Ritchie was one of the most severe of the North African war, although by no means decisive in the battle for Egypt. Rommel’s ous and his land and sea supply routes open to heavy allied aerial bombardment. There also were indications that reinforcements were still moving to Egypt, presumably from other Middle Eastern sectors. A German radio dispatch asserted that some 11,000 United States troops in Iraq had rushed toward Palestine

ICKES PROPOSES! WAR OIL FIRM

Recommends Incorporation To Avoid Unnecessary Rationing.

WASHINGTON, June 25 (U. P). —pPetroleum Co-ordinator Ickes today urged the house banking committee to approve legislation to create a $500,000 war petroleum corporation that would seek to forestall “unnecessarily stringent ra- | tioning” and avert actual shortages lof oil. | Mr. Ickes testified on a hill |introduced by Chairman Henry | Steagall to create a war petroleum corporation empowered to buy and sell petroleum, make loans to oil companies, pay transportation charges and provide for storage of petroleum products. “Certainly, unless positive action]

to aid in bolstering the threatened Mediterranean fronts. The American force was a motorized division, according to the enemy broadcast. Rommel’s successful and quick break through the frontier. however, had created the most dangerous situation for the allied Middle East defenses. It greatly advanced Hitler's plan for twin offensives through the Russian Caucasus sector and through Egypt to cut vital united nations communications routes and seize the oil of the Near East. Despite the British report of “heavy” axis losses in the Egvptian desert, Rommel was now in possession of all the frontier forts. He was less than 100 miles from the railroad terminal and base of Mersa Matruh, 250 miles from Algrmiiia and

Reports from the front said that axis forces crossed the Egyptian line at several points, striking through the Sidi Omar sector first and thus outflanking the British forts in the Sollum area. The Germans pushed eastward along a line far to the south of the coast and near the desert railroad running southeast from the border, but other columns crossed the sorder nearer Sollum as the British were forced to fall] back to keep from being trapped. Military sources said that fighting—in which the Germans already have suffered “heavy” losses—was proceeding on a front swept by an extremely hot wind and occasional light sand storm, but that Rommel was “throwing everything” into the battle. The next 24 hours, it was said, should show whether Rommel intends to attempt a flanking movement around the Sidi Barrani and perhaps the Mersa Matruh sectors in hope of enveloping the British or whether he would attempt a direct Smash some 400 miles toward the Suez canal.
