CAIRO, June 5-BrltlSh lmpeflai Armored Forces are reported to nave routed Axis soldiers from thelr deS- ert stronghold in a fierce engage ment. while Free French Allies heid fast against the efforts Of Fleld Marshal Erwin Rommel to selze the key position of Bir Hacham.
 The Middle East Commanos 5 communique today says that British forces in an attack on June 2 drove the enemy out of Tamar, 2l miles southwest of Tobruk and six miles west of Knightsbridge, the center around which most of the fighting is occurring in this latest Libyan campaign.
 Rommel apparently desires to capture Bir Hachem at the south ern end of the severed line which once extended to Ain Fl Gazala, in order to make it impossible for the British to counter-attack that tiny oasis about 50 miles southwest of Tobruk.

WASHINGTON-The entire Brit ish Empire was set just a bit agog last winter when the Australian Minister in Washington announced that Justice Felix Frankfurter had advised him to take a post in the British cabinet. The Australian Government was especially agog and it's prime minister said so pub licly.
 To a lot of other people also it seemed queer that a justice Of the U. s. Supreme Court should be dipping his fingers into vital af- fairs of the British Empire.
 But to those behind-the-scenes m Washington this was no surprise at all. For now, as the Supreme Court winds up it's current term it is a fact that second only to the President himself, Justice Feiix Frankfurter has more to do with RllQlIl2 OuI oCob1ilOo VI "NA anyone in Washington.
 He does tkis through having put his own men in three key cabinet posts; through being on intimate terms with the British Ambassa- dor Lord Halifax and the Chinese Foreign Minister T. V. Soong; and through having one of his old stu dents, Dean Acheson, sit at the right hand of Secretary of State Hull.
 Almost no move of major inn portance is made these days without Frankfurter having his finger in it. If the President is sending a mission to India to help the Brit ish settle their independence prob lems, Justice Frankfurter sits in on discussions. If an investigation is to be made of Pearl Harbor, Frank furter recommends his friend Jus
