LONDON, Dec. % - P) -
A well-posted foreign SQUIRE
said today that Nazi Field Mar
shall Albert KesSelring had been
shunted from his air command
in the Mediterranean to a post
on the Don front in Russia be-
cause of the Axis failure TO halt
the Raj i'm Libya.
This source, who must remain
anonymous, said Kesselring's re-
ported removal followed COM
plants by Marshal Rommel that
lack of proper air support re-
suited in the rout of his forces
by the British Eighth Army.
KesSelring was said to have
been succeeded by Field Mar
shall Erwin Won Witzelben, who
previously had been reported
sent to North Africa to direct
Vichy forces there before the
Allied landings
Because of Italian demands
that thei r home defenses be
strengthened, this source said,
the Germans are expected TO
send back at least part of the
Italian troops on the Russian
front. weakening the Axis in the

Burma Drive
Gains Ground
WoveII's Leeions
Thrust Forward
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Sir Archibald p. Wav.
ellis legions driving back into
Japanese conquered Burma from
India were officially reported
today to have reached he vicin-
ity of Rathedaung, 25 miles
northwest of the big enemy base
at Akyab, after a 75-mile adj
vance through treacherous coast
al swamps from the Indian from
tier.
A British communique said
Gen. Wavells patrols clashed
briefly with Japanese troops
near Rathedaung on the night Of
Dec. 27, and the enemey retreat
ed after an exchange of fire.
The drive to Rathedaung,
seven miles inland from the Bay
of Bengal coast, represented an
advance of approximately 20
miles from Alethangyow, which
British troops captured a week
ago.
AT the same time, roundabout
reports from Japanese dominat-
ed Bangkok, Thailand, said other
British troops had reached the
Chindwin River Valley in Bur-
ma in a push through the Chin
Hills to the north.
There was still no indication
that Gen. Wavell had launched
major campaign to recapture
Burma, but the swift retirement
of Japanese troops at Rattle
daung suggested that the British
might be in considerable force.
On the New Guinea front,
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head
quarters announced that Allied
troops had d epen d their
wedge into japanese lines in the
Buna zone, with American and
Australian jungle fighters beat
ing off a desperate new enemy
attempt to smash out of its trap.
After crushing the Japanese
counterattack, Allied troops
lunged farther into the enemy's
intricate system of Notifications
along the dwindling beach cor
ridor.
Gen. Macarthur sa ID Jap
anese aircraft - probably SUBJ
marines - shelled Allied lines
at Buna village for five hours
yesterday, starting at midnight,
but caused no damage.
Allied airmen flying heavy B.
"a Liberator bombers were cred
tied with scoring three direct
5OO-pound bomb hits on big
japanese cruiser off Rabaul,
New Britain, leaving the war
ship in flames and probably de-
stroyed.
Other Allied filters bombed
the Gasmata airdrome in New
Britain and carried out wide
spread attacks from Timor to
Dutch New Guinea.
