Naval gunflre directed at Cape
Fedhala started flames billowing
skyward. Shells struck the Hotel
Miramar and a number of homes
bordering on the area and caused
French civilian casualties. These
were estimated by the local chief of
police to be small.
AS the advancing American troops
neared the last battery naval au-

to avoid Smelling their own troops
To disengage the battery, however

only by few French marines. They
were the only ones left after 1C
hours firing.
Walking back toward the beach
area I met Maj Gen. George S
Patton as he drove up in tank
to confer briefly with the German
prisoners. Afterward, grinnine
cheerfully as he fingered two ivory
handled revolvers he wears strapped
to his belt, the commander in chief
of United States forces in Morocco
praised the role played by the naval
forces.
AS Sergt Anspacher and I turned
to walk to the boat-littered beach
we heard from group of soldiers
how a battalion of infantry stopped
a train en- route from Fedhala to
Rabat and removed as prisoners
so French colonial troops.
Walking along the escarpment
fronting the coral reef on which
we had foundered we heard the
roar of engines overhead and looked
up to see eight pursuit planes head
ing backward.
Grated by French Planes.
We watched casually until they
nosed down sharply and began to
spit machine-gun slugs.
They're French" shouted Sergt.
Anspacher.
The sergeant and I and his
tommygun dived together into the
nearest beach trench and Rugged
its sand walls as the planes strafed
seward, turning back only when
they ran into a wall of anti-aircraft
fire.
The French, operating from in
terror air fields, employed Potez 63s,
tWo-engined observation bombers,
and Curtiss P-36 pursuit planes OBJ
tanned from the United States by
the French before the armistice with
Germany.
Two of the P-36s. forerunners of
the United States Army Air Forces

down by American ground gunners.
AS twilight began to fall the
American troops consolidated their
positions and dug themselves thou
sands Of fox holes, the only available
shelter.
Sergt. Anspacher wangled us a
beach shack and some blankets from
a grinning Frenchman. Before we
lay down to sleep our neighbor,
Henri Lancon, former prison warden
at Dion, France, and his wife,
Mathilde, came over from their ad-
joining shack to offer us bottle of
wine.
They had left Occupied France
and hoped to start new life in
French Guiana with their two chill
dren, Claude. 8, and Annick, 10.
Their friendly attitude was typical
of the treatment everywhere ac-

Macarthur Is  Possibility 1914

WASHINGTON -One subject very much on the tongues of Re publican leaders at the National Committee meeting in Chicago was Gen Douglas Macarthur.
 The hotel lobbies. corridors and cocktail lounges buzzed with discussion of his possibilities as the COP strong man. in l944 Much political significance seem ed to be attached to the fact that Pat Hurley, Secretary of War in Hoover's Cabinet who is now U s. Minister 10 New Zealand, is in close contact with MacArthur
 However, there was one point on which the COP chiefs were very much in doubt - MacAr- thurs party label, whether he is a Republican or Democrat. No one appeared to know definitely in which camp to place him. But one story that went the rounds did give MacArthur a COP slant"
 According to this report, he sent several friends tO the 1920 convention in Chicago, which after a bitter fight finally nomin ated Warren c, Harding, and in- structed them to submit his name to the delegates in the event any interest developed in a World War hero.
 ,MacArthur was then in his early 40's and commandant of West Point. He had made an outStand ing record as the front-line com mander of the famous Rainbow Division and was a very popular figure, particularly among veter ans of the AEF.
 However, no interest develop ed at Chicago and his name never got into the headlines.
 NOTE Gen. MacArthur was nit the only presidential possib- ility discussed at the recent Ma tional Committee meeting. There also was some talk of a 1944 ticket made up of Tom Dewey of

Jap Propaganda Agents Ready
 Attack on US.

WASHINGTON - Inside in- telligence information is that Japanese propaganda agents are now marshalling their forces for a concerted attack against the United States in Latin America, with Argentina, Brazil and Chile as focal points
 Japan will resort to a number of typical Axis methods to sway neutral countries away from col laboration with the United Stat as including the AXis-worn tao ties of making overtures and giv lng assurances that she has no imperialistic aims toward these countries On the other hand, the Japanese will emphasize that the United States has been greedy in her international trade relations and has imperialistic designs on Central and South America.
 In launching this propaganda attack Japan has instructed her agents to do everything possible to solicit the goodwill of Span lsh and Portuguese representa- lives in Latin American coun- tries.
 In addition to propaganda agents and diplomatic represent atiVes Japan has recruited agents in commercial firms throughout both Europe and the American countries to propagandize per sons of Latin culture and Cath ollie faith. In this connection, plans have been made to go even so far as to try to exploit His Holiness, The Pope.
 Already $50,0O0 has been for Warded to Japanese representa- tlyes in Chile to be used in at- tempting to bribe government officials.
 One of the most audacious phases of the Japanese plan is the. one that calls for an attempt to induce revolution in the United States by cooperation with factional groups within the country, and creating dissension among the people by sniping at the Roosevelt Administration.

 heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen are definitely out of action and must undergo exten- siVe repairs, the British announced officially.
 Heavy Blow Dealt Axis
 A heavy blow thus has been dealt to the hopes of the German, Italian and Japanese alliance for a gi- gantic simultaneous world wide attack against the fleets of the United Ma tions.
 The Admiralty and Air Force in Britain said that the three great reserve ships of the German Navy had previously been hurt by torpedo and bombing attacks in a fight in the English Channel in Febru- ary and by British mines, planes and submarines.
 The 26,000-ton Gneisen- au and ScharnhorSt rock eted into the news in Feb ruary when they dashed out of the dens of the French ports in which they had been trapped and steadily plastered by RAF fighters, to make a fight ing race for German ports. At the same time, the l0,- 000-ton cruiser Ping Eugen had dashed from Trond- helm alnog with the Tir- pitz, and then the German fleet was home and ready for action.
 Fears of a possible bal ance of sea power swing ing to the Axis side have been nagging at the Allies since these escapes and the growing probability of the gain of the French Fleet by the Axis. However, the breaking of the three big Nazi vessels will greatly lessen the possibility of a naval attack soon.
