Two Attacking
Columns Drive

indications Reflect
Possibility Rommel
Moy Yield TripoIi
BY The Associated Press

CAIRO, Jan. l9-The British
Eighth Army spurted into the
home stretch of its drive across
Libya today with an advance
which carried one of two attack
ing columns to within so miles
or less of Tripoli-closer than
Marshal Rommel came to Alex
andria last summer.
With Gen. Sir Bernard l..
Montgomery pressing home the
attack, the Axis had only a mat
ter of hours in which to check
the onslaught for an attempted
stand, or to quit the city in a
withdrawal toward the Tunisian
border 100 miles to the West.
Montgomery's most advanced
column was operating inland,
and a communique said it had
driven Axis forces from Benz
Ulid and was in contact with the
enemy toward Ia. huna, which is
only 40 miles southeast of Trip
oil. Tarhuna is some 60 miles
beyond Benz Ulid where the Ak
is suffered heavily in a tank
battle with the British.
FOLLOW COAST
The second British column
sped along the coastal road,
passing through Misurata and
Garibaldi and reaching the Iii
ten area 80 miles tast of Tripoli,
the last stronghold of Premier
Mussolini's one-time African
empire.
Observers said the British
strategy might be to bring the
columns together for a converg-
ing attack on Tripoli, or to at
tack the city wit hthe coastal
column and bypass it to the
South with the inland column.
There were indications that
Rommel had decided, or had
been ordered, to yield Tripoli
and attempt to get as many Of
his men as possible into Tunisia
to join Gen. Walther Nehring in
a stand against Allied assault
from both sides.
1t was noted that the Eighth
Army swept unchecked through
the fertile gren oasis of Misurati
which had been described as the
strongest potential defense point
between Ell Agheila and Tripoli.
GREATER ADVANCE
Observers said there was rea-
son to believe that Montgom-
ery's army had pushed steadily
on beyond the positions reported
in the communique, which
would cover gains through yes
terday.
(The Italian communique re-
ported that Tripoli itself was un-

the National Hockey League.
Taking advantage OF the Detroit
Red Wings weakened defense,
Carr smashed the puck into the
net in a perfect picture play as
the second hand on the clock
swung into its final round. His
goal gave the Leafs a two-all tie
with the Red Wings, who had scor-
ed early in the first period and
had fought bitter battle 10 pro
tect their scant lead. The draw
was the second between the two
teams this season. Don Webster
made his debut in the National
Hockey League by scoring the
Leafs first goal.
In the only other game last
night, the Chicago Black Hawks
captured their second victory Of
the season by topping the Boston
Bruins 6 TO {. The Bruins made
a desperate effort in the final chap
ter to even the count, but Clint
Smith put the game on ice for Chi

marker of the evening in the clos
