ALLIED HEADQUART ERS
IN NORTH AFRICA, April %
-(P)-The British Eighth Army
has captured .Takrouna and
pushed six miles from Enfida-
vile toward Bou Ficha in twin
drives northward and the British
First Army has stabbed ahead
three miles against stubborn
Axis resistance in the Bou Arada
sector on the Western Tunisian
front, it was announced today.
(These gains aground where
coupled with aerial action dur
ing which kittyhawks and Spit
fires shot down every one of
twenty six-engined Messer-
schmitt 323S, some carrying
troops and others laden with
freight, and ten of their escort
ing fighters encountered over
the Gulf of Tunis.)
MIGHTY CARRIERS
The G. n MesSerschmitt
transports, which dwarf such
carriers as the Junkers SIS up
on which Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel has relied largely for
reinforcements and supplies, are
designed to carry 100 soldiers or
almost 10 tons of cargo.
In all. 80 Axis planes were
shot DOWN during the day,
against an announced loss of five
Allied aircraft.
The battle with the trans
ports, regarded here as the most
important stroke against enemy
supply lines since the start Of
war. lasted less than 10 min
utes. Flames burst from many
of the great carriers as they were
hit by the fighter bursts. All the
transports and the 10 fighters
dropped in the :. arkling gulf,

peared to be carrying gasoline.
Troops who broke clear of the
wreckage were seen struggling
in the water.
HEAVY ACTION
The ground action again was
on a large scale.
Lieut.. Gen. K. A. N. Anderson
attacked on nine-mile front
from Goubellat and Bou Arada,
south of Medjez-El- Bah, and
pushed eastward three miles to
tighten the pressure upon the
Germans and Italians seeking to
hold positions along the Grand
Dorsal range TO protect ROM
mels right and rear. Resistance,
however, was described as stub
born.
Gen. Sir Bernard Montgom-
ery's weather bronzed fighters,
after hours of bayonet and gren-
ade fighting, were securely
astride the two roads which lead
from captured Enfidaville north
ward, one inland and the other
a coastal route.
