Allies Capture Sened

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa--American forces captured Sened, only 25 miles from the sea, today in a swiftly developing drive across Tunisia and military quarters believed that Marshal Erwin Rommel faced the imminent choice of a Stalingrad or Dunkirk defeat in Africa.

As Prime Minister Churchill broadcast to the world that "decisive fighting" was on in Africa, another American column attacked Axis forces fighting a desperate rear-guard action down the Gabes road south of Sened and Allied planes pounded the Mareth Line with new fury.
