 Rome, Jan. 23.-(UP)-Genera. headquarters of Italian armed forces admitted the fall of Tobruk, Italian Libyan base, today.
 A communique said that yesterday afternoon Australian forces pene- trated the city of Tobruk after fierce fighting.
 The defenders had "set every thing afire," the communique said The Italian cruiser San Giorgio, dis abled in Tobruk harbor in British air raid some time ago, was blown up by dynamite.
 It added thatt he British had been compeleld to admit that losses .Suf- fered by five of their divisions were particularly severe.'

Fulfillmnt of that program would leav the Italians only in the Tripol area of far western Libya, with the formidable French north African forces, eager to take a crack at them, for their next door neighbors to the west.
