WASHINGTON, May 6 - tR)
Director Elmer Davis of the
Office of War Information said
today there is mo question but
that there will be allied opera
tons on continental Europe this
summer.
Davis, asked whether allied
forces could clean up North At
RIGA soon enough to permit in
vasion of the continent this
year, said he was confident they
could.
However, he .dded, it might
be necessary to leave a pocket
of axis resistance at Bizerte to
be reduced by sustained pound
ing even while the continental
operations are under way. The
big naval base of Bizerte al
ready is within heavy artillery
range of American and French

Davis gave these opinions in
