ing q steady offensive against tar
gets in Sicily and shipping in the
Mediterranean, there had been no
recent reports Of attacks on land
transport near the border area.
The Middle Eastern command said
f1ghter-b ombers had shot up dis
persed vehicles near the border yes
terday, downed one Axis plane and
damaged others.
The Eighth Army, having pur-
sued the Afrika Korps to the bor-
der, was believed massed for con-
certed, smashing blow across the
border. The resumption Of air at
tacks against It's vehicles might be
a softening up process for the blow.
Radio France, broadcasting from
Algiers, said British forces yester-
day smashed new German on
slaughts against Djevel Mansour
hill, which the British captured
several days ago.
"Our Allies still hold this stra-
tegic height commanding four i'm
portant roads in the Pont Du Fahs
sector" Radio France said.
Although Allied headquarters had
not mentioned fighter of Conse-
quence on the Tunisian front, Radio
Paris broadcast a German report
that the Allies in Central Tunisia
had attacked Thursday Sin waves
after intensive artillery fire."
The attack, Radio Paris said, was
conferred against an Axis-held
height southwest Of Pont Du Fahs,
which is 80 miles southwest of Tu-
mis-.
There was fierce fighting for
each defense position" Radio Paris
said. Axis artillery inflicted severe
losses and stemmed the Allied adj
vances. Units which broke through
were later cut of and wiped out,
and the situation was restored by
nightfall."
Radio Paris also claimed that the
Germans had frustrated" an at
tempt to force q passage to Kair-
Ouan, below Pont Du FANS.
Radio Algiers said American
bombings had completely destroyed
the ports Of Sfax, Sousse and Gabes
in Tunisia, and Bizerte and Tlnis
were the only ports the Axis could
use. They also had been severely
pounded.
General Henri Honore Giraud
said in q speech TO African youth at
Algiers, that 10000 men from Tu-
nisia, Aigiera and Morocco were
lighting against the Axis.
