AMERICANS MUST
 LEAVE EGYPT NOW
Advised By State Dept. to Get Out of That COurl-
 try at Once

Washington, June 19. - (UP) - American civilians il1 Egypt are be- ing advised by the State Depart ment to evacuate as rapidly as pos- sible, 1t was learned today.
 The advice to the Americans was conveyed through American consular officials in Egypt, who informed businessmen and other civilians still there that 1t was considered advisable for them to leave.
 There are 358 Americans in Egypt and 42 Americans in lo-Egyptian Sudan, according to the most recent available data.
 The action was in keeping with the State Departments policy ot warning Americans abroad when ever it appears likely that trans portation facilities might be dis rupted and Americans might be caught in war zones.
 Suggestion that Americans evac- uate the Far East were advanced by the department more than a year before war actually broke out. In that period hundreds of Americans were repatriated safely, but some failed to heed the advice. The same policy was followed in Europe.
 Events in Lioya were understood to have influenced the departments action regarding Egypt.
 It was believed that arrangements for some to reutrn to the United States might be made in connection with the vessels operating under safe conduct from the exchange of American and Axis diplomats and other nationals.

 Anxiety was increasing not only over the military situation in L!bya but the position in the Mediterran- can generally because of the ad- miralty's silence regarding the air. naval battle of last week end. The problem of shipping, vital to the opening of any second front. was re- garded with grave concern.

 Crisis in War
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign EditOr)

Prime Minister Winston Churchill conferred with President Roosevelt today, surrounded by top Allied military strategists, as the war reached a crucial stage on world battlefronts. The No. 1 question of the council of war of the two leaders ap- peared to be that the opening up of a second front, following the tri-power accord announced by the United States, Russia and Great Britain on June l2 regarding "the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1922"
 But there were other vital mat- ters before Churchill and Mir. Roosevelt in their second Wash ington conference since the United States entry into the war, ilclud- ing among others:
 l. The British reverses in the Near East where the eigth Imperial army, in forced withdrawal of nearly 100 miles, fell back to the Egyptian border today before the pounding drive of Col. Gen. Erwin Rommel's Axis armored forces and fears that unless the tide is turned the Axis may again lose control of the Mediterranean.
 2. Means of maintaining a flow of arms and supplies to Russia where the situation remains seri- ous, although the Red army is hold- ing the Germans to small If any gains around beseiged Sevastopol and on the Kharkov front $50 miles north, delaying Adolf Hitler's hopes of crashing through to the Caucasus
 3. Increased cooperation between British forces and United States army air corps units which have gone into action in the Balkans and Near East during the past 10 days. bombing the Italian fleet in the four day Mediterranean naval and air battle and striking at Axis objec- tives in the Black Sea area in- cluding the Rumanian oil fields.
 {. The urgent problem of keeping the Allied sea routes open, combat ting the Axis U-boats and correlat- ing United States, British and em- pire shipbuilding in an effort to keep abreast of and overcoming the vast loss of tonnage.
 5. Strategy for following up the recent United States victories over the Japanese fleet in the Coral sea, Midway and Aleutian battles.
 6. Laying the groundwork for British, American and Russian cole Liberation in a postwar system Oi security, touching perhaps upon the matter of territorial matters which Josef V. Stalin has agreed to hold in abeyance until the fighting is over.
 2. Discussion of a postwar plar upon which such American leaders as Under-S Secretary Sumner Welles and Vice President Henry Wallace have been expressing straightfor- ward views.

 Judge Conway commented in im- posing sentence thta warning had been issued for future violators of the ordinance prohibiting storage of gasoline without 8 license to expect the maximum penalty. "In addition to the violation of the ordinance people who store gasoline in this way at a time lick this must re- alize that they are not cooperating with the agencies which have been set up for the conservation of vital materials"

The stronghold of Tobruk, which the British apparently are again going to hold to the bitter end, was thus put under siege by Nazi Colonel General Erwin Romnel and the bulk of the eighth army fell back some 30 miles to their strong for tifications on the Egyptian border.
 The Axis drive to surround Tobruk was successful due to a break through somewhere east of Galnbut, which lies midway between Tobruk and Bardia, on the north Libyan coast.
 The British communique, however, said that the eighth army under Lieutenant General Neil M. Ritchie was striking from the south to hold the enemy along the coastal road east of Tobruk and that one dar- ing British counter thrust had re- suited in the smelling of the enemy airdrome at Fl Adern, south of Tobruk.
 (The German and Italian con- muniques today claimed that 1000 British soldiers were taken pris- oners in the Tobruk sector and that 10 British tanks and much war material were destroyed. The Axis troops are ''now in contact" with the Qualifications of Tcbruk, the communiques said.)
 All doubt as to whether the Brit ish would again make a strong stand at Tobruk appeared to have been removed and Ritchie's forces there appeared to be ready for another siege, despite the fact that it will

Moscow, Russian scouts were said
to have pierced German advance
lines, killed 900 and taken prisoners.
Nowhere was there any substantial
ton Of the German victory claims
south Of Lake Ladoga and the dis
position here was to interpret the
German communique as an apology
for the failure to take Stalingrad.
1zvestia reported from Stalingrad
that the Germans still were at
tacking fiercely in the workers
northwest suburbs but failed to gain
although they threw a whole diyi-
sion of infantry against one point,
trying to expand their position. The
Germans were using artillery and
following up with automatic rife
men supported by as many as A.
tanks.
Nazi Assertion Disputed.
Red Star disputed the German
assertion that Stalingrad was
modern fortress and said that its
defense was possible only because of
the firmness of the Russian troops
Actually, for strategic point of
view, Stalingrad is only one sector
OF a tremendous front on whicn
violent combat is proceeding" Red
Star said. This sector has no spe-
cial advantages from the point of
view OF defense. Battles are going
on here under field conditions or in
streets as part of the general combat
all along the wide front.
THE fate OF the whole world de-
pends on these battles"
The Russians maintained pressure
on German positions north and
south of Voronezh on the Don. about
midway between Stalingrad and
Moscow. Local attacks were launch
ed particularly during the long
dark autumn nights. A series of
German front-lone trenches was re-
ported captured north of the city.
A German unit which crossed the
Don In the Voronezh sector was
reported driven back.
