 to Be Trapped

 ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Feb. 24.--Ameri- can and British forces after a bit- ter three-day battle, have hurled Marshal Erwin Rommel's floodtide of armored forces back to the mountains through the Kasserine Gap in central Tunisia. Under hail of bursting bombs from hun dreds of planes, the German chief tain is in full retreat, field reports said. Hs After his tanks had surged to within three miles of Thala, key road of the junction to the upper plains of Kremansa, Rommel's bat tered armored forces are reported attempting to make a stand only three miles from the mouth of the visiting gap from which he sallied n his attempts to crack the AL lied front.
 Drops Back IA Miles
 Rommel was thus forced to drop back at least IA miles from the nigh water mark of his advance toward Thala, 25 miles north of Kasserine Kasserine Pass is five or six miles long and northwest of Kasserine Rommel is still 53 or. 4 miles west of the starting point
  of his offensive from Faid Pass, however.
 Italians Trapped
 A Reuters dispatch from Allied headquarters said that a battalion of about 1000 Italians was trapped in another pass leading toward Si- liana about 70 miles northeast of Kasserine, French Moroccan troops let the Italians enter the pass and then closed in while Scottish reg iment blocked the other exit.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert S Alien on active duty)

WASHINGTON Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker really has any presi- dential ambitions, they have al- ready been tarnished by his sup porters.
 Huey Longs old protege, rootin'- tootin' rabblerouser Gerald K. Smith, has now come out for Rick enbacker for President, which is the kiss of death for almost any one.
 Also some of the Chicago America First crowd who tried to boom I4indbergh are now grooming Rick enbacker behind the scenes. Rick enbacker himself was an isolation ist, testified against various war bills before Congress, but admitted his errors immediately after Pearl HarbOr.

SAYS REPORT CONTAINED
ERROR

The recent letter to the Libby
mayor, published in your paper,
gave the impression that the milk
retailers of the community were re-
sponsible for the typhoid fever
which formerly ragged for 30 years
in Libby. These milk producers
were entirely exonerated of blame
nearly 10 years ago by the State
Board of Health after extensive
tests.
Everyone living in Libby at the
time knows that the city pasteuriza-
ton ordinance of 1929 did not stop
the typhoid. That event occurred
only when the Board of Health stop
ped the carrier from handling all
kinds of food.
The final eradication was brought
about in 1884 when there were a
number of cases in Libby, some of
which resulted in death. A Libby
citizen, after trying for some time,
finally succeeded in placing a writ
ten report of the bungled Libby ty-
phoid situation in the hands of
the surgeon general of the United
States who was asked to investi-
gate He wrote the State Board of
Health requesting a full report
Result: A Board of Health doctor
visited Libby and announced that
he had come to put an end to the
typhoid for all time. He stayed
about a week and definitely made
the carrier stop handling food. Re-
sult-no more typhoid. A Libby cit
izen has letters from the surgeon
general to prove this.
