While the big bombers were ovei

sqlladrons were attacking the inva-
sion coast from Holland to Brit
tany. The air ministry, in a resume

ried out against France during May
with an average of $50 planes III
action each day.
On the Libyan desert battle front
the week-old struggle OF tanks an.
planes appeared to be entering its
second phase, with strong indica-
tions that Col. Gen. Erwin ROM
mel's Axis armored forces might
be about to launch a major smash
eastward, after being thrown back
in their first efforts to cut up thG
British defense positions and en-
circle Tobruk.
Britains eighth army OF the de5-
ert. however, swept 80 miles west
ward and captured the Axis advance
base of Segnali. At the same time
the British threw the enemy back
from his southern flank near Bill
Hacheim, 48 miles southwest of To-
bruk.
The British counter attack that
took Segnali presumably was launch
ed from around Bir Hacheim.
British military commentators
centered their attention, however
on the area north of Bir Hachelo
and 40 to so miles from Tobruk,
where it was acknowledged that
Rommel had succeeded in taking
over the area between two gaps III
the British minefield defense line,
giving him an opening about IL
miles wide from which he may
