ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AF. RICA, April 26 — (A P) — British and German armored mights were engaged today in a crucial struggle on the narrow plain east of Goubcllat and everywhere on the Tunisian front the Allies were advancing or at least holding firm.

German troops yere reported retreating be- fore the American attack in the northern sector after less than four days of stiff fighting. French troops advanced to within little more than three miles of Pont Du Fahs.

Advanced elements of the 2nd American army corps had reached a line three miles east of Sidi N’_Slr and only about 10_ miles southwest of Mnteur, rall and hlghway_|unctlon between the two enemy strongholds of Blzerte and Tunis.

All British, American and French forces en- gaged in the great multi-pointed offensive to crush the Axis forces in Tunisia were reported to have “continued their steady progress on all sectors," assisted by powerful aerial support.
