Er win Rommel's retreating armies were still fighting In the Ageda bla zone, 00 miles south of Ben gasi, but that because of bad weather conditions there had been little change in the situa tion. Axis Claims A German communique as serted British troops had been thrown back near Agedabia and had suffered heavy losses under nazi bombing assaults. Premier Mussolini's high com mand, reporting violent fighting around Agedabia, said axis planes attacking the British had "pushed them in a northwest direction."

Jan. 3. (JPl Maybe Pop will have to sacrifice his automobile tires to beat the axis, but what about Miss America, who may lose her figure? Wait til she realizes what thel war is going to mean in terms of foundation garments. Not to mention garters. And bathing suits. And countless other femi nine items in which elasticity holds the secret of success. Production of all but essen tial civilian rubber goods was halted by the government last month, after outbreak of war in the Pacific shut off far east ern sources of crude rubber supplies. Inventories at that time were very large, but to ward the end of 1942 or early in 1943 present stocks of corsets, girdles, golf balls, sink stoppers and thousands of other gadgets and near-essentials common in all households or offices will be exhausted. OPM experts predict the real pinch In the rubber shortage will be felt in 1943 and 1944. leaving seeming hardship of tire rationing almost pale In comparison. And, barring restoration of far eastern trade, they express little hope of getting domestic and South American rubber production into high gear until 1947. Many of the Immediate civil ian problems could be solved, the experts say, if rubber could be reclaimed indefinitely. How ever, it eventually loses Its elas ticity under the reclaiming proc ess and milady's girdles made of reclaimed rubber would promptly, obviously, and un fortunately lose their two-way stretch.
