BY the Associated Press.


MIDLAND, Mich, May %
Chemists of the Dow Chemical Co.
here said today that retreading OF
worn automobile tires at the rate of
million tires a month by the end
of 1912 would be possible by use Of
a new thiokol-type synthetic rub
ber developed by Dow research men.
The chemists, who refused to be
quoted directly, said actual road
tests of tires retreaded with this
substitute have reached a total OF
5000 miles without excessive wear
DR.. Willard H. Dow, president of
the Dow Chemical Co., has been in
Washington recently. it was dis
closed, negotiating with a Federal
agency for production Of about so 900
tons annually of the new product.
Since the beginning of the war
research men at the Dow plant have
been working with chemists of the
Thiokol Corp. on synthetic rubber.
They now report that the new SUBJ
Stitute. while not as good as buna,
the German product, in some tests
still can be put into production of
sufficient quantity to retread a mil
lion tires a month by the end of
the year.
A simple new method has been
discovered. the chemists reported
which requires no cementing.
For years the Dow plant has made
raw synthetic rubber for Thiokol
and this type of rubber has been
used in places where ordinary rub
ber would not stand up. A typical
use was for lining gasoline hoses.

May 29.-The Italian high COM

spring Axis offensive in Libya for
the first time today and said that
since Wednesday morning a bitter

Numerous prisoners have been

ported to have thrust directly north
in an attempt to reach Ell Adem, Is
miles south of Tobruk, but was
halted before reaching its objective
Advance elements of the other
column, the communique reported,
succeeded in avoiding contact with
British forces and penetrated to
the vicinity of Ed Duda and Sidi
Rezegh, some Is miles southeast OF
Tobruk, before being driven off.
Both Ed Duda and Sidi Rezegh
are on the main coastal highway
linking Tobruk with the Egyptian
frontier.
The Germans seemed intent on
cutting this highway, but after
being repulsed fell back to the west
to Join other Axis forces near
Knightsbridge
Nazis May Be Trapped.
The British may have enticed the
Germans into a trap deep in the
heart of their own prepared posi-
tions in the hope of smashing much
of the armored strength which Mar
shall Erwin Rommel has been as
Sembling for months. The German
columns were far from their bases
and wholly dependent on attenuated
water supplies.
Marshal ROmmel'S forces were re-
ported to have suffered heavy losses
and military circles said he could
not hope to capture Tobruk If his
armored units are badly battered.
Experts said everything depends"
on the great tank battle now raging.
British planes we're reported play
ing a major role in the fighting,
giving strong support to land forces,
intercepting enemy air attacks and
doing considerable damage to the
Axis vehicles.
IS Axis Trucks Destroyed.
One formation of Americanbuilt
Kittyhawks was credited with de-
stroying IS Axis supply trucks be-
hind combat units. In another OPP
Grafton Boston bombers, escorted by
fighters, were reported to have
spread destruction amidst a concen-
tration of TOO trucks.
The Ain Ell Gazala line consists
of a series of well-fortifled natural
positions, with the gaps between
covered by armored units. Hence
the front is fluid and the fact that
German elements may be operating
behind the most advanced British
positions-Such as the Nazi armored
unit yesterday reported within Is
miles of Tobruk-does not neces-
sarily mean a major break-through.

clared:
ut is needless for me to say at
this time that it is important to act
swiftly and severely in the arrest
and punishment of all crimes that
disturb peace and order under war

Especially when emergency cir
cumStances arise, as happened in a

people became terrorized, and it is

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 29.-Mex-
leo, avowing her belligerency, al
though her formal declaration of
war against the Axis still is in
the parliamentary machine,
moved steadily ahead today with
her military preparations.
President Manuel Avila Camacho
yesterday asked a joint meeting Of
the special session of Congress to
authorize him to declare a state Of
war Ito protect the unsullied name
Of Mexico" He also requested power
to govern by decree and . suspen-
sion Of some constitutional guar
antees.
Chamber Of Deputies committees
met early today to pass on the pro-
poSals and to report to the full
chamber this afternoon. The Senate
it to meet tomorrow, after which it
Is expected the formal declaration
Of war will be announced.
Mexico's avowal of her belliger-
ency was contained in instructions
sent to Mexican ENJOYS abroad, ad-
vising them to consider Mexico to
be in a state OF war retroactive to
May %, when the cabinet voted to
convene the special session Of Con-
gress.
Commanders of the "a military
zones met with the general staff to
formulate plans for Mexico's de-
fence, and the governors Of the %
states were called to meet the Presi-
dent tonight to discuss the impact
Of the war on the civil population.

the indirect method Of attacking
where defenses appeared weakest.
For several weeks beginning in jan
uary most of their raids were made
along the Middle Atlantic Coast
Then. presumably as counter
measures became more effective
they moved south, finally concen-
trating in the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean. 1t may be expected
that when they believe the time is
right they will strike again at the
Middle Atlantic.
Meantime they may venture to the
very mouth of the Panama Canal,
as they have already struck at the
mouth of the Mississippi and the
st. Lawrence, or shell more coastal
points as they already have shelled
the oil refinery at Aruba.
The Navy has made no report on
the effectiveness of its counter
measures since April when it was
announced that "a Axis submarines,
including about half a dozen Japa-
nese craft, had been sunk or pre-
sumed sunk.
Since then there have been nu-
merous reports. offlcially uncon-
f1rmed, of successful antisubmarine
actions. These would indicate that
in round numbers possibly so or
more U-boats have been put out OF
action.
Even if that figure is true it seems
likely that the greatest loss to the
Nazis has been not in ships but in
crews. Unof1cial reports have put
Germany's available U-boat strength
this spring and summer at 180 to
300 craft.
The experts say that If Germany
concentrates on building submers-
ibles she can produce them faster
than crews can be trained to man
them. And when submarine goes
down for good there rarely are any
survivors to report for duty on an
other vessel.
The great limitation on SUBJ
marine distance operations is not
fuel or supplies, but the endurance
of their crews, which on the average
can stand 40 to 60 days on a trip.
