. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (U. P.). —Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s actual sphere of ground operations —only vaguely outlined in London reports of his elevation to supreme commander of the African-Med-“.{terranean theater—were set today by authoritative military sources here as extending roughly from Dakar to the Libya-Tunisia border. ~ Another interesting” detail of the new set-up concerned a probable ‘subdivision of allied air power under the command of Air Vice Mar‘shal Sir Arthur Tedder, who is unal Eisenhower. To expedite the flow of air strength and to keep it as versatile as possible, Marshal Tedder’s sphere of command ineludes the entire Africa-Mediter-ranean area extending from Dakar rough Egypt. * However, this area will presumably be divided inte two lesser commands—the eastern. and western Mediterranean spheres.

NRRELD VITAL

Box Score’ Shows Planes From Henderson Inflict ‘Heavy Jap Losses.

Mar Corps Combat Correspondent . Bats ibuted by United Press

GUADALCANAL, Jan. 10 (Delayed) ~The highly strategic value of Henderson field on Guadalcanal island, captured last August by U. S. marines, is shown in a compilation of Japanese losses inflicted by

Henderson field fliers. This is my “box score” on Japa nese - losses inflicted by Douglas Dauntless dive-bombers operating from Henderson field between Aug. 25, 1942, ‘and Jan. 1, 1943: Destroyers—Two sunk, five possibly sunk, 20 damaged. Heavy cruisers——One sunk, ‘one possibly sunk, three damaged. Battleships — One Kongo. class ship sibly sunk by four hits. p-carrying destroyers — Two sunk. Cargo ships—Eight sunk, one possibly sunk. Transports—Six sunk, three left burning and possibly sunk. «+ Although not regarded as a match for fighter planes, the dive-bombers also destroyed 20 zeros, eight in the air and 12 on the ground. But for the work of these dive-bombers and the iron mer who flew them, a glowing chapter Would have been left out of e campaign in the Solomons. Add to their accomplishments the great work of the army

torpedo planes and the fighters, and the importance of Guadalcanal as an air base really becomes apparent.

All This and a Husband, Too

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12 (U.

Our family has one swell little girl, that youll love on sight, and another youngster due in a few days. Our pay is what you'd call excellent. You get a private room, with radio. In addition, we’ll give you movie passes for you and a friend once or twice a week, Not bad, huh? “Frankly, we think it’s one of the best household {jobs in this entire section. The last girl we had would have been here yet, but marriage got her, gol darn it. That speaks well, doesn't it?”
