'5FAx HARB0R, RAIL YARDS,
 ARE BOMBED
U.- 5. Raiders Make Hedv- fest Attack Yet on One
 Harbor-Fires Set
(By Associated Press)

The harbor and railway yards at Sfax, supply port vital to the re- grouping Axis forces in Tunisia, were hard hit by the Twelfth U. S. Air Force in the greatest raid of the war, while the British Eighth Army artillery duelled Rom mel's rear in the Zuara area, 35 miles east of the Tunisian from tier
 The Axis forces betrayed the jit- ters by the radio suggestions that the British First Army has al- ready started the oig drive in the runisian campaign
 Unconfirmed reports are that American forces on the Tunisian front have launched or are pre- pairing to launch an offensive.
 Radio broadcasts give no con- firmation that the offensive is now underway.
 The Allied Headquarters in North Africa said -.there IS no change in the ground situation"
 United States heavy and medi- um bombers struck Sfax in four waves yesterday, blasted rail lines and the harbor facilities heavily and left many fires burning.
 Six Axis planes that attempted to intervene were shot down.
 The Air Force spokesman said the number of planes used was the largest ever sent against a single target.
 The Italian High Command ac- knowledges heavy damage on the raids on Sfax.

House Judiciary Commit fee Approves Anfi-
 Racketeer Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. = The House Judiciary Committee h a S approved legislation to subject la bor union leaders to penalties and heavy fines or imprisonment on evidence provided by 34 anti-racke- teering cases involving interferences with interstate commerce of the government.
 These interferences were identi- fled as blocking truck shipments and other similar cases.
 The committees action split the vote of Representative Lane and Celler, Democrats opposing the bill introduced by Rep. Hobbs.
 The legislation provides maxi mum. penalty of 20 years imprison- ment and a fine of S10,000 for anyone interfering with interstate commerce movements during war time
 Hobbs said it is aimed at prac- tices of some labor unions which are blocking truck shipments be- cause union labor is not employed.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tNxajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON.-Not all of the recurrent troubles with interned Japs in Western camps have leaked into the newspapers.
 One hot spot has been the Tule Lake camp in Northern California, where there was a near riot sev- eral months ago. Jap evacuees, put to work on nearby truck farms, went on strike and threat ened bodily harm to any of their comrades who did not join in the walkout.
 To prevent possible bloodshed, the War Relocation Authority told the evacuees that they could re- turn to camp and pick other jobs for their Sl6-a-month wage plus food and housing.
 Since then, WRA officials have been keeping weather eye on the Lake Tule camp, for it includes some bad agitators among both the "Issei" tJapanese-born) and the "Kibei" (American-b born Japs 'edu- cated in Japan)e
 A favorite method of spreading dissension and unrest among loyal Jap evacuees, chiefly the "Nesei' (American-born and U s. citi- zens), is to tell them that they get the same treatment in detention camps as the 'Issei" and "Kibei' evacuees, despite their loyalty to the United States.
 There have been several cases where "Nesei' evacuees who re- fused to renounce the United States and cooperated wholeheartedly with camp supervisors were beaten by the "Kibei" Another device of the agitators is to put up signs dur ing the night proclaiming such Axis catch phrases as Anybody who remains loyal to the United States is a fool :. Don't work for an Allied victory. . Japan will win"
 At Granada, Colo, a sit-down strike of evacuees, who refused to haul coal in WRA trucks from La mar, Colo, was broken up when camp officials, unable to get out side labor, served notice that the evacuees either would haul coal or freeze.
 However, the government doesn't always have to get tough. Some

 Fighting

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-In two days of furious fighting in the Sol omons. the Navy reports, Ameri- can forces damaged two Jap cargo ships, two destroyers and a tanker, destroyed 10 enemy planes a md killed 36 Jap troops.
 The operations resulted in the capture of another enemy conn mand post. Three Japs were taken prisoner One of the cargo ships listed as damaged probably sank, the Navy says Four American planes were missing after the battle.
 Location Not Given
 The location of the enemy com- mand post, while not given in the communique, is believed to be somewhere along the four-mile stretch of coastal country between Kokumbona and Tassafaronga.
 American forces captured Ko- klInpona a few days ago. Tassa- faronga will be the next objective along the coast.
 The American offensive action against the enemy ships and bases, according to locations given in the communique, apparently all were directed in the Kolombangara area in the New Georgia group of islands, near the enemy's Nun da air base.
 Kolombangara is 190 nautical miles northwest of Guadalcanal. It only recently was brought un- der attack, but since the opera tions against it have been started, it has been heavily bombed by our forces

Auto Dealers Hang On
 Notwithstanding War;
 Keep Hitting on All 8
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30- Con- gressn1en and other government of- ficials interested in the plight of small business are studying results of a survey which may be the key to what has happened and is hap pening to the nations 36,000 auto mobile dealers.
 Here is an industry which, it ap- pears on the surface, the war vir- tually annihilated With prac- tically no cars to sell; parts. tires, gasoline and oil rationed, and mechanics drafted or lured away by higher wages in war industries, it was almost inconceivable that the auto dealer and garage man could stay in business.
 Yet the survey of Joseph w. Frazer, an auto company presi- dent, indicates such isn't the case at all Frazer's detailed question naire was sent to more than 2,000 csalers. If it's a fair sampling more than 72 per cent of the deal CTS will still be in business at the end of the duration, and 20 per cent of the prospective or actual dealer casualties expect to reopen as soon as the war is over.
 This 20 per cent doubted that it could survive but only 8 per cent declared definitely that they were out of business now or would be before hostilities cease That's a good deal different from the pre- dictions of a year ago that more than half the automobile dealers would be bankrupt before the end of 1922.
 The greatest mortality rate is Tn the east where gas rationing has been in operation for months, but 1t is only 6 per cent greater than the rest of the nation.
 Frazer thinks car dealers have shoWn unusual ingenuity. Answers to his questionnaires show that the automobile men are selling every thing from beer to blackout sup plies in order to pay rentals, kaer their staffs intact, and themselves of the bread line. There are, ol course, some new car sales. There are some tire and gas and oil sales And depleted repair shop staffs have Ill the business they can handle Then. too. there is the second hanc car business.
