A Berlin broadcast reported without confirmation that the allies were already shelling the bis naval base at Btzerte. Allied tanks, artillery and motorized Infantry were report' ed only a few miles west of the vital nazi-defended coastal road between the two cities, while British parachute troops captur ed an airfield in the Tunis reg ion without opposition. Eastern Activity . Dispatches indicated that the allies were probably less than .10 miles from Tunis driving from the rail junction town of Died- eida, 12 miles northwest of the capital. At the same time. Quickening activity was reported on the east flank of the giant allied "squeeze operation, indicating that Britain's victorious 8th army was preparing for a cli matic assault on Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's forces in Libya. Breaking a four-day sequence of announcing "nothing to re port, British Middle East head quarters said today: "Yesterday our patrols were active in the neighborhood of El ABheila." Rommel's battered Africa corps, now rested and rein ; forced after a disastrous 700- mile retreat across the desert from El Alamein, Egypt,-, was I reported strongly entrenched in ' the narrow El Agheila corridor between quicksands and the sea.

Hendrickson, county juve nile officer, who said young chil dren were going through the stores "lool g with their hands instead of their eyes." Hendrickson urged coopera tion of parents in checking the theft of merchandise which is now being displayed on holiday counters. "Stores are full of interesting merchandise, Hendrickson stat ed, "and some children can't re sist taking small articles which can be used as gifts such as jew elry, knives, toys, flashlights and other things. We urge par ents to assist us in checking on this shoplifting spree which usu ally happens around Christmas time," The juvenile officer said most 'liftings" were reported from dime stores where merchandise is displayed openly. U. S. Sub, Stalking Prey, Gets Eight Jap Cargo Ships (Continued From Page One) off one of the two remaining ships and let her have two tor pedoes. He "said the pursuit of the convoy continued for about 100 miles and that "all the Japa nese on shore had a good look at the sinkings." On Sunday they approached shore close enough to watch the horse races at a big city track. "We watched the pony races for an hour," said Klakring. "There was a tremendous crowd there, and we could see the races clearly. It wasn't recrea tion. I was looking for a tar get, but we didn't fire that day." The submarine's next" victim was an 8000-ton transport only a mile from the beach. "This was near a large city and I think quite a good number of people ashore saw it," Klakring said. "It was at the entrance to the harbor." VITAL STATISTICS RAWLINS Born at Hillside hospital, Klamath Falls, Ore., November 30, 1942, to Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Rawlins, 2053 Radcliffe street, a boy.

(The toll an nounced in communiques so far, however, totaled only 91,550). Within Stalingrad itself, the soviet garrison was said to be making slow but steady progress in heavy fighting. There were no reports, however, that the be siegers had been driven from a,ny areas of major importance. Fortifications Built The Russians said nazi officers were trying to conceal from their men that they were cut off. However, these probably were isolated though strong enemy units, and soviet, dispatches did not intimate that the whole en emy army had been surrounded between the Volga and the Don. The Germans were reported to have developed fortifications in great depth to wall off Rzhev, but the red army was said to be penetrating them with artillery and tanks leading the way for cavalry and infantry. " The struggle for the railroad connecting Rzhev and Yvazma appeared all the more important, for Red Star said after the red army's offensive last winter de prived the Germans of what then was the main line of communica tion the Rzhev-Riga line sup plies to nazi troops were moved to the central front by way of Vyazma into Rzhev. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Page One) forces, all without avenue of escape except by sea. The idea is first to pocket them and then to destroy them. AN allied spokesman in North African headquarters says today that EVER-GROWING al lied forces are throwing more planes into the battle HOUR BY HOUR and are beating down the German air force. He adds that the axis is defin itely on the down grade in the North African skies. TN the New Guinea jungles, only YARDS now separate our men from the Japs defending the nar row corridor they still hold along the coast between Buna and Gona. That means that the fighting is hand-to-hand at close quarters. Allied air forces are continuing to hammer Jap installations in Burma, which will be one of the jumping-off places for the antic ipated Jap attack on South Chma. THE present trend in France among the "arch-collaborationists" (traitors) seems to be to form a Quisling -government to force France into the war against the allies with or without the help of Petain. On the basis of information obtained from refugees from Toulon, Admiral La Borde had prepared months ago for the scuttling of the French fleet when the final emergency came, personally supervising the plac ing of the explosives in the ships. When the emergency for which these plans had been mads came, French marines held back the attacking Germans long enough to permit the scuttling to be carried out. Himmler, the brutal head of the German secret police, is said to be in Toulon now, dealing with the Frenchmen who sank the fleet. You can imagine the dealings.

"That violates all form of American principles," Norris asserted. "None of it is serious as yet, but it was not within the law. There is no more rea son for censoring a letter from a person in Alaska to a person in one of the states than there is to censor a letter from Wash ington state to another state." The law now authorizes cen sorship only on communica tions between the United States and foreign countries, Van Nuys said, adding that the bill orig inally was proposed to cover operations the committee since had found already were under way in the case of Alaska. Loan to Sawmill Operators Held Unnecessary Now WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (JP) Declaring it was not now neces sary. Rep. Norrcll (A-Ark.) said he had asked President Roose velt not to approve a proposed executive order setting aside $100,000,000- for loans to saw mill operators. He said it was intended to increase forest pro ducts but "we have now passed the peak of our war construc tion and our lumber require ments will grow less and less each month."

Two Votes Saved France From Open War On Allies (Continued From Page One) ed the occupation of all of France except Toulon and sent his personal letter to Marshal Pe tain, telling him why. Quisling Trend Petain protested immediately and the Vichy cabinet went Into a 48-hour session oh a German request that Vichy declare war against the allies and join her old enemies, Germany and Italy. The proposal finally was reject ed by a voto of 8 to 6. The diplomat said tho present trend among tho arch collabora tionists In Pnris seemed to In cline toward tho formation of a Quisling government to force France into war against tho al lies with or without the collabor ation of Marshal Petain. Captains Saved From French naval sources at Barcelona, it was learned that Admiral Jean de la Borde, com mander of the home fleet, gave the order to scuttle after making preparations for the act months before. He personally inspected the setting of explosives on the 60-odd ships in the harbor. These sources said that none of the captains went down with their ships as earlier reported but that everything was scut tled even the harbor tugboats. They reported Admiral De La Borde was interned as a civilian at Aix En Provence. French c ewmen at Toulon were put on the alert immediate ly when the allies landed in North Africa, it was said, and when the Germans sent to oc cupy South France reached the Toulon defenses November 12, and sent delegates demand ing surrender of the base, the an swer was: "Withdraw or we fire." The Germans withdrew and while Hitler was sending larger forces to overcome the French marines, Berlin issued a state ment "congratulating" the French commander on his deci sion to defend Toulon "against aggression." When the Germans returned in force, it was declared, the sea cocks of the mighty fleet wore opened and the charges explod ed. Most of the ships heeled over on reaching bottom, al though the superstructures of some of the larger ships are still showing.
