He was nominated by Thomas KennMy, secretary-treasurer of John L. Lewis' UnitM Mine Work ers, and the election by acclama tion was unanimous.

The Germans were driven back on Sidl Rezzegh, south of bcsleg M Tobruk, the communique re ported, and other dlstpatches said that severe fighting still was In progress in that sector. The statement. issuM from British general headquarters, said that strong British armored col urns were penetrating deeply Into Libya (apparently having swept west of Tobruk) and that the Ger mans were falling back as their communications lines were en dangered. ... "The battle was JoinM In earn est Thursday afternoon," the communique said.

Forty-five tanks were knocked out in one of the first clashes as the JBritish offensive swept into Libya, the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at the front report M. The British spearheads were said to have pushed forward about 100 miles, cutting past To bruk, while the royal air force carriM out big-scale aerial bom bardment of enemy lines and bases in North Africa and Italy. The British dispatches said that the Germans with some excep tions were attempting to retire in front of the British forces. Sweeping across the desert wastes of Cyrenaica like a battle fleet across a sea, the armored forces of Lieut. Gen. C. J. E. Au chinlek many of them American-built tanks may already be within sight of Tobruk's battered defenders. The offensive into Libya Is led by "truly British troops support ed by Imperial and dominion units," a military spokesman said. The middle eastern command's latest communique placed the British forward lines at Rezzegh, only 10 miles south of the garri son town where a mlxM force of Australian and British troops have held off every axis assault through a record-breaking siege that started April 12th.
