ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
North Africa, Feb. "a (UP).-
Marshal Rommers armored units
are being driven in retreat today
toward the Kasserine Pass,
harassed by Allied planes and by
American and British troops
which stopped the enemy dead In
his tracks in a three-day battle
an Allied communique said today.
The crack 21st German arInored
unit which rolled out of the Kas-
serine Gap three days ago. and
fought its way TO within four
miles of the strategic town OF
Thala, north of KaSserine in west
central Tunisia. has been pushed
back to an area within three
miles of the pass.
POSITION UNTENABLE
(Thala is Is miles northwest
of Kasserine. Since the Ger
mans penetrated to within four
miles of Thala and then were
driven back TO within three
miles of the Kasserine Pass.
their retreat was approximately

The @ I'm ans. overreaching
themselves in the dash for Thala,
found their position there unten-
able and began to retire early yes
terday.
AS they fell back. the Allied air
force-apparently dominant in the
skies over the battle area-gave
the retreating Germans the worst
pasting they have yet experienced
in Tunisia.
II was similar in intensity and
volume 10 the air attack launched
by the Allies at Ell Alamein when
General Montgomery's Eighth
Army started the offensive that
has now carried it TO the Mareth
Line.
TIDE SWINGS
Thus, the tide of battle in Tu-
nisia swung sharply in favor of the
Allies with the German push exc
hausted and with the Eighth Army,
about 100 miles away from other
Allied forces in Tunisia, threatens

Italian units had crossed the

taken by the Americans and the
British. On the plain in front of
Djebel Hamra alone, the Ameri-

The Germans made a desperate

German columns that we're wind

Then the Americans, timing
their action with the British,

of the German losses still are I'M

Hits War Optimism

Wendell l.. Willkie. thinner and

1910 campaign. is back in Detroit
today inspecting war plants, as
surfing his friends that he has not
decided whether he will again be a
presidential candidate, and making
splitting sound like "phfft" in
reference 10 old-fashioned political
bosses.
He is spending the whole day at
the various Chrysler plants, keenly
interested in the manufacture of
the tanks and war implements he
saw in action during his world
tour. Tonight he will address the
