Admiral Jean Darlan proclaimed I
himself administrator of French
North Africa, where the rest of
Lieut. Gen Dwight D. Elsenhow-
er’s AEF was consolidating its po-
sition swiftly. Darlan declared that
he acted upon authority granted
by Marshal Petain, and appointed
Gen. Henri Glraud as commander
in chief of French forces in North
Africa in co-operation with the Al-
lies. i
The German-controlled Vichy ra-
dio, however, broadcast a declara-
tion in the name of Marshal Pe-
tain declaring Darlan dismissed
from all military commands and
public functions. ’
Vichy Troop* at Toulon
Across the Mediterranean large
numbers of Vichy troops arrived
at Toulon to garrison the naval
base which the Germans bypassed
in their occupation of Southern
France for fear that the French
fleet there would cross over to the
Allies rather than fall Into Ger-
man hands.
The Morocco radio said the Ital-
ians had declared a stage of siege
at Ajaccio and other towns of Cor-
sica as a result of resistance which
French garrisons put up against
Italian forces occupying the Island
a communique from Cairo said the
British Eighth Army had occupied
the landing ground at Matruba,
between Tobruk and Dema yester-
day while other forces swept west-
ward on Rommel's heels.
Allied planes kept up their cease-
of the remnant of his
North Africa army
which pushed within 70 miles of
toe British Naval base at Alexan-
dria before the stunning defeat
which left more than 75.000 Axis
soldiers in desert graves, hospitals
or orison camns
Broadcasts from Berlin indicated
that Rommel might attempt a new
stand soon, and mid some of his
forces already had reachad prepar-
ed positions. ■ Agheila te a likely

Elsewhere on the European-Af-

Field Marshal Rommel was re-

the road from Bengasi to El Aghei-
la where he was expected to try one
more stand on the battlefield where
he stopped another British army
in 1941—A battlefield more than
500 costly miles from El Alamein,
Egypt, and still 400 miles short of
the escape port of Tripoli.
For the fourth time this month
English - based British bombers
brought the war of bomb-wrought
ruin home to Italy in a 1,500-mile
roundtrip raid last night on Genoa.
It was the RAP’s second attack in
three nights on the badly-battered
naval base and supply port for
North Africa
In Russia the Red army struck in
apparent determination to take ad-
vantage of the German’s preoccu-
pation in North Africa. The Rus-
sians beat off Nazi attacks in Sta-
lingrad, scored gains in the Central
Caucasus, and wrested a “place of
great tactical Importance" from the
Germans on the Volkhov front be-
tween Lake Ilmen and Leningrad.
The Vichy radio broadcast a dis-
patch from La Lines. Spain, re-
porting that two Allied battleships,
two aircraft carriers, four cruisers
and nine destroyers sailed into the
Mediterranean from Gibraltar this
morning. Such a force could hit
heavily at Axis efforts to open troop
reinforcement lanes to Tunisia
acroas the Central Mediterranean.
A Moscow broadcast quoting the
Turkish newspaper Ikdam said that
once the Alites had cleaned the
Axis out of North Africa they could
be expected to occupy the islands
of Crete, Sardinia and Corsica and
"make their first Jump into Europe
via the Italian mainland.”

From Vichy came a broadcast in

and all military commands. This
was in contradiction to Darlan’s

authority came from Petain.

By JAMES M LONG
Aasociated Fren War Editor -
The Axis admitted today
that it had moved German
and Italian forces into the
French protectorate of Tuni-
sia, and British and American
fighting men came to grips
with them there with an evi-
dent determination to give
Hitler and Mussolini a taste
of Dunkerque.
An Italian communique said
"Italian and German troops have
landed in Tunisia with the approval
of civil and military French auth-
orities?
Whatever French civil and mili-
tary authorities the Italians had in
mind tn thia version, they obvious-
ly did not include stout-hearted
French garrisons of the Bizerte na-
val base and the Tunis airfields
who welcomed the invaders only
with bullets and put up what re-
sistance their limited force permit-
ted.
Allied sources who had said the
Axis troops were in Tunisia by the
middle of last week, estimated that
the Initial force aggregated 10.000.

President Castillo is considered

The conservatives have the gov-

Ortiz, which elevated then Vice
President Castillo to the presidency.
Mixed WHh Feiities
The conservatives want to stay

is tangled with Argentine politic*.
The government is concentrating
Its energies on heading off toe
presidential candidacy of General
Augustin P. Juste, leading pro-Al-

the Axis would boost Justob stock
tremendously, although many Ar-
gentine liberals object to him be-
cause of local Issues. These local is-
sues now are overshadowed by toe
unpopular neutrality policy of the
government. t
Some Argentines feel that Castil-
lo won’t break with the Axis, until
he can make such a move help the
conservatives and not the opposi-
