across Libya and Tripolitania, has for
the most part moved into Tunisia also.
The Axis holds strip of Tunisia about
300 miles long and from 80 to 100 miles
across. Their whole operation is CEN
tered on Bizerte at the north. The prin-
cipal potential points of conflict are at
the Madjez-el-Bab area, Pont du Fahs,
Faid Pass. Sened and MaknaSSy and the
Mareth Line
While TuniSia is quiet, activity to in
sure victory in Tunisia is great. Last
week brought the establishment of an
organized command for the African
battle, composed of American and Brit
ish officers. Gen. Eisenhower, who COM
manded the North African landings, was
made commander in chief. 1t. Gen. Sir
Harold r. l.. G. Alexander was named
deputy in command of ground forces
east of Algiers-American British and
French; he was commander in Egypt and
the superior of 1t. Gen. Sir Bernard
Montgomery, the chief of the 9Th Army.
Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cunning
ham was made naval commander and
Air Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder was
named air commander
Montgomery remains responsible to
Alexander, and 1t. Gen. K. A. N. Ander-
son, head of the 1st British Army also
becomes responsible to Alexander. An
derson's forces are those fighting near
Blzerte. Anderson in turn is given COM
mand over the American Army Corps
in Tunisia led by Maj. Gen. Lloyd r.
Fredendal, the American division under
Maj. Gen. Charles w. Ryder and the
French units under Gen. Louis Koeltz.
The tactical execution of the air opera
tions planned by Marshal Tedder is put
up to Maj. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, who
becomes deputy chief of staff for the air
commander of American and British
forces in the North African theater.

"On the offensive side in U-boat war
fare, the rate of killing of U-boats has
steadily improved. From January to
October, 1912, inclusive, the rate of sink

best we had seen so far this war.
From November to the present date the
three months rate has improved more
than half as much again. At the some

what the government alleges
IL technically true, State Po-

said. I'VE failed to complete all
OF the paper work required by

up by the FEC.
However, the twO-way radio
system was ordered by the Leg

sion as definite war emer-

more important To the war ef-
fort to get the system I'm oper-
alton than 10 wait for the COM
pletiOn of the various forms"
Arthur A. Gladstone, Washing
ton attorney for the FEC, said
the state police radio had bee1
before it was given 8call
letters"
DANGEROUS PRACTICE
I'VE monitor all stations and
the very nature of police calls
lend themselves to the transmits
sion of code" he said. This il
very dangerous practice and IL
Is our aim to impress state Of
ficiaIs with the seriousness of
operating without a license"
Gladstone said il was within
the power of the FEC TO ask fell
ony warrants against violatorS
but in this case. the result would
be a warning. Testimony

SAYS EUROPE SHOULD ADOPT
 9TH FREEDOM

Evanston, H., June - (UPD- Adoption of uniform European currency. abolition of all trade bar riers and customs tariffs within Eu- rope and permission for any Euro pean citizen to emigrate to any country on the continent to work were advocated by Northwestern University professor of economics pr. Paul Haensel as the best meth ods of eliminating the chief causes of Europe's wars.
 Haensel. 65, who is scheduled for retirement as professor emeritus from Northwestern in 1943, has taught at the University since 1930.
 "The Allies must recognize" he said, that no matter what nations or boundaries are restored or ere ated, the Europe of the future must not be divided into separate economic units.
 After the war Europe will have most of her industry destroyed or worn out and her former economic relations uprooted. A new life will begin and 1t must be based upon the principle of free trade between all nations on the European conti- nent outside of Russia. Russia would be excluded from this condi- ton since it would be incompatible with her fundamental economic system"
 In foreign trade with other coun- tries, the European nations must adopt the policy of low tariffs, not over 20 per cent ad valorem, Haen- Sel stressed.
 Tn establishment of free trade system would be simplif1ed by the creation of uniform European currency, he said.
 "The most advisable form would be the so-called glamor or ozgold currency which is based on the unit of one metric gram or of one troy ounce of fine gold" he explained.
 Haensel recommended that in ad- dition to adopting the four free doms of the Atlantic Charter, Eu- ropean nations add a fifth free dom, namely the freedom and right to emigrate from the country of birth and allegiance"
 This freedom, he said, would in- volve the right of travel without passport visas and to engage in any industry or profession on equal terms for all citizens of any Euro pean country everywhere within the European boundaries.

 IN 3-ALARM FIRE
Worcester Loss Set at $4O,OOO; Many RatiOned
 FOOdstuffs Destroyed

Worcester, Mass, June 4.-(UP)- Thirty -one firemen were injured ol felled by smoke and 25 guests were evacuated from a nearby hotel early today when a three alarm fire swept a building housing Brockelmar Brothers market and several profes- sional offices. Loss was set al $40, ,000.
 The blaze started in a second floor store room in the tfree-story build- ing and was discovered by night foreman William C. Rogers, one of 10 persons employed in the bakery operated by the market.
 Rogers warned others in the build ing and sounded an alarm that brought flremen to the scene.
 Flames blenched from the win doWs of the terra cotta building and threatened the Hotel Kenmore from which guests fled in night clothing
 Huge supplies of sugar and coffee as well as other rationed foodstuffs were destroyed by flames or dam- aged by the tons of water that was poured on the blazing structure be- fore the fire could be controlled.
 Fireman Frank Chapin was hos pitalized with injuries sustained when struck by section of the roof as it collapsed.
 Other firemen were treated at the scene for burns, cuts or smoke in- halation. Vice-President Anton Brockelman of the market corpora ton sustained severe leg injuries when he fell over a hose while hast ening to the scene from his home.

says the Golfers article. Around Westport, war material Is being fashioned by mothers, shut-ins and women working in their own homes. Tn Guilford, there's an organization called the Guilford Wartime Indus tries; it puts scores of oldsters to work at ligho m, ,.nufacturing jobs and some jobs that aren't so light"
 And here's just few of the hun dreds of thousands turning out Connecticut's war materials; whose pictures appear in the magazine.
 Despite illness Mrs. Michael ESpo- sito of Saugatuck kept up with her war industry in bed, putting togeth- CT intricate parts to go into war inn plements-work which requires trained hands and the ability to concentrate.
 Although blind in one eye, sixty three-year-old Mrs. Jenny Patchen of Saugatuck manages to help along the war by doing homework in ad- dition to running her house.

 London, June 4-(UP)-The ma neuvers of French leaders at AL giers are being watched with great attention here because of implica- tions connected with the eventual Allied invasion of France.
 Disputes between Gen. Charles DeGaulle and Gen. Henri Giraud are regarded as foreshadowing eX- actly the type of disputes expected to break out in France in the wake of an Allied invasion, except that in France the situation will be in- tensified by natural desire of French patriots for revenge against Vichy collaborationists.
 It is regarded as natural there fore that the British foreign office and the American state department as well as British and American military officials should pay the closest attention to the DeGaulle- Giraud maneuvers.
 American and British representa- tives are believed to be advising both DeGaulle and Giraud, espe- cially emphasizing the need to keer any arguments within the family rather than splitting into opposing camps, each of which would appeal to the French people for support So far as has been announced this work is being handled by Robert Murphy for the United States and Harold MacMillan for Britain.
 MacMillan recently returned tc North Africa from London, where he presumably was given the latest developments in British policy by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden The Allies apparently have sought to avoid direct intervention but pre- sumably would intervene rather than permit serious crisis to de- velop.
 It is perhaps significant that spec ulation already has started regard ing the possibility that the United States will name new representa- tive, accredited to the unified French committee, This might be likely because Murphy has been SC

 Whether the British have simi- lar plan in mind is unknown. It is known, however, that Eden discused the French situation at length with President Roosevelt in Washington and it is assumed Prime Minister Winston Churchill did the same. There have been number of occa- sions when to outward appearances the British and American policy showed considerable divergence re- garding the French but it is be- lieved that this divergence does not exist at high leveis.
