Rommel Not Yet Halted By Allied Hammering (Continued from page 1.) relieve its position, in north Africa. I'ierre Laval, Adolf Hitler's pup pet in Vichy, apparently figured in whatever scheme was hatching In the axis nest. He sat in on the week end con ference of high German and Ital ian officials who were called to Hitler's headquarters to discuss what axis broadcasts called "ques tions of common strategy." Laval probably was asked what role France would play In that strategy and likely was given his orders. Observers coupled reports that the axis was prepared to use in north Africa even the weapons and men needed on the Russian front with the statement of an al lied spokesman in Algiers that "we have a lot of long-hard fight ing ahead of us." While the axis was believed to be getting out of Libya, Informed opinion in London was that Rom mel would use every conceivable means of rearguard and delaying action In order to gain as much time as possible for consolidation of the position at Tunis and Blzerte.

An air force spokesman said last night, how ever, that a preliminary check indicated the number would run to more than 40 planes. Flying southward over Paris, where many of the American air men had their first glimpse of the Eifel tower, the four-motored bombers soon were beyond range of their protecting fighters. Then large formations of German Focke-Wulf 190's dived to the at tack. "We would see their vapor trails long before the planes were visible, so we had plenty of notice they were coming," one pilot said. The results of the great raid on the enemy aircraft park and airdrome were called "satisfact ory." Pilots and gunners were grimly enthusiastic over the air fighting, which did not end until the bomber formation was picked up by an ailieu ngnier kmiu near the channel on the return trip.
