The once proud axis army of
North Africa, turned almost over-

mob. fled Saturday night toward
almost certain death or capture in
the last five square miles of hills
and and beaches left to It in north-
eastern Tunisia.
Allied planes roared in ceaseless

"I congratulate you and the gal-

The Algiers radio estimated that

Planes Patrol Skies
There was no indication that the
Nazis intended to attempt a ftlll
scale pvacuation by sea. their lead-
ers probably having hesitated to set
off the wholesale massacre such a
move would invite from thc swarms
of allied fighter and bomber planes

United States armored forces cut

There was no report of axis troops
