the assault force was whipped with

TO EASE PRESSURE
The attack apparently was an
attempt to ease the pressure on the
Afrika Korps' mountain line in
the Enfidaville area less than so
miles south of Tunis, where the
British Eighth army was battering
slowly but steadily forward after
Tending off Nazi counter -thrusts.
In some of the fiercest hand-to-

west of Enfidaville, hurting scream

REVIVE ISSUE
The British government revived
the troubled issue of gas warfare
by charging that the Nazis were
getting ready to use poison gas
against the Russians and warning
that Britain was prepared for mass
raids in kind on German cities.
An official statement said the
government had received reports
from several sources - unspecified
that Hitler was planning to use
gas on the Russian front, apparent
ly in desperate effort to cripple
the Red army before the Allies
strike at Europe in the west.
The statement said any such
