Maw Zealand Troop Fresh New Zealand troops, fighting with the bayonet at close quarters, bolstered the British defense while the streng thened United States air power dropped bombs steadily on the axis vehicles and bases. A United States military observer Just back from the front said the situation was somewhat im proved. An RAF communique said that last night, as on the previous night, the Americans heavily raided axis ground forces west of Matruh, setting numerous fires among armored vehicles, transports and grounded planes; and that a raid on Tobruk set large fires and hit an axis sup ply ship amidships. Second Bald The Germans raided Alexan dria last night for the second time in 24 hours, killing 12 per sons and wounding 14. Raid alarms also sounded at Cairo and ooints in the Nile Delta. Some axis armored groups were caught by surprise outside their tanks during the night and wiped out by Britons wielding bayonets and burling hand gre nades. New Zealanders played an important part in these as saults. The American military ob server. Just back from the fight ing front said, "while the situa tion cannot be classed as good after such reverses as have been suffered in the desert, it certainly is not hopeless and looks better now than a few days ago. Rocket Cannon Seems Secret of Rommel Victory " 1 (Continued on Page Two) ' ' fixed the semi-rocket character of the new German terror. The slenderness of the barrel and the light weight is the tip .that the gun is partly merely a projecto r.

Veatch returned Monday night from a two months motor trip that took them as far east as Cleveland, where Veatch attended the Ki wanis International convention, and Canton, O., where they visit ed their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. McDonell. They loft her April 21. and encountered snowstorms as far east at Nebraska, an especially violent one, approaching a bliz zard, occurring between Laramie and Cheyenne, where for several hours they followed a snowplow that was itself barely able to negotiate the heavy snow. Re turning by the northern route through the Dakotas and Mon tana, they ran into snowstorms again at Yellowstone park. Editorials on News (Continued From Pag One) termined charge of the siege weary defenders. TN Egypt, the British seem to be planning to make their final stand on the strip of hard ground between the Mediterranean and the Quattaro depression, with the sea protecting their right wing and the depression their left That is a historic position for final stands. TIE sure to read Howard Blake lee's dispatch in this news paper today, telling of the belief that Rommel's 88-millimeter anti-tank gun is really a ROCKET CANNON. The point is that by use of the rocket principle Rommel was en abled with a light gun to OUT RANGE the British and U. S. tanks and smash them while they still couldn't reach him. (As if, armed with a 30-30, you were fighting someone armed with a .22.) VTOTE also today that it was - U. S. army bombers, striking at the enemy in probably the LONGEST OVER-WATER BOMBING FLIGHT EVER MADE, that smacked the Japs at Wake on Saturday night smashing their installations there so badly they will be useless un til the little brown men can re pair the damage and fly in new planes and returning to their bases without the loss of a single plane. ;.v.-t-.- -.

Boon Opm lit (iw Tops the Town for Joyout Entertainmtntl CAROLE LOMBARD JACK I RPNNV usurps "As a matter of fact," Veatch tald Tuesday, "Monday wai the only sunny day all day long on the entire trip. Generally speak ing the weather was cold and wet, and on the way back wa ran through heavy ratnt that re sulted in delaying washouts.

Both were greatly impressed by the industrial activity in tha middle west around the big fac tory towns, all of which are con gested with war workers. There is evidence on every hand, they say, of war prosperity, but liv ing costs are extremely high, especially food prices, and mer chandise appears to be becoming scarcer.
