22 MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1M3. THE OTTAWA. JOURNAL1 Lines of Captives Seen by the King WITH THE KING PARTY IN TUXISIA, June 18 '(Delayed) VP) The victory at Pantelleria was brought home to King George' today when he passed several hundred Italian prisoners from the island while he was inspecting North. African military head- quarters. King is reviewing Allied force' in North Africa.

He was visiting a Guards regi ment when he saw the prisoners in a field across from the main building along with a smaller contingent of Germans. The King walked out of the building to where he could get a better view of them. He saw plenty of evidences of the earlier triumphs in Tunisia on his tour today. His car passed slowly through the Tunis dock area, through whole blocks of wrecked buildings, piles of rubble and twisted girders. He ras shown a gargantuan German Tiger tank which is still sitting on one street.

He clambered up the side and peered into the insides of the monster and then asked to see how the main gun turret worked. After he finished with the tank he walked across the street toward a croup of French Boy Scouts with the French Gen. Barre. the French troops in Tunisia. As they approached, a priest in a white cassock ran up to Gen, Barre and said something and then ran back into the crowd.

When he reappeared the priest was leading a prett little French girl by the hand. On her white blouse was the Croix de Guerre. Proudly the general presented her to the King. Her name was Pauline Bartolia. She was 16.

She had received the Croix de Guerre for having hidden' 30 Allied prisoners who had escaped from the Germans while Tunis was still held by the Germans. In French the King risked her to tell him about it She smiled gravely and said only a few words. Then she bowed and hook hands again and he went back to the car. 'Within Bomb Range.

Riding in an open car across the blistered African plain, he was so badly sunburned this morning that doctors at the army headquarters where he stopped for lunch had to adminster treatment. The King was' wearing khaki shorts and a short-sleeved bush jacket. By early afternoon his forearms had been burned red. He changed to a closed car i.

There, after inspecting troops and long lines of air men, re-entered a tent and gave the accolade which formally knighted Sir Hugh Lloyd, air vice-marshal commanding the North African coastal air force. He then entered his car and started across country, through fields that are already peacefully under cultivation, although dotted here and there with the twisted skeletons of Axis air craft and trucks and cars. Thousands of French farmers had a late lunch, or none at all today. Their wives and daughters lined the sun-scorched streets of the little towns until they caught sight of the King. Many of them stood for hours in the simmering heat When his car passed they applauded wildly and pelted it with flowers.

For endless miles the road was lined with troops who stood rigidly at attention, despite the crushing sunshine, until the King appeared. Then they broke Into cheers. The Boyal ear stopped frequently. Dosens' of times the King got out to talk with the officers and return the salutes of the men. He met one tank unit that had oiled and polished the grim, ponderous machines until they liter ally glittered in the sun.

You seldom see a tank that isn't cov ered with mud and dust and clut tered all over with a spare track and even bailing wire. But these tanks looked as though they had just come out of a jeweler's win dow. As he rode past, the King invited the commanding officer to get in the Royal car with him. The officer gulped and blushed and put his hand on the side, obviously prepared to climb right over the rear mudguard. The King laughed and snapping tne laicn said, "Well, there is a He had a cold 'lunch at a di visional headquarters.

Cold roast chicken and roast lamb, salad, a fruit souffle, oatcakes, cheese and coffee were served. Some swal lows had nested In the open eaves beneath tWf ceiling and with sublime disregard for royalty they fluttered up and down the room throughout the meal. The King seemed amused. Returning in his airplane late in the afternoon, after more inspection and reviewing, he flew on into Tunisia and spent the night at a villa occupied by Brit ish and American headquarters officers. It was the same villa where Minister Churchill stayed overnight during his visit several weeks ago.

Says War Destroyed Distrust of Russia MANCHESTER, June Distrust between Soviet Russia and other nations has been destroyed by the war, Sir Stafford Cripps said today, adding that the way has been opened for a new era. "I believe," he said, "that if history records Hitler as having been of any use whatever to the world it will be because he destroyed the distrust which formerly existed between Russia and the rest of the civilized world and so opened the way to a new and more hopeful organization of international He spoke before the Anglo-Soviet association here.

Appeals to Dutch Prepare for Invasion LONDON, June Prince Bernhard of the Nether lands said in a radio address to his homeland today that final decisions concerning an Allied invasion of the continent- were known "only at the but that when the operation finally starts it will be decisive. "The aim is toUl liberation and not 'a glorious adventure' which would leave behind deeper suffering among he said.

"I assure you that hard work is being done." The Prince appealed to the people of the Netherlands to be ready to aid the invasion, saying the Allies "count on your faith, on your steadfastness and on your collaboration at the moment which will be indicated from WOODSHED AS APARTMENT.

BASE IN THE ALEUTIANS.

June 21. (CP) Canadian pilots participating' in aerial offensives to soften the Japanese in the Aleutians are getting the best possible preliminary combat ex perienceNand enhancing the high regard won by the Dominion's flying men on other fronts. United States officials In charge of combat operations in the North Pacific praise the R.C.A.F. pilots for their resourcefulness and speed in adapting themselves to the most treacherous flying con ditions in the worrsW Four Ca nadian airmen were awarded the American Air Medal soon after beginning operations. Year' in Action.

Since late last Summer R.CA.F. pilots have been taking part In raids on the Japanese stronghold at Kiska, first from the Ameri can Army Air Force base at Urn nak and later from the new A lied springboard at Amchitka. They went to these attack bases in groups from R.CA.F. stations further east in the Aleutians. The Canadian pilots who bomb ed Kiska from fighter 'planes met practically no fighter opposition from the enemy and little anti aircraft fire, and probably be cause of these conditions regard their action in the Aleutians as only a taste of combat before go- in to Euro dc.

All of them say they want to go overseas to get into tough air combat for which they have been training so long. Tbey realize they have a job to do in the Aleutians but to them it's not the real thing. The Japs are hold Ing Kiska merely as a forward position from which to oppose possible Allied raids on Japanese Asiatic The enemy is not on the offensive in the North Pacific. Softening Is Objective. But in expressing these senti ments the Canadians are likely minimizing both the value and the dangers of their job.

The objective of their attacks is to pummel the Kiska Japanese so the inevitable American ground force landing Will find as little resistance as possible. The chief danger In the North Pacific theatre is the weather the toughest in the world for fly ing. Snow, rain and sleet storms come and go In minutes.

Bob Lynch, of Winnipeg. Airborne time for an attack on Kiska was shortened after an Allied base was established last February at Amchitka, about 70 miles from the Japanese base. Each Canadian makes his first mission as part of an American squadron but as soon as possible an R.CA.F. unit files together. They usually fly to Kiska at high level, power dive, and drop their bitT bombs, then run back and forth sprinkling fragmentation bombs on enemy installations.

Most of the pilots in the Canadian fighter and bomber squad rons have been on raids against Kiska, but the ground crews have had no taste of action. Canadian ground crews are left behind when pilots go "down the chain" to op erate from United States -Army air force bases where American crews handle the ground duties. Because the ground crews don't get so close to action, they be come "browned off" faster than pilots but even the flyers are anxious to get to England on the chance of more action than in the Aleutians, where weather often stops -operations for days at a time.

(Delayed) The King, receiving an enthusi astic welcome In Tunis today, wore a long sleeved bush jacket instead of a shortsleeved one, as on the previous day. For this there were two reasons. One was the African sun, which had burned his arms.

The other was an American Private Dominic Albonizio. Albonizio used to be a tailor before the war. And he showed he used to be a good one by the job he did when he was called upon to help the King in emer A annrrh nf th hparimiartjtra where the King stayed Thursday night 'failed to unearth -a long- sleeved bushjacket he would wear, but it unearthed the talents of Albonizio, who made one by sewing part of the sleeves from another garment He did it very neatly too and the seams were detectable only at the closest range.

VP) Lord Wlrvster said in a speech Saturday that British shipyards had built 900 warships since the war 'began and had replaced by last September all naval Mossses suffered by the Royal Navy.

The Labor Peer, frequently critical of the Admiralty, said this was evidence that Britannia still rules the waves. 'He said soldiers had been delivered overseas with the loss, of only 1,348 men since the fall of France and that 5,000.000 tons' of Axis shipping had been sunk and 3,000,000 tons damaged to March, Two enemy battleships; 14 cruisers. 17 destroyers and many other lesser vessels have been sunk, he said, adding that the Italians had been unable to sink a single British ship so far. Lord Winster said that in two out of three, great convoys sent to North Africa, not a ship or a Ufa was lost Losses in convoy protection have been kept down to one of one percent! and the merchant' navy has delivered tons of imports annually, he said. Lord Winster said at any given moment 2,000 merchantmen and 600 warships were at sea.
