CAIRO, June 23 (IP) The United States army has hurled its big four-motored Consoli dated bombers into the defense of Egypt with a damaging raid on the axis supply base of Ben gasi, Libya, it was disclosed to day.

S. filers Joined the RAF in r heavy raid Sunday night on Bengasi's piers and railroads, an RAF commun ique reported. -Many tires were started la the damaging assault. '. The RAF alone raided othel Libyan points, shooting up air dromes and transport,, and re ported torpedo hits on . a .mer chant vessel in an Africa-bound axis convoy. : .

Land activity in the desert area near the border thus far has been limited to incursions v by enemy armored patrols south west of the frontier post of Fort Capuzzo, where British .mobile forces also were active. 1 How soon the German Field Marshal"-Erwin Rommel can launch an -attack on Egypt re mained a debated question here, but steps to meet him- were being taken quickly. WhUe Egypt and the middle east unquestionably arc men aced by the forceful German drive eastward, the situation was hot greatly different from that . of last summer, when the Ger mans also were at the frontier, or even in September, 1940, when an Italian army was 70 miles inside Egypt. i .
