LONDON, Aug. 25.-Increased air
activity over the Egyptian desert
and continued Axis efforts to get
convoys across the Mediterranean
led to renewed speculation today
over the possibility OF another Of
fensive by German Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel
The Italians have repeatedly inti-
mated that the present lull In the
desert fighting would end soon. Yes
terday the Rome radio said "a hur-
ricane OF death may be unleashed
any moment"
British military critics expressed
belief that Marshal Rommel, now
bivouacked 80 miles west of Alexan-
dria along the desert coast, had
managed to get substantial REIN
forcements. Persistent Allied bomb
ing OF his supply lines may, how
ever. prevent him from gathering
full strength for his favorite strata

the British are preparing to take
the initiative themselves.
u. S. Planes Active.
Over the week end United States
Army planes were active In the des-
ert area while Raj bombers blast
ed Tobruk, Marshal Rommels Lib
yam supply base, and destroyed one
enemy transport plane near Derna
A medium sized Axis supply ship
which had been bombed and stopped
by an Raj raider was sunk by a
British submarine.
On the British side, 1t appeared
doubtful whether Gen. Sir Harold
Alexander. the new Near East COM
manding ofncer, had had time to
make ANAL plans for an offensive,
even II adequate armored equip
ment and transport were available.
The worst of the summer weather
Is over now in the desert, how
ever. and fighting conditions should
improve steadily in the next sew
eral weeks.
There has been wide discussion
here OF the possibility that 4 new

dispositions are being taken with
that eventuality in mind.
Thus Gen. Wilson appeared slated
for another of the tough "hurry-up"
