forces. in their hasty retreat from
Gen. Montgomery onslaughts.
With Gabes functioning as an Al
lied supply port, the long overland
haul of war materials from Trlpoil
or Bengazi far down the African
coast in Libya could be avoided.
Moreover, Allied sea and air power
concentrated in Gabes could further
harass the Axis forces.
The all-over battle for North Al
RIGA was not yet won, but steadily
British armies from the north and
south and American armies from
thes center were Tightening the
squeeze on the remaining Axis
troops in Tunisia.
AS Marshal Rommel's forces had
made their last desperate effort to
beat their way northward for juno
ton with Col. Gen. Won Arnim's
troops in the sBizerte area, reports
indicated that the Axis had flown
fresh troops into Tunisia. To re-
lieve the. pressure on Rommel, Won
Arnin's forces had staged a brief
counter offensive against British
forces near Bizerte.- Control of the
air over North Africa had appeared
to be turning overwhelmingly in the
Allies favor, as raids shook the Axis
lines and turned RommePs retreat
into a nightmare.
Meanwhile in answer to reports
that Germany had commandeered
the Italian fleet and all available
French merchantmen preparatory to
an attempt to evacuate Italo-Ger-
man armies from Tunisia in an Axis
"Dunkirk," the Allies staged an
unprecedented, raid by 100 Flying
Fortresses that smashed the inpor

Sardinia, damaging rs merchant
ships and putting II enemy planes
out of commission. Simultaneous

voy in the Sicilian narrows, sinking

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Bombs Break LulI

American bombs exploding on
Kiska in the Aleutian Islands, Villa
in the central Solomons, Kahili in
the Shortlands and in japanese hold
ings north of Australia broke the lull
in the Pacific war theater.
While the foregoing raids had
nuisance and punitive value, General
MacArthur's fliers in New Guinea
conferred their attacks on enemy sup
ply and communication lines be-
tween Wewak and Madang and
strafed the entire Salamaua area.
A communique from Allied head
quarters said that low-altitude raids
in the Salamaua area with bombs,
cannon and machine gun fire had
subjected this front to the most in
tensive damage this Jap base had
yet received.
Allied airmen continued their raids
on the airdromes at Lac and at
Timika in Dutch New Guinea.

Two events pointed to the conclu-
sion that the nations synthetic rub
Der producing program was pro-
ceeding successfully.
One was the appearance Of Rub
Der Director William M. LETTERS be-
fore senate committee with
heavy duty synthetic truck tire and
his statement that the artificial
elastic had been perfected ito the
point where it will very nearly meet
all requirements without mixing with
natural rubber"
The other was the action of the
rubber division and the department
Of agriculture in reducing the i'm
mediate planting of guayule, a rub
Der producing shrub from $4,000
acres to between $4,000 and 10000
acres.
LETTERS warned, however, that the
rubber situation was still critical.
