LONDON, Jan 31. (UP)—Italy has massed 50.000 men befo>e Benghazi for an attempt to save the city, capital of Cyrenaica and expected terminus of the drive of the British army of the Nile into Libya, it was rejioited today. Gen. Annibale "Electric Whiskers" Bergonzoii, who escaped from the British forces at Bardia was believed to have been entrusted with commar d of the Italian force at Benghazi. Two British armies were moving westward toward Benghazi. one through the interior desert and across the Jebel El Akhar or Green mountains, the other along the coastal road from Derna, whose complete occupation was announced yesterday. British advance units were understood to be already feeling out the Italian positions in the Benghazi area and awaiting the arrival of the larger bediea. There had been some speculation whether the Italians would try tq mak; a real stand at Benghazi But military advices from Cairo made it plain that a defense wae expected, possibly one which would make Benghazi the most difficult prize in the whole British north African offensive. A military spokesman at Cairo said that it was non-aenaical to expect a triumphant British march into Benghazi.

TCKYO, Jan. 31 (UP)—French Indo-Chinese and Thaiyand delegates have reached complete agreement for cessation of their frontier hostilities and are expected to sign an armistice pact today, a Bomei news agency dispatch from Saigon said.
