British Fleet Attacks Axis

LONDON--The British fleet has joined the battle in Tunisia, where Allied forces have beaten back on Axis counter assault and are pushing on toward bomb-shattered Bizerte and Tunis supported planes, an Allied communique announced tonight.

Unofficial dispatches said Axis forces were now boxed up in three steel-partitioned sectors of Tunisia while the Allies hammered them unmercifully in preparation for the supreme assault on the isolated garrisons in Bizerte and Tunis.
