Allies Ready for FinaI
Africa Fight-E enhoWer

ALLIED H AID @ AR T E r S
North Africa, April II. - CUP)-
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said
today that Allied armies We're
ready for the climatic final phase
of the battle of Tunisia in which
the American Second Army Corps
so far has taken 1880 prisoners, di-
verted $4,000 Axis troops from the
coastal front, and lost 5372 killed
missing and wounded.
Summing up the campaign, Els
enhoWer said at a press conference
that so per cent of Axis supplies en-
route to Tunisia by sea and air had
been sunk and that the campaign
was working out according to
schedule and now our forces are
ready to administer the final
phase"
SUFFER CASUALTIES
Casualties suffered by the Sec
ond Army Corps, under Lieut.. Gen.
George S. Patton. Jr., included 903
killed, 3610 wounded and $50 miss
ing, he said, but the Americans
have achieved much in diverting
crack enemy troops, including the
10th and 2lst panzer divisions from
the coastal sector where the Brit
ish Eighth Army crashed through
enemy defenses.
The second corps damaged or
knocked out SO tanks, of which 80
were definitely destroyed; captur-
ed $50 field pieces, $50 machine
guns, and an enemy dump of As
900 mines and anti-personnel bombs
in the Ell Guettar and Maknassy
sectors, he said
Eisenhower praised the British
commander under Gen. Sir Harold
Alexander, and said that the navy
had carried out vital role with
out fanfare. He said that British
Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham
had informed him that up to two
weeks ago, Allied submarines
mostly BritiSh-in the Mediterran-
can had sunk 100000 tons of
Axis Shipping throughout the war.
The commander explained that
under Alexander's expert direc-
ton the Second Corps was assign
ed the job of forcing Nazi Marshal
Erwin Rommel to pull troops and
material away from the coastal
front.
General Alexander has complete
and absolute charge Of the battle
lines" Eisenhower said. Hts done

Two JoP Vessels
Escape Bombing

possibly two Of the ships in the
convoy and probably crippled two
others Thursday and Friday. Other
bomberS "neutralized" the Japanese
airdromeS at WeWak, preventing
enemy fighters from intercepting
the planes attacking the convoy.
After remaining at Wewak a
maximum of one night. the two
surviving ships steamed out of the
harbor under escort of three war
ships, believed to be a light cruiser,
a destroyer and a gunboat.
HIT 3 SHIPS
Flying FortreSses hit three of the
supply ships in the initial series of
attacks Thursday night. An 5000
tonner was seen to sink, q 5000
tonner was forced to beach and an
other 8,000-tonner was observed
listing rapidly with abe avy oil slick
on the water.
Taking over the offensive Friday,
Consolidated Liberator bombers
scored skip-bomb hits with 1000
pound bombs on the side and deck
OF a third 8,000-ton transport,
after which an internal explosion
lifted the vessel high enough To
expose its rudder. When the shin
came to rest in the water, it began
to list and settle and may have
sunk.
BLAST DUMP
Other Allied bombers Friday blew
UP an ammunition dump and
touched off fires visible for GO
miles at Kaimana, Dutch New
Guinea, strafed barges and small
surface craft in Mainkoor Bav in
the Aroe Islands, 46O miles north
east Of Darwin, and bombed a
town on Timor island.
japanese airdromes were attack
ed at GaSmata and Ubili, New
Britain, and Madang and Lac, New
Guinea.

Editorials and Comment

special freedom bequeathed unto news
paper editors All of which is, obvious
ly, tommyrot and balderdaSh.
Freedom of the press is nothing more
nor less than the right to have things
like this printed so all may see. The
right for everyone to be present and see
and hear what is going on; or have their
emiSsarieS present to report back to those
Interested I'm short, it means freedom
of access to information, to truth and
fact and knowledge.
Public information is public safety.
Take public information away from
America and there would be about as
much democracy as there is in Germany
today.
Newspaper men and radio commen-
tat0rS won't strangle or thirst or starVe
to death because they can't cover the
food conference Goodness only knows
that there's plenty else to write and talk
about.
But the newspaper people are fight
ing against this exclusion because 1t is
an infringement upon the right Of the
people. 1t is an act to curtail guar
anteed American privilege.
If the newspapers don't fight for you,
and if you don't fight for yourselves,
then who in tarnation will?
ALIBIS
1t may be said that the conference
could succeed better without public OBJ
servation than it could if all delegations
had TO reveal their innermost thoughts
before the eyes of gallery. 1t may be
said that during negotiations, partly
baked ideas could give rise to rumors and
unfounded, hasty conclusions. 1t may
be said that the other nations won't talk
if the meeting is an open meeting.
Such contentious won't hold water. If
they're true, then the American system
is wrong Congress should always meet
in executive session; municipal govern
ments should control secretly; the die
tator method is right and the democratic
system is wrong; a system Of public edu-
cation is fallacious system. We should
hide unpleasant truths from public gaze.
If the ability Of anyone anytime to
give some thin excuse for withholding in
formation, warranted such withholding,
then most of Us would be pretty ignor-
ant of what is going on. And what kind
of country would this become?
Our forefathers knew the benefit of
freedom of speech and freedom of pub
lie information. That's why they specifi-
cally provided for it in their precepts.
In this enlightened day and age, surely
we must be sufficiently alert to protect
those heritages which have served this
country so we'll We cannot afford to be
less wise than those generations which
preceded US.
If we are not willing to fight for
these things, then possibly we do not
deserve to keep them
Eternal vigilence is the price of liber-

Seven U.S.. Fleets
Now in Operation

WASHINGTON, April 17-CUP)
Seven US. naval fleets are op-
Grating today in strategic combat
areas.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
announced that the seventh fleet is
in the Southwest Pacific and the
third in the South Pacific. He said
the additional fighting units had
grown from several reorganizations
of the swiftly expanding navy.
There was but one fleet-in the
Pacific-before the war. Then the
aim was a Moroccan" navy for
service in both the Atlantic and
Pacific. Publication of the COM
plete list Of fleets-which fleet is
operating in what area-may be
made later.

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, April II
(UP)-The only two Japanese sup
ply ships to escape the rain of
Allied bombs that sank or damaged
four other vessels in a convoy off
WeWak, New Guinea, fled beyond
the range of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's planes today.
Despite heavy loss, however,
spokesman for Macarthur acknoWl-
edged that the convoy possibly"
succeeded in landing supplies for
Japanese forces at Wewak, one of
the main bases along a 2.500-mile
arc above Australia at which the
Japanese have been reported mass
ing strength for new offensive.

Alexander meantime signalled
the following citation to Patton.

thanks for their loyal support and
active cooperation in this great VIC
tory Hard fighting still lies ahead
OF us before we throw the enemy
cut OF North Africa, but the united
efforts Of three Allies make the re-
suit certain. Good luck to you ALL"
In asserting that I'VE are now
at the climax of the battle" for Tu-
nlSia, Eisenhower strongly praised
the French fighting forces.
FRENCH DID SHARE
AS British and American
strength grew daily and the French
strength did not, their role may
have seemed to lessen but the
French have done their share" he
said.
We gave them equipment in
small packets as rapidly as it could
be spared. We provided one batch
OF 25 P-40 WarhaWks while the
British supplied considerable ar
tillery. including one group of rs
millimeter anti-tank guns. All of
this equipment is aside from the
general re-arming of French forces
which our governments have prom
ised."
Asked if he would try to get
more equipment to the French,
Eisenhower said: II have a tre-
mendous affection for any soldier
who kills German. If I can give

A smaller force of four-engined
Strings and HalifaXes, with a
number of tWin-engined Yelling

three 1000-plane raids on Germany
CT last year,
BLOCK BUSTERS USED
Hundreds of four and two ton
block buster demolition bombs were
among the cargoes of destruction
unloaded on factories turning out
munitions and guns for the Axis
armies in Russia, Tunisia and
Europe.
IT was the first time that the
RCyal Air Force has struck in such
force at two Widely-separated cities
on a single night and served to
emphasize Prime Minister Winston
Churchills repeated warnings that
British planes will fly over Europe
in increasing numbers to puverize
and paralyZe Adolf Hitler'S Euro
pean fortress as q prelude to an
Allied invasion.
The Skoda factories cover 400
acres in Pilsen and rank with
Krupps as one of the worlds
largest arms producers. The British
bombers made a round-trip of
more than 1900 milestone of the
longest of the war-to bomb Pilsen,
which is situated in what formerly
was C2echoslovakia.

air ministry said of Mannheim.
"Mannheim's concentration of in
dustrial plants is as close as any

A German broadcast reporting
that northeastern Germany also
was raided last night indicated
that the Red air force made its
fifth raid in week on the reich.

aircraft.
The Germans also launched
strong attack against the Russian
bridgehead on the south bank of
the Donets below Balakleya in the
Ukraine. Some 1000 infantryman,
a unit of motorcyclists, six tanks
and five self-propelled guns moved
against the Russians, only to fall
back in retreat when they lost 800
men, four tanks and two guns.
WEDGE LINES
Later 120 German infantrymen
wedged the Soviet lines in night
attack, but the entire force was
wiped out by a Russian counter
blow, the Soviet mid-day commu-
nique said. Russian artillery farth-
er north smashed four German
dugouts and silenced two mortar
batteries above Cruguev, % miles
southeast of Kharkov.
On the central front, Soviet guns

Holds Still Water Filled.
The holds Of the Oklahoma still
were water-tilled. Below decks, the
admiral said, there are the bodies OF
38l officers and men.
The scene was similar on the
Arizona, but she lay on the bottom
much lower in the water. Inside
the Arizona the Navy expects to find
1,071 bodies. Within the inverted
Utah are 81 more bodies.
The Oklahoma was almost upside

Workmen clambered over the 27-
year-old vessel for days, fastening
cables to her hull.
Gables were tied to her frame
work. and the other ends were fixed
to winches set up in a row ashore.
The winches supplied the pull.
After SO hours, the steady tug of
the cables righted the great battle
wagon.
"The work has taken weeks,
months in some instances" Ad-
miral Furlong said. 1--WE have used
all kinds of personnel. There are
about so divers, some of them high
ly expert mechanics who work far
below the surface.
Its dangerous, but so far we
haven't lost single diver. They're
careful about their air lines"
Difficult Salvage Job.
In some ways, Admiral Furlong
said, the salvage job has offered
more difficulties than the raising of
the German fleet, scuttled in Scapa
Flow by Kaiser Wilhelm's crews
after the World War.
That job was done in peacetime
after the enemy had been defeated,
and every energy could be turned
to the task" Admiral Furlong ex-
planned. I'VE are doing this in war
time"
An official statement by Secretary
OF the Navy Knox on December S,
1912, named the vessels hit by the
Japanese. Five battleships, the
Arizona, Oklahoma, California, Ne
vada and West Virginia: three de-
stroyers, the Shaw, Cassin and
Downes: the mine layer Oglala, the
target ship Utah and large floating
drydock were sunk or damaged and
rendered militarily useless at the
time.
In addition, the battleships Penn
