yesterday afternoon because of the fear of hitting friendly troops.
 The Germans and Italians south west of the peninsula are herded in a circular area which is only about Is miles in diameter. This area is being given severe punish ment by air forces and wells troops but the communique said that the lack of suitable targets indicated the approaching end of the ail battle over Tunisia"
 While many Germans are still at large on Cap Bon's inland noun tains, they are mostly service, re- pair and maintenance personnel who are not interested in the light ing. The total of prisoners is ex- pected to pass the 100000 mark when a completed count for the area has been made. The Second U. s. Army Corps report for tocay shows that the Americans, French Free Corps and Moroccan Goum- iers have taken 37,998 prisoners, of whom B, ,498 were Germans.
 An Italian communique said General Giovanni Messe, command CT of the First Italian Army on Cap Bon, was reported to have been left on the peninsula. He command ed all the Axis forces in Tunisia It was he who rejected the Allied demand for unconditional surrender when Lieutenant General Freyberg of the New Zealand army offered to let the enemy troops lay down their arms
 Considerable resistance still is be- ing offered by the Germans and Italians in the mountains west of Bou Ficha and north of Enfidaville the Allied communique said, but the mountain struggle no longer is of strategical importance.

Betty Hutton
 IstoCh.ange
 Voice Now
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD Blonde anc boisterous Betty Hutton is in pro- cess of becoming lady, not, she carefully explains, that she thinks she has any particular knack for it. nor because of any deep-Seated yearning for refinement or culture.
 But it's been many year since Betty adopted the acrobatic or catch-as- catch method of put ting over a song and frankly she's afraid it will permanently impair her vocal cords or maybe even un- hinge her trim chassis.
 Betty gained fame, as you know, by tackling a song like a buzz-saw tearing into hardwood log, and some experts have opined that the sound was not dissimilar. It's going to be different now. A director found that Betty, when the mood was upon her, can sing, even bal lad, much like any other singer. She can do it without the gyrations, convulsions and fierce paroxysms that have characterized her past work. She can play romantic scenes, too. She's getting a chance to do it, and she's very happy about it.
 Betty is a practical young lady. You get that way when you start singing on street corners and sal cons for a living when you're IA or so, and on the Paramount lot the other day she said she thinks she's getting the biggest break of her lifetime now that she's CO., starred with Bob Hope in Lets Face It." She gives her director, Sydney Lanfield, credit for detect ing the potentialities beneath the madcap exterior.
 T don't expect to be a great dramatic actress" said Betty, who IS just as beautiful as many actres- ses who are known as beautiful. But I do want to be a competent actress-an all-around actress"
 Bettys outlook on life is a little different than it was 10 years or so ago when she was singing on the bar-room circuit around Lansing. Mich But those experiences influ- enced her viewpoint, as she evil denced when asked what she did in her spare time now that she's up in the money.
 I've never had any spare time" she said, and I don't seem to have any now. I don't particularly want a ranch in the valley No, haven't any special love interest. If you want to say something about me personally you can say I'm a darn good bowler, which I ann
 Betty's mother shared the hard times with her back in Michigan. and when she was trying to get start in New York, and she's shar- ing modest apartment with her now not so far from the studio.
 Most every filmgoer knows about Betty,s earlier life, her travels with Vincent Lopez's orchestra and how she got her big chance on Broad way in Panama Hattie" This being a lady is something new, though.
 But all her friends believe that If the Hutton has made up her mind to be fine lady she'll be the completest, most conscientious alarmed fine lady in these parts.

BY ECON KASKELINE,
In the Christian Science Monitor

Successful bombing of industrial
targets in France and in other occu-
pied territories in Europe apparently
has greatly disturbed the Nazis. The
fact that numerous Frenchmen were
wounded and killed during these at
tacks has been thoroughly exploited
by Nazi propaganda.
German controlled French radio
stations have given dramatic ac-
counts of Allied air raids and have
endeavored to stir up French resent
ment against the Anglo-Saxons. 1t is
significant that the casualties alleg-
eddy suffered by the populations in
the occupied countries were much
higher than those revealed by the
Nazis after considerably stronger air
attacks against German cities.
Marshal Philippe Petain, who
failed to protest against German kill
ing of French hostages and against
the deportations Of French youths to
German labor camps, has also ex-
pressed his indignation about what
he called factions that nothing can
justify"
1t is, however, EXTREMITY doubtful

port the French population under
stands the sad necessity which forces
the Allies to strike at Axis war pro-
duction centers wherever they can
find them. French casualties from AL

victims Of Nazi exploitation of
France.
The Germans have reason to be
greatly upset by the Allied bombing
of French industrial plants working
for Germany. They had hoped senti-
mental and political reasons would
prevent the Allied air forces from
carrying out against industrial tar
gets in occupied Europe attacks which
were bound to cause numerous cas-
ualties among pro-Allied popula-
ton. This belief and the Nazis' COM

A WARNING
By RUTH TAYLOR

For the past two months | have
spent the greater part of my time
travelling and listening. I've heard
such incredible tommyrot talked in
club car after club car, that I've risen
in rebellion at last. 1t is time that
some of the stuff and nonsense put
forth by unwilling Nazi agents be de-
bunked and brought out in the open,
so here are some of the stories | have
heard:
Labor is Matchmaking industry for
higher wages, and sabotaging the
war effort for its personal gain, car
ing nothing about our soldiers being
without weapons" Who are these
soldiers but the sons and brothers of
men who work? Where are our
younger labor leaders but on the fir
ing line? What has been the official
record of Labor on production?
Capital is storing away great
profits from war contracts won at
the expense of the workers" Our tax
laws (Which drain off 80 per cent of
the net income of corporations max
ing more than a certain amount) are
no respecter of industry-and the
Treasury agents, like the Royal
Mounted Police, get their lawbreakers.
The sons of the rich fight shoulder to
shoulder with the sons of the poor in
this war.
"The farmers are taking advantage
of the situation to get high prices"
Whoa, there. Have you, Mr.. Factory
Worker, asked for higher wages re-
Gently? And how would you like to
work fourteen to sixteen hours a day,
seven days a week? (The COWS and
chickens never heard of a five-day
week..
"The Irish are so busy fighting
England, they won't fight Germany"
Have you read the list of heroes re-
Gently? Il did hear one complaint.
An Irish friend of mine said they
didn't have a good choir any more
for five hundred boys from his small
parish had gone to war;.
"The Jews are lodging army duty"
How under Selective Service they
could effect this, they neglect to say
but the real answer to this lie can
be read in any casualty list. (Remem-
Der when you read one that only four
per cent of all Americans are Jews
and that many Jews have names that
are not distinctively Jewish).
"The Negroes are putting pressure
{ on the Government for social equal
ity." What the Negroes want is the
right to fight and die as Americans
/ for the country that is theirs, too.
"The few of every community won't
cooperate in the war effort" Disa-
greement is not disunity. You can't
force a free people to think alike, but
they are all ready to fight alike for
| freedom.
"Our Government is bureaucratic,
its officials parasites" Would you
rather have an autocratic govern
ment? AS for the parasite charge, if
you have been in Washington re-
Gently, you won't be able to imagine
anyone without a keen desire to serve
living there on government pay!
