Business Unit Collects 1928 Pct.
AS the campaign stands, it is a
race between Government and gen.
eral business divisions as to which
will reach its quota first. General
business has secured 1928 per cent
of its quota under leadership of
Charles A. Robinson. The division
has secured $3.50 ,343 from 2l51 per-
sons and firms. The Federal and
District Government units, COM
bined as one, have secured $433, 49e
from 118,489 donors, to achieve
1924 per cent of quota.
Wayne Chatfield Taylor, Govern
ment chairman and Undersecretary
of Commerce, emphasized yesterday
that many units of his division al
ready have oversubscribed their
quotas, with more funds coming
under the staggered payday plan.
Unlike private business firms, the
two Governments do not permit pay
roll deductions for pledges made to
outside agencies. This means that

The recommendation came 10 days

ago their willingness to place all

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA. March 2O-A
calm brought on by heavy rains
in the north and center and dust
storms in the south settled over
the Tunisian front today while
1t. Gen. George S. Patton'S
American divisions consolidated
their holds on Gafsa and Ell
Guetar, 60 miles from the Ger
man life line skirting the east
coast.
But the end of the rainy season
was at hand in North Africa, and
the opposing armies utilized the
lull as best they could to wheel UP
supplies and shells for what may
be the decisive battle of the whole
campaign.
If Gen. Patton can negotiate the
remaining mountain ridges between
him and the coastal road Marsha,
Erwin Rommel will be caught In the
Mareth Line without means OF
supply between the Americans and
the British 9Th Army.
Allied Air Patrols Unopposed.
The rival air forces were neld in
check by the weather, too. although
the superior Allied formations made
unopposed sweeps and patrols over
the northern front
The 6-mile Guetaria Pass beyond
Ell Guetar was softened too much
by the 1ains to permit Gen. Patton
tanks to move forward and most
air strips in the north and center
were too muddy to allow the big
bombers to rise.
The Algiers radio said the French
commander in chief. Gen. Henri
Giraud, was present when the
Americans conquered Gafsa, and
made this comment:
Il am convinced Gafsa marks the
beginning OF an offensive which will
go on as far as Berlin. I was present
at the recapture OF Gafsa. Realiz-
ing the courage and valor OF our
troops the Germans and Italians
left even quicker than they came"
Axis Makes Extravasant Claims.
The same source said that in the
south the 9th Army had won new
positions east of the Mareth Line in
a bayonet charge. but there was no
confirmation in the communique.
While Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's and the French headquar-
tiers stated simply that the whole
Tunisian front was quiet, Berlin and
Rome made extravagant claims of
a successful attack in the north.
The Axis radios asserted that Ger
man and Italian troops had cap
tured an important position along
with 1900 prisoners, 30 guns and
Is armored vehicles. The Axis also
claimed that German planes had
made surprise raid on Tripoli and
set three ships afire.
