ois Made Al Salum Area Info Forfress, Captors Discover Many Gibraltarlike Improvements Made In Recent Months By PRESTON GROVER, Associated Press War Correspondent. WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN ARMY AT SALUM, Jan. 13 (De- | layed).—Lean and hungry Germans | straggled out of the sunless caverns of the rocky Salum escarpment m surrender today to give the Brmth additional hope that the adjacent | Axis strongpoint on the Egyptian frontier—Halfaya—might give - up without too tough a battle. Halfaya lies smash across the British line of supplies with troops | now advancing on Elvagheila, over | 300 miles westward, and it requires | nearly a 100-mile tortuous desert detour to get around it. At present British and empire forces occupy | positions in the shape of a huge| = letter “V” around canyon-like | Halfaya. The wings of the “V” rest on the | Mediterranean and a point mughlv 10 miles inland. marked as “Point 207" That point is the highest ground in the vicinity.and com-! mands a great expanse around it. It gets its name because it is 207 meters above sea level Actually the British have crossed A line through the letter V" making it a letter “A” by cutting off “Point 207" from Halfava canvon. which leads down to the Mediterranean. ¥ It was a British effort to narrow the “V" which led to the capture of | Balum. | During the 10 months since the1 Germans took Halfava from the British in the precipitous retreat of | last spring they have converted the ! whole area into a fortress of, Gibraltar-like qualities, the South | Africans discovered in the taking of Salum With rock drills they have inter- eonnected the caves around the coastline. Barely would the South | Africans drive them from one cave than they would bob up from an- other below or above or along the eliff face and begin firing with machine guns, mortars or sub- machine guns. One platoon of South Africans drove the Germans from a trench | cut in a steep, rocky slope and the | Germans took refuge in a cave im- mediately below., From there they threw hand-grenades back up over the roof of the cave. They were at- | tached to measured strings which dropped them exactly into the trench just occupied by the South | Africans. The latter had to scamper | out. _Ruth Hussey_Ennged To Lincoln Fogarty B the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD.
