Hitler Decides Against Taking French Fleet. Base (Continued From Page One) tlnued to declare that "no unit of the French fleet stationed at Toulon has left port," French circles here who usually have reliable information said they still believed some ships steamed away several days ago. Although the position .of, the fleet was the most vital question today, the situation revolving bout Marshal Petain and mem bers of his government also was of the greatest importance. The greatest confusion was re ported in Vichy. The German correspondent of the Hamburger Fremdenblatt said frankly that many French officials were hav ing difficulty in making up their minds whether to side with America and England or accept the Germans. Indicative of the confusion, a broadcast by Marshal Petain was scheduled at 11 a. m., and then cancelled. . Whether he would speak today no one with sources of information in Vichy pro fessed to know. . TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY ONLY " THE WELL TRAINED may be able to hold good posi tions, after the war.

Advices from Istanbul last night said that Rumanian and Hungarian railroads already were crowded with German troops moving westward In the general direction of Greece and Italy. The movements appeared to be entirely defensive and there seemed no reason to believe that they constituted a possible threat to Turkey, it was stated here. (The Paris radio, however, in hrnnrirnst heard in London to day, said that all Turkish sold iers, sailors and airmen had been ordered to rejoin their units at once.) HOUR WEEK ASKED (Continued From Page One) would be paid for at regular rates in bonds. Job Frees Protested Fulton said that in recom mending bond payment for addi tional overtime brought about by inauguration of the 48-hour week, the committee desired to prevent inflationary cash in creases in present wages. Harry C. Bates, president of the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers International union, protested to a senate labor com mittee against "any legislation that would freeze n worker on his Job." Hiring Policy Bates declared sufficient man power was available if it were properly catalogued and if un employed persons were sent to areas where their services were needed, saying thousands of building trades workers at pre sent are unemployed in New York City, in New England and in other localities where war plants are not under construc tion. In a report sharply critical of the administration's failure .to evolve a comprehensive pro gram, the committee urged that the problem of channeling suffi cient workers into war indus tries be approached by govern ment direction of employers' hir ing policies rather than in coer cive measures applied to the in dividual employe. .The report, prepared under the direction of Chairman Kil- gore (D-W. Va.), of a subcommit tee, proposed that the work week be increased to 48 hours "where ever practicable," with the addi tional overtime pay given to workers in bonds which they could cash only after the war or could use only in meeting feder al taxes. Divorcee Asks Eviction of Sons From Home SEATTLE, Nov. 12 WV-Mrs. Maude Butchick, divorcee, to day asked Superior Judge James T. Ronald to evict from her home her 19-year-old twins, Pearl and Ruby, and to compel tnem to pay her $30 in overdue room rent. The judge postpon ed the case and appointed their aunt, Mrs. TUlie Noel of Kent, as their guardian for the suit, The tearful twins said their mother refused to accept $10 monthly rent each agreed to pay her when they obtained em ployment three months ago. Mrs. Butchick did not testify, Coming SATURDAY MIDN.TE! IBB E NEAR COASTLINE (Continued From Page One) Nations land forces included United States army troops under Ma j. -Gen. Charles Fyder and the British 1st army under Gen. K. A. N. Anderson. As the higher-ranking officer. Gen. Anderson was in command. Axis Claims "At least 19 axis aircraft were set on fire (at Tunis) and as many again damaged," British head quarters announced. The Vichy (French) radio had previously denied that axis aer ial forces were landing in Tun isia, as reported by the allied command yesterday. . Hitler's high command report ed that axis planes, joining in the battle of northwest Africa, had bombed American-held Al giers and scored hits on two air craft carriers, two cruisers, two destroyers and a big merchant ship off the Algerian coast. Nasi Strength All these claims lacked con firmation from any allied source. The communique said two transports totaling 16,000 tons were sunk at Bougie,' allied occupied port 110 miles east of Algiers, and declared that "con tinuous waves" of axis planes attacking allied landing parties bad damaged 12 warships and merchant ships. Allied reports said the Ger mans had sent about 1000 air men, with dive-bombers and fighters, to Tunisia to meet the Anglo-American offensive. American and British troops under Lieut.-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower were reported speed ing across Algeria to combat any axis attempt to seize the key French colony and also to help trap Field Marshal Erwin Rom mel's armies retreating from Egypt.' A British communique said the mass of Rommel's tattered African corps had reached a point between Bardia and Gam but, well ' inside Libya, ' under violent attack by allied war planes. - ' Italians in Corsica As for Rommel's hapless allies, left in the lurch when nazi mech anized forces pulled stakes in headlong flight from El Aiamein, the "German news agency DNB reported that German transport planes were engaged every da in bringing wounded Italians from the Quattara depression to the axis stronghold at Tobruk, Libya. While Hitler tightened his grip on southern France, Italian troops descended on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, Napoleon's birthplace, a potent ial stepping-stone for allied in vasion of Italy. " On the allied side of the led ger, a United Nations spokesman dropped a cryptic hint that oper ations may be developing about Dakar, French West Africa. "1 think they (Dakar's defend ers) are in a rather hopeless posi tion," the spokesman said. He refused to amplify the remark. French Morocco, above Dakar, on the Atlantic coast, and Al geria on the African Mediter ranean coast, are now firmly in American hands.

"We conferred all day and night until we had gathered all the information we wanted." Meanwhile Arab servants had decided that something suspici ous was going on and had gone to the axis-controlled Vichy po lice. The conference of Ameri can and French officers received word that police were on the way. "I never saw such excitement In my life,". Clark said with a laugh. "Maps disappeared like lightning. A French general in military uniform changed into civilian clothes in a minute flat, and I last saw him going out the window. They were going in all directions." Clark and his staff gathered up their papers and guns and hid in an empty wine cellar as police ' talked to the owner of the house over their heads. One. of the commando officers whispered, "I'm afraid if I hold this cough back any longer I'm going to choke to death." "I'm afraid you won't choke," Clark joked. The tall angular American general crouched in the cellar with a revolver in one hand and 15,000 francs in his pocket. 1 "If the police came down I was undecided whether to shoot them or bribe them," he said. After spending an hour hid den away, the police departed, partly satisfied.. The mission members decided it was no time to linger and, gathering their papers together, they departed. ' It was then that they lost their pants and shirts and practically everything else when their boats upset crossing some water nearby. RUSSIA DROPS OFF (Continued From Page One) - and no deaths were caused, the dispatches said.

In the past 2 hours, Moscow says, there have been only 200 German flights as coin pared with former averages of 1S00 to 2000 flights In the same period. A good guess Is that Hitler Is rushing his air strength to the Mediterranean, as It Is the fight ing arm that can bo moved swift ly. Today's dispatches indicnte that a mighty air battle, prob ably the greatest In history, Is shaping up In Tunisia. ... IEEP this In mind: So far, the emphasis has bcon on AMERICAN participation In the African campaign. That has been for propaganda effect on the French and the Italians. It Is certain that tho British are carrying their full share of the load, and It Is probable that they are carrying the major share. They are closest to the scene. ... . ANKARA reports today say " Hitler has withdrawn 40 di visions from the Russian front nearly one-fourth of his entire strength there. If that is true, It means the Russians are being helped materially already, AS to the French fleet, Vichy (now ALL German) says to day the Germans have agreed not to occupy Toulon and that the French warships will be "safeguarded." That' has a slightly ominous sound. Vichy Cabinet Cuts Off Giraud For Cooperation VICHY (From French Broad casts), Nov. 12 m The Vichy cabinet met tonight, with Mar shal Petain presiding, to hear a report on the North African situ ation from Pierre Laval. ' The Vichy radio (now axis controlled) said a government statement had charged that Gen eral Henri Giraud, "in accept, tng from the enemy the com mand of French forces in Africa, has failed In his word, forfeited his honor and betrayed his duty as an officer."
