Lunch Hour Assault
Raiders skimmed the rooftops
while others dodged anti-aircraft
bursts in cloud cover high over
head. The attack began shortly
after noon and the all clear
was sounded a short time later.
The planes attacked during
the lunch hour, machine-gunning
streets and buildings after
sweeping in over southern Eng
land in greater force than in
any daylight raid in two years.
It was a small-scale repetition
of any of a score of days during
the early aerial battle of Britain
when the luftwaffe frequently
struck by daylight.

for the British capital since last

time bombing since last July 17.

I hearing the labor relations board
is holding in Portland. Says it

! TTRUE enough. That's Just
A what will happen.

purpose ;n intervening in the
Kaiser situation is to GET THE

straight, remember that the
skirts of the AFL big shots are
not clean in connection with this
scramble for dues.

disgraceful brawls over who
will collect the workers' dues in
this time "when American boys

American way of life, we mustn't
lose sight of the fact that the

round-the-clock assault by allied
bombers and fighters.
Warplanw Rain Havoc
D. "pitches from Cairo said
the fact that axis columns were
fleeing westward instead of
northeastward toward Tripoli
might Indicate that Rommel's
southern flank planned to by
pass Tripoli completely in Its
haste to reach Tunisia.
Allied warplanes were report
ed already raining havoc on the
road along which Rommel must
travel up the coast of Tunisia
for a junction with other axis
forces in the Tunis-Bizerte zone.
Axis Scores Cain
The German high command
asserted that Gen. Walther Nehr-
ing's forces had attacked and
captured "Important" but un
specified positions in Tunisia
and seized more than 100P al
lied prisoners.
Allied headquarters In North
Africa conceded that axis troops
advancing southwest of Pon du
Fahs had scored a penetration of
about seven miles and reported
"minor engagements continue in
the Bou Arada-Goubellat area"
farther north.
The' heaviest fighting recently
has centered In the area between
Pont du Fahs and Medjez-el-Bab
some 30 miles southwest of
Tunis, where the Germans have
been trying to crack the French
held flank of the allied lines.
Satellites Surrender
As the campaign in Libya
neared Its climatic phase, the
news on the soviet front grew
blacker by the hour for Adolf
Hitler's invasion armies.
Soviet dispatches declared
that Germany's satellites fight
ing on the eastern front were
displaying a willingness to sur
render, and reported that in a
two-hour battle near Postoyaly,
on the Voronezh front, 5000
Italian officers and men were
taken prisoner.
Since last Wednesday, the !
! Russian command said, the red
j armies have captured 52.000
j prisoners of whom only 2500
were Germans. The others were
27.500 Hungarians and 22,000
I Italians. .
Nasls Hedge
The Russians say leas than 50..
j 000 survivors remain of 22 nazl
! divisions trapped In the Volga-
j Don corridor.
Hitler's command dealt ob-
; liquely with the lifting of the
, Leningrad siege, in the north, as
serting that "local breaks In the
German Una were dealt with or
led to the cutting off of enemy
groups."
Red army headquarters, re
porting the capture of numerous
cities and towns on five key
fronts, gave this picture of the
vast battle theater:
Leningrad Russian shock
troops continued to clean up
blockhouses and dugouts In wi
dening the break through the
17-month-old German siege ring.
Moscow said food and other re
lief supplies were now en route
to Leningrad's 1,000,000 resi
dents through a ftve-mile-wide
corridor which has restored the
city's communications with the
outside world. .

President Roosevelt served no

and said if the order was not
obeyed the government would
"take the necessary steps to
protect the security of the na
tion against a strike doing ser
ious damage to the war effort."
The warning was widely In

would be dispatched to take
