While Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's patrols probed the Wadi El Akarit defences of Mar- shal Erwin Rommel 20 miles north of Ga-bes, the British 1st Army in northern Tunisia continued t0 sweep forward and Moroccan Goums occupied Cape Sen-rat. on the Mediterranean coast 35 miles west of Blzeric.

Scoring one of their most notable successes since they have been in Nor-lib Africa, the American forces of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, which include one armored division "and three infantry divisionsswept

Between 14 and R0 German dive- bombers, attempting to halt the waves of lnfanfrymen, were met in a furious air battle by a dozen American-pilotcd Spitfires. which shot dOWn 14 of them at the very feet oi the cheering ground troops. The situation of Gen.
