1. Plans to re-emphasize their ‘unconditional surrender” decision reached at Casablanca last Janvary and to reassert their lack of interest in peace offensives, except on that condition, whether emanating from the axis directly or through such agents as Gen. Francisco Franco of Spain. 2. Incessant demands of the Australian and Chinese leaders that more material, especially airplanes, be thrown into the war against Japan. Some sources suggested that the comparative ease of the allied victory in Tunisia, might possibly permit an increase in the Pacific allotments determined at the Casablanca conference.

Allies Crush All Resistance In Final Cleanup on Cap Bon

of Zaghouan on Tuesday after appealing to the French for an armis stice. The axis troops surrendered with full equipment, ending resistance in that sector and permitting the French to press on with the British against the one last pocket of resistance to the east. A group of 250 Germans who had held out on DJebel Achkel in the American sector to the north came in to surrender. The enemy forces resisting west of Bou JFicha produced anti-tank guns and some tanks on Tuesday and held back the British armor that seized Bou Ficha and continued southward along the coast, where the enemy still holds a few miles of coastline but no ports of escape. The Germans have no air support and no possibility of escaping or of getting supplies. (The German radio said the axis group still held an area of 80 square miles.) All possibilities for evacuation of enemy troops ended when the Brit ish armored spearheads made a come plete circuit of the Cap Bon peninsula, whee all resistance has ended and only a few groups of stragglers remained to be mopped up. There was no indication that any important members of German first line troops had retired into Cap Bon. Most of the prisoners taken there were supply line men, flak gunners and signalers. One of the last mop-up areas was south of Grombalia, where a few enemy tanks were surrounded by overwhelming allied forces.

Blast Islands

Allied air forces, with little left to do in Africa, continued to hit at the invasion stepping stones on the island route to Italy, especially the Fascist naval base at Pante)leria and such ports as Marsala, in Sicily, where 15 enemy fighters were destroyed in combat. A dispatch from Reynolds Packard, United Press correspondent with the air force, said that Marsala port was devastated even more completely than Palermo during the raid by flying fortresses and medium bombers. More than 300,000 leaflets were dropped on Italian cities, telling the pebple that these terrific air bombardments could be ended by “demanding peace and demonstrating for peace.” An allied communique also ane nounced that the American 2d corps and their French allies in Northern Tunisia had taken a total of 37.008) axis prisoners. An allied spokesman announced | carlier that close to 100.000 axis nrisoners had been taken in the

final stages of the campaign. Resorts from the front indicated that Additional Germans and ‘Italians |

were laying down their arms by the hour. A French communique revealed that German forces which had been making a last ditch stand in the Zaghouan mountain sector at the southwestern end of the axis line had asked for an armistice, the first such German request of the French since November, 1918, when the first world war ended. The French commander demanded unconditional surrender and turning over intact all war materiais still left to them. These were the same terms that the Americans laid down in the Bizerte area Sunday. (Radic Algiers said the Germans had surréndered on these terms, “eradicating the shame to which France was put by the 1940 armistice.” The radio added that eight enemy generals were now prisoners of the allies) (An Italian communique said Gen. Giovanni Messe, Italian commander, had rejected terms of surrender offered by Lt. Gen. Bernard C. Freyberg of the British 8th army. However, Radio Algiers reports stated that both Messe and Gen. Juergen von Arnim had gone to Rome by plane three days ago.) Medium and light bombers of the allied tactical air force kept up a steady bombardment of enemy troops on the Cap Bon peninsula, the communique said. Severe damage was inflicted both there and to the northwest of Enfidaville. Allied bombers blasted at axis basis on Sicily around the clock. Nearly 50 American heavy bombers dropped more than 250,000 tons of bombs on the port of Catania vesterday in a highly successful attack whieh left the whole dock area in flames, For the first time in their raids on ltaly and the Italian outposts the bombers were escorted by fighters, revealing that the airdromes of the middle eastern command now are within fighter range of those targets.
