PHONE 3703 By the Associated Press Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 6. (AP) Axis war prisoners are being rounded up in Libya faster than they can be counted and now exceed 7,500, the British declar ed today as their forces contin ued efforts to whittle down Ger man and Italian mechanized for mations in a welter of minor actions. British sources said the full initiative apparently lies now with the Imperial armies In north Africa but acknowledged that operations still were re stricted to strong patrols and that there has been no new ma jor tank fighting. However, a resumption of large-scale fighting was expected in British quarters as the weath er improves. The British were reported in a better position for it than in the earlier stages of the battle. The British claim a total of 223 axis planes have been des troyed since the Libyan offensive started Nov. 18, including at least 54 Ju-87's Germany's fav orite dive-bomber. Unofficial es timates prior to the offensive put axis air strength in Libya at 1000 planes, including 200 German. Why the axis has fought In eastern Libya rather than with drawing westward to make the British extend their communica tions lines has become clear now, British sources said, by discov ery that the Germans and Ital-. ians had larger quantities of sup plies near the battle area than originally had been supposed presumably for an eventual axis thrust into Egypt. Chief among the British gains reported was the recovery "of what little ground remained in enemy hinds at Ed Duda," south east of Tobruk, after three heavy axis attacks had failed to seize that position, British communiques empha sized scattered clashes, which,, they said, took heavy toll of axis manpower, machines and air strength.
