In these first days of 1943

World News Today brought to you by Continental Radio and Television Corporation, makers of Admiral Radio, America's Smart Set. By shortwave broadcast direct from important overseas capitals, as well as the leading news centers of our own country, CBS correspondents are waiting to bring you a complete report from the world's political and battlefronts.

But first, here's John Daly with a summary of headline news as received in New York. In these first days of 1943, we of the United Nations have set our feet firmly on the long road to victory. On the military fronts we are on the offensive. It may be a long hard pull but we can face the future with confidence. Even in Tunisia, in French North Africa, the

military situation looks bright, but at the same time a political situation has developed which introduces a discordant note into the unity so necessary to our military operations. For the latest developments in French North Africa, Admiral Radio takes you now to CBS Algiers, Charles Cullingwood reporting.

This is Charles Cullingwood, and the ride-to-head brothers in North Africa. This is what we call the most terrific air battles of the D'Aceleson and the North African South. When the day was over, the four-six-twenty-eight axis planes were destroyed in the whole world, The circle floor of damage to the seven allied planes knocked down.

This is the way it happens. Strong force of flying forces is about to bomb all of these. On the way back the forces will land into the fourth of about 50 German and Italian fighters lying in base for him over the senior hall.

We regret that interference makes Mr. Collingwood's report from Algiers unlistenable. He was reviewing the story of recent Allied air activity in which Allied bomber squadrons supported by P-38s and P-40s, our best fighter planes, have been smashing at all of the Axis supply ports on the eastern Tunisian coast.
