$4,000 Axis Troops,
Deserted by Leaders,
In Bataan-Like Trap
Beaten Forces Swept
Toward Cap Bon by
Allied Advance
BY DANIEL DE LUCE,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ON THE CAP BON FRONT, May
8 Delayed The German military
debacle in Tunisia, from which Col
Gen. Jurgen Won Arnim was re-
ported to have fed, is reaching its
last disastrous climax tonight on the
Cap Bon Peninsula which iuts into
the Mediterranean.
A LIST Army spokesman estimated
that 10000 Axis troops, deserted by
their highest commanders, have been
swept into this Bataan-like trap.
A much smaller Axis force. cor
nered at Porto Farina, Is miles east
OF Bizerte, has been frantically trying
to evacuate in coastal boats.
CThe attachments at Porto
Farlna mentioned in this DELAYED
dispatch presumably were among
the Axis remnants pocketed on
the "a United States Corps sector
winch surrendered unconditional
~ yesterday. 1t was estimated
that about $4,000 prisoners were
captured on that sector alone)
The men Of the LIST Army vocif-
erously agreed to get this bloody
business finished in two days-not
two weeks"
They made attacks in the north
ern flank of the Cap Bon front in
the last "a hours and were reported
within few niles of Soliman, CEN
Ter OF network of roads into the
peninsula.
Any delay, 1t was recognized
might enable the enemy to get his
guns we'll established in the hilly
neck of the peninsula. In all
Iunisla, this Cap Bon position of
approximately IS miles width was
the only section where stubborn
organized resistance still is en-
countered by the Allies.
The Germans are gravely short of
fuel and they posted their giant
tiger tanks behind barns and farm
walls as stationary forts in an at
tempt to hold the British thrust
past Hannah Lii, nine miles south
east OF TuniS on narrow stretch
OF low land between the hills and
the sea.
Allied bombers, with sustained
f1erceness, hunted out Axis shipping
which was reported assembling over
night around Cap Bon for the enc
mys effort to achieve a Dunkeroue
escape.
Few Officers Remain
Some 80 small ships managed to
flee from the Tunis area. but 10000
prisoners had been ferreted out.
Since the Allied offensive was re-
neWed on a broad scale last Wednes-
day. the LIST Army and its augmented
strength from the 9Th Army had
captured 10000 men.
1t was indicated that Gen. Won
Arnim bolted from Africa several
days ago and that most high Ger
man and Italian officers also have
escaped.
Gen. Koch of the Goering Division
which was smashed by the British
in the MedJerda Valley, was reported
still on the Cap Bon front. How
ever, apart from Koch. few officers
above the rank of major were be-
lleved to have remained with their
surviving troops.
The enemy was estimated to have
20 tanks left in the peninsula, but
the majority were inmobilized BY
lack of fuel.
The capture Of Soliman, it is be-
lieved. would shatter the enemv's
final stand
I'VE hope it will be a matter of
hours a tank officer told me.

Ma|oney Bill Backers
Seek Senate Passage
Of Measure Today ::
Press for Swift Vote
On Measure to Create
Office Of Civilian Supply


BY the Associated Press.
Backers OF the Maloney bill to
set up an independent ONCE Of
Civilian Supply urged its speedy
passage by the Senate today to
clear the way for the big tax bill
due tomorrow. =
Senator Maloney, Democrat Of
connecticut, the author, and other
supporters of the measure which
would give civilian needs equal
status with military necessities, APP
peared confident that they had the
votes to push the measure through,
although some opposition has de-
veloped.
Part OF the opposition was based
on the fact that War Production
Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson
recently reorganized the existing
Civilian Supply Office, division of
WPB, under Arthur D. Whiteside.
Mr.. Nelson has told friends in the
Senate that he believes Mr.. White
side should be allowed a chance to
make good, conceding meanwhile
that there is plenty of room for i'm
provement in the division.
But Senator Maloney and others
who helped push the bill through
both the Small Business Committee
and the Banking Committee con-
tend that the home front faces a
breakdown unless immediate steps
are taken to correct what they call
a chaotic civilian supply situation.
The measure would give the adj
ministrator of the new, separate
office equal standing with represent
atives of the Army, Navy, Maritime
Commission, Lease-Lend Admins
tration and so on in splitting up tho
national jackpot of materials, goods

CATTLE PRICES
ARE STABILIZED

The directive issued by Eco
nomic Sterilization Director
\Vinson on Oct. Is tended to
do away with much of the un-
certainty on the part of cat
tie feeders regarding ceiling
prices on live cattle, the Nov.
1 report of the Bureau of Agrl-
cultural Economics pointed out.
The directive established
ranges of cattle prices by grades
at Chicago, with a view to
maintaining cattle prices at ap-
proximately the level of the
date of issue and provided that
prices should be established at
other points in line with those
at Chicago.
Maximum or ceiling prices on
any grades of cattle were not
set, and the actual effects on
cattle prices cannot be deter
mined in advance, it was stated.
1t seems probable, however,
that prices at Chicago in 1914
will be allowed to go about as
high as during 1943, with pos
Sibly some restraint on the top
of choice sters and a higher
average on good steers with a
narrowing Of the spread be-
tween grades. The directive does
not affect the prevailing cell
ing prices on dressed beef or
hides but does tend to support
cattle prices in line with these
ceilings. The average of month
ly prices of choice steers at
Chicago for the 10 months,
January through October OF
this year was 1888 and of good
steers was $3.50. For the third
week in october, the averages
were: choice, $16.15 and good
$14.90.
Shipments of stocker and
feeder cattle into the corn belt
states in October were smaller
this year than last and the
second smallest for the month
in five years. The decrease from
October last year was largely
in the direct movement. Rec
ords for the eight corn belt
states show that while the total
in shipments in October this
year was $4,000 head below last
year, the number coming in
from public Stockyards was

LOWER YIELDS
NOW INDICATED

Corn, dry beans, potatoes and
sugar beets all showed some
what lower yields compared with
a month earlier, according to
the Nov. l report of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
Rains interferred only slightly
with late harvesting operations.
Most of the moisture fell in the
eastern and western thirds OF
the state. Portions of the cen
trail third also benefited. How
ever, continued dry conditions
were felt in much of the cen
trail Montana winter wheat area.
Nov. / estimates for late crops
compared with last year and the
average are as follows:
Corn: The Nov. l indicated
yield is 10 bushels for all corn,
two bushels lower than a year
ago, but we'll above the 1O-year
average of 11.8 bushels. Produc-
ton on the 10000 acres OF all
corn will be about 3,42O,OOO
bushels, one of the largest crops
of record.
Beans: Production of dry edl>
BILE beans in 1943 is estimated
at 544, 900 bags of uncleaned
beans, the largest crop on rec
ord. Acreage expansion occurred
largely on dry land, where yields
of from two to five bags per
acre we're common. Since dry
acreage nearly equalled irrigated
acreage, the average yield drop
ped to $50 pounds per acre.
Potatoes: Montana's current
potato crop is estimated at g.
76O 900 bushels, the largest since
1887. The average per acre is
placed at lis bushels, the same
as a year ago.
Sugar beets: Sugar beet yields
are somewhat lower than the
past six years due largely to a
late start and cold weather ter
minating growth early in the
fall in many localities. Produc-
ton is estimated at 749, 900 tons,
about II per cent of produc-
ton for 1912. The sharply re-
duced acreage and favorable fall
for harvesting operations re-
suited in the harvest being car
ried out with little difficulty.

RANGES HELPED

Rain and snow during October
and early November relieved the
long dry period during the late
summer and fall and resulted in
some green grass on Montana
ranges, according to the Nov. /
range and livestock report is
sued by the Bureau of Agricult-
ural Economics.
The central third of Montana
was least favored by October
moisture. Temperatures were
generally above average. The
condition of the range, as re-
ported by stockmen, was placed
at 81 per cent of normal, four
points below a year ago but two
points above the 20-year aver
age. A good stand of cured
grass will furnish good winter
feed in most localities.
The condition of cattle Is re-
ported at 81 per cent Of normal,
the same as the 20-year average
but two points below a year ago.
Cattle generally are in good con-
dition as they 60 in winter. The
supply of hay and roughage in
the state is somewhat lower
than last years, and the cattle
population is larger. A hard
winter would probably result in
a scarcity of hay in the western
and central part of the state. it
was pointed out. Prices of both
hay and feed grains have adj
vanced considerably during the
past few months. Marketirgs
have picked up somewhat dur
ing October, but are still rela-
lively slow, and not sufficient to
reduce inventories.
Sheep condition at 80 per cent
of normal is about two points
below the average of the past
five years. Selling of old ewes,
as we'll as eve lambs; has been
active, as sheepmen continue
trying to reduce stock sheep
numbers. Little demand for
breeding ewes exists. Lack Of
skilled labor and the high cost
of feed is having a depressing
effect on the sheep industry at
present.

about 10000 head larger.
Reports from states outside
the corn belt are that cattle
feeding operations in nearly all
of these states will be below
last year and the smallest in
the last five years, at least. Be-
cause Of the reduced production
of sugar beet feeds and the
smaller number of sugar fac
tories operating this season, the
number of cattle fed by these
factories will be substantially
smaller than last year.
In October, as in preceding
months, the preference of cat
tie feeders was for heavier
weights of feeders and prices
of these were high in relation
to yearlings or calves. Slaugh-
ter records indicate that a rel
atively large number of calves,
that in recent years would have
been taken for stockers or for
feeding, went to slaughterers in
