(By Kirke L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst!

An Associated Press correspondent who has roamed thousands of dangerous miles by jeep and bomber in French Africa has decided the Allied cfiorf to oust the Axis from North Tunisia must remain weather- bounrl until late in February.

Wes Gallagher, the Associated Press man who transmitted the con- clusion, based it upon personal observation of the Tunisian front by jeep and bomber. He estimated he had bounced or flown close to 3,000 mllcs to reach and survey the Tunisian battle front.
