ALLIES ON STRAIGHTER LINE
ATTEMPTED INFILTRATION IN TUNISIA FAILS INTENSE AIR ACTIVITY TUNIS HEAVILY BOMBED LONDON, Dec. 13 Further enemy attempts to infiltrate into the Allied positions in the vicinity o( Medjez-el-Bah, in Tunisia, have been repulsed. Apart from these actions the only ground activity today has been patrolling. In the air there has been intense activity. Tunis received the most damaging bomber raid to date and was left under a cloud of smoke and dust. An enemy supply ship in the harbour was hit. After an earlier Axis advance of 20 miles, the Allies between Teburba and Mateur are fighting on a shorter and straighter line than the former 40-mile horseshoe formation, says the British United Press correspondent in North Africa. The straightened line extends 25 miles.
