The Allied-controlled Morocco radio announced at 9 o'clock (3 p. m.. e.w.t.) that contact had been established between the Al lied striking force and the Ger mans. This was confirmed later by the German wireless, which broadcast frequent bulletins. The Morocco radio also esti mated that the axis already had landed 1,000 German and Italian troops in Tunisia, and said the enemy forces were reported arriv ing in transport planes and hr sea. United States Rangers in small number fought the Germans at Dieppe in the August commando raid but it was not until the con tact was made near Bizerte ye.s- terday that a considerable force of United States soldiers and the Germans faced each other in bat tle in this war.
