Tedder said allied planes how would dominate the long passage through the Mediterranean, al though there probably would al ways be some losses of shipping as long as the war continued. Although stressing the impor tance of Cirenaica for air bases,' Tedder termed Tunis "the best aii springboard on the North Af rican coast." tTo Tedder the whole North Af rican campaign of the land forces was a battle to win air fields friom the enemy so allied air forces might operate from them in carrying the offensive over the Mediterranean into Europe'. s Planes Found jFhe air marshal said that on the last three airfields from which the German air force op erated on Cap Bon and on air fields around Bizerte 520 air planes were found.

Campaign nadlo-leiepnoto volunUsr infantryman crawl m KNOX REPORTS PROGRESS AS (Continued From Pave One) United States offensive In the Pacific', he told a press confer ence that "when you seize enemy territory it certainly can be called offensive," but he would not talk about possible other of fensives. Knox commented that the mountainous, cold, treeless is land is "tough terrain" for fight ing, its difficulties comparable to those of the jungles of Guadal canal island in the South Pacific, where it took seven months to expel the Japanese. Stabs Sn And the belief that subsequent stabs soon may strike at south western, southern and central Pacific strongholds of the en emy's ocean emplro seemed at least partially borne out by: 1. Recent conferences be tween General Douglas MacAr thur, commander in Australia and the southwestern Pacific area, and Admiral William F. Halsey Jr., commander in the southern Pacific. 2. Emphasis on the Pacific sit uation by choice of high officials sitting in on the conferences here of president and Prime Minister Churchill. Opinions 3. Expressed opinion of quali fied authorities that no major Pacific move would have been started unless joint army-navy-air power was set to continue tlie offensive series all along the line. The attack on Attu, requiring many ships and thousands of men, was regarded as conclusive evidence that ships and men are available in great numbers for offensive action against the Jap anese, since for such an objective the American command could not afford to weaken its posi tions elsewhere along the 5000 mile battle line. The island battle was unques tionably bitter with weather and terrain aiding a tenacious foe in opposing a successful landing and subsequent push inland. Aleutians weather is character ized by violent shifting winds and fog7, rain and snow. ' The water in the .Bering sea on the northern side of the Island chain is so cold that a human can hardly ' stay alive In it more than 30 or 40 minutes. , The county budget has been drawn up and will be ready for publication in a few days, it was announced Saturday by U. E. Reeder, county judge. Every attempt has been made to cut the budget down to mini mum.

The entire budget will prob ably be printed some time next week. .
