rope more precise even than the
Atlantic Charter was expected
soon in the official declaration on
the outlook of the American-Brit-
ish-Soviet conference. British
newspapers said the communique
would disclose an agreement for
attacks on Hitler's Fortress Eu-
rope from the east, west and
south.
A disclosure at last that their
talks with Chang took place in
the Mena Hotel suggested that
Roosevelt and Churchill might
have stopped there again on their
trip from Teheran and then start
ed home. The prime minister is
expected to report with foreign
secretary Anthony Eden in Com
mons on the greatest two weeks
of Allied discussions Of the war.
The German news agency DNB
said it was not unusual for Inonu
to meet Roosevelt since the Amer
lean President happened to be so
near Turkey and it added that no
change in Turkish foreign policy
was expected.
But the Germans said that mo
nu was accompanied by human
Menemencioglu, Turkish foreign
minister, and the general secre-
tary of the Turkish foreign min
istry.
Turkeys eventual entry into the
war - thereby affording the Al
lies new air and sea bases for op-
erations in the Black Sea, the
Balkans and the Mediterranean -
was thought by some to have been
increasingly possible since Meme
mencioglu conferred with Eden af
ter the latter's confereice in Mos
COW with U. S. Secretary of State
Cordell Hull and Soviet oFreigr
Commissa4 Vyacheslav Molotov
Since the Moscow conference
cleared the political field for the
big three meeting at Teheran
the British foreign office presum
ably was able to give the Turks
any reassurances regarding theil
neighbor Russia that the Turks
may have sought. 1t may equally
be assumed that the British for
eign office was able to presen
Russia's attitude toward Turke,
and inform Inonu of consideration
involved in any drive against Ger

REDUCTIONS LOOM
ON CANNED FOODS
New Point Values for April
TO Be Announced Next
Sunday

Washington, March 23-(UP)-
Point rationing Of canned foods has
worked SO well that substantial re-
auctions in point values will be pos
sible next month.
The new point values for April
were expected to be announced next
Sunday. The biggest cuts, 1t was
understood, will be made in canned
fruits and fruit juices, particularly
larger sized cans which have been
virtually immobilized on grocery
store shelves this month. Such
items as No. 3 cans of pineapple
juice and tomato juice cost 80 out of
a monthly total of 48 points allotted
to each consumer. A No. 3 can Of
pineapples is valued at 81 points.
Other high-point items which
probably will be cut are canned
grapefruit, pears, peaches, pineap-
piles, berries and fruit salad.
Low-point items which have sold
well, including canned vegetables
and soups, probably will remain un-
changed or may be moved slightly
upwards.

UNEASINESS BETRAYED
BY AXIS in TUNISIA
Free French Radio Ayers
Allied African Offensive
Now Underway
BY UNITED PRESS

(Undated) - The Axis
betrayed uneaSineSs as to its
future in Africa today as re-
ports reached Madrid that
Adolf Hitler already had
written Tunisia off as lost
and was demanding that
Marshal Erwin Rommel'S
Afrika KorpS emulate the
German army that was de-
stroyed and captured at
Stalingrad.
AS Free French radios carried to
the people of Metropolitan France
the news that the about Allied
offensive to drive the Axis out Of
Africa was underway, the Nazi
Paris radio apparently began "ex-
planning" the expected Allied vic
tory.
1.-THE Allies are in q hurry" the
Paris radio said, adding that "both
in London and Washington there Is
no doubt about an Allied victory"
The Axis, he said, Knows the fight
win he hard" which means, he con-
tined, that zone must wait for news
that Is definite"
An ironic note was given to the
Madrid dispatches that Hitler had
demanded the ultimate In vaIor and
sacrifice Of Ronlrnel ana his men by
the mystery radio station, "Gustav
Siegfried Ems" which claims to
broadcast from inside Germany I'M
der control Of high German army
officers who are ardently pro-Ger-
man but bitterly anti-Nazl.
Rommel, It asserted, already was
preparing to flee Tunisia on the al
legation that Hitler hadn't provided
sufficient troops and material.
"Gustave Siegfried Ems" never hav-
ing liked Rommel, characterized him
today as "big mouth.
The Madrid dispatches said Hit
Ter had dispatched his "final" or
ders to Rommel, commanding in
South Tunisia, and Gen. Juergen
Won Arnim in the north, which were
that they were to stand to the last,
as had "the sacred sixth army" at
Stalingrad. He told them, the dis
patches said, that he felt he could
count on the, valor Of the Afrika
Korps." The dispatches were said
to have originated in Vichy.

NY. BLACKOUT
VERY UNUSUAL
Test Drill Begins at ASS
A. M; Deserted Streets
Break for Wardens

New York, March 23s--(uP)--
Hundreds Of thousands Of New
Workers were jerked out Of their
sleep by wailing air raid sirens early
today, leaped out Of bed onto chilled
floors, ran to their radios and
heard: "Do not be alarmed. This Is
Q test black out drill.
It was fulflllment Of Mayor r. n.
LaGuardia's promise Of something
unusual" In the way Of blackout
and air raid drills. All previous ones
had been in the evening while resi-
dents were up to turn out house
lights and rush to shelters II In the
streets. This one started at 1855
q. m, when the sirens shrieked the
''blue" signal, notifying the public
that enemy planes were approach
ing.
Instantly, lights snapped on in
apartment houses and hotels which
had been utterly blacked-out be.
cause their residents were in bed.
The whistles Of air raid wardens
shrilled up and down every block
and in every areaway and the lights
quickly went out again.
The wardens, together with police,
had rushed into deserted streets
when they were notified just before
the blue" Aside from footing at
the lights and shooing an occasional
burgher in pajamas and dressing
gown wanting to know what 1t was
all about, back indoors, they had
nothing to do.
There was practically no traffic
In the streets and only AN occa-
siodial pedestrian. Street lights
went out in groups.
In view Of LaGuardia's warning,
frequently reiterated in the past
several weeks since there had been o
test during the evening hours. that
something unusual was scheduled,
residents had anticipated O display
Of searchlights, fleets Of Army
planes flying over, perhaps drop
ping dummy bombs, and anti-air-
craft guns firing blank ammunition.
But the usualness turned out to
be only the hour the test was called.
There were no planes overhead, no
searchlights, no gunfire.
The preliminary "blue" signal was
succeeded at $40 q. m. by the
"red" signal, meaning enemy planes
were directly overhead, and the
sirens walled again. It endured un.
til $40 a. m. when the sirens sig
nailed a return to the ''bIue." mean
ing tina the enemy planes had been
driven of but remained in the vicin-
ity. Radio stations announced the
all clear at 5:20-h.

to have immediate reference to their

and those stations on the air when
