Only one allied plane was lost Far-ranging allied bombers set big fires and Inflicted dam age in attacks on the Japanese bases at Dutch and Portuguese Timor island, and at Rabaul, New Britain. '.BRITISH COUNTER 1 (Continued from Page One) bridge and west of Acroma," It was annouced, referring to an area lying between the Tobruk '' defenses and the 50-mile-long ' Aln El Gazala-Bir 1 Hacheim v line to the west, which Rommel ' chose to outflank rather than 'challenge directly in his drive launched Tuesday. Battered from Air RAF bombers, flanked by Unl- led States Curtlss Kitty hawk and Tommahawk fighters, kept ! Up their intensive battering of the axis tank forces and a com ' munlque announced that many of Rommel's armored vehicles had ' been smashed or left stranded in the desert Over the broad battle area British fliers fought with Ger man and Italian pilots for con trol of the air. The RAF reported seven axis aircraft destroyed yesterday and f ' acknowledged the loss of 12 of its own planes, but this loss in- tluded widespread operations . extending to Sicily as well as . ever the desert Triangular Area ' Essentially, the major fighting ' apparently was at the heart of a - triangle formed by three British strong points, the Mediterranean ports of Ain El Gazala and To ' bruk and the desert oasis settle- ment of Blr Hacheim. The Brit ish said it was "east of our main bos', dons." With units of tank forces oper ating like fleets of warships on , .. the vast, open land ocean of the desert south of Tobruk, there still was no clear indication of the outcome. Tobruk itself, which has come be recognized as Nazi Mar shal Erwin Rommel's chief im mediate aim, apparently still was sate as a British barrier to an axis thrust into Egypt and the trend of the battle was giv ing the British new optimism.

The men of Bntaan proved that. Batuun was no mere uccldont. It was HEREDITY asserting it self. A TRAGIC thought occurs A here. The South thought and said: "One Southerner is the equal of five Yankees." The North thought the men of the South were blusterers and wouldn't fight. (This before the fighting started.) Both were wrong. By the end of the war, no matter how deep the hatreds that had been In spired, there was RESPECT on both sides for the fighting qual ities of the men en the other side.
