My star recipe for this month is
a pudding recipe one that may
be made even by the cook whose
ration coupons are practically all
used. And this pudding made
almost entirely from unrationed
foods will please both the adults
and the children. 1t is economical;
it is healthful and it is easy to
prepare. That brings It pretty

Georgia Prison Break
Leader Again Captured
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MACON, Ga, May 8.-Fugitive
Leland Harvey was captured by two
city policemen tonight when he
sought to dash out the door of a
grocery, his pockets bulging with
money from two of the stores cash
registers.
The convict, who was a leader
in the escape of 25 prisoners from
Georgia State Penitentiarv April 16,
reached for pistol but Patrolman
Jim Flynt pinioned his arms before
he could draw.
Only two weeks ago Harvey and
D. c. Black, another leader in the
mass break, were captured by Bibb
County deputies. Both escaped from
county Jail later, using a pistol
smuggled to them.
The day after the escape, a man
who said he was Harvey telephoned
the State executive mansion and
threatened to kidnap Gov. Arnall's
son, Alvan, 5, unless the Statewide
hunt for him was called Of.
Harvey's capture tonight left
three OF the Is convicts at large.

| Among First to

When the American forces oc-
cupied Ferryville in Northern Tu-
nisia Friday, among the first SOL
diers to enter the town was Sergt
Clark Keeler, 30. He is the son of
Mrs. Nelson Bertrand Keeler of 1904
Albemarle street NV.
A dispatch received from Ferry
vile last night said Sergt. Keeler
and Sergt. Alan Dinehart, jr., son of
the movie and stage actor. were in
the second car reaching Ferryville.
The two were fired on Thursday
when they tried to enter the town
after being informed mistakenly
that the town had been taken from
the NaZis.

ticed law here before his entrance
into the Army year ago in April.

All the while scattered enemy
guns lobbed shells into the suburbs
from high wooded ground north of
LIE Bardo, adjoining the city.
The Hussar troop, followed by
patrol of the first rifle brigade, ad-
vanced along the main highway into
the city as amazed civilians rushed
to the curb cheering and tried to
pat the dusty vehicles with their
hands.
Needless of danger although occa-

explosions from the enemy's des-

least seven points in the area,
French and native populations lit

of the first British soldiers.
French cafe keepers threw open
their wine stocks to celebrate the
occasion. Soldiers grinned at the
big show from their vehicles which
were parked near roadside trees, but
remained onlookers.
Proceeding to the old Roman arch

TUN1S, May Delayed .-Hys-
terically happy inhabitants by the
tens of thousands welcomed the
Allied armies into Tunis late today,
even as British armored cars and
tanks broke down German resistance
in hot street fighting at the historic
gateway to the Kasbah-native
quarter.
In more than two hours of skir-
mishing through narrow, crowded
alleys, British advance guards round
ed up approximately l 500 dazeo and
bewildered German prisoners and a
smaller number of Italians.
Four hundred Tommies captured
in the offensive last week and await
ing transportation to Italy suddenly
were liberated from a prison yard
inside Tunis.
By only one day, another $50 Brit
ish prisoners missed regaining their
freedom. They were shipped from
Tunis yesterday by the Germans.
Armored cars of the 11th Hussars,
with the red desert rat Insignia
first in Bengasi and the first in Trip
oli-won for the 9th Army the honor
of being the first into Tunis. A pa.
troll of the 9th Army's famous ar
mored scouts arrived at junction
of two roads from Tebourba and
Medjez-El-Bab, kilometers outside
the city limits of Tunis just after
pm.

pleased by the bouquets, they were
more deeply satisfied by the knoWl-
edge they had demonstrated con-
clusively to the world and the folks
back home that they had what it
takes to take what the Nazis had.
Some of the Germans were sullen
and angry. Some were anxious to
be friendly, offering uniform decora-
tions and military medals as souve-
Mrs to their American captors. Some
were as happy and chatty as if they
were going on picnic hay ride.
German Prisoners Dazed.
But most of them just stood in
heavy silence, dazed by battle weari-
ness and weeks of burying into
the cold earth seeking vainly for
haven from artillery fire that has
never let up since the Americans
jumped off in their attack along
35-mile front north of Beja on
April %.
The Yanks were charitable, giving
cigarettes and water to the German
prisoners. But there was no excess
sentiment in this gesture.
When one truckload of prisoners
passed an American tankman
shouted ito hell with Hitler"
None of the Germans looked as if
they disagreed with this viewpoint.
One American soldier who under
stood German gave cigarette and
light to one prisoner whose tired
eyes flashed his gratitude. The
American then asked him casually to
what company he belonged.
What does that matter now
they are all dead or wounded except
one or two like me-" the prisoner
answered and began weeping.
More typical of the true Nazi
spirit was tough young sergeant
who, when told that Tunis had
fallen to British and Bizerte to the
Americans and French, sneered:

taxes already deducted.
Every hand waved the V-for-vic-
tory signal and fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers, babies and grand
fathers pelted the grinning troops
with a thousand bouquets of fresh,
colorful blossoms.
No Roman emperor, returning
from conquest, ever got the spon-
taneous greeting given these grease
stained boys from Dubuque and the
Bronx, who rode their battle cars
over the path of petals, snatched
many kiss in passing and rode on
to war.
The tricolor of France billowed in
beauty over the heads of the mill
ing throng, calling at every pass
ing vehicle, "Vive les Americans.
Yank Waves Tricolor.
THE town hasn't been damaged
much and we got the city hall
jammed with prisoners" shouted
Maj Asbury Lee of Clearfeld. Pa.
They just came out from every
where. They blew up an arsenal
here and docks and boats We had
to fight our way here but everything
was okay after we got in town.
Three days ago there were 1000
Germans here"
A burst of applause interrupted
him-the crowd yelling wildly for
an American soldier on a half-track
who had snatched up a French flag
and waved it aloft with one hand
while the other held his machine
gun. He was the biggest hero Of the
day to these people who loved him
for that gesture.

Germans indicated they originally
had planned to make long stand
in the Ferryville area. A dozen
great earth embankments for gun
emplacements were built on the
plains below the city but the swift
attack by the Americans, British
and French on all fronts proved too
much-the Nazis had neither the
men nor the weapons to hold out

Japs on Attu Island
Get Heaviest Aerial
Pounding Of War
Navy Announces 7 Raids
Launching Expanded
Offensive in North
BY the Associated Press.

Army heavy and medium bombers
and swift fighter planes gave Japa-
nese troops on Attu Island their
heaviest aerial pounding of the war
Thursday, the Navy disclosed yes
terday, in series of seven raids
launching an expanded air offen-
sive in the North Pacific.
At the same time Warhawk fight

blasted installations on Kiska
Island. Japan's main base in the
Aleutians. in five raids. A commu-
nique said direct hits were scored
on enemy positions.
The Attu assaults were made by
Mitchell twin-engine craft and
Lightning fighters.
Hits were scored in all target
areas and several fires were
started" the Navy said.
Until Thursday Attu, Westernmost
of the Aleutians and 233 nautical
miles beyond the American base on
Amchitka, had been the target of
only occasional attacks. Kiska had
taken the heavy beating, with as
many as Is raids day. Kiska is
only So nautical miles west of Am
chitka, whose new American air
base was announced by the Navy
Friday.
On both Attu and Kiska the Jap
anese have been trying to carve air
fields out of rocky hillsides. The
main objective of the American raids
on Kiska apparently has been to
prevent their completing the task
and beginning air operations against
American positions in the Aleutians.
The attacks were so concentrated on
Kiska that Attu was raided only
seven times in April-presumably
the japanese there had opportunity
to press their construction work
much nearer completion than on
Kiska.
1t appeared possible, therefore,
that the immediate aim of the heavy
bombing of Attu was to knock out
recently built installations and delay
commissioning of an air base there
if not to prevent it all together.
On the other hand the develop
ment of multiple raids on Attu might
have been made possible simply by
the amount of damage wrought on
Kiska during the past two months
damage which has been so consider
able that the enemy is still far from
the point at which he can begin to
fly combat planes, other than float
planes, from that island.

Allied Flyers Sink
Small Jap Transport
Al New Guinea Port
Enemy Supply Depot Hit
By Heavy Force for
Second Straight Day
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA Sunday May ga
small transport, its decks and su-
perstructure congested with Japa-
nese troops, was fired and sunk yes
terday in the second straight day
of heavy Allied air attacks on Ma
dang, New Guinea.
Three bomb hits from mast height
sent the ship to the bottom near
Madang's fine harbor on New Gui-
meas north coast, and another bomb
hit started a small cargo vessel to
sinking.
The enemy showed more aerial
opposition than it had in recent
weeks, sending up 13 fighters to op-
pose the Allied medium bombers
and long range fighters. No allied
losses we're reported but one OF the
japanese interceptors was downed,
two more damaged, and another de-
stroyed on the ground.
Madang is $50 miles northwest of
the Allied base of Port Moresby and
has been utilized recently for the
landing of troops and supplies in
tended for overland delivery to the
enemys hard-pressed bases at Lac
and Salamaua to the southeast on
the Huon Gulf. The more direct
route from New Britain and New
Ireland to Lac and Salamaua had
proved too costly, notably in the
case OF the destruction of %
ship convoy in the Bismarck sea.
Could Have Carried 800.
The transport was sufficiently
large to have carried 300 troops.
There was no indication in which
direction the ships were travelling
when attacked half mile off the
harbor entrance. Since the Japan
ese, in addition to reinforcing Lac
and Salamaua, are intent on build
ing up strong base at Madang, it
was considered unlikely that the
transport was outward bound.
Medium units and long-range
fighters with strong fighter escort
attacked transport and cargo ship
off the harbor entrance" the noon
communique said.
The transport, its deck and
Elperstructure crowded with troops,
was first set on FIRE by machine gun
strafing and then sunk by three
direct hits from masthead height
with 500-pound bombs
Coastal Barges Strafed.
Two direct hits with heavy
bombs we're scored on the cargo
vessel which was left burning and
sinking. Thirteen or more enemy
fighters intercepted, one being shot
down and two damaged in aerial
combat. Another fighter caught on
the ground before a takeof was
destroyed by strafng.
Enemy occupied villages along
the coast were bombed and strafed
on the homeward flight
Elsewhere in the territory north
east of Australia, the airdrome of
Vunakanau at Rabaul on the north
ern tip of the volcano-studded Ga
zelle Peninsula of New Britain, was
attacked by single heavy bomber.
Barges, used by the japanese for
coastal supply, and coastal luggers,
launches and small power boats
were strafed along the north coast
of New Britain and near Rookie
Island.
Above Madang. a single FLYING
Fortress fought off an attack by
seven japanese fighters.

Action faces the new local immedi-
ately. \ taxi pool has been formed
here under the aegiS of The Canadian
transit controller, and the grouping
involves reducing the number of taXiS
in operation from lO3 to 50. The new
local and the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil contend there Will be much unem-
ploNment OF drivers because Of the re-
duction in the number of taXiS avail

The local has gone on record as
favoring complete support for gasoline
and tire conservation, but also approx
ing the competitive taxi system which
has always prevailed here until the
