BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The situation in Tunisia, &C
cordlng to competent military
authorities, justifies neither the
wave of peSsimism which fol-
lowed the setbacks suffered by
the American forces last week
nor an exaggerated optimism
which comes on receipt of news
of successes.
These quarters maintain their
previous position that until We
are ready to strike at the enemy,
there will be seesaw battles with
changing fortunes in the area.
But they are confident that in
the end we will get the better of
the Nazis. whose main problem
in the weeks to come will be that
of supplies.
For the time being weather
has been on the side of the
enemy. Heavy seas and poor
visibility have curbed Allied sub
marine and air forces in their
efforts to interfere with the
Nazis' supply line across the
Mediterranean.
1t is true that a large number
of Axis supply ships have been
sent to the bottom. But good
many Of them managed to slip
across and land supplies for the
forces of Marshal Erwin Rom
mel. There were days during
which neither submarines nor
planes could report any success
full hunting, and the chase of
enemy supply ships had to be
made by surface vessels-a none
too profitable operation.
Axis Force of 225, 900.
Rommel is believed to have
some 225 900 men in Tunisia. Of
the total about $4,000 are service
troops handling the unloading,
the defense of the docks and
harbors and other such duties,
leaving him $4,000 fighting men.
1t is believed in authoritative
quarters that the Nazi leader will
not be able to increase this num-
Der because, as the weather i'm
proves and the days grow longer,
the Allies will be in a better DO
Sition to fight the battle of sup
ply lines.
Even admitting that by various
means, such as large submarine
transports. air transports and
very small vessels capable OF
escaping the watchful eye of the
Allies, he can receive certain
amount of supplies, there must
be limit to the number of men
he can utilize in the Tunisian
theater of operations and that
limit will be established at his
present strength, it is believed.
1t would be a mistake to con-
clude that because in our first
brush with the German Marshal
our forces have come out second
best, they are push-overs. The
lessons learned last week-and
serious errors have been made by
commanders in the field who COW
cred long line with thin cur
tain-have already paid some
dividends.
The British 9th Army under
. the command of Gen. Sir Harold
Alexander has been relatively in
active because the British also
have learned many an impor-
tant lesson from their previous
defeats. This army is awaiting

should follow such a course dur
ing this, the most critical period
in our history"
There is grave danger that the
nomination of MI, Alfred will not
be reported from the Senate
judiciary Committee, to which it
has been referred, or that if it is,
it will be rejected by the Senate
itself. Many Democratic Scna-
tors already have expressed oppo-
sition to the appointment on the
ground that it makes of the Fed
eral bench political playground.
They resent, also, the apparent
attempt Of the President to
purge" Senator ODaniel, who
has not gone along with the ad-
mlnlstration in its foreign policy
and in some domestic issues, by
supporting Mr.. Alfred against
him.
Called Too Raw

feated and was almost imme-
dlately reappointed to the bench.
but at a salary increase" AS
district judge, he received $4,000
year, and as circuit judge he
would receive $4,000.
Senator Connally of Texas is
going to support Mr.. Alfred. SEN
ator ODaniel, however, is ex-
pected to oppose the appoint
ment, and to give his reasons to
the Judiciary Committee. The
nomination is at present before
a subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Hatch of New Mexico. the
author Of the pure politics" law.
who has announced a hearing
next Tuesday. The committee
has received many letters pro-
testing the appointment. Sena-
tor Connally takes the position
that Mr.. Alfred made a good
judge on the District Court, and
that he is well qualified for the
higher post.
The Republicans are mulling
over the appointments, too. If
they go down the line against Mr..
Alfred, on the ground that the
appointment was the pay-of to
a political supporter of the Pres
ldent, they may defeat confrma-
ton.
Hughes Case Recalled,
1t was recalled today that when
former Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes was appointed by
former President Hoover. the is
sue was raised against him that
he left the Supreme Court. of
which he had been an associate
justice, in 1916 to run for Presi-
dent, and that he engaged in
political activities from that time
until his appointment as Chief
Justice in 1880. However, the
Senate confirmed Mr.. Hughes
nomination by a vote Of 50 to 26.
There was no question here of a
political deal or: "payofI". Mr..
Hughes left the bench to run for
President, after the Republican
national convention had laid the
nomination at his feet. In the
IA years that intervened before
his appointment as Chief Justice.
Mr.. Hughes practiced law and
served brilliantly as Secretary of
State. d.

large quantities Of supplies which
must be gathered behind the fu-
ture front. 1t will not begin its
operations-which might take it
quite a distance from the pres
ent positions-until it has all the
necessary supplies.
The same thing applies to the
British lst Army under Gen.
Kenneth Anderson. They are
marking time, holding Rommel
the best they can. until the guam
titles Of food water, shells and
replaCements have been gath
cred in places near the front and
a major offensive from at least
two areas can be started in the
next few weeks.
Of course, the element of what
the NaZiS may do in the mean
time is being taken into consid-
Grafton. Rommel is not a sit
and wait" general. He knows
what difficulties will be confront
ing him when the good weather
sets in and he will take every con-
ceivable opportunity to hit his
opponents hard wherever they
may be weakest.

order to turn against the British
9Th Army before it receives enough
supplies to take major offensive.
Big Task Ahead.
This, Of course, is well known
to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, the
commander in chief of the Allied
forces in Africa. Every effort is
being made to Illustrate the plans
of the Nazi field marshal, whose
ability and shrewdness Is not
underestimated.
The American high command
Is fully aware of the task ahead.
But 1t continues to be fully con-
fident that while the Allies still
may suffer some setbacks here
and there we will be in a position
to prevent Rommel from obtain
ing major advantage on either
OF the two fronts and when all
preparations have been termi-
mated it will be able to strike
from several points.
The situation in North Africa
Is considered as satisfactory. on
the whole, although our forces
may suffer further defeats. Unless
some major blunder is committed.

expulslons of the enemy from

BY GOULD LINCOLN.


For the second time within
few weeks a nomination for i'm
portant Federal Office is being
challenged in the Senate on the
ground that the appointment
was made in payment Of a po-
litical debt
The first was that Of Edward
j. Flynn. former Democratic
national chairman. who was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt
to be United States Minister to
Australia. The second is that of
James V. Alfred of Texas, former
United States district judge and
former Governor, recently named
by the President to fill the va
cancy in the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals. So strong coalition
of Republican and Democratic
Senators stood ready to vote
against confirmation of Mr..
Flynns nomination that at the
request Of Nj. Flynn, the Presi-
dent Withdrew it.
Mr.. Allred's appointment is
contested on two grounds. The
first is that he resigned from the
Federal bench last year to enter
the Democratic senatorial pri-
mary against Senator ODaniel,
becoming the recognized candi-
date Of the Roosevelt admins
tration; and, having been de-
feated, he has now been ap-
pointed to higher post in the
Federal judiciary than he had
at the time Of his resignation.
The second reason given for
opposing the nomination is that
the State Of Louisiana was en-
titled to a place in the Circuit
Court OF Appeals. Six States now
are included in the circuit: Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida. Louisiana
was represented since 1925 in the
Circuit Court by the late Judge
Rufus Foster until his death last
August. Prior to Judge Fosters
death there were only five mem
bers of the court, and thereafter
Congress voted an additional
judge, with the understanding
that each Of the six States would
then be represented in the court.
The President, however, has
sent to the Senate the nomina-
ton of Judge Curtis L. Waller of
Florida to fill the newly created
place in the court, and that of
Mr.. Alfred to fill Judge Fosters
place. That gives Texas two
members of the court-and
Louisiana none.
Ellender Leads Fight.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana, who is leading the fight
against confirmation, along with
his colleague, Senator Overton,
points out that Louisiana is the
only State in the circuit which
Is governed by the Napoleonic
Civil Code, coming down from
the days when the State was
owned by France. The rest are
governed by the common law
code. This, he insists, is an added
reason why Louisiana is entitled
to have a member of the court.
Also Senator Ellender said that
he had an understanding with
Attorney General Biddle that
Archie T. Higgins of New Orleans,
who had the backing Of the
State Bar Association, would be
named for this vacancy in the
court.
However, one thing I over
looked" Senator Ellender said,
and which is now apparent, was
that the President evidently felt
constrained to fulfill a promise
previously made to Mr.. Alfred. I
can't help but feel that pure,
simple and unadulterated politics
caused the President to select
Mr.. Alfred. 1t is regrettable, to
say the least, that the President
