An Associated Press dispatch
from Correspondent Norman
Bell with the United States Pa
cific fleet removed some of the
'mystery surrounding reports ear
ly this month of an impending
major clash between American
and Japanese naval forces in the
Guadalcanal area. -
Complete Victory
; The story simply was that the
Japanese were "out In force" for
the apparent purpose of making
a major effort to regain the U. S.
base in the Solomons, but with

they discovered "what they were
up against."

resistance on the island on Feb

Twenty-five or thirty unem

The German high command,
however, did not claim capture
of Sidi Bouzid.
Reds Unchecked
The German attack, restoring
the Tunisian front to furious
activity after months of minor
sparring, was begun at 7 a. m.,
yesterday with possibly 50 Ger
man tanks overrunning Amer
ican artillery positions, lt was
reported.
On the Russian front where
the red army forged a chain a
bit closer about Kharkov and
drove with unchecked momen
tum to cut off possibly 200,000
Germans attempting to escape
from Rostov on the Don, there
was no sign of German counter
attack, however.
RAF Strikes
Elsewhere on the widespread
war fronts the RAF delivered a
double attack on Germany and
Italy, sending one of the largest
collections of bombers in weeks
against Cologne in the Rhine-
land and the Italian arsenal city
of Milan and the naval base of
Spezit 100 miles south of Milan,
A mid-day soviet communique
recorded by the soviet Monitor
in London said the Russian
forces had made new advances
in the Zolochev area, where the
big Ukrainian city was threat
ened from the northwest and in
the Chuguyev area, where the
banners of the red army already
were snapping in the winter
winds, only seven miles short of
the city's boundaries.
While the Russians hurled
heavy forces at Kharkov, 400
miles west of Stalingrad and bub
of the German deiense east of
the Dnieper, they also were di
recting a series of converging at
tacks upon the 70-mile wide nazi
escape corridor west of Rostov.
: The British radio reported
Taganrog on the Sea of Azov and
40 miles west of Rostov under
Russian artillery fire.
Bloody Affair
The Germans acknowledged
the fall of Rostov, and also
Voroshilovgrad to the north, but
said it was a methodical with
drawal of , German ' forces in
which all military installations
were destroyed.
Russian dispatches, however,
said the capture of the city of
500,000, once described by the
Germans as the spigot to Cau
casus oil, was a bloody affair in
which the Russians charged
through the city's modern streets
against Germans who had been

'THE news from the battlcfronU
today isn't all good.
In Tunisia, the Germans have
apparently hit us pretty hard.
Just how hard isn't clear from
the censored dispatches.
It is probablo the Germans
have more strength in Tunisia
than the uniformly optimistic
tone of the dispatches has led us
to believe. Our leaders, of
course, KNOW. In judging the
news for yourself, you must keep
always in mind tho perfectly
obvious fact that the day-to-day
tone of the news (which Is avail
able to the enemy as well as to
us) is to the general effect that
our side has everything safely
under control.
You can be pretty sure the bat

be a tough one.

This Is the point involved:
Under "IncontlVe" payments,

SUBSIDY payments from the
