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.
DYNAMITE ABLAZE

towns of Quilmes and Albert),

S. Castillo.

at Quilmes to evacuate a hall.

rival of the youth's parents be
fore a coroner's jury acted.
