ground that have reached the retreating: Africa corps in Libya are probably relatively small in riimber but well equipped and it row seems probable that Hitler is some to rush additional

and some of the former modified for operations from carrier and American Curtiss P-40s and Lockheed Lightnings (P-3Ss) are opposing the Atesserschmitt '-twins--the 109 and the Heinkels and the Junkers dive bombers of the nazis So far neither side seems to have Introduced any startling new types in the air battles although the Lockheed seems to be getting its first real baptism of fire in north Africa at the same time that it is receiving its first major combat operational tests in the New Guitrea-Solomons area (Lockheeds 'have been in Britain for some months and have accompanied many of our

victories in Africa reports from the continent said Wednesday Persons arriving in Ankara from Italy said an estimated 65000 nazi agents wearing civilian clothes have moved into the country during the past few weeks Most of them are represented as business men or technical advisers but actually are gestapo agents These persons said that after the reneWid bombing of northern Italy gossip spread that an antifascist uprising was planned and that the new government would make peace with the Swiss reports said more than 200 persons have been arrested recently for listening for allied radio broadcasts and then spreading allied information The basis of the German military organization is the basic infantry corresponds to our squad and is composed of 10 men Four of these squads plus a light mortar squad and a platoon headquarters compose a platoon which is commanded by a first or second lieutenant Three platoons and an antitank rifle section make up a company commanded byk a captain The basic weapon of the German infantry platoon is the rifle There are 28 rifles of the standard 79- mm caliber each weighing nine pounds in the platoon There are five so-called Schmeisser machine pistols which fire 250 to 320 rounds a minute Other weapons include the familiar "potato masher" hand grenades the double purpose MG-34 79-mm machine guns the Luger pistol and a 50-mm light mortar Using Medium Tank The standard tank that is likely to oppose united nations forces in the climactic battles for north Africa that are now developing Is the German tank IV a 22-ton medium tank with a crew of five Its armor varies from about 16 inches to 24 inches in thickness and its principal armament is a short 75-mm gun of lesser power than the 75 used in our 11-3 and M-4 tanks The German Mark III is an 18-ton tank also with a crew of five but mounting a 37-mm or 50-mm gun These tanks have been rather clearly outmatched according to preliminary reports from Egypt by the American M-3s and M-4s Another militarystorm is brewing on the borders of Indit and Burma The Japanese have reinforced Burma bringing their strength there to some six divisions and allied air raids against Japenese-held points in

president of the American Jewish congress said Wednesday a special conference committee of international Jewish organizations had set December 13 as a day of mourning fasting and prayer in protest against a new nazi anti-Jewish atrocity program of which he had proof from the state department Asserting that he was authorized by the state department to disclose details of the program which Dr Wise said would mean death for 5000000 Jews in Hitler-dominated Europe the New York rabbi said he was publicizing the information to "win the support of a Christian world so that its leaders may intervene and protest the horrible treatment of Jews in Hitler Europa" Dr Wise who told Tuesday in Washington of some of the ties which he claimed had been confirmed said he had "reason to believe
