GOERING FLIES
 TO AFRICA

MOSCOW, Nov. - Tass News Agency said tonight that it had hesn learned that Reichmarshal Herman Coering has left Ger many by air for North Africa with the apparent intention to get first hand information on the disaster that has befallen Mar shal Rommel's Africa Corps.
 German communiqucs on the fighting during the past few days have been extremely vague. Ap- parently. Rommel, has been un- able or unwilling to send enough information to Berlin to enable the German High Command to appraise the situation.
 If the report that Goering has flown to the North African front proves correct, it is probable that Hitler has sent him to make decision as to whether to try and save the remains of Rom meps forces, or abandon them, aS Eommei himself did to the Italians.
