Allies Drive Out
Enemy Forces In
Tunisian Fighting
BY PHIL AULT

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North
Africa, Jan. 81. UP)-Allied forces
have regained some positions in the
OuSseltia valley of northeastern
Tunisia and in the mountains east
of the valley, an Allied communique
said today.
These positions had been taken
in recent actions by German forces
moving down the OusSeltia valley,
southwest of Pont Du Fahs. Allied
forces, driving out the enemy, were
consolidating the recaptured terri
tory.
Air activity was slight over Tuni-
sil The communique said four enc
my planes had been destroyed
against an Allied loss of two air
craft.
PLANES SHOT DOWN
A small force of axis fighter
bCTbers attacked Allied airfields
and Two of the enemy planes were
shot down. Last night, another small
formation dropped bombs in the AL
giers area and two more enemy
bombers were doWned.
The Algiers raid lasted several
hours. Axis bombers began the at
tack under the light of a waning
moon just at the hour when the
news of the Roosevelt Churchill
CaSablanca conference was being
released to the world. 1t was the
most prolonged raid on Algiers il
weeks Antiaircraft batteries and
ships in the harbor opened heavy
fire on the raiders.

Sagging of the Red army lines
near Belgorod was to be expected
under the weight of one of the most
concentrated armored blows of all
time, the Soviets said, adding that
the situation was in no wise to be
regarded as serious so far.
On the other hand, the German

fortified Soviet positions near Bel

SOvIETS HOLD FIRM
The fact that the Soviet line gen.
orally was holding firm inspired
confidence in LONDON that no gen.
eral breakthrough was imminent.
Military observers pointed out 1t
was the first time German Of
fensive had been checked at such
an early stage on the eastern front.
but cautioned that a measure of
Nazi success would not be surpris-
ing.
While the Russians we're tangled
in bloody struggle with the Ger
mans, the western allies carried
through the fifth day an intense
air assault on Italian outposts in
the Mediterranean.
A United Press dispatch from
North African headquarters, re-
porting the new attacks on Sicily
and Sardinia, said the air fleet
struck las the day for the assault
against Europe appeared to be
coming closer"
The allies shot down 10 axis fight
ers which tried to fend off the pull

ranean approaches to Europe. Re-
sistance had fallen off sharply after
