At the same time Air Chief
Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder, com
mander of allied air forces in
victory in Tunisia giving allied
forces control of the entire Afri
can shore definitely had opened
thp Mediterranean to allied ship
ping. ...
Cairo dispatches reported that
Printelleria, the little fortified is
land off Cap Bon, Tunisia, appan
ently had been knocked out al
ready as an air bafce by the series
of jfurious 100-bomber raids and
a aaval bombardment. Pilots said
no enemy aircraft had been seen
on the island recently and appar
ently the axis had ceased opera

' Air Springboard.
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. These had
been knocked out by allied bomb
ers and straf ers.

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. This year the state tax
and the state elementary school
tax have been eliminated and
these two items will save coun
ty taxpayers at least $75,000,
Reeder stated.
The entire budget will prob
ably be printed some time next
week. .
