"Rommel bai got himself a tre
mendous amount of elbow room
and that may be all he wanted."
From SbeiUa, the Germans
were only about 81 miles north
east of Ferlana, just east of the
Algerian frontier and about mid
way of the Tunisian front.
"The Americans are now using
medium General Sherman tanks
In defensive action," a head
quarters source said. "Even ex
perienced troops can be overrun
by a sudden heavy tank attack
and it Js not surprising that the
Americans had to withdraw be
cause they held a long line with
only light tanks."
Mark VI'i Powerful
The new German mark VI
tanks thrown into Rommel's of
fensive have especially heavy ar
mor, reported to be up to seven
and a half inches thick, and high
velocity guns which made them
difficult for American anti-tank
artillery to stop.
Estimates of their size range
from 60 to 62 tons, but allied
forces have been unable to re
trieve any of them sufficiently
whole to get exact Information.
Two were knocked out by allied
artillery a few weeks ago.

' ABSORB at one point won't have
to be met by our allies on an
other front
- The Germans could use IN
BDSSIA these huge tanks they've
burled at us in Tunisia. If we've
compelled them to DIVERT to
Tunisia powerful' weapons they
Deed so badly in Russia, we've
helped our Russian allies who
have been doing so much to help
W. ' --.
Things ' like ' that are what
ount in a world war.
TN the excitement of this new
development on the Tunisian
plateau, we're apt to overlook
one of the day's important deeds.
Three British submarines, rov
ing the Mediterranean, destroy
six and possibly seven axis SUP
PLY ships and damage seven
more.
In the long run, the outcome
of the African campaign will de
pend upon this battle of the
supply lines that goes on cease
lessly, day and night.
If we can supply and reinforce
our armies in' Africa 'and the
Germans can,'t, we will win and
the Germans' will lose. -

and some exceptions will be
made. It was pointed out that
dehydrated foods are going to
lend-loase.
Questions were asked concern
ing the possibility of obtaining
fertilizer for spring pluntlng
and the growers were assured
that efforts would be made to
obtain ample fertilizer for their
needs. Growers In the Klamath
basin use "16-20" or ammonium
phosphate. Those at the meet
ing voiced opinions that tho
fertilizer was an ubsolute neces
sity in crop production and
Major Unities suld he would
make evory effort to obtain the
necessary fertilizer and asked
that C. A. Henderson, Klamath
county agricultural agent, draft
a letter sotting forth such needs.
The question of sacks came
up and Bush, marketing special
ist, advised growers the govern
ment would accept any good
commercial sack, now or second
hand.
Potatoes should be shipped
out before the last of March
with tho freight pre-paid by the
shippers, government men said.
Following a discussion of OPA
ceiling prices on potatoes, grow
ers asked for a mooting with
the OPA. Protests wero heard
in view of the higher prices ob
tained before the ceiling was
established.
Tullcy asked for'a committee
of growers to meet with Mc
Mullen and himself to iron out
some of the problems brought
before the meeting. The presi
dent and vice president of the
Tulelake and Klamath associa
tions were named, Chester L.
Mains and George Yost of the
Tulelake group, Dale West to
serve tn placo of Henry Somon,
president of the Klamath asso
ciation, and one other member
of tho board.
The meeting was called for
1:30 Wednesday In the Tulelake
agricultural office.
Growers mentioned the ques
tion of Japanese labor and
Major Holnes said there was no
comment to come from him as
this problem was up 'to WRA.
He did suggest, however, that
soldiers "In training locally"
would be asked to assist with
the harvest. Ho did not specify
what ho meant by "locally."
