Opening of the canals and lat
erals of the United States rec

to growing crops of the farmers
on the KID," the resolution stat
ed. Opening of the Tule lake
ump and all canals and laterals

$10,000 in damage from musk
rat activities.

to the firm, it was reported.

the West Coast Lumbermen's as

gotiations had been "well and
capably handled" by WPB Lum
ber Coordinator Ben Alexander.
Greeley warned that those
not knowing the "full picture"
of the Canadian negotiations
would "do well" to restrain
their comments on "these inter
national matters."
He obviously referred to a
telegram filed with the com
mittee yesterday in which T. R.
Robinson, plywood manufactur
er of Everett, Wash., complained
about the Canadian embargo
and suggested replacement of
Alexander by some one "friend
ly" to lumber and "not its chief
competitor." -
Alexander, who came to
Washington from, Chicagq in
February, was a former manu
facturer of plastics.
. Northwest Worried
Senator Wallgren told Greeley
the lumber interests in the Pa
cific northwest were in fear
they might have to shut down
unless negotiations to lift the
embargo were speeded up.
'They feel Mr. Alexander is
one of . their competitors . and
has not been energetic enough
in obtaining release of the Ca
nadian, logs," Wallgren .de
clared. W. allgren also renewed a plea
that the war production board
speed negotiations with Cana
dian officials looking to early
lifting of a Canadian embargo
against exportation of logs into
the northwest.

with enemy patrols In short
but violent engagements and
preparing for the final show
down with the axis in Africa.
Not Specified
"The assertion that Hitler prob
ably was weakening his air
forces in Russia to bolster those
in the Mediterranean area came
from an authority whose name
can not be disclosed, but it was
supported by -a dispatch from
Algiers, where an Australian
correspondent, John Jarvie. tele
graphed that he had learned
that an axis squadron that raid
ed north African towns yes
terday was on the Stalingrad
front three weeks ago.
Eden did not specify how or
where the military situation in
Tunisia was "critical," but Lon
don observers said developments
must be expected to unfold
slowly compared with the first
phase, against the French, where
surprise, long planning and
allied undercover work com
bined to reduce resistance to a
minimum almost everywhere.
Threefold Objective
There was a dearth of news
from North Africa today al
though the air war preliminary
to the decisive ground battle
continued hotly.
The enemy air objectives ap
parently were threefold to
rake advancing allied columns
in Tmisin, to blast shipping and
choke off supplies and rein
forcements as far as possible
and to fly In men and weapons
across the Mediterranean nar
rows from Sardinia and Sicily.
Both axis communiques
stressed blows particularly
against allied shipping and
allied-held ports in Algeria.
These enemy claims, however,
had no confirmation.
Axis Raids '
The sinking of four allied
merchantmen, including a
"transatlantic ship of 20,000"
tons and a destroyer by Italian
planes and submarines off the
Algerian coast was reported by
the Italians.
The German communique said
nazi night raiders had scattered
fires on the shorefronts of Al
giers, Bqne and.- Philippeville
and had destroyed a . 2000-ton
merchantman, set fire to an
other transport and damaged
two destroyers in Algiers.

Ing northward and unescorted,
presumably returning to Sicily
after having landed enemy rein
forcements in Tunisia.
No one was seen to escape as
the plane crashed into the water.
Later, when fighter planes
from Malta shot down a Ju-52
German transport plane in the
same area, troops were seen
struggling in the water. The
Ju-52 also was unescorted.
A Dornier 24, escorted by
three ME-109's was intercepted
between Tunisia and Sicily and
damaged.

rapid progress. German sources
today tell of repulse of allied
attacks and our side remains
more or less silent.
This doesn't mean we aren't
going to take northern Tunisia.
It DOES mean that we arc en
countering stubborn resistance.
yHE German radio says today
A the British First Army has
suffered a severe setback in its
attack on Bizerto and Tunis.
Don't believe this report. Don't
disbelieve it. Just keep your
fingers crossed and wait. There
have been big gains by our side
In Africa, at relatively little
cost.
Remember that there MUST
be some hard fighting in order
to gain an objective of such im
portance. THE De Gaulle-Darlan ruckus
flares up in the British house
of commons.
De Gaulle was to havo made
a radio speech from London on
Saturday. It was .CANCELLED
by Eden, with Churchill's back
ing. Debate follows. The de
bate indicates dissatisfaction in
some British quarters with the
American deal with Darlnn.
Eden, referring to the foct that
the African expedition is under
American command, says: "This
is not the time to discuss arrange
ments made in Africa between
General Eisenhower and local
French authorities. The battle
is in an EXTREMELY CRIT
ICAL phase and it will be time
to go into all these measures
when it is won."
He adds that nothing should
be done to give the Americans
cause for complaint.
HAT seems to have happened
" is that WE made the dicker
with Darlan and De Gaulle's
friends in Britain don't like it.
From this distance, it looks
as if the dicker brought good
results. Let's not criticize it
until we KNOW ALL THE
FACTS and can judge ALL the
results.
The ancient rule of war is that
ALMOST ANYTHING is Justi
fied IF IT WORKS.
EWS from the Pacific today
is relatively unimportant.
MacArthur is still pushing the
Japs hard on the 'Papuan penin
sula. Without air or sea sup
port, they are still tasting what
we got in Bataan.
Our airmen are hammering
hard at important Jap air bases
in far southern China,' apparent
ly intent on hampering the im
pending Jap drive into Yunnan
province.
. .
jV)N'T get the idea, because of
the present lull in spectac
ular news, that the war in the
Pacific has been won.
It HASN'T.
It is probably nearer the
truth to say that It is just get
ting well started.

Choice of New
GOP Chairman Held
Narrowed to Three
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25 (TV
Choice of a successor to Rep.
Martin (R-Mass.) as chairman of
the republican national commit
tee was reported unofficially to
day to be narrowing down to
three "leading" candidates, al
though there was no disposition
to dismiss the chances of a
"darkhorse" aspirant.
Influential leaders of the con
gressional republican forces, de
clining use of their names, said
that "at present" Alf Landon, re
publican presidential nominee in
1936; former Rep. John Baker
Hollister of Ohio, and Harrison
E. Spangler of Iowa were the
center of most of the discussion
for the post.
Martin has announced that he
would resign at a meeting of the
committee at St. Louis Decem
ber 7 in order to devote his full
time to his duties as house min
ority leader. His successor will
be elected then.
