FIVE BILLION
IN WAR LOANS
SUBSCRIBED
Sweetwater and Nolan resi-
dents continued to ring up
more bond sales, and votes for
Victory Commander, today in
the Second War Loan bond
drive; while United Press dis-
patches from Washington re-
vealed that $5,000,000,000 of the
$13,000,000,000 needed by Uncle
Sam had been subscribed al-
ready.
Subscriptions of $2,015,000,000
from non-banking ^sources were
reported to the treasury by the
New York'Federal Reserve bank
and another $2,000,000,000 was
subscsribed in the first three
days by the banks.
With the total of these two
items over $4,000,000,000 and no
reports available yet from the
11 other Federal Reserve banks,
officials here said that there
was no doubt that the grand to-
tal was well over the $5,000,000,-
000 mark.
Reports coming to the treas-
ury show that many cities and
towns opened the drive with
s<>me kind of show, the admis-
sion ticket to which was the
purchase of at least an $18.75
war savings bond. Richmond,
Va., collected $285,000 that way.
The second cup of coffee idea,
which the treasury believes
originated in restaurants of
Philadelphia, has spread to oth-
er cities.

ANGLO - FRENCH UNITS
SEIZE 2 TUNISIA HILLS
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, April 15—(UP)—
British and French troops Smashed through strong Axis opposi-
tion to seize two strategic hills guarding the outer fringe of the
northeast Tunisian coffin corner today, while Gen. Sir Bernard
Montgomery massed for a frontal assault on the enemy coastal
defense lines.
Striking quickly in an effort to prevent Nazi Marshal Erwin
Rommel from consolidating his new lines around Tunis and
Bizerte, British infantry made a fierce attack through mountain
country and captured,the hill Mass Djebel Ang, right miles north-
west of Medjez El Bab.
French forces advancing in the Ousseltia sector pressed north-
ward and took Djebel Sefsouf, about seven miles northeast of
Karaclioum.
A total of 000 more prisoners, including 200 seized by the
British at Mass Djebel Ang and 400 taken by the French at Djebel
Sefsouf, was reported in today's communique, running the grand
total since the Mareth line offensive to more than 30,000. Total
for the entire Tunisian campaign is about 35,000 prisoners.
Of the 30,000 prisoners officially announced since the Mareth
attack, about 7,000 were Germans and 23,000 Italians. The fact
that the British captured mostly Germans at Mass Djebel Ang,
however, indicated that Rommel had completed the withdrawal
of its best forces and was starting his last-ditch stand in defense
of Bizerte and Tunis with crack German units.
Montgomery's Eighth Army was massing along the Enfidaville
line, about 50 miles south of Tunis, for an assault.

(For the first time since the
start of the war, the Axis now
is rocking under a three-front
allied bombing offensive which
is dropping a record tonnage of
explosives on. Germany, Italy
.and occupied territory.
The United States army air
force and the Royal Air Force
have been carrying on unpre-
cedented attacks directed pri-
marily at the German war in-
dustries in the Ruhr, the U-
boat bases and facilities, and
transport mediums.
Since the start of the closing
,phase of the battle of Tunisia,
American and British long ran-
ge bombers based in Africa, and
Malta have joined in with stea-
dily mounting attcaks on the
Italian mainland, Sicily and Sar-
dinia.
Now t lie Russian air for-
ce lias opened up a third
major bombing sphere witli
two heavy raids on Koenigs-
berg. East Prussian base
and communications center,
in the last, few days.
Koenigsburg is known as one
of .the chief German baser in.

in Russia.
The Soviet attacks were be-
lieved to have been carried out
by the Red air fleet's counter-
part of the American Flying

is known as the TB6. It has a
reported range of about 1,200
miles with a 6,000-pound load.

The statements of both were

—(UP)—A warning that "a great onslaught with all the savagery

TODAY'S
WAR
MOVES
By Louis F. Keemle
UP War Analyst
Gen. Douglas MacArthur has
startlingly clarified the picture
of the war in the western Pa-
cific with the blunt warning
that the Japanese control the
sea lanes and the approaches
to Australia.
Any complacency over the
feats of the air force under Mac-
Arthur's command in holding
back further Japanese encroach-
ments in New Guinea and the
Solomons is dissipated by the
stark reality of Japanese land
and air strength in the arc front-
ing Australia.
The Japanese are attacking in
formations of up to 100 planes.
According to American figures,
their losses are disproportion-
ately heavy, totaling 129 destroy-
ed or put out of action in four
raids between April 7 and April
11, against a comparative hand-

The Allies blasted new chinks
in the Axis defenses west of
Tunis and Bizerte today and
massed their forces for the gen-
eral offensive to complete the
| conquest of Tunisia.
Overriding strong opposition,
, British and French troops ad-
vanced in the northern sector to
seize two strategic hills and the
: village of Heidous, six miles nor-
Ith of Medjez El Bab.
At the other end of the
battle arc the British Eigh-
th army was moving up for
an assault on the Afrika
Korp's mountain line some
50 miles south of Tunis.
The allied air offensive again-
,st Europe was in full sway
again. British bombers carried
out a "very heavy' rail on Stut-
tgart, East Prussia was bombed
■for the third time in five nights,
presumably by Russian planes,
and 19 Axis fighters were shot
down in the Mediterranean the-
ater.
The Royal Air Force put the
bombing campaign against Eur-
ope back on a non-stop basis
with a powerful attack on Stutt-
gart, industrial center of south-
west Germany and home of maj-
or war plants. Twenty-three
.planes were lost in the raid,
described officially as a highly
concentrated thunderbolt bomb-
ardment in "very^ heavy" force.

U. S. Thunderbolt Soon To Blitz Nazis
As Greatest Fighting Airplane Built
LONDON, April 15—(UP)
—A new American fighter
plane—the crack Thunder-
bolt—may alter the whole
picture of aerial warfare in
this theater, experts believ-
ed today.
The Thunderbolts, which
are technically designated
as P-47's are able to accom-
pany United States Flying
Fortresses and Liberators all
the way to targets in Ger-
many and back again.
They are the first such
escort ships that have suf-
ficient range to make stich
long flights in this theater
and to give the big day light
bombers protection through-
out their journey.
As the longest ranged and
hardest hitting as well as
the heaviest fighter yet
built, the Republic's Thun-
derbolt Is believed by ex-
perts here to be the answer
to the German Focke-Wulf
190 at. any altitude up to the
stratosphere where the For-
tresses can fly.
The new fighter is as yet
untested in combat but on
paper the ship has every-
thing that is needed to lick
the best Focke-Wulf on the
Nazis own home grounds.
(According to data pub-
lished in the United States,
the new Thunderbolt has a
2,000 horsepower radial en-
gine and mounts six big .50
calibre — half inch — maclv
ineguns. It has a speed of

Kenney said the aillied air-

"The thing to remember is
' that if we shoot down one of
the enemy's aircraft, he replac-
