CAIRO, Feb. 10. - Swift
columns of British motorized
troops are fighting ITS miles west
of captured Bengasi in Libya, it
was announced here today.
Speeding their attacks in what
appears to be an all out drive to
knock Italy out of the war in the
shortest possible time, the British
column appears to be headed for
Tripoli, last Italian base in Libya.
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, COM
handing the victorious British
Army of the Nile, has refused to
say if he would launch an attack
against Tripoli, but reports of
fighting so far west of Bengasi in
dictate Tripoli will be the army's
next goal.
One column of British troops is
reported to have knitted it's way to
the shores of the Red Sea in
Eritrea to act as one side of a
giant pincers cutting off all Italian
troops in the country.
Another army in Ethiopia has
reported steady gains, but no i'm
portant fighting has developed
there.

FIXING AUTOMOBILES
A HOBBY FOR YOUTH
WITH SIGHTLESS EYES
INV Associated Press:

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Feb.
10.-John Flynn, blind 2l-year-
old Rutgers University junior,
looks" with his hands when he
goes to work on automobiles that
won't tick.
In the last seven years he's put
number of cars back on the
road, and now he repairs fellow
students jalopies as his major
pastime
Most people can't visualize a
blind person getting greasy or
wearing overalls and actually us
ing them, says Flynn. Il use
one hand as my eyes and work
with the other. If most people,
blind or otherwise. would realize
that blind fellow can success
fully engage in physical activi-
ties other than basket-weaving.
the blind would be more happy.
In 1888 he fixed up trip from
his home in Newark to the Chi
cago Worlds fair without mishap.
When he got home he took the
machine all apart, just for prac-
tice. then reassembled it.
His ability received a real test
when the car in which he was
riding to New Brunswick for a
final examination broke down.
He decided ii was a bad fuel
pump. obtained new one, got
out on the road and installed it,
and then rode on in time for the
exam.
