Boa Bombed
The British and American as
wult force from eastern Algeria
itreamed across the border into
the attack, apparently ready for
any issue and able to back up its
bid for Bizerte and Tunisia with
powerful force.
The Germans reported bomb
ing the airfield and Port of Bone,
the eastern Algeria advance base
of the British-American attack.
Reuters said it recorded a
broadcast by the Morocco radio
reporting that Hitler had or
dered German forces in Tunisia
to hold on at any cost.
Where Is Romtnelt
Without giving the source of
its report, Reuters said in Lon
don that Rommel was reported
to be in Munich where it said he
had been called on the carpet by
Hitler.
The Morocco radio said new
United States contingents were
streaming into north Africa from
numerous landing points, and
that Lieut Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower, commander of the AEF,
had moved east to be nearer to
the new fighting.
Occupation Seen
The Vichy radio, broadcast a
dispatch from La Llnea, Spain,
reporting that two allied battle
ships; two aircraft carriers, four
cruisers and. nine destroyers
ailed Into the Mediterranean
from Gibraltar this morning.
Such a force could hit heavily at
axis efforts to open troop rein
forcement lanes to Tunisia across
the central Mediterranean.
A Moscow broadcast quoting
the Turkish newspaper Ikdam
Hid that once the allies had
cleared the axis out of north Af
rica they could be expected to
occupy the islands of Crete, Sar
dinia and Corsica and "make
their first jump into Europe via
the Italian mainland."
The RAF, meanwhile, an
nounced another . destructive
Wow at the axis-held Tunis air
drome at dusk Saturday, and
further attacks after dark which
destroyed six big German planes
and left airport buildings ablaze.

and two hospital ships remain at
Gibraltar -under the protection
of two battleships and several
destroyers.
This means, if it is true, that
more of our naval strength is
going into the fight to PREVENT
reinforcements from reaching
the Germans In Tunisia.
There is still no. word of the
Italian fleet.
rvARLAN remains the man of
mystery.
Today's dispatches indicate
clearly that De Gaulle and his
Fighting French are suspicious
of him. De Gaulle say official-
ly that he and the Fighting
French committee in London are
taking no part in the negotia
tions being conducted with
Vichy by the allies in northern
Africa.
It isn't impossible that -there
it jealousy between De Gaulle
and Darlan, who seem on the
face of the incomplete and none
too reliable information so far
available to be emerging as the
outstanding leader of the anti
Vichy French the place so far
held by De Gaulle.
THE Vichy radio broadcasts to
day in the name of Petain a
declaration that Darlan has been
dismissed from all his public
functions and military com
mands. (The Vichy radio Is now
under German control.)

Facts on Mileage Rationing
Features of the plan.
1. All vehicles are reduced to 35 miles per hour.
i. All passenger cars must be inspected for tire conservation
at specified Intervals.
I. AH passenger car applicants for tires or gas will be re
quired to sell to the Government all passenger tires in
excess of five for each car.
4. All passenger car applicants will carry Tire Inspection
Record showing the serial numbers of the five mounted on
their cars.
I. All passenger car applicants are given a basic mileage ra
tion or "A" book for 2880 miles of annual driving divided
into bi-monthly allotments of 480 miles each, or 340 miles
per month.
(. Supplemental or additional gas rations for passenger cart
are issued by the local board according to standards estab
lished by the gasoline rationing regulations.
T. Passenger tires will be available of several grades or quali
ties and Boards will issue a grade of tire to fit the mileage
ration issued.
8. AU commercial vehicles must secure a "certificate of war
necessity" issued by Office of Defense Transportation, which
authorizes the essential mileage for that vehicle. Gasoline
Rations will be issued to commercial vehicles on the basis
of the mileage allowed by such Certificate.
" When issuing other than the basic ration or "A" book, the
Board determines the Applicant's necessary or essential
mileage and gives him a gas book for exactly that essential
mileage and the kind of tire to meet his essential needs at
set forth in Regulations.
What an Applicant does to secure Gas Rations for a PASSENGER
CAR.
1. Secures application form R-534 for "A" Ration book, with
Tire Inspection Record attached at garage, service stations
and rationing board offices.
1. Fills in application form, particularly the serial numbers of
the five passenger tires he wants to keep and delivers all
other tires to the local office of the Railway Express com
pany and receives a receipt. If Applicant has more than
five passenger tires Ration Books will be denied except
that locally it will be possible to declare excess tire at
time of registration. This is because forms for use in turn
ing in tires have been exhausted at the railway express
office. v
3. On November 18', 18 and 20 between 3 p. m. and 8 p. m.,
he appears at his schoolhouse registration place and pre
sents his application to a registrar who determines that it
is properly executed. He must also have his automobile
registration certificate.
4. He receives basic "A" ration book, the Tire Inspection Rec
ord and a sticker for his windshield.
- 8. Should the Applicant believe that he is entitled to more
than thejasis "A" Book, he may ask for and obtain at the
same time an application for additional Gas Rations.
6. The applicant must not execute the supplemental applica
tion at the schoolhouse. The executed supplemental appli
cation should be mailed to the Local Board.
7. If the Applicant is employed by an industrial facility em
ploying 100 or more workers, he will deliver supplemental
application in person to the Transportation Committee of
his establishment. After proper consideration by the Tran
porta tion committee, the application will then be submitted
- to the Local Rationing Board for final approval.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS .;
Tn local supply of Application forms (Forra-R-534) is not
sufficient to permit more than one to be given for each
passenger car. Therefore, it is important that none be lost
or destroyed, and that care be taken to avoid errors in
filling out these forms. Such loss will result in delay In
' securing Ration book.
No spares are permitted for trailers.
Gas application forms and blank forms for listing serial
numbers of tires may be secured from all garages and serv
Ice stations.

Genoa Again
Blistered by
Home-Based RAF
(Continued From Page One)
Genoa has been blasted again
and again to cut Its value at a
source of axis strength In the
north African fighting ashore
and afloat. .
The Sunday night- mission
marked the third time that the
RAF had hammered Genoa with
out a loss.
London commentators ex
pressed belief that the British
bombers had concentrated again
on the Ansaldo Works, which
manufactures engines for war
ships. "Further very large damage"
was caused by the raid at Genoa,
the Italian high command said
in its broadcast communique. It
added that four persons were
killed and 23 injured.

by American planes.
' Late in the afternoon a large
Japanese fleet, containing at
least 12 transports under heavy
warship escort, headed toward
Guadalcanal from the vicinity
of Bougainville, again intent on
putting troops ashore on Guadal
canal. Shortly after midnight enemy
warships bombarded the Amer
ican positions on Guadalcanal as
a preliminary to the proposed
landing, but later, as the trans-
port group approached the is
land, it was smashed by air at
tack, at least eight of the enemy
transports being sunk.
Remaining transports of the
group, however, continued to
ward Guadalcanal.
Total Losses
The night of November 14-13
produced another close range
fight between American and Jap
anese warships In the Guadal
canal area. Details of this action
have not reached the depart

The smashing of the enemy
fleet brought the officially an
nounced total of Japanese losses
in the Solomons to 35 ships sunk,
five probably sunk and 71 dam
aged a total of 111 ships sunk
and damaged.
The United States has lost 24
ships sunk and at least five dam

He said a majority of slaugh
terhouses had exhausted their
November quota set by the office
of price administration.
The latter organization was
beset by demands for rationing,
to divide the available supply
fairly. Officials said there were
so many problems in the way of
consumer rationing they did not
know when they could get
around to it
Guerra said the four San Fran
cisco bay plants not closed were
working, on government meat
supply, and were paying the
wage scales his union asked.
The government pays a higher
price than the OPA will let
butchers charge the public under
the recent ceiling orders.
Frank McCampbell, federal
poultry market observer, said
there had been a big demand for
poultry during the last three
weeks as the meat, shortage be
came more acute. The unpre
cedented stocks of dressed poul
try were moving rapidly into
trade channels, he said. Prices
were at the " ceilings for all

to refrain from discussing their
