i However, soviet infantrymen
met the attack firmly and with
the aid of artillery beat back the

A skirmish was reported on
the northwestern front, . where
soviet troops were said to have
thrown back numerically super
ior forces, killing several scores
o Germans. Otherwise, how
ever, little action was reported
in the communique.
On the home front, the com
munist party newspaper Fravda
echoed Premier Joseph Stalin's
laudatory words on the part be
ing played by United States and
Great Britain in the .United
Nations' war on Germany, as
serting that "recently the enemy
has felt on his own skin the
force of the soviet union, Britain
and the United States."
Discussing the possibility of a
second front in Europe, Pravda
said "the Hitlerite command
fears active operations of our al
lies on the European continent
like it would fear fire."

Go Easy on the
Doctor
By EARL WHITLOCK
The armed forces have taken
thousands of medical men from
civilian life, have hustled them
:lnto uniform

points where
men are fight
ing to save the
1 i v e s of our
boys. Thousands
of other doctors
kWill be going
away in the
months to come.
Now that nuts
a terrible strain on the physicians
wno remain behind. The doctor
is not unused to long, irregular
flours or to getting his rest in
broken snatches. That's what
he expected when he adopted
the profession of medicine in
stead of some easier life work.
But human endurance has its
limits and some doctors I know
are getting pretty close to that
limit. It is up to the public to
make things as easy as possible
for our medical men by calling
them only when they are REAL
LY needed.

In Locating
Lost Bomber
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 (IP)
The navy called on residents of
northern California and the Pa
cific northwest today for aid in
locating a navy Dauntless dive
bomber which has been missing
since Saturday, March 13.
The fast : bomber, piloted by
Lieut, (jg) L. Parker Pelzer of
IoVa City, la., was last seen 15
miles southwest of Mount Shasta,
by another navy pilot on the
same flight,
' Both : were flying at 12,000
feet above a ' heavy overcast,
during stormy weather and un
der icing conditions.
Pelzer left Red Bluff March
13 for The Dalles, Ore. When
last seen1 by the other pilot he
had gasoline enough for five
hours, giving him a cruising
radius of about '500 miles from
Mount Shasta.

Inflow into Upper Klamath

Moroccan Goums made a further
advance in the coastal area,
bringing their forward elements
only 15 miles from Blzerte, and
rounded up more than 500 pris
oners.
Advances also were made in
other sectors.
Exhausted Both Sides
The fortnight campaign, in
which the U. S. second army
corps had played an important
part, exhausted both sides, but
after a day of comparative rest
yesterday the allies struck for
ward again and the enemy de
fenses collapsed In many places.
U. S. and French units co
operated yesterday in the oc
cupation of Kef Rdjal Touila, a
group of hills 12 miles northwest
of Matcur.
Enemy Suffers
The enemy appeared to have
suffered the more for French
detachments and forward units
of the second U. S. army corps
drove yesterday to tho ridges
known as Kef Rdjal Touila to
tighten the pressure upon Ma-
teur and Blzerte.
The hills are about four miles
west of Lake Achkel, along the
eastern shore of which runs the
18-mile highway linking Ma
teur and the naval base. Col,
Gen. Jurgen von Arnlm was re,
ported withdrawing his ad.
vanced units in that region as
a result of the pounding they
have received from planes, field
catteries and infantrymen .in
tne allied offensive.
Slight Withdrawal
At some 'other points also
there was a slight withdrawal
of enemy forces to more con
venient or better-defended posi
tions. However,' the Germans
are still far from cracking in
their main endeavor. This is
to hold their strong point in
the Medjerda , River valley and
adjacent heights to prevent al
lied tanks from getting through
it into the fan-like plain of Tu
nis and thus bringing about the
final debacle, which Gen. Henri
Glraud said yesterday : would
come this month.'
Gtn. Sir Bernard L. Mont
gomery's British eighth army,
which is finding the fight in
the rugged hills of the, southern
front harder than in the desert,
repulsed a small enemy counter
attack yesterday in the coastal
area northeast of Engidaville.
Otherwise, its activity was lim
ited to patrols.
Four miles southwest of Pont
du Fans, at the "hinge between
the. first and eighth armies, two
enemy attacks compelled units
of Gen. Marie Louis Kelts' 19th
French corps to draw back for
some hours, but at the end of

themselves in their morning po

He will seek to 'settle the wage

miners and oporators during the

Ickes reportod In a routine
bureau of mines paper today that
coal on hund amounted, on the
average, to a 33-day supply. De
scribing the position of steel
mills and railroads as "particul
arly precarious," Ickes said some
steel plants In Ohio had an aver
age of only 24 days supply.

However, Ickes regarded the
prospects now as sufficiently
good to permit cancellation of
the "freeze" on In-transit ship

last week to help make available
supplies go where most needed.

Last-Minute Changes
Early went to considerable
length to explain how Mr. Roose
velt had mode last ml mi to
changes in his address, without
making alterations based on the
truce announcement.
Some persons seemed to attach
significance to tho fact that there
were late deletions and inser

Mr. Roosevelt started working
on the final draft of the address
shortly after 3 p. m. yesterday,
