nese armies and the American
alrforce in China the full weight
of allied military power cannot
be brought to bear on Japan s
Asiatic flank.
The impression persists here
that the broad pattern of action
in Europe has already been fixed
since any early invasion of the
continent calls for such masses
of men and material and such
minute planning of detail that
the strategy must have been laid
out long before this.
Messrs. Roosevelt, Churchill
and their advisers might have to
choose between alternative mas
ter plans and give a final "go
ahead" order, some experts said,
but even this is by no means
certain.
Today Mr. Roosevelt gave his
morning over to conferences with
President Eduard Benes, presi
dent of the Czechoslovakian gov
ernment in exile. Churchill also
arranged to see Benes.
Constant meetings still are In
progress, the White House said,
between members of the staffs
of the prime minister and prest
dent, but identification of the
American participants still was
being withheld.
There are no plans at present,
the White House said, for a Joint
Roosevelt-Churchill press confer
ence. 1

Nut Fires
"There were lots of really neat
fires, but one of them topped
anything I have seen. It start
ed with an explosion that shot
flames 2000 feet high. When it
died down thick black smoke
rose about 6000 feet."
Another crewman described
the same burst as a "granddaddy
explosion that started with a
tremendous white flash and last
ed long enough for me to look
up from the controls and see it
die away."
All expressed conviction that
a huge ammunition dump had
received a direct hit.

er, reviewing the six-month
campaign,' said General Alexan
der, his deputy commander-in-chief
In charge of ground forces,
maneuvered cleverly so that the
first army got in the knockout
punch from the west while the
bulk of the enemy troops were
held on the southern front by
the fact "everyone, including the
Germans," expected the eighth
army again would strike the
major blow."
Encouragement
The commander-in-chief said
Britain, the United States and
the Allied French "have a real
reason for encouragement and
hope as a result of this cam
paign." Allied armies dropped -their
final bomb in Africa at mid
morning yesterday. It was drop
ped by the desert air force,
which loosed its first one -June
11, 1940, on Tobruk, the.day aft
er Italy entered the war.
But the air force announced
there would be no let-up. . It
means merely that its attacks
will be concentrated across the
Mediterranean.
South Fight Ends
On the southern sector eighth
army positions fighting was stub
born throughout yesterday morn
ing, but the battle ended as or
ganized combat during the day.
Enemy resistance collapsed
suddenly in the area of Zaghou-
an, 28 miles south of Tunis. The
allied communique announced
that French troops, centering at
tacks in that area, had captured
more than 22,000 prisoners in
the final 48 hours of combat.
Enemy troops surrounded In
the coastal sector north of Enfi
daville were subjected to a
strong bombing attack and this
aerial pounding "finally induced
the enemy first army to ask for
terms, the communique said,
