 The German communique said that a thousand more British have been captured in mopping up op- erations at scattered outposts on the Libya desert front.
 Britons at home clamored for "an inquest" into the grave defeat of British Armies around Tobruk as Gen. Aunohinleck hastily mus tered his forces to combat the ex- pected Nazi onslaught toward Egypt.
 The British Imperial Headquart- CTS dispatch says that two man Axis columns are advancing east ward, but were turned back with in 35 miles of the Egyptian from tier after a brief fight with Brit ish mobile troops.

The W ashingtOn
 Merry Go Round
Bv DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = The other day the President held little-noticeo conference with Maritime Char man Emory Land and Rear Ad- miral S. M. Robinson, chief of the Navy Bureau of Ships. Nothing was revealed as to the purpose of this meeting. but it had the ut most significance.
 The President put the two ship building chiefs on the carpet to ascertain why there had been such a long delay in getting started on the large scale program of fast natrol and other small anti-sub- marine boats for which Congress ap- propriated big sum many months ago.
 For military reasons, details re- garding this program cannot be re- vealed. But it can be stated that only after more than 250 precious cargo vessels and tankers have been sunk off the Atlantic coast, has serious construction under this pro- gram got under way.
 During all this time, while the battle of the Atlantic was being so tragically lost, Navy brasshats were stubbornly concentrating vast resources of material and man. power on the construction of battle ships and other massive vessels which can't possibly be completed before l944. PIT boats and other deadly small craft that would have helped to avert the Atlantic dis aster were largely neglected by the battleship- minded brasshats.
 What caused the President finally to put the heat on the admirals about this matter was a secret re- port made to him by Vice Presi- dent Henry Wallace.
 As head of the Board of Econ- omic Warfare. Wallace is vitally concerned with imports and exports especially to and from Latin Am

 British dispatches today say tha' Hitler apparer tly is bent upon a full scale invasion of the Middle East, having urgently requested Pierre Laval, Vichy French leader, to cede the million tons of French merchant shipping in the Mediter- ranean.
 Other developments strongly lndl- cate that the great battles of thls summer will be fought in the an- cient lands of Egypt, Iraq, Iran and possibly Turkey
 This would be Hitler's choice of a second front. However, Sir Staf- ford Cripps declared bluntly at a London meeting observing the an- niyersary of Nazi invasion of Rus sia that Britain and the U. s. will launch a great and successful at tack on Hitler from the West when the proper time comes.
 "The attack must not fail, ne said.
