BERNE. May 10 — (ATP)— The bulk of the Germans at home are "walking around as though hit on the head" at news of the Allied triumph in North Africa, p, Berlin dispatch saicll tonight.

At the same time. it was disclosed that, the Allied successes were a signal for increased resistance in ffrance against the occupation

troops,

A Berlin dispatch to the Tribune De Geneva said the stunning effect of the Axis’ loss of Tunis and Biz- erte was due largely to the per- sistence of the Nani press and uro- paganda. machine in keeping up Gterman hope until the last min- u e.

The correspondent wroio that the impact of the defeat therefore was far greater than that of Stalingrad which was long expected and await- ed and built up by Nazi propag-

of Europe's shores.

Almost everywhere else around the globe the ildc has turned defin- itely in favor of the Allles. who are riding to victory on a rapidly rising flood of war production which ls pouring out weapons in quantity and quality which the Axis can not match.

China. la the one theatre in which the overwhelming power of Allied ' War production cannot make itself fcll. to any considc able extent.

But. it is difficult to see how China can bc greatly bolstered bv her Allies until either Burma is reconquerr ‘ ' able to blast a way through Jspanb chain of Island fortresses that line the coast. of Asia or some other route ls developed.

or Allied naval air power ls

But none cf these possible avenues is likely tn be opened for months,

perhaps years. The reconquest of Burma. for example, probably can not even be begun until next fall and the recent Japanese 5110005585 along the Arakan 00051. thrusting the British forces almost back to the Indian bor- der, show that Allied success is not to be taken for granted.

In the months or years that apparently must puss before aid to China is moved near the top of the United Nations‘ priority list, there ls real danger that free China may be knocked out of the war.

RICA, May 10—(AP)-—German troops battled in desperate but doomed struggle today to hold open an escape corridor at the neck of Cap Bon Penin- sula for Axis forces still fighting on a narrowing arc 25 miles to the southwest.

They fought from fuel-less tanks dug in as pill boxes-spending their blood and dwindling sup. plies of artillery shells to buy a few hours’ time for more Axis remnants to join the 80,000 troops es-
