyball grown from
some mildeW resistant seed sfy
brother, Guy saw the first canta-
loupes picked in Rocky Ford, Colo.
They were packed in barrels and
the first barrel sold in New York
fol SIS. Later he saw 'G5 carloads
of q famous Imperial Valley brand
leave the valley on one train. A
picture of that train was on dis
play in BraWley for many years.
Brawley was entertained in the
good old DAYS by Johnny Oshano,
who, later became a cartoonist in
Los Angeles, with daily pictures on
mirrors back of the soda fountain
in Fulton's Drug store. He plso
made cartoons of prominent men
around town. These were posted in
full view in the B q K pool hall
and all were easily recognized.

SfaIin Says Allied
Blow Changes War
In Russia's flavor

LONDON, Nov. IA. (UP)-
Premier Josef Stain believes
that the Allied campaign in
North Africa changes radi-
cally" the political and mill
tary situation in Europe in favor
of the United Nations and that
it soon will relieve pressure on the
Russian front, radio Moscow said
today.
Stain said the campaign means,
first of all, that the initiative has
passed into the hands of the Allies.
He said it again refutes those skep-
tics who said Anglo American lead
er5 were not capable of organizing
a serious campaign.
COMPLIMENTS ALLIES
There can be no doubt" he said,
that no one but first rate organ
! izerS could carry out such serious
war operations as the successful
landings in North Africa across
the ocean, as the quick occupation
of harborS and wide territories from
Casablanca to Bougie, and the
smashing of Italo-G German armies III
the western desert being effected
with such mastery"
/ Further, he said, it creates condi-
tions for putting Italy out of COM
mission and isolating Germany and
finally, 1t creates the prerequisite
for establishment of n second front
in Europe.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Stain set forth his views in a
letter to Henry Cassidy, chief OF
the Moscow bureau of the ASSociat-
ed Press, in reply to a letter Cassid,'
had written him asking a series OF
questions.
Early i'll october, Stain had writ
ten Cassidy, in reply to a previous
letter, urging that the Allies fulfill
their obligations to Russia and COM
planning that Allied aid to the So
Wet had been small, compared to
the total The letter was given wide
circulation and gave the axis the
impression that Russia was dis
satisfied with the contributions OF
her allies to the war.
But at the time, as it has develop
ed since the Americans landed in
French North Africa, Stain had
all details of the impending African
campaign and had approved of
them.

word or acts to proper officials.
Our front might be right near
our home.
To feel hesitant about report
ing some incident which could
easily be the lead for which the
FBI is looking is foolish senti-
ment. Who would hesitate to
shoot a dog which had given
evidence of going mad? This
danger is worse than mad
dog. We must remember that
we have in our hundred and
thirty million people many who
would not knowingly lend aid to
the enemy but who are too
laxative. Others we have who
will gladly accept money for
almost any purpose. That's
why Hitler gave these "swine"
so much American money. What
they can't learn for themselves
they intended to buy from the
innocent, unsuspecting and out
right traitors.

child to a doctor. A call to the
Presley home on Wednesday
elected the information that the
boy had slept we'll and was his
usual self.
Assuming that the dog comes
through the probation period with
a clean bill of health he will be
obliged to stand ION his own"
before the bar of justice. While
out of their love of pets a fam
lily Of Rockville has provided food
for the town dog there appears
to be no one to claim ownership.
Having violated his sidewalk
privilege the hound cannot be
"turned loose" again. So States
Attorney Ben Wilkinson has
reached the conclusion that it
might become necessary to invoke
a law Of the ancients and give the
hound public trial.
The dogs sojourn at the Coun-
ty Farm results from the fact
that no claimant of ownership
was located and therefore no
person to whom a bin could be
sent for kennel charges.

AS a result of an attack on

for two weeks. He is being held
for observation and should he
survive the two weeks with no

The serious side Of this story
is that suddenly and without
known provocation this dog
jumped on the little Presley child
in front of the Milo Theatre
about eight o'clock Tuesday eve

yells of onlookcrs frightened the
dog off. Examination showed
that the hounds tooth had been

'.Grove" Folks Enjoy
Evening With Navy
School Of Music

The woods of the Grove and the
rafters of the Auditorium echoed
10 the music of the Navy School
of Music Orchestra on Saturday
evening. The occasion was the
party planned by the Woman's Dr.
vision of the Maryland Council of
Defense, Gaithersburg- Washington
Grove Area, to entertain the men
from the Naval Hospital and the
Naval Air Station at Anacostia.
About one hundred sailor boys
came out and found one hundred
of our county bellies with delicious
box suppers of fried chicken,
sandwiches, cake etc., waiting for
them. After supper the young
people play d shuttle board, ping
pong and other games and then
the O. chcstra swung into action.
But the orchestra wasn't the only
thing that went into action! Did
those jitterbugs Utter? And how!
The chaperones and other specta-
tors were entertained by watching
the various maneuvers of the con-
firmed jitterbugs and also found
the Conga Line very enthralling
as it was performed under the
guidance Of a very adept sailor
boy leader. During intermission
"pop' and ice cream were served
by the women of the committee.
When eleven o'clock came, the
orchestra played the "Star
Spangled Banner" and this closed
the evenings activities. However,
Mayor McCathran of the Grove
led the entire audience in three
rousing cheers for the splendid
work of the eleven sailor boys in
the orchestra.

United Democratic
Congress To Hold
Meeting July Ia
Will Decide On Candidates
To Receive Local Party
Support


A meeting of the Congress of
the United Democratic Organiza-
tions of Montgomery County will
be held at the elementary school
auditorium, in Rockville, on Tues
day, July IA, at eight o'clock.
Announcement of the meeting
of the organization climaxes per-
iod of political activity on the
part of aspirants for several
county offices. At the meeting,
which will be attended by upwards
of thousand Democratic workers
from every percinct in the county,
endorsements will be given candi-
dates who will have the organiza-
ton support for nomination in the
event of primary and who will
be the party's representative on
the ballot for the several offices.
Only candidates. of those who
have announced themselves will be
considered. Should there be pub
lie announcements for offices the
limits of which go beyond Mont
gomery County consideration Of
endorsements for these candidates
will also be given. This will ap-
ply in the case of candidates for
Congress from the Sixth Congress
sional District. A candidate for
Chief Judge will probably be en-
dorsed although, it has been
stated, that no candidate will be
endorsed for Associate Judge.
Indications are that the ticket
receiving endorsement of the
United Democratic organizations
will go to the polls in November
as the Democratic slate without a
primary fight. A primary fight
might develop in the county but
there has been little organized agi-
tation for one up to this week.
