Berlin Broadcasts
i Countering Berlin assertions
that the nazi had won aerial
superiority, the spokesman said
the axis was deiinitcry on me
downgrade in the North African
skies.
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

H. J. Hendrickson, county juve

Hendrickson urged coopera

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

this shoplifting spree which usu

The juvenile officer said most
'liftings" were reported from

On Sunday they approached
shore close enough to watch
the horse races at a big city

"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

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."

Red Star said German losses in
dead were close to 125,000 on
the two fronts. (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

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

he had asked President Roose

$100,000,000- for loans to saw

intended to increase forest pro

the peak of our war construc

He said existing mills could

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.

law to lay In a reserve stock
liquor as well as gasoline for
emergencies.
Even before the midnight ra
tioning deadline, two fires were
blamed on tho makeshift ator-
ago devices and nt least ono
man was burned severely.
Whllo tho roniulndor of tha
nation was ougronsed with gaso
line storuge there was another
rush down in dry Oklahoma
to stock up on liquor before the
four-gallon a week quota be
came effective and stopped
travel to nearby wet states.
Already a pint of bourbon is
quoted at $5, and Safety Di
rector Walter John said that
while tils bootleggers might be
able to pool their gasoline sup

Elsewhere, though, It was gux
ollno that was worrying motor
car owners and flro deport

over in Potter county, Texas,
wcro worrying right along with
prlvato motorists.
The rationing board at Amar
lllo voted unanimously to reject

of all state and federal agencies
except those engaged in polico
work.
Those turned down included
the deputy collector of Internal
revenue, tax enforcement men
In the state comptroller's office,
and all government agencies tho
board considered to be compet

as loan and investment com

dersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson last night that "we
cannot and will not deny our
soldiers the finest equipment In
order to cater to tho whims of
those who don't seem to realize
that their country Is at war." .
Declaring that the army al
ready has cut rubber uses sev
eral times at the expense of
maximum efficiency I n some
cases, Patterson added that "we
can't reduce our use of rubber
any more without risking tho
safety of our men and hamper
