Big Battle Expected To 0pen Soon

Strategic Ekar Base May Swing To Al- lied Side.

IDNDON. Nov. 1'! —(CP)— Big American transport planes scatter- ed British parachute troop; deep in ‘Punisia toniBht in advance of a major enveloping movement by the revitalized British 1st Army of Wanders and United States Flying Co unns.

The word at Allied headquarters was thgt advanced French patrols were making contact with German reconnaissance groups. These latter appeared to be operating out of Bizcrte, which Berlin said is de- finitely in the hands of Axis forces. From the Atlantic coast. a. sun- day dispatch out of Monrovia, Lib- eria, gave the first hint that the strategic Vichy naval base of Dakar has begun negotiation; lookin to- ward capliiilation t0 Amer can- British forces.

From oil accounts it appeared that the real battle which may well decide control of the Mediterran- ean. and the fate of the Axis arm- ies in both Tunisia and Libya is about; to open.

Reports to Allied headquarters said the French patzol which first made contact with German scout- ing units didn't immedlatel en- gage the Gemans. but mercy re- ported back to the main Allied forces.

According lo radio Algiers, how- ever. the Gcrmon reconnaissance forces were diven back in a patrol skirmish. In any event. it was obvious that the Germans had not passed frrm the defensive.

The British parachutlsts mush- rooming into Tunisia were reported to have reached their objectives without opposition. The transport planes which chopped them were escorted by United States fighter aircraft.

Enemy advices during the day lent support to the belief that the combined Allied forces are operat- fnt: in both northern and southern columns in an effort to trap the Germans’ and Italians in 'I‘u'.iLsia and close the road to Trlpoii.

Still under the srme code of strict secrecy which covered the start of the north Andean onero-

tions. Lt-Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hower's headquarters disclosed nothing of the Allie-d advance

movement or of the strength of forces stll‘ pouriivr into Allied-held north African ports.

But an Allied cnvcinplnq inan- oeuvre, hinted alinost a week ago by the reported movement of United States forces soiilheastwurd from Aleiers. was indiralcd strongly by n Berlin hiwli cor-wand communi- qiii- wh"'eh sald:- l "Mxrching enemy columns on the coasts‘ rnrd enst of Bone (in tho Aleerlnn-Tunisia frontier country) and in tho Southern border dislrcr. of Tunisia sirffevod heavy lcsses from our air attacks."

The Agriculture Department. the Prices Board and the Dominion Bureau oi‘ statistics today told a slory of sharply-rising fluid milk consumption in Canada, at a. time when production of cheese and butter, and demand for those pro- ducts, are coating records.

The drain on mllk supplies has led to lulk of butter rationing, but Prices Board officials snid nope still iunziins thnt increasing ‘pro- duction will keep pace with higher demand. The tnaln concern over the butter situation comes from the l3,000.000-pouiid reduction of stock in stoic at Nov. i in com- parison with the five-year average. but if. as is expected. butter out ut during the winter months rses wel‘; above past years. the with- drawals from the remaining stocks will be umller than usual.
