MONTGOMERY PLANNING

Allies Continue to Pursue
Fleeing Axis Around
Kasserine Pass
By VIRGIL PTNKLEY

UNITED Press Staff COrrespdondensk
Allied Headquarters, North
Africa, February 81. -- (UPl
- Marshal Erwin Ronmels
withdrawing his defeated
troops in southern and CEN
trail Tunisia, has made q
series of quick jabs against
Allied lines In the northern
sector in an attempt to cut
the communication lines Of
the British First Army Fighting
continues, but so far the Germans
have been held in check, an Allied
headquarters communique indicated
today. n
More than 400 Axis prisoners have
been captured, and In one attack
seven German tanks were destroyed
for the loss OF one British tank In
the northern fighting.
The Axis attacSs occurred around
Djebel Mansour, Bou Arada and
south Of Medjez FL Bah.
In the south-centraI area around
the Kasserine Pass, the Allies con-
tinue to pursue fleeing Axis forces
which were attempting TO escape
from the consequences OF their de~..
feat iE q three-day battle.
The British Eight Army, threat
ening the Germans from the souths
increased Its pressure when adj
vanced elements established posi-
tons Immediately south OF the
Mareth Line. There was no serious
opposition and II appeared that tiz#
time was drawing closer when Cell
eral Sir Bernard l.. Montgomery
would be ready to throw q grand
assault against the Axis forces.
There was no confirmation thas
Rommels troops had abandoned
Kasserine town and Its surrounding
villages, but the general trend oz
the Axis movements was to retreat
In that section. There were some
reports that Romrnel planned to
move back into the hills ON the
east side Of the Ousseltia valley.
Allied pilots were active over Oh
most the entire front. Fighter
planes destroyed an enemy locoino4
tive near Tozeur. In the south
light and medium bombers contin-
ued attacks on Gabes, the Mareth
line and enemy landing grounds.
Bombers set one ship afire III an
attack on q convoy north Of Sicily.
and hits were made on the docks
industrial buildings, railroad yards
and airfields at Cagliari. Sardinia
BomberS also attacked the docks 40
BiEerte on the night Of February
1926.
"Allied forces continued to fol-
low up the enemy in the area north
Of Kasserine," the communiqua
said. THE lull In the northern sec
tor was broken yesterday by series
Of enemy attacks In the area Of
Djebel Mansour, Bou Arada atio
south Of Medjez Ell Bah. all Of which
were successfully repulsed by Aliied
forces.
I'm the Mateur-Beja valley, about
Is miles northeast Of Beia. there
also was an enemy attack supporte0
by tanks.

what is not commonly known, !"
Mr. Epstein said, "is that humid
reds of thousands of Jews in
France as well as in Poland are
managing to live in hiding. AL
tnOugh hiding a Jew is punishable
by death, the non-Jews are run
ming this risk to help the victims
Of the common enemy"
Mr.. Epstein pointed out that in
Poland many of the younger refu-
gees have formed Guerilla bands
and are heroically resisting the
invader.
"The situation in Poland differs
from that in France" he further
explained. '"The Jews in Poland
who are gathered there from all
over Europe are divided into
three groups. There are the
strong males, who are forced into
slave labor on the Eastern front
and in factories. Then there are
the ghetto Jews. Thirdly, there
are those who have been FORUM
ate enough to find hiding place
in the woods or wherever it is.
In hiding, the jew has the best
chance to exist. And if we are
able to give him support there is
a strong chance that great
many will be able to survive. The
Jewish underground reports that
thousands of Jewish lives are be-
ing saved in this manner"
Because of the feeling which is
