FOE CLOSESlOLE NEAR MARETH LINE (Continued from Page One) out, braving death, to repair the damage. ,,_„ During those three days the Ma reth line was first cracked and then broken, with the 100-yard road the only tenuous line over which men, tanks and supplies could move. Then the Germans attacked in force yesterday and closed the breach. . The British managed to send some tanks across the shell-swept road to support the infantry hold ing the bridgehead on the west bank of the wadi, but there were not enough anti-tank guns in po sition to hold the wave of 30 which the Germans sent in to sup port the Nazi infantry in the coun terattack. The “highway to hell” was a bot tleneck for tanks and guns. There were some stirring tales of courage in that furious battle inside the Mareth line: of one who stormed a concrete stronghold in a chilling red hail of machinegun fire, of engineers who built the road, and of the troops who held out as long as they could against odds. And there were the padres — one was a Catholic, one a Baptist and one was of the Church of England. They went across the wadi with the troops to minister to the wounded, bury the dead and cheer the fighting men. The dusty, tired-eyed little cure of Greensboro, Ga., the Rev. Arthur Garbutt, was one of them. “We carride the wounded from the battlefield onto the bank of the wadi,” he said "and dug each man a slit trench to protect him from shell hurts. There was a regular curtain of shells falling in to the wadi. i. neipsa Dury me ue«u. uig graves and slit trenches and car ry the wounded. You know, since joining the army I’ve done a lot of peculiar things. "The men were wonderful. They lay uncomplaining In the slit trenches for hours as the shells fell. One of them said drily, ’just wait a minute and they'll be throwing their meskits over.’ We wouldn’t have been surprised. During the first two days and nights of fighting the British took some 800 German and Italian pris oners. Hundreds of Italians cracked un der the strain of the bombard ment and machinegun fire and sur rendered or deserted. In some cas es It was reported the men in the ranks forced officers to sur render with them. One young Fascist officer wept in humiliation because his men laid down their arms and march ed out of their concrete pillboxes. In the enemy counterattack 300 Italians were in the spearhead of the move. When faced by heavy British fire they threw up their hands in surrender, but the Ger mans behind them opened up on them with machine guns. In an other case the Germans shelled Italians who surrendered to the British. Many of the Nazi captives fought the Americans at Gafsa and ex POPULAR TEXTILE FOREMAN FINDS nn.TEr n L-E “IT’S THE BEST MEDICINE I EVER SAW AND I TRIED LOTS OF THEM,” DE CLARES MR. REAVIS. DR.

CITY PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS (Continued from Page One) „0 out immediately after the sirens blew for the first blue signal last nieht followed considerably more slowly by the city street lighting system, the North-East river bridge and the Broadfoot Iron works. After the red signal sounded, the entire town south and east of Chest nut street was entirely darkened. A few scattered lights were observed in the northern section. The lights in the building and au ditorium of the main USO club at Second and Orange streets came on at the second blue signal as did the lights in the city Jail. Both were ex tinguished hastily. Elsewhere over town there was little confusion occasioned by the third siren signal. The lights of the North Carolina Shipbuilding companv and of ferti lizer plants at Navassa remained on during the entire test period. As late as 10 p. m. telephone calls were being received at the Star News to inquire if the all-clear, giv en by radio, telephone and air raid wardens under the new system of signals, was in effect. _ LOSSES ARE SEEN FOR U. S. TROOPS (Continued from Page One) ently have had a major effect in forcing withdrawal of Nazi fight er planes from the Tunisian and Russian fronts. The secretary asserted that the German people are demanding “greater fighter plane protection against daylight attacks. We have reason to believe that many such planes have been brought back to Germany from Russia and from Tunisia. Since the Germans do not know where we will strike next with our long-range bombers they are forced to disperse their fighter planes over the entire country, as well as the occupied territory.” pressed high regard for their fight ing qualities, saying the Yanks “fought like tigers.” They are amazed at the fine quality and great quantity of the American soldiers’ equipment. One described it as “fantastic.” They had never seen anything like it. But while the Italians were cracking up it would be a mistake to misjudge the German soldiers’ morale. General Montgomery told his of ficers last month in Tripoli there was no evidence the German mo rale was shattered and that this army was still a big factor to counter. Americans Seize Control Of Vital Tunisian Area (Continued from Page One) several tanks and a number of vehicles. The Allied aerial armada, be lieved to be the strongest yet used in Africa, continued to pound Axis troops and airfields in the narrow ing enemy pocket, dumping thou sands of tons of bombs along the Mareth line and in the path of the twin American drives to the sea. The outcome depends mainly on how long the enemy can withstand such punishment. Thus far there were no signs of a German col lapse. Front dispatches said the Ameri cans closing in on Mezzouna, it self only 22 miles frome the Gabes Sfax coastal highway, were fanning out on either side of the road along which they are driving after taking the heights overlooking the coastal plain. One patrol clashed indecisively with Axis troops at the town of Meheri Zebbeus, five miles north of Maknassy. The forward ele ments last were reported only six miles from Mezzouna. The U. S. column operating be vond el Guetar is aDout do «u«» northwest of Gabes. In visiting these troops General Patton sev eral times left his car and con tinued on foot as German shells landed nearby. Throughout Tuesday night and yesterday Allied airmen continu ed their assault on Axis lines, air fields, and transports on the coast al highway. , . , U. S. heavy bombers plastered the docks at Ferryville on the southwestern side of the huge port of Bizerte in the north. “Hits were observed all over the dock area and large fires started,” the com munique said. Three merchant ships were be lieved to have been hit, and a British pilot escorting the bomb ers said the attack was one of the most accurate he had ever seen. -V PHILADELPHIA PHILS HERSHEY, Pa., March 25.—— President Bill Cox and Manager Bucky Harris of the Phillies are both pleased with the two unnamed players they are receiving from the New York Yankees In place of Ed Levy and Allen Gettel, received in the original trade for Nick Etten. t Breakfast Problems?
