Brifish Take Salum, 222 Easing Axis Threat = To Forces in Libya Imperials 300 Miles West Pressing on Heels of Retreating Enemy By the Associated Press. CAIRO, Jan. 13—The capture of Salum, tightening Britain's encircle- ment of hold-out Axis troops in the Halfaya sector, was announced by British Near East headquarters to- | day as imperial vanguards more than 300 miles to the west pressed on the retreating enemy’s heels. Between 7,000 and 8,000 Axis troops were believed to be isolated in the area near the Egyptian-Lib- yan border. Strengthens Siege. Salum had been used by the Axis only as an outpost because its har- bor is dominated by British artillery and the British also have long held the nearby Salum barracks. Capture of the village, therefore, was impor- tant chiefly as strengthening the siege of the Axis forces. A British military commentator said the loss of Salum had cost the Axis garrison at Halfaya a valuable source of water supply. The garri- son has been reported to be suffer- ‘ ing serious food and water shortages. | A Transvaal Scottish regiment | took the village, a communique said. | “About 350 prisoners were cap- | tured,” it reported, “of which rather | more than half were German.” Axis Forces May Make Stand. | Advanced British mechanized | forces were reported to have reached the road from Agheila, on the Gulf of Sirte, to Marada, a desert city | 70 miles to the south, “along which general line the enemy appears to be preparing to make a stand.” The British air force, in addition to providing effective support for the advance troops, were said to have heavily bombed Halfaya. | Heavy Fighting at Salum Reported by Italians ROME, Jan. 13 (Official Broad- cast) (#).—Heavy fighting was re- ported by the Italian high com- mand in the frontier region of | Salum after repulse of violent Brit- |1sh attacks against Axis positions | there in the battle of Libya. > | Southwest of Agedabia, British | armored units were thrown back |and some of their vehicles were | defitmyed the high command said. | “Air force detachments have at- tacked enemy lines repeatedly with visible success,” it declared.

Senator Walsh said the Marine Corps might ultimately relax severe | physical and age requirements to permit men to enlist in the marines for limited service, such as the guard | work. ;Indies-(ifiicfi En Route {Here fo Speed U.
