ITALIANS APPEAR
 EAGER TO GIVE UP
Two British Orderlies in Tunisia Capture Entire
 Company of 90 Men
BY DONALD COE iTIniked Press Staff COrreSDOndent

With British Forces. Northern Tunisia, March 3l - (Delayed - (UP)-Two British medical orderlies captured an entire Italian company of 99 men today, and found It un- believably easy because the Italians appeared eager to surrender.
 Its 6 pity it couldn't have been an even hundred" orderly Joe King of Peterborough, Lincolnshire, said as he and Robert Spencer of Birm- ingham marched back from the front behind their prisoners.
 They were returning from an ad- yanced infantry position with l2 Italian prisoners who were carrying | two of their own wounded ana one French Moroccan native trooper on stretchers. Near an open space they saw an enemy column approaching from the side.
 All took cover and, when King fi- nally stepped forward with gun ready, the head of the column dis played a white flag. King and Spen" cer disarmed the major in coni- mand and his 98 men.
 Another group of l2 Italian pri- soners was Lcing taken away in truck, guarded by one FrenchInan who sat on the tail board. The truck hit a bump and the guard was thrown to the ground. Instead or trying to escape to their own lines only an hours walk away, the ltal- ians yelled for the driver to stop os,A ,Ntoly aiFA their guard
 The British First Army was push ing steadily beyond SedJenane on the Jefna road, capturing much en- emy equipment as 1t went.
 The artillery had pounded the en- enemy unmercifully and accurate ly. softening them up for the in- fantry advance by British tommies and the Moroccan Goums.
 Piles of abandoned German and Italian ammunition were in eVi- dence along the route.
 Hard fighting continued south or Tebouna phosphate mine, near Sed- jenane, after the British had coIn- pbsted occupation of the mine aIter eight bayonet charges.
 The Gouns rprised German
 units as they were getting ut of trucks near Tebouna Tuesday. talk ing 30 prisoners and inflicting cas- ualties.
 The fighting was proceeding in some of the toughest country In | Tunisia, Allied forces are being sup piled by mules which can get through the rocky, scrubby terrain that has no roads.

the buying was much faster than it should be and predicted consuln- CTS who quickly spend their points will probably blame the rationing program when they run out of Sup- plies, Much educational work will be necessary before consumers learn how to use their points, retailers say.
 Meanwhile lack of poultry has brought cries of "black market" from many sources. one whole- saler said this morning poultry Sup- plies are very light and there is little chance for an increase in the near future. One source said sev- eral retailers are paying neighbor- ing farmers prices that are con- siderably over the OPA ceiling llm- its and are upSetting the whole market system. The action may be taken against such practice loomed as a strong possibility, as complalnants continued to conduct personal investigation.
 Additional shipments of meat are expected here today or later this week, under an emergency allot- ment of the Food Distribution Ad. ministration, but wholesalers state the supplies as they stand now are as large as those of last week, and 1t is believed they will be great enough to satisfy all ration" dee mantls.
 The best business of the month was reported by retailers of pro. cessed food last night as con- sumers hurried to spend their March coupons before the deadline. Much of the buying was condemned by observers as unnecessary, with GUS sumers making purchases not be- cause they needed the food but be- cause they had the points.
 Many consumers have already used large portions of their April processed food rations, and retail. CTS believe this is an indication that supplies stored up before the ra. tioning program took effect are becoming depleted.

FEED SHORTAGE FEARED
Poultry Growers May Liquidate
Some of Their Chickens

The feed shortage is rapidly
reaching the point where farmers
are going to have to liquidate some
of their chickens in order to make
the numbers of poultry and the
amount of feed come out anywhere
near even, according to Edmund
Hoffman,, research poultryman for
the University of Delaware. AL
though reports on the feed situa-
ton have been confusing to say the
least, the unacceptable fact is that
there is only enough feed to supply
about 80 per cent of the feed con-
Stunning animals for the period be-
tween new and October 81. AL
though the new crops will ease the
situation somewhat in the fall, it is
also true that the 1943 crop will
be well below the miracle crops of
the past two years and will be in
adequate to maintain present num-
bers of livestock through the 1914
harvest.

NEED
FOR WORKERS
Kent and Sussex Counties
Need 5000 For Work On
Farm Jobs
FEAR CROP LOSS

A shortage of 5000 workers in
Kent and Sussex Counties will soon
exist unless every available resi-
dent of the region who can do so
signs up for full or part time work,
employment officials declared. Ell
mer H. Smith, state director of the
U. S. Employment Service, and
Thomas Russell, manager of the
southern Delaware District, out
lined the labor shortage, which they
said is very serious.
Industrial Workers
Mr.. Russell said there is already
a shortage of approximately 1000
industrial workers needed for full
time regular employment in essen
tial industries, particularly in Sea-
ford and Laurel. If these activities
are to operate at capacity, more
residents must be found who will
take jobs in them, he said.
Canneries Need Workers
Besides the shortage of industrial
workers, the food processing plants
and canneries in the district will
need 5000 additional workers for
the tomato and lima bean packs, he
declared. He added that while the
latter jobs will be of short duration
their Importance cannot be over
emphasized, for unless these work.
ers can be found, the crops in Kent
and Sussex Counties will be lost"
Explains Plan
Mr.. Smith explained the employ
ment sterilization plan which is in
effect throughout Delaware. Under
provisions of the plan, he said, no
workers employed in an essential
activity may be hired by another
employer unless the worker has a
Statement of availability" issued
by his present employer or the u.

STABLE PRICE PROMISED

AS the crop of new potatoes now
on the market is ample for all
needs, including those of the armed
forces and our Allies as well as
civilians, Clicord w. Shedd, state
supervisor, Food Distribution Adj
ministration, appealed to Delaware
farmers not to dig potato crops I'M
til they are fully matured. Mr..
Shed said early digging will reduce
the yield. The government is ready
to stand firmly behind its potato
price support program when the
crops are harvested, he said. mo
farmer will lose single dollar by
allowing potatoes to stay in the
ground until the vegetables are
fully matured," Mr.. Shedd said.
To Avoid Glut
Delaware potatoes will be
bought at a price of $2.25 a hun
dred-weight if the market falls be-
low this price from now on through
the end of the potato season next
August" The FDA official stated
that the bumper crop of new pota-
toes dug before maturity would
only add to an adequate supply
and create a tendency toward a
glut. Food is a weapon in this
war we are waging and every
pound of it must be used for the
best possible advantage. There can
