E RUSH TO TRIPOLI London, Dec. 27. (P) There was a growing belief among London observers today that Germany and Italy are rushing heavy reinforcements to Trip oli, capital and chief port of Libya, and thence easeward into the Libyan battle zone in spite of heavy losses of ships in the Mediterranean. An Informed source declared nothing specific was known here concerning reinforcements for nazi Gen. Erwln Rommel's hard-pressed army. "But as we have said repeat edly," this source added, "it Is impossible to prevent some ships from getting across and we have every reason to believe some troops and supplies may get to Tripoli." Some quarters asserted the Germans and Italians already have started an intensive win ter campaign to destroy British power in the Mediterranean area a move which they have predicted for the past two weeks.

AP) The United States and Great Britain were believed today to have reached a preliminary agreement on the broad strategy for land, air and sea campaigns calculated to put the allies on the high road to victory In 1943. The next step is to work out the details and responsibility for the strategy's execution, and the expectation was that this would get under way almost immedi ately perhaps even today in a joint conference attended by the representatives of the major al lied powers, The nations participating will be the United States, Great Brit ain, Soviet Russia, China, The Netherlands, the Dominion of Canada, Australia and New Zea land. The latter six have been kept fully informed on the pro gress of the conversations be tween President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, and representatives of the Pan-American nations were invited to the White House today for a similar review. One Indication that the joint conference was about to start was the arrival here yesterday of Canada's prime minister, W. L. Mackenzie King. There was reason to believe that arrangements for close Anglo-American cooperation al ready have been worked out, and it was reported that General Sir John Dill, the retiring chief of staff of the British army, would remain in Washington Indefi nitely to help assist in coordinat ing the military efforts of the two nations. Sir John came here in Churchill's party. NOTED DEAD Miami Beach, Fla., Dec. 27.

(APV Cafe society had another of it periodic demonstrations of fisti cuffs today, notable chiefly for the fact that it showed a Vander bilt how the Hollywood half sometimes lives. In a sense it was a battle royal, but the description refers to the principals, not the action. They were David Mdlvanl, prince and former husband of Mae Murray, and Mike Roman off, the ex-Brooklyn pants press or whose title of prince is strictly self-conferred. The scene was the swank Mo cambo cafe. What started today's set-to re mained hidden in the general confusion. But witnesses agreed that there was more pushing than punching, that two or three people were on the floor at one time or another, and that Charlie Morrison, who runs the cafe, cleared things out in a hurry. The occasion was a pre-nup-tials party for 17-year-old Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, she of the millions, and her man-about- -town bridegroom-to-be, 32-year-old Pat di Cicco, whose wedding is planned tomorrow.
