Axis Forces in Tunisia
Facing Destruction,
Eisenhower Asserts
Order Expresses Optimism;
Days Fighting Confined
To PutroIs and Ruids
BY DANIEL DE LUCE,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, March 49,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has
told his troops that German and
Italian forces in Tunisia are
doomed to be pushed into the
sea and eventually DESTROYED now
that three of their efforts to
break out of the encircling Allied
ring have been smashed.
Actual fighting as reported today
in the Allied communique was con-
fined to vigorous patrol activity all
along the front and a repetition OF
smashing Allied aerial blows di
rected particularly at Tunis and
SOusse.
Gen., Eisenhower's order of the
day, which was released for pub
lication today, was dated March 8,
just two days after Gen. Sir Ber-
nard L. Montgomery of the British
9th Army had promised that ''it
will then be our turn to attack"
after giving the enemy a very
bloody nose as result of his at
tempted offensive out of the Mareth
Line.
Lines Are Unchanged.
The communique said 9th Army
lines remained unchanged, how
ever. and an 11-day tour of the
battlefront which / have just con-
cluded left the impression that the
Allies are faced with a tremendous
task in ejecting the Axis from North
Africa. Veteran fighting men at
the front speak of it as a job that
will take months, not weeks.
Heavy and medium United States
bombers gave the docks and rail-
way yards at Sousse, 81 miles south
OF 1unis, and the road junction of
Enf1daville, Is miles north of Sousse.
a fiery bath of explosives yester-
day, the communique disclosed.
Then last night Raj Wellingtons
showered the docks of Tunis with
two-ton blockbusters which left the
warehouse district pattern of
fame.
Securing the Sicilian Straits for
Axis conveys, Mitchell medium
oombers escorted by Lightning fight
ers fell on f1otilla of barges
crammed with war equipment and
sent three of them to the bottom.
They damaged a number of others
and shot down two Italian three
motored bombers as we'll.
Enemy Vehicles Damaged.
Fighter-bombers also damaged
enemy vehicles and positions in the
Sedjenane area on the northern
sea flank, while to the south the
western desert air force hammered
at Mareth Line positions and
bombed Palermo, Comiso and Porto
Empedocle, Sicilian jumping-of
place for Axis sea and air OPERA
tions.
Referring to Col. Gen. Jurgen Won
Arnim's series of northern thrusts
against the British 9th Army, Mar
shal Erwin Rommel's Central Tu-
nisian offensive in February and
his abortive attack from the Mareth
Line a week ago in which he lost
81 tanks, Gen. Eisenhower's order
of the day said:
The enemy has been once .rus-
trated and twice defeated in his at
tempts to break the Allied ring en-
circling him.
Possibly he will make further and
desperate efforts. But I know what
the troops of our field armies will.

OF our naval and air forces, mex

Any stamps, bottles, or coins

hobby but few Coolidge men
have a hobby closely linked with
the lure of the south west.
When groups of Coolidge men
get together they may be talking
about cotton, trouble with a new
shipment OF cattle, new building
project, weather, or their conver-
sation may date back 500 years.

The function OF this office is to
secure the greatest possible utili-

orders at this office. Weaver has
arranged to spend every Thursday
forenoon in Coolidge at the Office
of the Justice of the Peace and

Whenever ii Is apparent from
the orders for help received that
there is a shortage OF local work
ers and whenever additional labor
cannot be secured from within
Arizona, an endeavor will be made
to secure labor from other states
or from Mexico. Such help will
be brought into the county under
contract between the farmer and
the government, and this importa.
