“Unfriendly Natives in Tunisia Already Pose Problem for Advancing Army but Worst Will Come In Tunis and Bizerte.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Copyright, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times and The: Chicago Daily News, Inc.

ON THE NORTHERN TUNISIAN FRONT, May 7 (Via Algiers) .—Sullen stares of farmers and villagers on certain sections of the American front have already presented our military authorities with a problem that is going to be aggravated with every mile that we advance from now on. All known allied sympathizers in the Tunisian fighting zone have long since been kicked out of their homes and the more prominent ones have been sent to German-occupied

France.

The bulk of those who remain behind are either Italians

or French collaborationists, of whom the latter, being traitors, obviously merit the most Serious treatment. Most of the countryfolk who have gided with the Nazis have been stranded by the speed of our ad-

vance. So we have to deal with . them. The problem is already a pretty one, but we have only started. In Bizerte, we will find 2000 or more Italians and when in Tunis we will find 30,000 more, at least. In Tunis, we will also find 25,000 Jews, all wear{ng the yellow star of David, which brands the Jew in axis-controlled Tunisia and all wondering what we are going to do about it. When we first got into Morocco and Algeria, it was easy to escape guch issues on the ground that we had to get on with the war and avoid involvement in local controversies. With all North Africa in our hands and a truly omnipotent army in the area, we won't have that basis for rationalization.

British Gunners Halt Tank Advance

ON THE NORTHERN TUNISIAN FRONT, May 4 (Delayed) (Via Algiers) (CDN).— While unceasing streams of trucks, guns and other

impediments stretched across the windswept hills of northern Tunisia y today, British anti-tank gunners put én abrupt end to another 11th hour offensive by the Germans to retain the initiative north of Medjez-el-Bab. It was just a quarter past 7 o'clock, this morning, when about 30 tanks, with an accompanying crew of motorcyclists and infantry, | Appeared in Babgab gap, which , separates the two heights of Aoukaz and Asoud, 10 miles northeast of Medjez-el-Bab. By 8 o'clock, after a well-directed tornado of artillery and anti-tank fire, one German Mark VI tank, seven Mark IV's and three Mark IT's have been knocked out and then blown up by British sappers. Seventeen out of 18 prisoners taken before noon today were degerters. Our friends in the Mateur neighborhood tell us that it was a beaten and thoroughly disheveled army that retreated through Mateur on Sunday, after being beaten by the Americans in the hills to the west. They came through in small groups and transport was so disorganized that walking wounded, who had been in the hospital at Michand, three miles west of Mateur, had to leg'it all the way to Ferryville.
