ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN FRENCH NORTH AFRICA, Nov. ll—-(AP)—American par- uciluiisls staged the longest nlrbornr invasion in history when they flew in transport planes 1.500 miles non-stop from England to participate in the assault on Oran.

It was disclosed foni ht that the parachute troops, ed by Col. Ed. Raff of New York, 34, and wearing camouflaged baffle suits, boarded planes curly Saturday night and flew continuously for eight hours across Europe and the Med- iterranean to land nt dawn Sunday near Oran.

Great Interest In Churchill's War lleview

By DOUGLAS AMARON (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON Nov. ll — CP CABLE) —- Prime Minister Churchill, hull- ing the 8th army's victory in Egypt, promised tine House of Conunons today that the Allies will strike MW. hard blows at the Axis and ce- ciascd the moment Germuily be- comes “demora1lzed" by Allied pres- sure m Europe and Africa she will be struck by invasion across the English Channel or North Sea.

Even as Hitler's goose-steppihﬁ troops were over-running France, the Prime Munster was promising during s. lengthy war re- view to an electriﬁed chamber that. the "immense degree of preparat- ion" necessary for a. blow acrcss the Chalhnel or North Scu- "ls PTO-

cee ng. "But it takes time," he warned. "Of course, should the enemy be- come demoralizcd at any momenv the same careful preparations will not be needed. Risks could be run on a large scale."

Predicts New Events

In a message ringln with opt- lmis Mr. Churchi mid th House it could be sure "that many things are going w happen in the next few days.’ and sounded lm ominous warning to the Nazis’ ner- vous ally when he said "we shall shortly have far greater facilities for bombing Italy."

In outlining Britain's "cnormous” preparations to invade the con- tinent, he reminded commons that the German army in France is “as large, apart from the hOme guard, as ours in Britain," though not so well equipped.

Invasion Plans Proceed

Hlesaid that invasion preparat- ions had been "Greatly advanced," and that. "enormous installations have been and are being brought into existence at all our suitable ports." He declared. however that it would have been "physically impossible‘ to have made an effective invasion across the continent during the past sununcr or autumn,

Mr. Churchill adnlltted. it was with some trc idaiion that he flew ‘to Moscow n the sunlmcr to notlly Premier: Stalin that the Allies dld not plan an invasion of the con- tinent in I942.

"Although the news that‘ I brought was not welcome and not considered by them adequate. never- theless the fact remains we parted good friends, and in the words which Stalin uses. complete understanding exists between us.

Silver Championships Decided At Show

Interest increases at big Fox Exhibition; New Types to be placed Today.

Interest increased at the ‘ day of the Provincial Live Foil Show yesterday. Visitors wee pre- sent from Quebec, Nova. Scotia and New Brunswick, and in the afteznoorl there was a large at. tendance which included the above

and city and out-of-town spect-

ators.

Fbr two minutes following 10.56 the show judge, exhibitors and visitors observed a two minute

sience in tribute to those vmo fell in defence of the'r country, botil in earlier wars and in the present conflict.

The light was poor in the morn- ing, but improved towards noon and was excellent in the afteznoon The extra light class, 95 t0 101) per- cent silver, held the spotlight all morning and up until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Entrcs reached as high as 24 in the male pllp cuss. All foxes on display were of good quality, and some were really out- standing.

It took Judge Brenton Clark much longer than usual to arrive at decisions, so close was the run- nlng for top awards. Sec. 1, adult male, was topped by W.I-l. Tid- mnrsh with n magnificent animal. But John C. Mountain's fox was a very worthy second, wth the former champion breeder Roy Woodside, third, and H. G Muttart, fourth,

Hg. Muttart won the adult fema e class.

Male pup class had twenty-four entries, and probably it was, from a. pelt. standpoint, the most out- standing exhibit of the show to date. H.G. Multart placed 1 with the pup that later became the champion pup of the show, while Ralph G Muttart, won second,

Roy Woodside third, Enlest 'r. M'l fourth. Female Pups In this class were

an excellent Zot All of the twenty entries could be classed as very de- sirable. Stewart and Lewis won first, with Roy Woodside second Ernest T. Mil third, and Gordon MacMillan fouth.

Little News 0f Battle In Libyan Desert

the lualnpant British 8m army con- tinued to hack alvily at the fleelng Axis Airlca Corps both lnslde 25g pl. and across me Libyan border to ay, Allied bomber squadrons and sub- marines roamed the Mediterranean and struck repeated blows at enemy surface forces that might have hop- ed to assist Mﬂrshlll Erwin Rommel in his painful retreat westward.

A British submarine under com- mand of Licut. J.W.D. Coombe reported scoring two torpedo hits on c. force of three cruisers and lhree destroyers enst of Sicily, while torpedo planes operating from Malta reported two hits on a cruis- er south of Cape spartaventc. Al- terward, fighter planes on a broad sweep from Malta declared there was not an Italian vessel in sight.

Absence of news of the struggle inside Licyo. led military observers i0 speculnlc on the possibility that Gen. Montgomery, instead of con- tinuing a direct pursuit of the dis- organized Nazis, might be setting a trap that would cut them off well short 0f TNPOll-

Giff sir Archibald Wavell, they point/ed out, dxmolistrated nearly two years ago the feasibility of an overland dash directly across Cir- exlaica to a point on the coast road near Agedabia.

Axis forces occupied all

of France, invaded Corsica,

off the south shore, and sped by air across the Mediter- ranean to land in Tunisia Wednesday and challenge Bri- tish and United States troops plunging eastward toward

that key African province.

The United States troops, reinforced by the

crack

British 1st Army, had reached Bougie, 280 miles west of Bizerte, the Tunisian naval-air base where Axis aerial ro- inforcements were reported landing. The Allied advance was facilitated by Admiral Jean Dzlrlan’s cease-fire order to all Vichy French colonial troops in Algeria, Morocco,

and Tunisia.

had ordered Vichy’: African

The Germans were bombers and fighters, in Tunisia,

the Allies were being welcomed by the people. Casablanca, bat

Oran and Algiers had capitulated;

Vichy French and Allied prisoners in the short four-day battle were being exchanged; Allied reinforce- ments were pouring into the French ports opened to them.

Hitler destroyed his almistico with Marshal Petaln when he sent German and Italian troo s early yesterday into the rema nder of France.
