Cairo, May 29. (UP)-Strong British tank forces and air squad- rons are attacking Axis armored units near Acroma, IS miles south west of the British Libyan strong hold of Tobruk, in an effort to halt Col. Gen. Erwin Rommel's desert drive, official communiqueS reported today.
 A force of about 250 German and Italian tanks were reported thrown against the British on the blistering desert sand outside Tobruk after the Axis assault drove to the sidi Rezegh area, far inside the British defense zone.
 An RAF communique said that squadrons of bombers and fighters were in action throughout yesterday against enemy columns of tanks and motor transport between BiT Hacheim and Acroma.
 Other British planes attacked Axis airfieldS at Martuba and sup" ply columns moving up to the bat" tlefront behind Rommel'S advance
 One Junkers-87 dive-bomber and bWO llBLlUGlS WCAC o40OV ASWA 0AANA ~~ appeared that Axis air activity over the desert battlefront has been on reduced scale" since yesterday, the RAF said.
 Far west of the battle line, near the frontier of Syrenaica and wes- tern Libya, British planes bombed enemy vehicles moving eastward be- tween BenghaI and Jedabaya.
 Sicily Is Attacked
 For the fourth straight night the RAF attacked German controlled airdromes in Sicily, important base of supply for Rommel, and bombed the German air forces ferry ter- minus" at Messina, and the Siciliau harbors at Catania and Augusta.
 Ln the vicinity of Tobruk itself British fighters battled squadron of German air raiders Wednesday night and shot down two JunkerS 87's.
 The RAF also reported a dusk attack on the main landing field at Tmimi, Italo- German advance base west of Tobruk.

Spearheads of Gen. Rom mel Hurled Back; Col
 umns of Axis Smashed CONFLICT IS STILL
 RAGING FURIOUSLY British Planes Smashed Sicily Bases, Which Are Supplying Gen. ROmmeI
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign EditOr)


 Great Britain's tanks and airplanes hammered back Axis offensive spearheads in the Libyan Desert today. The new eastward thrust by forces of Colonel General Erwin Rommel in the North African desert led to sweep ing attacks and counter attacks over a wide, fluid front in the region of Ed Buday Sidi Rezegh and Fl Ademn, aU south of Tobruk. But at last re- ports the Axis columns were being heavily battered by British and American-made tanks and air- planes and appeared to have made no important dents in the Allied positions.
 The conflict still was raging, how ever, and the British tanks, sup ported by Boston and Kityhawk planes, were attacking behind the enemy advance units in an efforE to cut supply lines and break up endorsements.
 So far the new Rommel attack. which Britain's desert army had anticipated, had not developed suf- ficiently to show the Nazi objec- tive or to indicate clearly whether there was any danger of an enemy drive that might isolate the coastal port of Tobruk or push on to the Egyptian border.

Unlike the oldest veteran, Thomas

Unlike the oldest veteran, Thomas A. Corson, 100, of Salem who is con- fined to his home, Bronson's Me- morial day celebrations are three day affairs that find him speaking in a dozen schools, leading special services and taking part in day long parades to decorate cemeteries.
 It was early in 1865 when Bron- son, a Dalton, N. H., physicians son, went off to war. He was 16 but lied about his age and managed to get a uniform after stiff phy- sical examination.
 He was sent to Petersburg with the New Hampshire company, saw service during the siege and spora- die fighting between there and Appomattox.
 T remember that day as if 1t was yesterday" he said. We were all lined up and like any kid I pushed up into the front line to see what was happening"

CHINESE KEEP
 UP THEIR FIGHT
Throw Back Japanese at
 Some Points With Most |, Severe Losses
BY ROBERT F. MARTIN United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Chungking. May 29-(UP)-Chin- csc forces have re-captured ten points on the outskirts of the Hupeh city of Ichang, important Japanese base in Chinas interior, and have inflicted heavy losses on the enemy on the Chekiang and Yunnan bat tlefronts, & commurique reported tonight.
 The besieged city of Ichang, which lies 175 miles west of Japanese-held Hankow and about 300 miles east of Free China's capital at Chung king, is one of the strongest interior outposts of Japan'S attempted con- quest and would be a base for any drive upon Chungking from the east.
 The ten points recaptured by the Chinese were said to be in the east ern and northern outskirts of 1chang where the Japanese suffered heavy losses before they fell back to the city.
 Tonight's communique also re- ported that the Japanese were thrown back with the loss of thou sands of dead and wounded in ten futile attempts to storm the Che-

AMERICAN PLANES
 STILL SMASH LAPS
With Australian BOmbers They Continue to Hit at
 Jap Bases
BY BRYDON c. TAVES Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Melbourne, Australia, May 29 - (UP) American and Australian flyers downed or damaged at least Il enemy planes in raids on the Japa- pese northeastern bases of Rabaul and Lac and in beating of an en- emy raid on Port Moresby, Gen. Douglas Macarthur said today.
 In a heavy night attack on the Japanese airdrome and army camp at Rabaul, in New Britain Island, allied planes started three large fires and damaged three Japanese fighter planes which attempted to intercept them.
 Attacking airdrome installations at Lac, on the northern New Guinea coast, allied planes put their bombs in the target area and destroyed two and damaged two of six Japanese zero fighters which challenged them.
 Twenty Japanese zeros made a determined attempt to raid Port Moresby, the important allied base on the south coast of New Guinea.
 Allied fighter planes rose to drive off the raiders and in a savage dog

 HELPING ALLIES
First Will Declare War on Axis, Second Is Smash-
 ing at Submarines
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE Of Ahe Tinted Press War DeSk)

The war effort of the United Ma tions, engaged on every continent and on all the oceans, has been given a lift by Mexico's decision to declare war on the Axis and by Bra- zils warfare on enemy submarines.
 The moral effect of these two de- velopments on western hemisphere solidarity is great, and there will be important tangible benefits. Mex ico is not as well equipped as Bra gil to combat the submarine men, ace but can provide valuable bases on both the east and west coasts for American planes and ships.
 Mexico's west coast, which has been method!cally charted by Jap anese fishermen, has real strate- gic importance and Mexico'S en-

Adolf Hitler Has Taken Personal Charge of Nazis On Kharkov Front
Drive Has Not Been So Good in That Sector of
 Furious Battle

London, May 29-(UP)-Adolf Hitler has taken personal direction of the strategic operations on the Kharkov front, a German high command spokesman announced to- day over the Berlin radio, as heard by the Daily Mail here.
 we look to his genius as a stra- tegist to bring about full victory" !" the spokesman said.
 There was as yet no indication whether Hitler had assumed com- mand because of a dispute with the high command as the result of German reverses or because he hoped to grab the glory for some success.
 Last Dec. 21, Hitler assumed per- sonal command of the armed for ces and the high command at about the lowest ebb of the German cause on the Russian front.
 At that time, the Germans an- nounced, Hitler with the con- sciouness of an inner call" had de- cided ito influence to the utmost the operations and armaments of the army and, following his in- tuitionS, to reserve for himself per- sonally all essential decisions Tn the field."

CHICAGO, June 26-RHCapac

pipe line system between Baton
Rouge, La, and Greensboro, NC,
which has been in service carrying
refined petroleum products to the
East coast area for less than five
months, is being increased so per

ing on the improvement.
The announcement was made by
M. A. Hyde, petroleum engineer,
of. the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company, and H. B.
Britton, chief engineer for the Pipe
Line company.
They told the American Insti-
tute of electrical engineers that
capacity of the pipe line, the long
est in the world carrying refined
petroleum products was being in
creased by augmenting the pres
ent pumping system.
Right now" Hyde said, 'The
capacity of the Plantation Pipe
Line system is being increased so
per cent as the 80 original pump
motors are increased to 64 and
the total capacity of pumping and
auxiliary motors is boosted to ST.
900 horsepower.
1.-THE electric motors in the pres
ent stations now produce a total
of $4,000 horsepower, he added.
Construction of the pipe line was
begun last August, and the first
full length delivery through its ten
and IL inch mains was made in
February. Officials did not divulge
the pipe lines capacity but de-
clared it is doing the job Of many
sea-going tankers.
