ROMMEL IN SPOT

Military observers deduced that
he had suffered heavier losses at Ell
Alamein, where the British first
routed his army, than had at first
been supposed, and the Allied ma
val and air blockade had been sue
cessfG in preventing him from get
ting fuel for his remaining tanks
trucks and planes from Europe.
Not more than $50 miles by air
and $50 by land separated the on
rushing Eighth Army and Ameri-
can. British and French forces in
Tunisia. Thus Allied fighters and
bombers overlapped in a day and
night pounding of the Afrika Korps
seeking to reach Tunisia for cli-
matte last stand in upper Tunisia.
FINAL LINE
Rommel was expected to make
stand at the Mareth line, 81 miles
from the Tripolitania border in
French Tunisia, and, before the
Germans ordered the French to
demilitarize it, formidable array

could not be determined in Allied
quarters, but it was believed at least
partially intact.
The Allies, however. could out
flank it, and advices from Tunisia
said Rommel's ultimate plan was to
retreat far to the north and en-
trench himself, with Axis forces
already in TCnisia, within a CO.
mile radius around Tunis and BIZ
zerte, based on the last jutting
shoulder of the Atlas Mountain
range.
CORRIDOR OPEN
This theory was strengthened by
the strong thrust the Axis was
making west of Sousse to keep open
and widen the escape corridor for
RomInels troops.
Dispatches from a United Press
staff correspondent at Allied North
African headquarters, said a force
of 60 to 30 tanks was engaged in
the Axis operation, which indi-

radio reports said today the main
defense of the big Axis base of
Tripoli had fallen and that ad-
vanced units of the British Eighth
Army had fought their way into
the suburbs Of the flaming city
The vital airport of Caste Benito,
10 miles south of Tripoli, almost
certainly is in British hands, ra-
diO Cairo said. If British planes
are able to operate from CaStel
Benito, they can deliver a terrific
pounding again the city and harbor
of Tripoli, which already are
smashed ana smoking from previous
raids.
Its capture by the British army
which had shattered and pursued
the Afrika Korps for almost l400
miles had been forecsat for hours.
United State Undersecretary of
War Robert P. Patterson said in
Washington yesterday afternoon
that the fall of Tripoli was then
"A matter of hours"
CITY IN FLAMES
A press report from Madrid said
advanced units of the Eighth Army
were only five miles from Tripoli
last night.
Dispatches from Algiers and from
the desert said it was a flaming
city, and even the main Axis rear
guard had evacuated it and was
we'll on its way to Tunisia.
Dispatches from Algiers, via Ma
drid, said some Axis forces had
tried to flee Tripoli in small boats
undergoing a hellish bombing and
Notwithstanding from American
and British planes. The harbor
was choked with the Wreckage of
vessels sunk in earlier raids and
the Axis was unable to get out or
in with ships.
PLANES ACTIVE
Quay sides and the Spanish mole
! in the harbor were said to be burn
ing fiercely.
Allied planes from all direc-
| tionS SWooped down continuously
on the road from Tripoli to Tu-
nisia-"the hundred miles of hell"
bleeding the remnants of the At
rica Korps with bomb and machine
gun. 1t bloSSomed with burning
vehicles, some of which bombs had
hit, and some of which the Ger
mans themselves had set on fire
when they stalled.
The TuniSian dispatches said
Marshal Erwin Rommel, command
ing the Afrika Korps, had with
drawn every one of his planes from
Tripolitania to Tunisia in the face
of overwhelming Allied aerial su-
periority.
