Good evening, everyone. My wire is open for any late word Washington may have on the latest Nazi claim. Well, in radio claims that you bought Sankar Aircraft Carrier Ranger. Now the word has come out of Washington regarding it up to half a minute ago.

It's 10 miles southwest of Pont du Fauce. That's Rommel's last defense line outside Tunis. Now to propaganda we'll try hard now to call it Von Arnim's battle in order to persuade us to forget this Rommel's defeat.

But I'll keep reminding you. The handwriting is of a rocky wall outside Tunis tonight. The final breakthrough by General Alexander's army may come at any time. He's cracking Ramos' most powerful line only a few miles outside units.

One surprise report from Tunisia concerned Lieutenant General Leslie McNair, one of our most brilliant commanders, in charge of all ground operations and stationed in Washington. He was on inspection in Tunisia and wound at Friday. His injury
