worthy efforts, the American press
would say So"

Axis Tank Forces.
Strike Back al
British in Libya
10-MiIe Penetration Of
Lines in AsheiIo Area
Reported by Cairo
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, Jan. 22.-Lash-
ing out from the El Agheila area
with most Of the tanks still re-
naming to him, the Axis COM
mander, Gen. Erwin Rommel, has
struck about 10 miles into Brit
ish imperial positions, the Near
East command acknowledged
today, but an informed source
held that this was probably little
more than a feeler stroke.
Besides testing the strength Of
the advanced columns facing him in
the last Axis foothold in Cirenaica,
it was said, Gen. Rommel might
also have been seeking to relieve the
pressure on his Ell Agheila positions
and thus gain time to consolidate
them for a real stand.
The latest, though unofficial, re-
ports from the Libyan desert front
said the day-long Axis thrust was
turned back last night and it was
believed that Gen. Rommel found
sitter opposition from the imperial
forward than he had expected.
Doubts Axis Takes Initiative.
The commentator said he would
be most surprised" If Gen. Rom
mel's move meant the Germans and
their Italian comrades had taken
the initiative or that real coun-
terofensive had started.
The British communiuue referred
to the counterthrust yesterday as q
reconnaissance in force" with
three strong Axis columns favored
by low visibility in their drive 10
miles east. of the line running south
from Mersa Brega.
CT was a Reconnaissance in
force" by the German-reinforced3
Axis armies which last April
turned the first British invasion
OF Libya into a retreat from Ell
Agheila. Ell Agheila, Just short
OF Tripolitania, or Western Libya,
was the deepest point Of the first
British drive)
Although the commentator said
there was no indication that Gen.
Rommel had attempted a real
counteroffensive with reinforce
ments. he acknowledged that the
chief concern of the Near East
r. A. F. in recent days had been to
block eastward movement Of sup
plies through Tripolitania.
Penetration Minimized.
Reminded pointedly that the
British minimized the first stages of
the withdrawal last April from
Agedabia and Bengasi, the in
formant rejoined that Gen. Rommel
now was on the defensive and that
any commander in a like position
would periodically reconnoiter in
force to test opposing dispositions.
He said Mersa Brega was part of
the Ell Agheila position and that
penetration of 10 miles was not
particularly significant in such vast
territory. -. -.c .
He emphasized that prevailing
weather conditions prevented aerial
reconnaissance and that only light
ground forces had been In contact
lately with Gen. Rommels army.
These. according to G. H. O., fell
back successfully, inflicting casualties
as they retired.

III Housed, III Clad Speech
Judged Roosevet's S Best
Questionnoires to Experts on Orotory
Reveal Il Is Used as Model

public speaking. The method OF
using recordings Is as follows:
/. When the speech classes as
semble, the recording Of this one
speech Is played over several times
while the students mentally try to
analyze how the speaker produced
his effects.
Repeat Sentences.
2. When the record Is played for
two or three consecutive sentences,
the needle Of the phonograph is
lifted, and each Of the students,
with his voice. while the machine is
silent, initiates the sentences as
closely as possible. The needle Is
put back and the same procedure is
continued with the next few SEN
tences, and so on to the end Of the
record.
3. Finally, the photograph Is
stopped entirely and one of the
students, who is called upon by the
instructor, tries to apply that which
he has learned, by delivering the
entire speech with as close imitation
OF the spoken record as his memory
permits.
The same general plan is followed
in studying the recording for the
elements Of pause, pitch, infection.
volume, time and quality. 1t is said
that the repeated use of this one
recording of Roosevelt's second in
augural with reference to each
speech element in turn is giving
the students a comprehensive un-
derstanding Of all the laws OF speech
and is developing forceful and ef-
fective speakers among the young
students at Robeson.
The president Of the Cleveland
School Of Oratory, DR.. Herbert L.
Rochester, classes Mr.. Roosevelt's
second inaugural with 20 enduring
specimens Of eloquence," among
which he includes Demosthenes' "On
the Crown" Cicero's Il Am a Citi-
zen OF Rome" Patrick Henry's I'VE,
the People, or We, the States"
Burke's Cancellation With Amer
ica," Bryan's Gross of Gold" Inger-
soils Vision Of War;" Clarence
Darrow's plea to the Jury in the
Trial of William Haywood" and
other celebrated speeches. He in
cludes no other inaugural address
except Lincoln's second inaugural.
Third Inaugural Not Selected.
Choices among members of Con-
gress and the editors inclined to-
ward Mr.. Roosevelt's various ad-
dresses during the present crisis.
Several selected the first inaugural
address, Of March 4, 1888, but, singu-
Iarly, none selected the third In
augural, delivered one year ago.
OF the second inaugural the edi-
tor of the Fort Wayne Journal
Gazette said that ut may be ranked
with Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad-
dress" Websters "Reply to Hayne,"
Bryan's Gross of Gold" speech, and
Woodrow wilson's Call for a Dec
laration Of War Against the Ger
man Government"
President Roosevelt delivered his
second inaugural address at noon
on January 20, 1887, standing, ac-
cording to authorities, exactly over
the spot on which Lincoln stood as
he delivered his classic second in
augural.
A cold penetrating rain, mixed
with sleet, beat in Mr.. Roosevelt's
face and on his manuscript as he
marched through the stately elo-
quence Of his masterpiece. He de-
parted in several places from the
wording Of the prepared address
to its improvement.
Can President Roosevelt excel his
classic address Of January 20, 1887,
or will it remain his supreme ora
torical achievement?

Philippine theater: te se.,
From his field headquarters in
the Philippines, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur today announced the
award of the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross to Maj. Thomas j. H.
CTrap) Trapnell, cavalry, for ex-
traordinary heroism IN action.
Maj. Trapnell, who is a former
football hero of the United States
Military Academy, matched his
brilliant gridiron career with out
standing exploits on the battle
field.
The action for which Mai.
Trapnen was decorated took place
at Rosario in La Union Province
on December %, 194l, while his
cavalry unit was engaged in rear
guard operations. During con-
centrated enemy fire from tanks
and infantry, Maj. Trapnell
remained between the hostile
force and his own troops and set
fire to a truck on a bridge. He
waited under fire until the bridge
was In flames before leaving the
scene in a scout car. He then re-
tired slowly with the rear ele-
ments Of his organization, picked
up wounded soldiers and rallied
his men.
With complete disregard of his
personal safety, Maj. Trapnell
delayed the hostile advance and
set an inspiring example to his
entire regiment.
MAJ. Trapnell, who is 80 years
old, was born in Yonkers, N. Y.
He was appointed to the United
States Military Academy from
New Jersey, and was graduated
in 1927. His athletic career, begun
so auspiciously at West Point,
continued after graduation. He
has been active in a number Of
sports and is one of the Army's
outstanding polo players.

President Nominates
Robert H. 0'Brien
For 5. E. {. Post
New Appointee Succeeds
Eieher; HeoIy Is Induced
To Withdraw Resignation

President Roosevelt today
nominated Robert H. O'Brien,
associate director of the Public
Utilities Division of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission,
to be an s. E. c. commissioner.
At the same time, the White House
announced that Robert E. Healy has
withdrawn his resignation from the
commission at the request of the
President. Mr.. O'Brien will succeed
Edward c. Eicher, who was recently
appointed chief justice of District
Court.
The President also sent two other
nominations to the Senate today,
calling for promotion of Col. Phillip
r. Faymonville and of Col. Arthur
r. Wilson to be brigadier generals.
Col. Faymonville is now on assign
ment as secretary of the American
supply mission in Russia and it is
expected he will remain at that post
after assuming his new rank.
Closely related to this promotion
of Col. Faymonville and his mission
in Russia, the White House indi-
Gated today, is the question of selec-
tion OF a new Ambassador to the
Soviet government.
Maj. Gen. James H. Burns, deputy
1ease-lend administrator. has been
mentioned for that post but a White
House spokesman indicated that in
volvement of this country in war
December 7 has changed this plan.
1t was repeated, however, that
the ambassadorship probably will
go to some one qualified for war
time service, where emphasis is to
lie on supply problems and military
knowledge. This indication ap-
parently rules out the possibility
that Joseph E. Davies, who once
served in Moscow, might be reap
pointed to that post. Mr.. Davies
reappointment has been rumored.
