RUSSIA:
Maxi Setbacks

Hammering at the northeast ap-
proaches to Nazi-held Novorossisk,
Russian forces had captured numer-
GUS towns, including Krymskaya
and killed 10000 German troops in
smash through the Kuban delta
bulge of the Caucasus toward the
Black sea.
Although the Axis forces were
weakened by the break-through, Hit
Ter had been preparing for weeks for
action by bringing up fresh troops,
tanks and munitions.
The capture of Krymskaya had
two strategic benefits. It placed the
Red army in a position to seriously
menace Novorossisk and it enabled
the Russians to cut the German-held
railroad between Novorossisk and
Protoka, SO miles northeast of the
port.
Significant was Soviet report an
nouncing the presence of powerful
Russ naval units in the Black sea,
led by the flagship paris Com
mune." This sea force was await
ing an opportunity to pounce on any
German attempt to evacuate troops

TUNISIA:
Master Generalship

Axis resistance in Tunisia had
steadily crumbled as the Allied ar
mics moved inexorably toward their
goals. AS American artillery pound
ed the Bizerte harbor area setting
fire to wharves and docking facili-
ties, the British First army had
swept over the Tunisian plains lead
ing to the capital city of Tunis.
The moves on Bizerte had been
expedited by the capture by Ameri-
can and French forces of billy
strongholds protecting Lake Achkel
and Lake Bizerte. In mopping up
operations in the Mediterranean
coastal region the Allies had con-
tinued to capture numerous prison.

In analyzing the results of the sue

tied master Allied generalship with
outmaneuvering the Axis. The Al
lied, high command had led the en-
envy TO believe that the principal
blows would be struck by General
Mentgemery's British Eighth army
from the south. After the Axis had
thrown heavy strength to repel
Montgomery, American forces in
the Bizerte area and British First
army forces before Tunis had struck
crushing blows simultaneously.
Europe DriUe Sure
AS the North African climax had
approached, Elmer Davis, director
of the Office of War Information,
had declared there is mo question
but that there will be Allied opera
tons on continental Europe this sum-

that the Allies. would clean up Tu-
nisia in time to permit invasion Of
the continent this year, Davis added
that it might possibly be necessary
to leave pocket of Axis resistance

pounding even while continental OPP

Under the new instructions to To-

CONTROVERSY:
Russ Add NetU Fuel

More fuel was added to the flaming
Russ-Polish controversy when the
Soviet foreign office charged that
cabinet officers of the Polish govern
ment-in-exile had engaged in espio-
mage activities against Russia. To
this charge the Reds added the fur
Their allegation that the Polish gov
eminent had refused to permit use
of Russian-trained Polish troops on
the Soviet front.
United Nations chancellories had
previously been heartened over the
prospects of a resumption in Russ
Polish relations when Premier Josef
Stain had advocated the establish
ment of a strong and Independent
Polish state after the war and sug-
gested a Polish Russian pact direct
ed against Germany. Observers
viewed the Soviet foreign Offices
supplementary charges as an indi-
cation that while Russia desired
good relations with Poland, it was
bitterly at odds with members Of
the present government-in-exile.
Stalin's statement appearing in a
letter to Ralph Parker, Moscow cor
respondent of the New York Times,
had unequivocally endorsed the idea
of a strong and independent post
war Poland and declared that fu-
ture Russ-Polish relations should be
on the basis of "good neighborly
relations, or an alliance against
Germany should the Polish people
desire it."

coal from persons. or plants with

Whaling Co., and by such profess
sional skillet-wielders of that day
as chefs in Delmonico's Restaurant
in New York and the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco.
An official said whale meat would
be placed on the market by the
firm of Marine Industries which has
q shore station near Eureka, Calf.
and which caught 125 big babies last
year Those were used chiefly for
producing oil and meal.
