LONDON, Jan. 4.-French
forces, effectively backed by
United States anti-tank gunners
and planes, hurled back heavy
Axis armored attack yesterday
southeast of Pichon and cap
tured both German and Italian
prisoners, dispatches from Allied
headquarters in North Africa
announced today.
Correlated with this action were
two raids by American airmen, fly
ing light bombers and fighters,
against Axis armored equipment
concealed about the port of Sousse,
some so miles to the east, in which
half q dozen tanks were destroyed
or burned and many others were
damaged.
Drawing bad weather, the flyers
struck with bombs, cannon and ma
chine guns. One Lockheed P-38
was lost, but the pilot got down
safely.
Growing Air Power.
It was spectacular followup to
Q great display of growing Allied
air power in Tunisia at the week
end in which American and British
planes shot down % enemy aircraft,
damaged "a others and battered
Axis supply bases.
French infantry, motorized cav
airy, some artillery and anti-tank
units bore the brunt of the German
Italian thrust in the region of Foul
douk, southeast of Pinchon. The
French commander cited American
anti-tank crews and planes for their
support.
It was the first reference to Amer
lean troops in action in that i'm
mediate area, although United States
forces were known previously to have
moved into the southern reaches of
the French protectorate.
Other Developments.
Elsewhere there were these de-
velopments aground:
/. Tank-supported Allied units
made reconnaissance patrols both
southeast and northeast of Medjez-
El-Bab, IS miles southwest of Tunis.

6 miles from its base and to the

'Mojor Victory
At Mozdok Hailed
By Russians
BY HENRY c. CASSIDY,


MOSCOW, Jan. 4.-The Red
Army of the Caucasus advanced
along both banks of the Terek
River today, driving the Ger
mans back to the northwest and
west from newly recaptured MOI
dok and breaking a salient which
the Nazi forces had thrust for
ward more than four months ago
toward the Grozny oil fields,
Russian reports said.
The swift Russian recapture yes
terday of Mozdok and Malgobek, Is
miles southeast of Mozdok, was con-
sidered major victory like the VIC
tories of Stalingrad and velikie
Luki, where the Red Army contin-
ued its offensives.
The German lines appeared to
be crumbling in the most important
sectors, the Russians said, as the
Nazi command stiffened resistance
at some points only to be hit at
others by the hard-driving Red
Army.
More Villages Taken.
Several more unspecified villages
were reported taken northwest and
west of Mozdok since the recapture
Of the city.
The next major Russian objective
appeared to be Prokhladnenski,
which is a railroad junction for
lines running east and west and
south and lies IS miles west of MOI
dok. The reoccupation of Prokh-
ladnenski would cut of the German
forces at Nalchik, now under at
tack from the southeast.
Winter rains have broken the
terrain and made the Caucasus
campaign slower than the drive
across the Don steppes, but the
entire German position in the
heart of the North Caucasus
already imperiled by the Russian
push south from Stalingrad-now
appeared in greater danger from
frontal assaults.
The Red Army launched its at
tack on ModZok from a village q
short distance to the east, where the
Germans autumn offensive in that
direction was checked, dispatches
said.
..- Only 70 Houses Remain.
A Pravda dispatch, describing the
fury OF the fighting in this region
said that Of $500 houses originally
standing in the village only 10 re-
manned. OF the cattle and poultry
In the village, only one chicken and
one calf survived.
The Germans still showed nc
signs Of withdrawing from the en-
dangered advanced points, main
tanning fierce resistance on all Sec
tors under attack.
South OF Stalingrad they concen-
trated tanks, artillery, cavalry ano

Miss Hooley is a very charm
ing woman who looks far younger
and prettier than her pictures
show. Perhaps it is her warm
smile, her low, well-modulated
voice. Perhaps she feels, too, as
does Mrs. Hobby, who answered
when we asked her why she never
smiled for photograph when
she was so much prettier when
she smiled, that this is a serious
job and she wants her pictures
to make her look that way.

The Memorial Day week end is
being observed rather quietly in all
parts of lower Montgomery County
with the possible exception of the
area near the Glen.
Out in that part of the county
where the residents have a distinct
community life of their own, nearly
every family has a guest or two who
have come out for the annual
Hunter Trial Horse Show.
The Hunter Trials will get under
way before o'clock, but before they
start the Glen residents are holding
a picnic party at Col. Semmes' place
The Memorial Day Hunter Trials
have been held each year for nearly
10 years and in other years this
event has been staged for local
charity. This year so many OBJ
stacles presented themselves that
give 1t up but rather than break a
precedent after 10 years they de-
cided to give the show and make it
purely neighborhood affair and to
get as much pleasure out of it as
they could. After several days of
making and remaking the arrange
ments for the days events. they
changed the name from Hunter
Trials to trials and tribulations.
No automobiles are to be allowed
on the grounds of Col. Semmes'
place during the day. Guests are
to be met along the highways lead
ing to the Glen and taken over to
the Kennels in farm wagons. The
show is to be started early in order
to allow the exhibitors and guests
to leave early, and the days events
are to be carried out with the
simplicity of a generation ago.
Nearly all the out-of- e-neigh-
borhood guests at today's party at
the Glen came out from town yes

they could get ride and remained
over night.
