set up 10 protect Tunis from the
south. It appeared that the line.
with its natural fOrtiiications. could
not be pierced without a terrific
loss OF personnel
GAVE UP ASSAULT
So Montgomery decided 70 give
up a frontal assault and wheel his
army around to attack from The
side, similar to the manner IN which
he cracked the Mareth line IN
southern Tunisia late IN March
The Eighth army's Indian noun
tain fighters, noted for their teroe-
ity in hand To hand combat, joined
the First army which vas hammer
ing at the western defenSes of Tunis
and their combined weight broke the
Axis defenseS.
This move by the army that had
chased the enemy all the way across
Libya from El Alamein was revealed
in two dispatches by United Press
Correspondent Ned Russell, VINO has
been with the Eighth army ever
since it drove into TuniSia
One dispatch was FLED on May
and the other on May g. They
were delayed by the censors appar-
emily because it was necessary TO
catch the enemy completely by sur
prise.
NO MASS ATTACK
Russell wrote that no mass at
tack had developed along the Emf
daville line because an attempt TO
crack the AXIS mountain defenses
had threatened to be too costly.
Montgomery originally had plan
ned a big scale attack against the
main mountain dctenses on Dlebel
Mengoub, guarding the Bou Ficha
plain. He ordered the Indians TO
attack Mengoub at / ain. on April
90 But on the afternoon of April
% he learned that the Germans had
put heavily armed troops on two
hills called Terhouua and Strait in
front of Mengoub.
He decided to send them, in
stead against Terhouna and Strait
The Indian division seized the hills
in a night attack but were driven
off in daylight. After that, Mont
gomery changed his plans
Transferred 10 the First army
front. the Indians attacked an i'm
portant hill position and routed the
enemy with their big curved knives.
They took three rocky hills 10
miles east OF Medjez El Bah SO
quickly that they forced the artil-
lery to change its schedule. They
overran the German positions and
sent back an urgent message for
the artillery 10 fire only on request.
They took the first hill by 730
am. on May 6, the second by 9 am.
and the third by II am.
1t was the sor of battle the In
dians hEe-a minimum of shooting
Those Germans taken prisoner were
thankful that they still were alive
because the Indians think prison
ers are botherSome.

the continent.
Swedish press reports from Sofia,
via Serlin. said that the stars and
stripes were flying beside the Brit
ish union jack from Cyprus public
buildings and that American mill
tary. political and economic experts
were aiding in administration of
the island.
CAME TWO MONTHS AGO
An American general who conf
mandS a division and his staff were
said to have arrived at Nicosia, the
islands capital. These reports said
that the Americans began arriving
on Cyprus two months ago, presum-
ably as part of the invasion plan.
Word reaching Madrid from italy
and France told of the intensified
preparations by the Axis to fortify
Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and south
ern Italy against invasion.
Thousands of laborers were pour
ing cement for anti-tank bitches,
machine gun emplacements and air
raid shelters in Italy, it was said.
The work. started in December, was
being rushed to completion because
of the Axis collapse II Tunisia.
TO WEAKEN DEFENSES
1t was suggested that recent heavy
Allied bombings of the whole Med
iterranean area were designed part
ly to weaken these defenSes.
Greek sources here said that the
capture of Crete would be equally
important as the capture of Sicily
in any Allied invasion from Africa.
The Nazis we're believed to have
four divisions or about 48,000 men
ON the heavily-fortified island.
The Greeks suggested that it
might be easier first to occupy the
Dodecanese islands off the Turkish
coast. These islands, believed to be
held by $4,000 Italians, are not be-
licved to be as we'll fortified as
Crete.
Adolf Hitler gave an idea of con-
ditions among the Nazi fighting
men in his appeal for Red Cross
funds yesterday. He asserted that
The homeland cannot assess how
great has been the physical moral
demands" upon the troops, He SAID
that conditions had been especially
bad on the Russian front.
MANY SACRIFICES
"All the sacrifices at home pale
in comparison with the privations
and sufferings that our soldiers had
to undergo for second time in the
east" Hitler said.
