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. .

Hitler Reported
Moving Troops

might enable them to launch a
winter offensive with good
chances of success, it was stated.
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.

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.

form, although they had come In
civilian clothes," said Clark.
"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.

and no deaths were caused, the
dispatches said. '
.German garrisons, clinging to
precarious footholds on the out
skirts of Stalingrad, were re
ported placing metal nets over
the windows of occupied houses
for protection against Russian
hand-grenades. '
No Developments
Winter tightened its grip on
the front. The Volga was chok
ed with, floating ice and whip
ped by bitter winds in sub-zero
temperatures.
' No major developments were
reported from the other sectors
Dispatches said that, in rela
tively small enlargements, the
initiative passed back and forth
several times. In the Nalchik
area an attack by two German
battalions was repulsed, while
the Russians drove home coutv

bombs. 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.
