The March allowance announced by the Office of Price Administration last night provides, on an average, for only about three cans per person for the month. Price Administrator Prentiss Brown estimated the civilian supply from March 1 to September, 1944, would average a little more than cases a month compared with 30,000,000 in 1941-42.

This week all families must live on the canned goods they have, and next week, when sales are relumed, they take a new kind of ration book to the Everyone hat. 48 points to "spend" In Marth, and families may pool their points.

The German marshal thrust to within eight miles of Thala, a little less than 90 miles south of the Mediterranean coast.

This drive indicated that Rommel was turning his forces northward in an effort to cut Allied communications and force their withdrawal from their positions where they had established themselves before Tunis and Bizerte. Rommel Makes New Gain Altho Rommel scored another success In his dafh northward thru the hills from Kasserine pass, he was turned back in two other jabs to the northeast in the direction of Sbiba, the dispatches from North Africa said. An earlier communique from Allied headquarters also said Rommel had been repulsed in a strong attack westward from Kasserine toward Tebessa in Algeria, in the Sbiba area and farther to the northeast in the Medjeb-El-Bab zone Heavy casualties and tank losses were suffered by the Germans at the hands of the British and Ameri. cans In violent fighting, it was reported, and the Germans were said to have lost 14 of their tanks in storming toward Thala last night. 70 Tanks Press On Rommel however, with a spearhead of more than 70 tanks.

Advices from the palace indicated Gandhi was growing weaker by the hour, hut there was no hint that intended to abandon his fast short of the 21-day goal he has set. Grave concern over his condition was reflected in a government communique issued yesterday in Bombay, which said that "if the fast is not ended without delay it may be too late to save his life." "His heart sounds are weak and the volume of his pulse is small," the bulletin said. "He is extremely weak, so that even the swallowing of water exhausts him."

A conference of Indian political leaders also assembled in New Delhi yesterday and cabled Prime Minister Churchill asking Gandhi's release. There was no hint, however, of any change in the position taken by the government.

One spokesman pointed out yesterday that while great pressure is being brought to bear on the government, "practically no one has taken the obvious course of suggesting that Gandhi himself is equally able to save his own life by ending the fast Woman Injures Forehead in Fall Hazel VanBrunt. 305 Sewall ave-nue. injured her forehead in a fall yesterday.
