This Changing World
Washington Militoy Quarters Mointoin
General Tunisiun Situation Is UNCHANGED

done by the American British
naval and air forces In the Medi-
terranean the AXIS have been
able to supply Romrnels forces
effectively. The enemy is losing
ships but has more available. In
the last few weeks the Germans
are reported to have used large
submarines, believed to diSplace
some 1000 tons, as transports
between their bases on the Eu-
ropean mainland and the Tu-
nisian ports.
When these submarines are
able to surface at night they are
capable Of a speed Of about 20
knots: in the daytime when they
are generally submerged they
have half that speed.
The distance from the Nazi
bases in Sicily or even In Toulon
or in the Italian ports to Tu-
nisia does not exceed $50 miles;
that is to say a trip OF one and a
half to two days by submarine.
While tanks and heavy equip
ment cannot be carried in the
transport U-boats, gasoline and
other type Of war material can
be ferried across. So can spare
parts for the tanks and the
planes engaged in the Tunisian
campaign.
Effect on Spain Feared.
Although Washington quarters
regard the setback as having no
important bearing on the final
outcome Of the fighting, political
and diplomatic circles view the
situation as particularly unfortu-
nate at this time because of the
possible psychological effect on
the future course of Spain's
Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
1t is we'll known in Washington
that Hitler is playing a desperate
game on which depends his fate
and the destinies Of Europe. Ger
man reinforcements are no longer
being rushed to Russia. The
Axis forces there are Withdraw
ing to the Dnieper River as fast
as they can and must hold that
line with what they now have.
Everything the German and Ger
man-controlled factories are pro-
ducing in the shape of tanks, artil-
lery and planes is earmarked for
the Western and Southern Eu-
ropean front in which North
Africa is included.
1t Is reasonable to expect that
the whole weight Of the remain
ing Nazi strength will be con-
centrated against the American
British and French forces in or
der to obtain a spectacular vic
tory which would jeopardize our
plans for the 1943 campaign.
If Africa gives the Germans
the best opening for the one re-
naming offensive action there Is
no doubt that the Nazi high COM
mand will not overlook the
slightest opportunity to hit quick
and hard.
Strategically the Nazi forces
are considered by military OBJ
servers to be In better position
than our own forces, although
according to official figures from
London they are outnumbered by
about three to one.

MaIibu Is Again
In Path Of Fire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9. CUP)-
Flames again swept toward the
swank movie colony at Malibu
Beach today as they leaped over
newly constructed fire trails and
raced out of control down Winter
Canyon.
All night weary and begrimed
firemen had battled to keep the
glaze udner control in the Zuma
Canyon area, three miles inland.
Shortly after dawn a fresh breeze
sprang UP, whipping the flames
out of hand.
A new fire was reported out of
control in Santa Ana Canyon eight
miles south of the Chino prison
farm.
COUNTY Fire Warden Spence D.
Turner said he was convinced the
Santa Monica Mountain fire had
been started deliberately.
Five fires broke out practically
simultaneously in the Girard area
where the main blaze started" Tur-
ner said. In my opinion either a
pyromaniac or kids were responsible
for those fires"

CAN BALANCE WANT
THE SufferingS of the little men
and women who have been ground
under the Axis heel" he said, can
be relieved onlv if we utilize the
production of all the world to bal
ance the want of all the world.
In UNRRA we have devised a
mechanism, based on the processes
OF true democracy, which can 60
far toward accomplishment of such
an objective in the days and months
OF desperate emergency which will
follow the overthrow of the Axis"
The president said the agreement
TODAY was demonStrative of the
spirit and the positive action of the
united Nations ::at the time when
our military power is becoming pre-
dominant, when our enemies are
being pushed back-all over the
world"
He predicted the Atlantic City
meeting would bring about the
first bold steps toward the prac-
ticable, workable realization of
freedom from want"
In defeat or in victory" he said,
the united nations have never de-
waited from adherence to the basic
principles of freedom, tolerance, in
dependence, and security. The
forces of the United Nations march
forward and the peoples of the
United Nations march with them. ="

8 Storm Deaths in
East Are Recorded
By UNITED PRESS

Isolated communities in Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Iowa were digging themselves out
Tuesday as snow. flurries followed
a blizzard which swept the north
central states and left at least eight
persons dead.
The weather bureau reported the
blizzard had abated, leaving only a
trace of snow in the air.
Icy winds from Canada sent
temperatures tumbling for the sec
ond consecutive day in Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Illinois.
Heavy snow blanketed much of
the area, and roads were blocked
when strong winds lashed the snow
into high drifts. In Minnesota and
the Dakotas, repair crews worked
to restore telephone circuits which
snapped under the storms fury.
