EMOTIONAL SECURITY
IS ESSENTIAL

40 AAoOE1N l. aL
There is, for instance, the story
currently being told about an. in
telligent, well dressed Negro from
Philadelphia who recently found
himself and two Southern white
Army officers the sole occupants
of Pullman car, on a train travel
ing between Atlanta and Montgom-
cry. The officers told the conduc-
tor to put the Negro off. To his
everlasting credit, the record shows
that the conductor refused. The
train was held up for two hours
while the argument ragged and when
the train finally proceeded, the con-
ductor pointed out to the Negro
passenger that he had no means
of protecting him and that it might
be dangerous to insist upon occupy
ing berth that night. The Negro
retired from the Pullman until
after the officers had arrived at
their destination. This decision il

Outdated Columbus

History records that Christopher
Columbus glimpsed the shores of
the New world on October IL, 1892,
when he landed on one of the Ba-
hama islands, which he named San
Salvador. Long before that time a
Chinese Buddhist monk, one Hoei-
Shin, is supposed to have visited
Mexico. And in $50 A. D. a band Of
Norsemen was driven ashore on
what is now known as Iceland, and
two Of their number are said to
have reached Nova Scotia, and final
ly landed on the New England coast
along the Charles river, near Cam
bridge, Mass. Much later, in ITO,
Welshmen are believed to have
landed on this continent. But the
discovery of the New world dates
from the voyage Of Columbus.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. North
Africa, Jan. IA CUPD-French in
fantry attacked mountain passes
25 miles northwest of Kairouan in
northeastern TuniSia and cleared
several pockets of axis troops, it
was said today.
The French force which has been
reported making steady gains this
week, also captured additional pass
eSon a road running southeast OF
Kairouan toward the coast.
The Kairouan area is particularly
important because it is only 80
miles southwest of the axis vital
supply and reinforcement port of
SouSSe.
ITALIANS TRAPPED
An Italian pocket of resistance
was encircled b. the French two
days ago, an Allied spokesman said
In the final assault, the French
captured 30 Italians and killed the
rest of the enemy force, whose size
was not revealed.
In this action the French also
captured guns and materiel.
The French advance was made
under difficult conditions as the
mountains at some places rise to
5000 feet. The attackers were aided
greatly by artillery placed on STRAIT
egic heights to give the infantry
men protection while they method
ically wiped out axis strong points.
HARD TASK
Allied quarters here warned, how
ever, that the French still faced
a hard task in attacking German
positions northwest OF Kairouan.

LONDON, Jan. 14-CUP)-The
GClmans admitted today that the
allies had attacked strongly on
tiiree sectors Of the Tunisian front.
A German official news agency
dispatch, broadcast by radio Ber-
lin, said strong French forces had
attacked Axis positions on a wide
front in several places among the
mountains of south central Tun-
lSia.
"On the southern sector of the
front, fighting continued Wednes-
LAY evening and increased this
morning." the dispatch said. How
ever, an attack against the north

forces failed, though carried out
with strong tank support"

OFFENSIVE MARGIN
The steady ascent of American
and British air power was giving
the Allies an offensive edge that
may enable them to smash the last

facility that the Eighth Army
