Outcome Undecided
United States twelfth air force
fighters and bombers attacked
the Kasserlne bottleneck all day
yesterday, participating In more
than 20 missions. Boston bomb
ers destroyed at least six nazl
tanks and 10 trucks and left
many other vehicles blazing,
while a large formation of Light
ning fighter poured devastating
cannon fire into trucks, guns and
troops trying to move forward
through the twisting valley to
reinforce Rommel's spearheads.
Although the outcome of the
battle still was undecided the
fact that the nazls were being
punished more severely than
ever before in Tunisia made
some observers believe that the
axis marshal might have to aban
don his daring drive and estab
