DeWITT MacKENZIE j.tThc cracking of the Mareth Line General Montgomery's great Eighth Army one of the sensa- lional feats of the placed Marshal Rommel and the entire Axis force in Tunisia in dire peril from which there would seem to be no escape. The break has come on a twenty' five mile front on the powerful coastal end of the line, and dispatches indicate that the Nazi mar- snal is making a run for the north in an effort to join up with Gen- Von Arnim before he can be $-ctot off. His chances of escaping the trap which the Allies laid for him didn't seem good, for can and British forces were north- fewest of him and driving hard for the coast in an effort to close the Our young fighters under al Two-Gun Patton had been doing workmanlike job over the week- Patton not only held steady wedge which he is trying to by drive to the coast in the Sousse- Sfax sector, but even advanced it some on its northern edge by cap- turing Fondouk in a suprise at- tack. Meantime the flying column Montgomery got round the southern end of the Mareth Line had made a sensational advance to El Hamma, about twenty miles west of the important port of Gabes.

It looks as though he were straining to capture Gabes, which is Rommel's nearest coastal base. If Montgomery could reach Gabes before Rommel's main force raced northward, the marshal's would become increasingly grave During the week-end all the lied forces, from far north to (t)l treme south, have been battering the Axis. Thus there has been a effort which has put maximum pressure on the enemy line, and prevented the Hit. lerites from concentrating against any one of the Allies. This grand partnership is the foundation for today's success.

The main drama, of course, has down on the Mareth Line. There Montgomery has continued the tactics he employed at El Ala- 4 mein, Egypt, when he first routed Rommel. Having struck a stonewall defense in the fortifications close to the coast, the British lead' er made a lightning stab at another strong point a few miles to the 4 southwest, just below the Mareth highway. "ti Details are lacking, but it seems apparent that, having made a dent, he then employed the difficult and oloody tactics of levering his way forward until he finally broke through to the rear and turned the enemy's line on both flanks of the hole. That's the way he went through at El Alamein.

If Patton reaches the coast before Rommel can race through the open road along the coast, the Axis is likely to be divided and neatly cooped up in two compartments, ready for the finale. It isn't going to be as easy in the doing as in the saying, however, for both Rommel and his colleague in the north, may be expected to put up a terrific fight. We shall have to pay heavily for the victory which will be ours. Markei Report ST. LOUIS LIVESTOCK National Stockyards, 111., March 23 (U.

Statement of Husband of Slain Woman Tulsa, March 29 (IP) Counly Attorney Dixie Gilmer began an investigation today of a statement by T. Karl Simmons, Tulsa oil man, that he gave $20,000 in 1942 to Mrs. Ella B. Howard, slender divorcee, charged with murder in the shooting of Mrs. Simmons.

Gilmer said that Simmons, in a signed statement, related that he met the divorcee in Fort Worth eight years ago and "began seeing Mrs. Howard regularly." Mrs. Howard, 44, pleaded inno- cient when arranged on the murder charge. Assisant County Attorney M. S.

Simms said she related that Mrs. Simmons, 55, a widely known horsewoman, forced her way into her room at the fashionable Mayo hotel at gunpoint, that she grabbtd the gun, and that it was discharged in a struggle that followed. Wounded three times, Mrs. Simmons died almost instantly. "In the summer of 1942 I gave Mrs.

Howard 520,000 and a month later borrowed back $5,000 and gave her a 60-day note," Gilmer said Simmons related in his statement yesterday. "When it came due I gave her another note for $6,000 plus a three months' allowance." The statement did not give the amount of the allowance, but Gilmer said it totaled $1,000. The county attorney said Simmons related that he gave Mrs. Howard $6,750 to pay off the note, plus fees, when she came here last week. "In desperation I told my wife about the whole affair," Gilmer said Simmons continued, adding that the couple quarreled and he checked into the Tulsa hotel Wednesday night.

It was there the next day that a friend called Simmons and told him his wife had been shot to death at the Mayo hotel a few blocks away. Gilmer said he intended "to find out all about that money, why it was paid, and will investigate every prcson who had anything to do with receiving it."

As the early crops come through the ground and start forming leaves, Miss Fletcher said, the problem of thinning to the correct distance must be given consideration. While many gardeners arc probably using less seed this year than ever before to establish a stand, in most cases, she said, there will be too many plants in the row to allow for proper development.

Proper spacing between plants in the row for some of the early cool weather crops as recommended by the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture is listed by Mis.s Fletcher as follows: beets, 3 inches; carrots, 3 inches; kale, 8 inches; kohlraki, 3 inches; lettuce, 4 inches; mustard, 4 inches, radishes, 1 inch; spinach, 4 inches: Swiss chard, 5 inches; and turnips, 2 inches. She advised that thinning should not be delayed until the plants are aproaching maturity as little or no benefit will be obtained. The job should be done as soon as the first 3 or 4 leaves have been formed. Miss Fletcher advised that victory gardeners, both rural and urban, can obtain free garden leaflets from the county Extension office. Japs Report Battle in Aleutian Area London, March 29 Wi A Japanese communique broadcast by the Tokyo radio declared today Japanese naval units had fought an engagement with "one my" warships off the Aleutian islands March 23, damaging I cruisers and a destroyer while suffering only slight losses.

(The Tokyo broadcast followed an official Washington announcement saying United States light naval forces had fought a long- range engagement with two Japanese heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and four destroyers convoying two large cargo ships toward the Aleutians last Friday. The Japanese forces were observed heading back to the west when the engagement was broken off, said the announcement, which made no mention of losses by cither side). Following the engagement, the communique said, "The enemy rc- eastward in disorderly flight." The "enemy" forces were said to consist of one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser and several destroyers. The broadcast was recorded by the Associated Press.

Retailers of Meats Get Slight Rest By The Associated Press Scant improvement in the supply situation marked the beginning of meat rationing today, but a slackening of demand gave retailers welcpmc respite from the hectic scenes of recent weeks. As in the case of canned fruits and vegetables, first products to be rationed under the point system in Uiis country, early reports indicated little desire on the part of housewives lo part immediately with their coupons. Predictions for the future generally were optimistic as retailers echoed official views that rationing would tend to equalize supplies. Meat-hungry New Yorkers were disappointed in the failure of an emergency shipment of 1,250,000 pounds of beef to arrive on schedule. Many retailers, reporting they have been without meat for a week, gathered in vain at wholesale markets early this morning.

The Fort Greene market in Brooklyn opened to 1,200 butchers, many of whom had waited seven huors. but they couldn't get so much as a promise. Across the Hudson, the situation was a little brighter. District OPA offices at Newark said they had secured the release of 180,000 pounds of meat for Newark, Paterson and Passaic after mayors of those three industrial cities had certified that supplies were seriously low. In Columbus, Ohio, where Saturday's meat buying approached stampede proportions dealers re ported ample supplies as the result of weekend shipments and deliberate withholding of some meat previously on hand.

But in Cleveland, scene of another mad scramble Saturday, Market Commissioner Frank C. Jcroski reported "there isn't a scrap of beef left." Cleveland chain stores, however, said they had sufficient supplies to honor ration coupons. Philadclphians found little meat available this morning, but arrival of 450,000 pounds plus an emergency OPA allotment of 350,000 pounds promised relief later in the day. In addition, 18 carloads of livestock rolled into the city. In Chicago, John A.

Kotal, executive secretary of the National Association of Retail Meal Retailers, said 90 per cent of the city's shops had little or no meat this morning, but OPA Regional Director Raymond S. McKeough said most butchers would be restocked by afternoon. OPA officials at Detroil expect- cd relief by Thursday when larger slaughterers resume activity under April quotas. Omaha and Sail Lake City likewise reported slim supplies, but the prospects for early re-stocking there were said to be meager, dozens of markets failed to open at Louisville, and at Cincinnati some butchers remained closed but called in their employes to explain the rationing rules.

THE GREMLINS Rommel In (Continued From Page One) an attack that began at dnwn Sunday, and intense patrol activity to the north indicated that the others were gagrcssively pushing forward. Dispaches from headquarters said the break through resulting in the occupation of "the whole of the strong organized positions" of the Mai-cth line was accomplished by an aerial bombardment at El Hamma so severe thnt even veteran German troops broke under the strain and had little fight left when ground troops went in with rifles and bayonets.

Beset by powerful forces forward and the desert flanking column at El Hamma in his rear, Rommel yielded Marcth, Matmala and Tou- jane at the northern end of the Mareth fortifications yesterday and dispatches said every strong point of that 40 mile long lilllc Majjinot Line was now in Allied hands. They were wrested from the enemy in some of the fiercest bals of the war conYoats In which more than 0,000 German and Italian soldiers were captured. Thousands of tons of bombs had been loosed upon the line by day and by night to supplement continual heavy artillery barrages. Dispatches from Cairo said it was officially announced Axis airfields protecting Gabes were being plowod up, which would be a sure sign that Rommel intended to abandon area to the Allies. (Since air protection would be necessary for a Dunkcrque escape by Rommel's army through ggabcs, any further withdrawal probably would mean he intended to attempt a fighting retreat for 200 miles or more up the coast to a junction with the command of Col.

Gen. Jurgcn Von Arnim in Ihe Tunis Bizertc region). Threatening his escape corridor for a stretch of 100 miles were the United States troops of Lieut. Gen. George S.

Patton, pushing toward the coast from newly captured Fondouk, Maknassy and El Guetar. "The attack which was launched on the afternoon of March 26 on the enemy's strong position south of El Hamma has forced the enemy to withdraw from the Marcth area." the communique said in opening its account of the victory. The southern front developments were copied with Allied gains at the center and in the north. United States troops made progress yesterday through difficult country east of El Guitar in one movement of the push toward the Axis escape corridor across the Gabes plain. "In the Maknassy and Fondouk areas (lo the north) our patrols were very active," the communi- que announced.

"In Ihc norlh in the Djcbcl Abiod area (some 50 miles southwes't of Bzicrle) local advances were made and a considerable number of prisoners were laken." Falling back toward the area of Gabes, 20 miles norlhwesl of Ihc village of Marelh, Rommel's troops were bombed and shot up In smashing attacks by Allied air forces. The collapse came on the ninth day of Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery's offensive against the mountainous Marcth line posilions. was the same time thai Montgomery's men, artillery and bombers needed to break through Rommel's first line at El Alamein, 1,500 miles farther east. Reports from the battlefront said Rommel was pulling back in an apparent last minute effort to avoid the trap set by Stilish and Uniled Slales Iroops i si hn Ichdl Uniled Slales troops in his rear from El Hamma, El Guetar, Mak- nassy and Fondouk.

The communique reported more than 6,000 Axis soldiers had been cuptumd since the opening gun of the Mareth Line offensive was fired March 20. The attack upon El Hamma, which cut to 15 miles the corridor past Gabes, was made with "the powerful and very effective support of our air forces," the communique said. Colorful Missouri Politician Dead Kansas City, March 211 Former Rep. Joseph B. Shannon, one of Missouri's most colorful political figures, is dead.

The 60 year old former political associate of Tom Pcndcrgnsl died yesterday of complication of a heart ailment and pcntiinonia. Shannon became ill in Washington, May 21, and suffered ccrcbrcal hemorrhage May 29 on the train bringing him home from the capital. Shannon was a political power in city, county 'and state circles more than 50 years. He served six terms as a member of congress starting in but did not seek reelection last year. Entering politics at 23, Shannon became an ally of James Ponder- gast, north side Democratic boss and continued the association when Tom Pcndergast, James' younger brother, succeeded to leadership of (he faction.

Later, however, the two disagreed and Shannon's power wanted, with Pcndergast taking control of the Democratic organization. In Congress Shannon led a campaign against government in business as chairman of a special committee lo investigate government compction with private enterprise.

Complete Food (Continued From Page One) lie eating places arc restricted by OPA In their overall supplies of rationed items and many establishments may restrict portions accordingly. The government is considering a portion rcstrcilion of Us own for Ihesc places.

Sliced bacon Is 8 points per pound, and the same value applies to butler and cheese. Margarine, lard and other shortenings cost 5, and conned fish points per pound.

Slices of ready to cal ham were 11 point luxuries. For coupon economy, there are spare ribs at 4 points per pound; pigs feet, brains, -I for veal or 3 for beef, lamb and pork; bee lei 0 and pork liver al 5 points per pound. If they are to be found, cans of fish may be sold again for Ihe firsl lime in six weeks, and small cans of salmon, tuna, shrimp, crab meat and jyslcrs appeared to be 3-point bargains. This may ease some of Ihe difficulties in lenten menus, although balanced by the rationing of cheese. Canned meats also went on tlu; market again, with point values corresponding roughly to fresh meat coupon costs.

In the processed foods field, point values of juices were cut in half or deeper in most cases, with the biggest benefits on the formerly popular 40 ounce cans, whose sale had come to a virtual standstill under rationing. This size can of pine apple or tomalo juice was cul from 32 to i'i points, and all other canned fruit juices were trimcd, in this size, from 23 to 9 points. Grape- juice came down from 8 to 4 points per pint. Prunes, raisins and other dried fruits were taken off the ration lists lemporarily (actually left on the official chart at zero point value) because of Ihc danger of spoilage on grocery shelves in the warm months. Apple juice was made unrestricted because of a surplus apple crop which is expected by officials to be turned largely inlo juice.

The popular No. 2 size can of dry beans, including baked beans, pork and beans, and kidney beans, which had been selling faster than slorcs could replenish for very long, was uppecl from lo li points per can. The same size of canned fresh lima beans was raised from 1C to Hi points, and tomato catsup and chile sauce were boosted from fl to 10 points for Ihc 14-7ounce size. Dehydrated soups got a 50 per ccnl reduction with the usual 2 12 ounce package dropping from 4 to 2 points. Forzen foods were left unchanged in popular size packages, but some of the larger size containers were raised a point or two.

Canned soups also were left unchanged, but lomalo soup was scl up in a separate classification in preparation for possible differential between its value and other canned soup points.
