 With American Armored Forces in Kasserine Valley, Feb. 2S-(UP)-- (Delayed) - Begrimed, unshaven American soldiers who had chased Axis forces from the approaches of Thala to the mouth of Kasserine Pass leaned against their tanks to- day and rejoiced at the "bloody nose" the Germans and Italians had got. ..ts
 They told how American artillery massed on the lower slopes oi Djebel Hamra and the northern end of the plain fired hundreds of shells at the enemy, while the tankmen added their 75 nm guns to the bar rage.
 Sgt. William Williams, 25, said American tanks fired all day yes- terday, with enemy shells bursting around them.
 Bundled in woolen knitted scarf under his steel helmet, Williams had stood with his head out of the turret, directing fire.
 "These 88 nm shells were whiz- zing past so low ducked like l was doing setting up exercises, but our General Grant wasn't hit," he said.
 Pvt. Presley Hornsby, of Grays, Ky, said the shooting around the Harlan coal mines never was like what he had seen in Kasserine val ley.
 We did plenty of fighting around Harlan" he said, "but they sure

play rougher here. Back there we only shot revolvers and rifles, but down here yesterday those shells were bursting around like rain on a tin roof"
 Tank and artillery fighting went on until around 9 p. m. Allied bombers returned to action then in the light of a rising moon and for three hours dumped bombs into the pass.
 "They kept going over us in groups for hours" Pvt. Francis Painter, an infantryman, said. "As soon as one group came back, aHl- other went over. It sounded mighty good to us."
 Kitchen trucks that dashed out on the plain after dark with hot meals were an even more pleasing sight to American soldiers than an- other Axis position being blown up. Artillery was still roaring when the trucks pulled up. Tank crews had gone into action during the early morning, and their crews didn't dare get out until after dark.
 The food trucks delivered hot meals right to the tanks.
 "That's one time the kitchen crew really worked fast" Sgt. Frank Bonady, commander of Sherman tank, said. "You should have seen them beat 1t back as soon as they had finished"
 When the fighting died down, they crawled from their tanks and rolled up in blankets beside the treads.
 One tank crew, including Corp Tom Middowski, of Chicopee, Mass was under fire for l2 hours.
 Lieut.. James Curry, commander of a medium tank platoon, said hi tanks had fired at German tanks at @ range of 1,500 yards, and ht was certain they had got at leas' one direct hit.
 Bonady, whose tank was ii Curry,s platoon said, "Tell the peo. pie back home that we are havinl fun, but remind them that this iI no honeymoon or picnic"

The shark--feared by surf bath CTS, but @ tnoney-Inaker for fisher men-has fallen victim of the hun gry gourmets who frequent fash- ionable restaurants to satisfy their meat-starved palates.
 Evidence of the widespread de- sire for the newest tabletop deli cacy shows on the shipping records of Shark Industries, Inc, which packs and moves from 5000 to l0,- 900 pounds of shark meat a week to eating establishments in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis.
 Claim It's "DeIlclous"
 The thought of eating horse flesh, muskrat and rattlesnake meat has long been giving many a food connoisseur indigestion. But those who have tried 1t say it tastes pretty good"
 Shark steak eaters claim the fish tastes delicious"
 Tt hasn't much flavor and needs seasoning, but the recipes take care of that" one shark-eater said. "1t's a pure white meat and entirely boneless. If you like fish you'll like shark"
 Until meat and fish prices hit the ceiling, the Ynan-eaters were con- sidered only for their flyers, which are rich in vitarnin A, and for their hides as leather goods.

Bridgeport Health Official Sends Letter Supporting

Bridgeport's health officer ack- nowledgement in letter submit ted by Rep. John Membrino (D- Waterbury, at the legislative public
 health committee hearing today stated that an error had been made in that city in recording the birth of Marian Frances Zibell of Water bury. The birth certificate was filed in Bridgeport and records her as a "male'' and presents her name as George Francis zeibel." It was noticed that her last name was spelled incorrectly, as is the middle name and the first name on the birth certificate is that of her fath- CT, George Harry zibell.".
 The bill was introduced by Rep. Memhrino to authorize the Bridge port registrar of vital statistics to correct the errors in Miss Zibells birth certificate as recorded in Bridgeport. He also revealed that the recorded certificates has her fathers and mothers names mis- pelled. The fathers correct name is George Harry, but is listed as George William. The mothers name Is Ida Frances but is also incorrect ly written on the certificate as Frances Ida.
 Rep. Membrino displayed the ari- swer which he had received from pr. Frank Tukey. who filed the certificate when Miss Zlbeu was born. The answer. written by the doctors wife. stated that pr. Tukey was too Al to r7piy now "0r ct any future time" 10 eves. to assist In correcting the error. It was also re- vealed that Dr. Tukey had filed the certificate with the director of vital statistics .io days after Miss zibell was born, which was the likely req son for the confused report.
 The letter from the Bridgeport heaIth officer, who acknowledged tho error, stated he was helpless to correct t unless the legislature passed a bill authorizing him. me lady ln question Is now Mrs. George Hailoway, he a1oed, having recently married Q member ok the couniFv'e armed forces, However, unless the record ig corrected. ahe wlll be unable to oenlga ans allQW~

But now sharks are much in de- mand. The first thing fishermen do with sharks when they catch them is to remove the fins, which are considered an Oriental delicacy in the form of shark-fin soup. Next, they strip of the hide, cut out the liver and slice the choice parts for shark steak, flllet and creole dishes. The remainder of the fierce fish is ground up into feed for cattle and chickens.
 R. M. French, ST., president of Shark Industries, Inc, with head- quarters in Hialeah, Fla, said his fleet of fishermen catch an average of 40 to 50 fish day. Some days the catch may run as high as 70 and the next drop to 10.
 He said sharks have been known to attack a man when the fish be- come hungry. But, he added, there has been only Q few such cases in Florida waters. Tn other parts of the world the shark Is known as the most dangerous fish.

POST WAR PLANS FORUM SUBJECT
Nations Nuts Make Free dom From Want Reality
 to Avoid Future Wars

Unless the United Nations plan @ postwar program designed to eliminate the poverty which pre- vails in many countries of the world, war will eventually come again, Dr. Hartley w. Cross, pro- lessor of economies at Springfield college told the audience last night, at the final forum of @ program series sponsored by the YMCA at the Women's club. Dr. Cross spoke on "The United States and Its Re- responsibilities for World Order"
 Agreement on principles of per- soral freedom and economic security for all peoples must be reached by the United Nations if future wars are to be averted, the speaker said. Sacrifice of national sovereignty, he said, is necessary for the common good.
 pr. Cross said there is a striking parallel in inequality here in our own country, where the negro popu- lation, willing to accept lower pay, constitutes & threat to the security of organized white workers.
 He advocated control over both industry and organized labor as Q means of raising the standard of living all over the world, and Q form of population control for countries like Japan, India. Java and Burma. Dr. Cross warned against 8 repeti- ton of what happened to Wood row Wilson whose ideas "were ahead of his time."
 Following the program, Arthur DuBois, director of employment at the scovill Mfg. O., stressed the need of the twill to win" and said that we were ten years behind the Axis in preparation for war. Her. bert s. Smith of the "" conducted 8 question and answer period and William A. Carpenter led the group in community singing.
