Despite the record loss of 55 bombers. roughly about nine percent of the giant RAP armadas -the British Air ministry indicated satisfaction over the outcome of last night's double-barreled attack on Hitler's war foundries and stressed the importance of the targets. Official accounts suggested the raid even surpassed the bombings of Lorient, St. Nazaire and Essen in February and March.

On the Tunisian front, Allied headquarters reported fighting in the green, wooded hills north of Medjez-el-Bab, than 30 miles from Tunis, where British 1st army infantry expanded a wedge into the center of the 100-mile Axis defense line and threatened once more to outflank Field, Marshal Erwin Rommel. Prisoners Taken Simultaneously, General Dwight D. Eisenhower disclosed that the U.S. 2nd Army corps captured 4,680 Axis prisoners in recent fighting, destroyed or seized 683. vehicles and 69 tanks, and captured 150 guns, American casualties were 5,372, Including 903 killed, 3,610 wounded and 859 missing.

General Eisenhower said the AEP contingent "accomplished what set out to do, drawing off the German troops in front of- the 8th army," and held approximately 000 Axis troops in the El GuetarMaknassy area at a critical juncture in the campaign. An Algiers broadcast reported "very heavy fighting" today on two roads leading to. Tunis and said the British had speeded up their advance. By continuing its thrust toward the sea below Tunis, the 1st army would cut off Rommel's Africa corps entrenched in strong mountain positions at Enfidaville, 50 miles south of the capital. A second out-flanking threat was pressed by French troops at southwest corner of the Axis corridor, in the Pont du sector, where sharp fighting continued.

Oh the 8th army front, directly before Enfidaville, only was reported as General Bernard L. Montgomery brought his 'heavy guns. Military analysts believed, however, that instead attempting frontal assault Rommel's Enfdaville ramparts, Montgomery may send his forces around to the northwest to repeat his brilliant. tactical coup in Mareth line operation last month. The German high command ported "local fighting activity several sectors of the west south fronts," while the Berlin radio acknowledged that the situation "remains critical." "Some people are already talking about second Dunkerque the Nazi broadcast but the German and Italian troops intend to fight to the end." Field dispatches said Lieutenant General K.

We have a tough fight ahead- -a long fight. "We were in the Philippine Islands, Java and New Guinea until July before we got much in the way of replacements.

July was the turning point for us. We got our first replacement planes and replacement crews. "The old 88th Reconnaissance squadron was destined for Java which fell on Feb. 28 and March 1. The 88th evacuated General MacArthur from Mindanao, and the only thing the general could talk about when I first saw him, and is still uppermost in his mind, WAS when he was going back to the Philippines.

Later our group evacuated President Quezon from the Philippines. Home in November "One group is made up of four squadrons, with a total of 48 planes. We operated from northern Australdan bases, principally Port Moresby. We were brought home the latter part of November and in December last year." Speaking of some of the activities of the 19th Group, Colonel michael said, "We cooperated with the Lexington, 'and the unit did reconnaissance work during the Battie of the Coral Sea. We tried to stop the Japs landing at Buna, and successfully stopped the Jap landing at Milne bay.

We caught and cripled them before they landed, and the ground forces defeated them after they landed, on Sept. 12, 1942. "Times were bad until our supply lines were established. We didn't evacuate the Philippine Islands, we didn't retreat' from Java--we were kicked out by first class air and naval power. Although crippled and wounded along the line, Japan is still a first class enemy today." Colonel Carmichael told of covering action at Guadalcanal, and over New Britain and the upper Solomons and at Buin on Bougainville Island where they bombed Jap positions and bases.

Speaking of the achievements and experience of the famous 19th group, Colonel Carmichael WAS modest about taking any credit for himself. saying, "we did as much as we could with the experience and the planes we had. Each and every one of us is proud of the units which are trained and are leaving the United States today without experience in conflict. This country is turning out thousands of new units we have just begun our Air "I don't think anyone can stop our efforts. anywhere along the line until we march into Berlin and Tokyo.

Possibly the boys who are in this high school today will yet fight in this war." It was at this point that the colonel warned against being optimistic about an early end of the war. At the conclusion of his talk, Colonel Carmichael answered several questions from the audience. Among the things which he explained were the operation of reconnaissance flights, the quality of the Jap flier and the Jap Zero fighter plane. He praised the .50 caliber gun as "a very good gun that will stand up against any Jap equipment." After the parade, which started at the Courthouse in Market street with C. Fred Close as marshal, the audience assembled in the school auditorium and the ceremony of advancing the colors was conducted by the American Legion, and the pledge of allegiance to the Flag was led by Mr.

"I wish to thank the many persons who "have worked so hard in this campaign," Mr. Miller "and especially the Poughkeepsie New Yorker and radio station WKIP for their publicity and for starting the "Back Your Buddy with Bonds" drive." Mr. Miller mentioned that Beacon, the of Dutchess and the city of Poughkeepsie are each buying a Flying Fortress, and that the purchases, through this drive are with Mentioning extra bond that 550 has been raised, Mr. Miller predicted that the quota will be exceeded by the end of the April drive.

"I'm not convinced that we can't. in the light of the fact that we are producing from 5,000 to 6,000 planes a month." This view was shared by Senator Johnson (D-Colo) a member of the Military Affairs committee who termed Chandler's to the Senate yesterday "magnificent." Chandler demanded that 500 fighting planes be rushed to China, that the Japanese be driven from the islands of Kiska and Attu and that General Douglas MacArthur be provided "adequate planes, men and equipment conduct an offensive against the Japanese." Today's aftermath of the speech of the chairman of the Military subcommittee which inspected Alaskan and Aleutian defenses last year brought the comment from Senator Pepper (D-Fla) that Congressional strategists "can't claim any more authority than any other swivelchair strategists." Chandler asserted that the Japanese had been permitted to construct air fields on Kiska and Attu within bombing distance of the west coast. Senator Wallgren (D- Wash). who accompanied Chandler on his Alaskan inspection, reiterated today his insistence that the Japanese had built no air bases on Kiska.
