 Here are some of the lessons Arnold said had been learned from the war:
 The single?engined fighter, still is superior over other types but soon must push its ceiling above 4O,0O0 feet or even 60,O00 feet.
 Fighters can prevent the loss of & war but heavy bombers are re. qulred to win 1t.
 Dive bombors can achieve "devas- tating results" but must expect to suf1er heavy losses. The American A-24 dive bomber will outperforpn those of any foreign nation, he said.
 Land and sea operations cannot succeed when the enemy has control of the air.

New Zealand Forces
 Pushing Westward
econtlnusd from Page D

The importance of the link to To- br1lk, in addition to splitting the Axis forces, was that 1t may make possible the supplying of the Britt ish army by sea through the well- equipped base built in Tohrlk ovax the past eight months,
 There was some indication that the battering Axis attacks meant Rommel is preparing to abandon the area east of the Rezegh- -Tobruk line in an effort to join his forces to the west and establish new defense positions.
 The Axis attacks were being di- rected at the line from both sides, 1t was believed, lrcluddng forayg by tho seven Italian divisions plus Nazl units which have held the siege lines around Tobruk since April i2,
 Very violent fighting was in pro- greSS northeast of ReZegh in the dsrestion of Fl Adem, the principal forwa. l Nazi base in the desert area. To the east there was much fighting around Solum and Bardia, Contrary to previous British claims, 1t was said today that the British have not captured Bardia proper but have placed siege lines arc"rd both Bardla and Solunl, conta .g the Axis garrisons. Both Bal lN,la and Solum were under heavy artil- lery bombardment.
 Raiders Lost Heavily
 The whereabouts of the Axis ar- mored force which burst across the Egyptian frontier around Sidi Omar on Q harasSing expedition was liil- clear. But 1t. appeared to have gone back Into Libya after losing about third Of its strength. One report was that 1t had split up into smaller columns which were carry ing out individual hit.and.run raids on British desert forces. Indian troops were said to be attacking sidi Omar.
 The Germans were having great difnculties in maintaining supplies to their easternmoSt units, They were having almost as much trouh.e getting gasoline, water, ammunition and food from their rear bases be- cause of the effective bolnbardment of all routes by the Royal Air Force.
 In the Solum area the Germans were concentrating on building their defenses in hope of turning the pocket into another Tobruk. But 1t was doubted such an effort would succeed because the British control the sea approaches.
 It was belleVeo tnat another week of heavy lighting or more lies ahead of the British before the desert bat- tle can be won and there was much evidence that large new British forces were being prepared to launch Q killing blow at the Axis Africa corps.

af taeao columns, said tho British suFnmand, was engaged by British sank forces backed up by planes and scattered after . two hour battle I2 ailea scaith of 0ambut.
 Text Of Communlque
 Following Is the text of the head- Wunrters ccmmunique:
 'eoutheast of Tobruk British and Naw Zealand forces which yesterday made direct contact, are forging their way westward in the face of determined opposition. At the same lime, east of their point of junc- tlon, enemy attachments still in considerable strength are being enc ragged.
 Meanwhile the enemy ralding column (which invaded Egypt sweiled by German elements which had joined 1t from defensive posi- elons between Sldi Omar and Hal- saya started yesterday morning to move westward with the evident ir- tention of trying to rejoin the main Axs forces engaged in battle west of @idi Rezegh.
 'This westward movement is be- ing conducted by two main bodies. Shortly after lnid-day yesterday the northern body, which included q number of German tanks, was ef- fectively engaged 12 miles south of 0ambut by our bombing planes. It subsequently, was heavily attacked by British armored forces which had been despatched to intercept It's rec turn.
 Enemy Is Scattered
 "After two hours of intensive fighting the enemy was reported to have scattered and large number of vehicles were observed moving northwest towards Gambut. Over the whole battle area our air forces successfully continued intensive ac. tivlties In support of our ground troops.
 "North and northwest of M Adem large concentrations of enemy mechanical transport vehicles were attacked and machine gunned with results which were observed to be highly satisfactory"
 Ono Line Thlnly Held
 It was admitted that the Tobruk. Resegh line was thinly held and that temporary gaps may be blasted an 1t by the hard-flghting Axis armored corps but it appeared that Britain's fighters were slowly galn- ing acendency after nearly 10 days of strenuous combat.

Great Ce||ist to Appear in
Concert Next Thursday

Completing his transcontinental
concert tour, Gregor Piatigorsky,
noted Russian 'cellist will be heard
in Ell Centre in one of his inimitable
concert recitals on March 10, Thurs
day. at 8:15 pm. in the high school
auditorium under the auspices of
the Imperial Valley Music Teachers
association
Termed thegreatest living 'cellist,
Piatigorsky has done more, perhaps,
than any one artists of this genera
ton to bring the cello into it's
proper place as solo instrument
The cello repertory is limited and
only in the hands of a master can
the instrument be made as SEN
sitive and expressive as the more
familiar violin. Piatigorsky not
only has the technical equipment
but also the soul, the temperament
and the platform personality to
make himself and his instrument
beloved by concert goers as those
who heard him u the valley some
years ago can testify.
Thrilling Career
This -foot-three-i inch artist has
had a life packed with thrills. ad-
venture, privations and eventual
success. Born in Russian, at the
age of Is he was appointed first
cellist of the Imperial Opera at
Moscow. The revolution cut off
his career and for years he and his
family were near starvation. In
1921 he fled Russia, arriving IN
Warsaw, Poland, penniless. In the
fall of 1929 he made his first AM
erican tour and since that time
he has spent half of each year in
this country, having for 10 sea-
sons played a coast to coast tour
to sold out houses. He is married
to the former Jacqueline de Roth
schild of Paris, daughter of the
Baron Edouard de Rothschild, and
they have two children.
When Piatigorsky plays in Ell Cen
tro, his audience will have a chance
to hear one of the most famous.
in fact, said to be the finest, cello
in existence.
Famous Cello
In the spring of 1884 Piatigorsky
was in London and complained
to friend of his, Ernest B. Dane.
then treasurer of the Boston SYM
phony orchestra, that his cello was
sick" that it no longer sang the
way it used to. The next day Dane
invited Piatigorsky to look over the
great collection Of rare instruments
in the possession of w. E. Hill and
Son, among which was Monta-
gnanna cello, made in 1889 and val
ued conservatively at $4,000. This
cello was unique in that it was
lustrous golden brown which var
les from the usual dark red of
Montagnanna. Piatigorsky was still
playing this rare instrument, OBJ
vious to everything when Mr.. Dane
had to leave TO catch the boat
train for America. Before going
