MOSCOW, May 8.-An ex-
tremely violent battle was re-
ported in progress today south
west of Neberdjayevskaya which
is only 9 miles from Novorossisk,
as the Germans rushed up re-
serves, tanks and motorized ar

Soviet advance toward the Black
Sea port.
In the face Of growing resistance,
Red Army units, which turned
southwark after separating the Ger
mans and the Rumanians north of
the Kuban River from those in the
south, were driving hard to follow
up the force of their first thrusts in
the direction of Novorossisk.
(The German communique said
the Russians were repulsed in the
Kuban in violent hand-to- hand
fighting" and that 80 tanks were
destroyed. Lively local fights

There was no indication the city

were on three sides and smashing

The Germans regrouped their sag

against the Red Army advance.

1900 Leave Mines
As Strikes Again

Thousands of Others Also
Threaten to Quit in
Fiqht for New Contract

Strikes were beginning to dot
the coal horizon again today,
and while one involving 1,40O
men was only short-lived, an
other promptly got under way,
with the net result that more
than 1900 workers are idle.
Concurrently, there was a threat
that thousands of other miners will
resume the strike of a week ago un-
less operators sign a contract with
the United Mine Workers.
In another development the War
Labor Board reafhrmed its inten-
tion to abide by the Little Steel
formula for wage adjustments, which
proscrlbeS increases in excess of Is
per cent above the level of January
l, 1941-a yardstick that would bar
any raise for the miners, who want
81 more daily.
The board agreed that "the order
is unavoidable without further clari-
fication," but did not specify the
changes deemed advisable.
Captive Mine Strikes.
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
were the scene of the new strikes,

but the 1,400 workmen returned this

Second Corps Drive
Into bizete Led
By Gen. Bradley
Infantry Specialist
Took Over Command of
Tank Expert Gen. Potion
By the Associated Press.

BY lhe Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, May 8.-Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower disclosed
today that Maj. Gen. Omar N.
Bradley commanded the vic
torlous drive of the United States
I'd Corps into Bizerte, having
taken over from 1t. Gen. George
S. Patton, jr., when the Ameri-
cans were shifted to the north
on April II.
Gen. Eisenhower at the same time
expressed his delight" over the fall
OF Tunis and Bizerte, but asserted
that the fight would 60 on "as long
as there was single armed German
on African soil"
Gen. Bradley, regarded as one of
the Army's best infantry COM
manders, took over command from
Gen. Patton when the Americans
were transferred from the Maknassy
area to the rugged mountain region
OF the north.
Shift Explained.
The reason for the change in COM
mand, it was explained, was that
the new zone of operations assigned
to the Americans made the northern
drive essentially an infantry fight.
1t. Gen. Patton is an armored
fighting specialist and in the south
the battle was chiefly by the use of
armor.
Gen. Eisenhower expressed the
highest confidence in both generals.
CThere was nothing in this dis
patch to indicate the present where
abouts of 1t. Gen. Patton.)
Gen. Eisenhower said: Naturally
I am delighted with the develop
ments which brought us into Bizerte
and Tunis but so far as am con-
cerned as long as a single armed
German is on African soil there Is
still battle and I want to destroy
the rest of his resistance"
9th Division Unit First.
1t was stated that the 894th Tank
Destroyer Battalion Unit of the
American 9th Division was the first
to enter Bizerte at Ais pm. yester-
day, just IS minutes after a combat
command Of the 1st United States
Armored Division occupied Ferryville
and shortly after the British entered
TuniS.
The British reconnaissance unit
OF the Derbyshire Yeomanry which
fought in the original November
drive toward Tunis was the first to
reach that city.
The 18th Hussars and an armored
unit of the 9th Army which fought
all the way from Ell Alamein was
close on their heels and participated
with them in confused fighting with
Axis troops who apparently were
surprised by the speed with which
the city was entered.
Gen. Eisenhower learned of the fall
OF Tunis and Bizerte as he returned
to headquarters from a visit to the
front last night. 1t was no surprise
This battle again has shown the
great advantage of unification which
we achieved by putting Gen. Sir
Harold Alexander up front and let
ting him handle the battleline from
day to day.
He has been able to transfer force
where he wanted it and he has
handled the battleline as a single
unit.
I'VE are now seeing the results of
this uniflcation.
1T speaks well for the tremen-
dously difficult tasks lying ahead of
the United Nations"
