sources said today that Propaganda
Minister Joseph GoebbelS' speech
yesterday was the frankest admis-
sion to date that Germany is fac
Ing defeat and the spirit of the Ger
man people is tagging.
Some observers believed Goebbels
even was tentatively offering peace
feelers to the United States and
Britain in an implied appeal for
help to meet the grave threat Of
advancing Russian armies.
They cited his omission Of the
usual abuse Of the United States
and Britain and his statement that
the Red armies would not halt at
the English Channel frontier"
The slump In morale on the home
front was revealed. observers said,
In the fact that Goebbels believed

Grams, after occupying Foum Tata-
houine yesterday, swung northward
some miles to point about half way
10 Medenine, near the center Of
tte Mareth forts.
The Germans still were putting
up some resistance within Medenine,
The "Verdun Of the Mareth Line,
which the British had entered O
day earlier.
Although the Eighth Army strate-
~ shaped UP as possible frontal
assault against the center Of the
line in concert with q thanking ma
newer, military observers here
warned against expectations Of an
immediate onslaught.
The middle eastern commands
communicate said Eighth Army ar
tillery dueled yesterday with enemy
artillery in the area Of Medentne,
central outpost Of the Mareth line.
The Eighth Arrny's advanced units
entered Medenine two days ago, but
Its occupation by the British has not
yet been announced. Apparently,
British guns were In range Of the
Mareth lines pillboxes, because all
units Of the Afrika KorpS were be-
lieved to have withdrawn behind the
line.
Axls reports that the Eighth Army
had already begun its assault were
reoNved with reserve. But IL was
not doubted In London that the
British would soon be hitting the
AfrikA Korps hard enough In SOUTH
eastoln Tunisia TO divert consider
able pressure from the Americans.
Weather Bad
ThO weather prohibited extensive
offensive air operations on the
Mareth line front yesterday, and 1t
might be that the Eighth Army was
waxing for better flying conditions
to begin the Anal assault. IA
Meanwhile, planes from the mid
die east continued to blast the Axis
on other parts Of the African front.
The Royal Air Force announced
that torpedo bombers based on
Malta sank a medium -sized enemy
vessel northwest Of Sicily Wednes-
day night. The admiralty and. Raj
have announced the destruction or
damage Of at least ~ enemy vessels
In the Mediterranean this week.
Most Of them were destroyed.
Allied planes from the middle east
ranged over italy Wednesday night,
and west Of laramie damaged four
locomotives and started fires among
a long line Of freight trains, un-
doubtedly destined for the African
front.
Emmy motor transport vehicles
were shot up yesterday between
Sousse and Sfax, in Tunisia. All
Allied planes returned from all OPP
erations.

McNiff, Jr. Kardoski sutained injuries which caused his death two days later at Waterbury hospital, where he was taken by po- lice who investigated the accident.
 The coroner's finding states that Lyng drove his car south on Thom- aston avenue about 11:O0 o'clock on the night of March 1, and that as he approached a point approximately opposite a telephone pole, he saw Karodski standing on the shoulder of the road facing the fence.
 When Lyng arrived at that point. according to the finding, Karodski stepped or fell into the path of the car, and the right front part of the car threw him violently to the ground, causing injuries, including laceration of the brain, which re- suited in his death March 3.
 The finding states: There is no evidence to indicate that Lyng knew or should have known that
