United Press STAG Correspondent

CAIRO, June Col. Gen. Erwin
Rommel today succeeded in extri-
eating the badly-battered spear
head of his Axis tank forces from
a British trap in the Libyan desert
south of Ell Gazala after the cap
ture of his second in command by
the British.
Rommel withdrew his German
italian armored units westward,
back from Britain's coastal strong
hold of Tobruk which had been his
objective. after taking a heavy
|battering from British guns and
bombing planes which left the
desert wastes strewn with wrecked
and crippled tanks.
SECOND IN COMMAND

Iters announced that Gen Ludwig

command to Romrnel, was a pris-
|oner after the shooting down OF

he was surveying the battlefront.

NEW DRIVE PLANNED?
1t appeared that Rommel, pull
ing back his advance forces to es-
cape their humiliation behind the
British line southwest of Tobruk,
had succeeded in getting most OF
his tanks and arnored cars back
to the irregular line.
He was also thought to be pre-.

Rommefs extrication Of his
panzer forces through the two gaps
in the British forward positions
meant he had failed in his efforts
to smash through to the British
rear areas and imperil the defense
system of Lieut.. Gen. Neil M
Ritchie's eighth imperial army, il
was said.
BY making his way back through
the gaps, RQmmel escaped what
might have been a major defeat
that would have wrecked his
chances of driving eastward to.

Penalty viii Follow
One State imposed in
Baseball Pool Trial

Fred w. Frahm, former Detroit
police superintendent, today was
sentenced by Federal Judge Ernest
A. o'Brien to two years in a gov
eminent penitentiary at the con-
clusion of his state prison term.
In addition, the court decreed a
fine of 5000 and costs as the
penalty for Frahm's evasion of in
come taxes here in 1868.
OFF TO JACKSON
Shortly after the federal court
sentence Frahm was taken TO
Jackson TO begin a four TO five
year state term for graft in the
so-called baseball pool conspiracy.
Judge O'Brien, passing sentence
without comment. actually i'm
posed a 10-year term on a four
count federal indictment.
The court ruled, however, that
Frahm could serve a four-year
term on one count simultaneously
with his state punishment. Two
year concurrent penalties on the
other three counts will be en-
forced at the conclusion of the
Jackson term.
OBSERVERS SURPRISED
The severity of the sentence
came as a surprise to court OBJ
servers.
A few weeks ago Frahm paid
the government $4,000 to settle
the income tax penalties against
him. The grand jury had fixed
Frahm's evasions at sS,4S5. Fines
and penalties brought this figure
TO above $4,000.
Only at the moment of the pro-
nouncement Of sentence did
Frahm finch. He closed his eyes
and turned from the bench with
lips moving.

MOSTLY LANDLORDS
Some in line were tenants pro-

They argued that improvements

Patrick V. Mcnamara. federal
rent director for the area, ex.
planned to each that rents must
not now be raised-that in about
a week forms will be available to
make formal application for ap-
proval of increases by the rent
control board.
The rush at the rent offices
came despite pleas by McNamars
that all complaints should be made
by mail to the offices at 764 Pc

MELBOURNE. Australia. June
Three japanese midget sub
marines were believed at the
bottom of Sydney Harbor today
after an abortive raid in when

port channel in sight Of ferryboat
passengers. h
Naval quarters said that the
submarines, apparently launched
and abandoned BY 4 mother ship
close to the Australian coast, had
almost certainly been sunk and
that attempts would be made to
raise them.
BELIEVED DESTROYED
Gen. Douglas Macarthur sn-
nounced in a special communiqus
that three of the midget two-man
undersea craft were believed d.
stroyed, one by gun IRE and two
by depth charges, in completely
unsuccessful raid, the, FIRST On an
Australian port.
The Japanese succeeded only in
damaging one small harbor craft

Arthur said, in a raid so reckless
1t smacked OF suicide.
Following a conference between
Macarthur and Prime Minister

There was no suggestion Of
negligence in regard to the d.

STRONGLY DEFENDED
Some experts here believed the

a strongly defended point. Heavy
