By DARRELL BERIGAN

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 9. UP
Non essential civilians were leav-
ing Burmas capital today because
Of heavy Japanese air raids but
the japanese were still stalled 100

The evacuation was urged by
Gov Hugh Dorm&n Smith Wh2
said RanGoon was Vulnerable to

defense put up by the AVG CAm-
crican volunteer group. the RAF

The Japanese were stalled on the
east side of the SalWeen river for
the ninth day, possibly still hoping
to knock out Burma'S air defenSeS
before attempting a major drive
to the swiftly flowing stream and
strike at the Burma road.
Their last attempts to infllct a

suited in Intellectual bombing of an
airdrcme north cf Rangoon. In 4
day raid Sunday fighter planes
fled before Australian flierS. They
lost two to four planeS-thc de-
tenders none.
Previously their efforts to blast
the American and British airmch
from the skies ended in dismal de-
feat, at staggering losses OF 20
planes for one.
Officials disclosed that Gen. Sir
Archibald Waycll, allied supreme
commander in the southwest Pa
cific, had visited the Burma front
lines within the past several days
and had expressed satisfaction with
the situation. They also disclosed

Wing Of 9Th Army
By-Passes Bengasi
To Chase Romme|
Unit Might Cut OFF
Lund Escape Of Men
Left in Port
BY the Associated PresS.

CAIRO, Nov. 19-Vanguards of
Britain's 9th Army have reached
point about so miles south of
Bengasi and Is miles from the East
ern shore of the Gulf of Sirte, over
looking the main coastal road be-
tween Bengasi and Agedabia, it was
disclosed today.
These forces apparently were the
southern wing of the British pur-
suers of Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's broken Axis army. The COM
munique said they had made con-
tact with the enemy south of
Bengasi yesterday, while Allied
bombers, including heavy United
States planes, pounded anew at that
Libyan port.
The advance placed the British
in the region of Antelat, close to
the high-water mark of the first
westward drive across Libya, and
indicated that at least part of the
9th Army had by-passed Bengasi
and was threatening the only ave-
nue. of land escape for any holdout
garrison Marshal Rommel might
leave in the port.
Demolitions Indicated.
When heavy United States bomb
ers raided Bengasi at dusk yester-
day several fires were seen in the
target area suggesting that the Axis
already was beginning demolitions
in the last good harbor left to it
east of Tripoli.
AT the harbor mouth two burning
wrecks lay apparently abandoned.
They looked to the American flyers
as If Marshal Rommel might be
trying to block the channel
Other Allied air operations in
cluded a successful attack on the
airdrome at Tunis where fires and
explosions were observed among
hangers and runways.
The weight of the main Allied air
effort, however, was against enemy
transport planes flying south from
Bengasi toward the Ell Agheila re-
gion where Marshal Rommel may
try to make stand. The area COM
mands a coastal bottleneck between
the Gulf of Sirte and salt marshes
400 miles east of Tripoli.
Axis Planes Felled,
Seven JU-2 transport planes were
shot down by Allied fighters, three
others were destroyed on the ground
and at least another 20 transport
type planes were damaged on the
ground.
Allied fighters also bounded road

The line will expand It's facilities
to the limit Wednesday, where ODT
regulations allow and officials be-
lieve they will be able to handle
the crowds. ..--~.. .-
The Chesapeake Il Ohio Railroad
also expected heavy short haul traf-
fic, but did not express any fears
about being unable to handle the
volume.
The Atlantic Coast Lines said "all
military and civilian travel" on its
lines can be taken care Of" The
Southern Railway is not expecting
unusual" holiday traffic, since the
principal cities it serves are more
than one-day trip from here.
Reservations Indicate Increase.
The Washington Office of the New
York Central said reservations al
ready indicate an increase which
will strain facilities at New York
points connecting with Washington
trains.
Mr.. Eastman asked that all citi-
zens consider. before boarding bus
or train, whether the trip is abso-
lutely necessary.
Il urge you most earnestly to ask
yourself, before you purchase a
travel ticket or board a bus or train,
If you really need to make that
trip" Mr.. Eastman said. If you
cannot answer that question in the
Affirmative, please do not CO."
There is great shortage in
travel facilities, and those we have
are vitality needed for our military
forces and war business" he added

transport around the bend OF the
Gulf of Sirte, causing considerable

only feeble resistance.
Dozen Axis Planes Destroyed.
Aerial operations over Libya, an
other raid on the airdrome of Tunis
in cooperation with the eastbound
Allied army of 1t. Gen. K. A. N
Anderson and destruction of Ger
man bomber over Sicily accounted
for a dozen Axis planes yesterday
the communique said. Allied losses
we're six.
(Reuters said a Morocco radio
broadcast reported the arrival of
Allied supply ships at Tobruk.
These presumably were from
Egypt and indicated the British
quickly were putting the recap
