Even the British are still sur prised occasionally by the new types of German mir.es planted to cover withdrawals. Frustrated In the Fondouk area 100 miles north of El Guetar, the Americans were frustrated temporarily in at tempts to win high ground south of Fondouk. (The Vichy radio in' a broad cast heard by Reuters reported intense fighting west of Kairouan, some 20 miles northeast of Fon douk, with the Americans striving for possession of heights dominat ing Kairouan, and the Paris ra dio said an American attack seem ed to be in preparation at Faid, 12 miles south of Fondouk. (The Morocco radio heard by the Associated Press said French forces had advanced 10 miles in central Tunisia in a vaUey lead ing to Pont Du Fahs.) tuanes uestroyed The North African- airftirces an nounced that the allied air offen sive since March 19 had destroy ed more than twice as many ene my aircraft as the allies had lost in carrying out a series of heavy, far - flung attacks. Including yesterday’s operations, a total of 172 axis planes had been shot down, while 76 allied craft were lost. The biggest single day was March 31 when American and British airmen bagged 31 enemy craft while losing 12. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, al lied commander in North Africa, returned from the Tunisian fronts to report that British, American and French forces were “continu ing to make satisfactory progress” in their campaign to smash the axis out of Africa. He said every British and Am erican citizen and every British and American soldier “had a right to draw pride and inspiration” from the record of the allied troops and fliers who had driven Mar shal Rommel from his Mareth for tifications and are working in har mony and unison toward the “eventual complete defeat of all our enemies.” In his tour of the Tunisia bat tle ground Gen. Eisenhower con ferred both with Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, commander of all al lied ground forcas in the war theater, and Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, whose rugged Brit ish Eighth army flanked and cracked the Mare 'i fortifications. He also inspected the Mareth works, now deserted and many miles back of the scene of present fighting. American attacks against heavy axis concentrations in the hills and passes along Tunisia's dorsal range from Fondouk to the El Guetar area in the central sector were reported continuing today, but with little progress made. German and; Italian troops, well supplied with artillery and tanks, offered stub born resistance to the forces of General Patton, attempting to break through and join the Brit ish in their coastal pursuit of Rom mel. Thirty-two German tanks spear headed a counterattack against Patton’s forces east of Efl Guetar yesterday, but American 105 and 155-millimeter guns knocked three: of them out and the remainder swung about and fled. _v FOUR WILL FACE LOTTERY CHARGES (Continued From Page One) chine, typewriter, and pother mis cellaneous articles used in carry ing on a lottery.
