of Kebili west of that port and
Kairouan, an African Air Force
spokesman announced today.
The high light of the days air &C.
tivity was a one-man bombing at
tack by Maj. Phillip George Cochran
Of Erie, Pa, who Leads a P-40 War
hawk fighter group.
Alone and carrying one large
bomb, he swept over the roof tops
Of Kairouan and deposited the ex-
plosive in the middle of German
military headquarters for the area.
He reported the headquarters de-
stroyed.
On returning from the target he
was attacked by a Focke- -Wulf 100.
Although his plane was shot up, he
held of the German fighter and
returned safely to his base.
First Sweep by Bombers.
The Tunisian raids followed the
first sweep by American bombers

January 5, when he led a forma-
tion of Flying Fortresses and Lib

ITO More Violations
Of Driving Ban Listed
Here Over Week End
Streets Nearly Deserted
As Officials Enforce
Auto Restriction

One hundred and ten sus-
pected violators of the ban on
automobile pleasure driving were
reported by OPA inspectors and
District police today after Wash
ington had marked its first week
end under the new restrictions.
The motorists-105 listed by OPA
inspectors and by District police
were in addition to IS others who
had been reported up to midnight
Saturday.
District police had not completed
their weekend count at l am. to-
day. and said there might be two
or three others" Park police said
they found no infractions Of the
ban during the week end.
Compliance with the new regula-
tions apparently was good in surbur-
ban areas. Law enforcement officers
in nearby Virginia said this morn
ing they were not reporting any
violations yesterday.
Few Cited in Maryland.
In nearby Maryland, only reports
of violations came from Prince
Georges and Montgomery County
police, who said "a few" drivers were
cited yesterday for using their cars
for trips not permitted by OPA rules.
Streets and highways in both the
District and suburban areas were
virtually bare of weekend trafnc
for the first time in many years.
Amusement places that could be
reached oy streetcar or bus were
crowded, as were all public trans
portation facilities.
Capital Transit Co. streetcars and
buses carried throngs of theater-
goers and other seekers of weekend
entertainment. Both the A, B. 6z w.
and the Arnold Operated Bus Lines
reported traffic was about all we
could handle"
Some taxicab drivers were said to
be refusing to take passengers to
amusement places. One driver said
he would carry pleasure riders, but
would insist they get out block or
so away from their destination If
they we're going to a theater or
night club.
Cooperation Asked.
Joseph B. Eastman, director of the
Once of Defense Transportation,
and James H. Flanagan, head of the
Public Utilities Commission, have
appealed to the public not to use
cabs for pleasure travel.
George Dalton, manager of the
Blue Light Cab Co., said drivers for
that concern have been instructed to
cooperate as nearly as possible

Big Atlantic Convoy
Survives 5 Attacks
By German Subs
Large Number Of Assault:
Emphasizes Menace
Is Not Diminishing
BY NAT A. BARROWS,
War CORRESPONDENT Of The Star and

Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE drama
of 35 separate U-boat attacks on
a large Atlantic convoy during
four days and nights gives en-
phasis in London-as it must in
Washington-that the menace of
German subs to Allied shipping
is in no way diminishing, but
rather constantly increasing.
This attack, coming as it does
immediately behind the series of
warnings about the U-boat threat
by such well-informed British lead
ers as Labor Secretary Ernest Bevin,
Administrator Harold r. Stark,
commander of United States naval
forces in Europe, Elmer Davis, head
of the Office of War Information,
Sir Stafford Cripps and Lord Win
ster, adds realism to the SOLDERING
fact that Germany as never before is
turning out submarines as her No.
l production priority, perhaps to
the extent, as the Vichy radio says,
of 80 a month.
Behind the glorious account of how
British, Polish and Norwegian war
ships and British, American and
Canadian aircraft fought for four
days and nights to break up each
attack, there is another side pic
ture, and a more diSquieting one.
Total Bag Is Only 2 Subs.
Even though the Admiralty is al
ways cautious about claiming enemy
losses, the total bag of this latest
battle of the Atlantic was only two
subs with small losses" to the con-
voy.
CAT least six other undersea
raiders were damaged, either by
escorting warships or planes, In
attempted attacks on the convoy,
the Admiralty and Air Ministry
announced, according to the As
sociated Press)

U. 5. Signs Treaty
Giving Up Special
Privileges in China
Similar Agreement
On ExtroterritorioIity
Made by Britain
By BLAIR ROLLES.

The American and Chinese
governments today signed a
treaty at the State Department
which does away with the extra
territorial political, military,
commercial and judicial privi-
leges enjoyed by the United
States in China for almost 100
years. The treaty now goes to
the Senate for ratification.
Secretary of State Hull signed
for the United States and Ambas-
sador Wei Tao-Ming for China.
1T gives every official of this
Government and every citizen of the
United States much satisfaction, I
am sure" Secretary Hull said, ITO
have this treaty concluded with
our great friend and associate in
arms, China
Dr. Wei said:
"The signing at Washington to-
day of the new treaty between China
and the United States-both demo-
cratic Nations on the Pacific and
now engaged in the common battle
for freedom-is indeed an event of
great significance and will further
strengthen the friendly relations
long subsisting between our two
peoples"
British Also Sign Treaty.
The Chinese and British govern
ments have signed a similar treaty,
the Foreign Office in London an
nounced today. A spokesman there
said treaty also had been initiated
on behalf of India. He added that
the dominions are making their own
arrangements, but are in agreement
with the British action.
The treaties bring to q close the
period in which China shared
sovereign rights in its own territory
with outside countries. Nominally
the French still enjoy certain
extraterritorial rights in China
through the French Concession in
Shanghai and Tientsin. Both places
