WASHINGTON, Jan. % -(R
- American casualties to date in
Tunisia have totaled 1888 dead,
wounded and missing, Secretary
of War Stimson said today.
The Tunisian casualties of the
United States Army forces in
clude 226 men listed as missing
who have been reported taken
prisoner, Stimson said, while
2ll have been reported killed,
532 wounded and another 289
listed as missing.
Remarking that in all war
theaters "all of our air opera
tons have been brilliantly sue
cessful," Stimson said that dur
ing the last IL months of 1912
Army filters shot down or proba-
bly, destroyed 1,349 enemy air
craft. against a loss of 800.
BRIGHT REPORT
The secretary outlined these
facets of what he described as
continued good news:
l. The German authorities
were beginning to speak public
ly about their defeat In Russia
where, Stimson said, the Russian
stand at Stalingrad and the sub
sequent Red Army resurgence
may well have been one Of the
decisive battles Of history.
2. Marshall Erwin Rommel's
Axis troops in Tripolitania were
in full flight, having abandoned
TripOli without a fight. At least
one division had entered Tu-
nisia.
3. French and American troops
in Tunisia had repulsed a Ger
man thrust designed to widen
ROmmel's corridor or retreat.
4. General Douglas MacArth-
ur's forces in New Guinea, COM
pleting the Papuan campaign,
had eliminated the japanese en-
tirely from Eastern New Guinea.
