BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Although there is crepe on
most ofiicial and party buildings
in Germany, indicating the
nations mourning for the loss
OF the armies in Stalingrad,
and flags have been flying at
half stan, a Nazi offensive from
Tunisia is expected within the
next few weeks.
The conclusion drawn from
these outward indications OF
mourning that German morale
is likely to collapse Is considered
wishful thinking In responsible
quarters.
On the contrary, Hitler IS
believed to have decided to
offer his people a morale booster
in the shape Of . spectacular
show in Tunisia.
The armies of Gen. Juergen
Won Arnim and Marshal Erwin
Rommel are now joined. ROM
mel is reported to have assumed
supreme command Of all land,
sea and air forces In that area.
The number Of troops at his
disposal Is not definitely known.
Available estimates vary from
$4,000 to 10000 men.
Army Of Nazi Veterans.
With the exception Of an Ital-
ian foot division. the rest Of
these forces are veteran Nazi
fighters. The withdrawal Of the
Afrika Korps from Libya and
Tripolitania may be described as
leisurely. Strong rear-guard &C
tons have been fought against
the advancing British 9th Army
Of Gen. Bernard Montgomery.
But 1t appears that the deci-
sion to make Tunisia the princi-
pal basis for further operations
in North Africa was reached by
Rommel the day the American
British forces landed. From that
time on, the forces Of the Nazi
marshal were withdrawn in good
order and with a minimum OF
loss. All the reported actions
were engagements of relatively
small attachments, left behind
to cover the korps' retreat.
Since November Q important
reinforcements Of troops and
war material have been rushed
from Sicily and Sardinia. At
one time the average number of
troops taken by sea and air from
the principal Nazi bases amount
ed to $500 q day.
Could Protect Transports.
1t is true that Allied subma-
rines and planes have been in
flicting serious damage. But the
Nazis had an adequate naval and
air protection for their transports
and In many cases weather con-
ditionS favored them.
In view Of the fact that the
distance between Sicily or Sar-
DINA and the Tunisian ports Of
Bizerte, Sfax and Gabes does
not exceed $50 miles, the
weather advantage" was an i'm
portant point In favor of the
enemy.
The Allies had hoped the enc
my would not be able to take
across sufncient supplies to per-
NIT the start OF an offensive. The
latest estimates have revised
that opinion.
There are two factors which
lead Allied military observers to
believe = Na1 offensive against

How We Helped

POWER GENERATION. More than one
half of all the electric power generated by electric
light and power companies in the U. S. is pro-
duced by generators manufactured by General
Electric.
And such has been the Improvement in the
eficiencies of rurbine-driven generators that if
the electric power used in 1912 had been pro-
duced with the machines of 1924, it would have
required more than million extra cars of coal
and one hundred and forty thousand men just to
mine and haul this extra coal.
POWER DISTRIBUTION. To have ample
power available wherever new war plants have
sprung up requires large and highly efficient
transforming and switching equipment and the
solution Of highly intricate engineering prob
lens. General Electric has had hand, and
head, in the development and manufacture of
much Of this equipment.

State toLack
Payroll Funds

Lansing. Apr pap Fred C.
Striffler, state budget director,
said that he had approved prev
iously-ordered pay raises for en-
ployes Of the Pontiac State Hos
pital and State Prison of Southern
Michigan, although he did not
know how they would be financed
after July /.
The raises, authorized by the
state civil service department re-
Gently. were held up by Striffler's
predecessor, Acting Director c. J.
Mcneil, on the grounds the agen-
cies lacked funds to make them
permanent.
The two institutions Sriffler
said, have the funds to pay the
raises until the end of the current
fiscal year June 80, but don't
know how we'll solve the problem
after that. They were given addi-
tional money by the legislature for
increases in costs OF material and
might have used some of it for pay
rolls, but with costs jumping. the
way they are now don't think
there will be any slack left
Striffler said he would expect the
agencies to find means Of meeting
the raises in the next fiscal year,
and reminded department heads
new formula adopted by the law
makers instructs all department
heads to trim their payrolls any
time it appears they will not wind
up the fiscal year in the black.
