Now that the frenzy is past, the

mutual experiences trying to get to-

ness until she had completed a deal
for two Of the precious pasteboards.
Once the negotiations were over, the
customers manner changed. The
voice that had been sweet suddenly
became edged with ice as she OBJ
served to the harrassed chap in the
boxoffice:
well, this Is interesting consider
ing that NOT EVEN could get

once as the other party on the

ended up at least semifriends.

Rommel got through Kasserine
Gap he had the choice Of turning
south to capture the American I'd
Corp supplies or north through
Thala to outfiank the British. -
He tried both places-hard. The
British and American guns bounced
him back from Thala. Combat
Command "B" under Gen. Robinett
stopped his southwark challenge
cold. Then the American air forces
went to work on Rommel in the
exposed valley. Baff1ed and still
gas-hungary, his panzers withdrew
on the long road to defeat.

credit for the stand that prevented

Iduced "a transformation in the I'd

This left Gen. Fredendall only
one heavy tank battalion. It was
under Brig. Gen. Paul Mcdonald
Robinett - slim, small cantanker-
Gus commander of Combat Com
mand "B."
A brilliant tactician, Gen. Rob-
inett and his men stubbornly held
of a German force at least five
times their size until the infantry
could withdraw Then they pulled
out in perfect order.
I bring up all this because Field
Marshal Sir Harold Alexander, per-
haps Britain's finest soldier, says In
his memoirs that the Americans
had mo co-ordinated plan of de-
tense" at this time. That's true.
They were confused. Their plan
had been knocked in the head the
first night.
Field Marshall Alexander also
says the decisive engagement a few
days later which halted Rommel
at Thala was fought by a British
armored brigade and infantry bat
talon supported by two battalions
of American 9Th Infantry.

US. Rout at kasserine
On Valentine Day, '43,
Held Command Error
By Hal Boyle
Associotsd Press Stoff Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Five years
ago this week "the desert rat" paid
a Valentine visit to the American
forces in North Africa.
In the next few days this tempes-
tuous Teuton-Field Marshall Erwin
Ronlmel-sent the overwhelmed
Yanks spinning back 40 miles.
That was the only time I ever led
troops. I ran back 4l1s miles.
After a week Of wild rampaging,
Rommel trundled- his panzers back
into the Tunisian coastal hills, leav-
ing behind the hulks of SO Ameri-
can tanks and 80 overrun field
guns.
Since then 1t has been the fashion
to treat the battle Of Kasserine Gap
as a great defeat caused by the
greenness OF American troops.
Needless Slur' on Men.
This ready explanation puts a
needless and untrue slur on the
men who fought there, men who
really had done considerable fight
ing already. And 1t hides the fact
that much of the blame belongs on
the top brass.
Many of the men went to their
deaths believing they were fighting
the battle the wrong way. I know
this because one evening they told
me so, and the next evening they
were dead,
There will always be some con-
troversy over the battle of Kasser-
inc. Many American officers who
fought there believe the record
would have been considerably better
If their units hadn't been fed to
Rommel a battalion at a time.
Taking the evidence of all saw
and heard, this is how 1t looks to
me five years after:
There was no American Army"
In Tunisia-only the I'd Corps, made
UP of the 1st Infantry and 1st
Armored Divisions with supporting
units. ,..s b.. .-. ...
Briton in Command.
They were strung out along 150-
mile north-south front on the right
flank of the British 1st Army, with
British Maj. Gen. Kenneth A. N.
Anderson in overall command. The
sea to the east and this joint
British-American force on the west
made a corridor through which
Field Marshall Montgomery's 9Th
Army was driving Rommel's Afrika
Corps toward Tunis after a 1,500-
mile pursuit.
It was foreseen that Rommel
would try to break out of the cor
ridor to crap the supplies of gaso-
line he needed desperately. He
could strike at the British through
the mountain pass at Pichon or
through Faid Pass near the center
of the thin American line.
Gen. Anderson thought Rommel
would choose Pichon. But "the
desert rat" came through Faid Pass
with three full veteran Panzer
divisions.
Mai. Gen. Lloyd R. Fredendall, I'd
Corps commander, frantically de-
manded that he be permitted to re-
group the 1st Armored and 1st In
fantry and fight them as full diW-
sions to meet this threat
Thought 1t Was Diversion.
Gen. Anderson refused, believing
that the Faid attack was only a
diversion and that the main Ger
man blow would still come at him
through Pichon. He didn't want
to commit all American armor at
Faid.
I'm going to be the goat in this"
Gen. Fredendall said when Gen. An
derson's reply came.
So the first day one battalion
from the 1st Armored was sent
against the Germans. Outgunned,
outnumbered-but not outfought-
1t was destroyed. The next day a
second American tank battalion was

had wanted to do. He doubled
the size Of the corps and insisted
that each division be permitted to
fight as o unit under tactical
American command.
What of Gen. Anderson, the man
behind the initial Allied strategy
at Kasserine?
After the Tunisian war he went
home, was knighted and promoted,
and cited by President Roosevelt.
In 1914 he was made commander
in chief of the eastern command in
Britain, a London post.

Foremost of the many Negro
athletes who will participate in
the National Collegiate track and
field meet June 1919 at the Uni
versity of Minnesota is Harrison
billiard of Baldwin Wallace Col
lege, Berea, Ohio.
billiard is generally accepted by
all the nations leading track
authorities as the best track and
field athlete in the world today.
He has shattered all records for
consecutive triumphs in individu-
al races by having come home the
winner in nearly 90 straight times
against all competition.
Already this spring billiard has
broken one world reCord--that in
the l2O-yard high hurdles event
during the Kansas Relays. His
time was an amazing 1876 seconds
Every expert who has seen Dill
lard in action agrees that he is
the best bet of the United States
for a championship in the Olym-
pic Games at London in August.
Because the National Collegiate
meet at Memorial Stadium June
1919 is an official Semi-final for
places on the United States Olym-
pic track and field team, billiard
must qualify through this compe-
titlOn.
