SIMPSON Hints from Cairo that the crucial tank battle in Libya has slowed al- most to a standstill would be bleak tidings for the British except for two circumstances. One is the scarcity of German and Italian reinforcements due to the British Navy's raids on Axis supply lines in the Mediterranean. The other is the Cairo report that Imperial in- fantry is being!rushed into the fight south of Tobruk to settle the issue hand-to-hand with the foe. Accept those reports as facts and there can be but one end to the strtig- Prof. Robinson To Give Speech Medieval Writings' To Be Topic Of Discussion Prof. Chalfant Robinson, curator of Medieval manuscripts at Prince- ton University, will deliver a Uni- versity Lecture under the sponsorship of the history department on "Me- dieval Manuscripts" at 4:15 p.m. to- morrow in the Auditorium of the ,W. K. Kellogg Foundation Institute. Professor Robinson will also de- liver a lecture' for junior and senior medical students at 1:30 p.m. Friday in the main Hosplital Amphitheatre on "The Case of Louis XI-A Study in Historical Pathology." Author of numerous works in the field of Medieval history, Professor Robinson occupied chairs of history at Mount Holyoke College, Smith Col- lege and Yale University before go-j ing to Princeton in 1920. He has done much work on Me- dieval English manuscripts, and has edited the Great Roll of the Pipe and the Memoranda Roll of the King's Remembrancer. gle-ultimate annihilation of Axis armies. British sea power, which the Axis cannot match, bids fair to be the final and decisivefactor in North Africa just as it must be in the At- lantic if Hitlerism is to be destroyed. It now seems clear that the Nazi tank master. General Rommel, sought to concentrate virtually all his desert leviathans to keep the Tobruk-Rezegh gateway open westward for his trap- ped advance forces in the Tobruk- Salum-Sidi Omar-Rezegh rectangle An Italian-built spur of the coasta highway strikes westward about mid way of the ten-mile span between To- bruk and Rezegh, by-passing British- held Tobruk. It rejoins the mair coastal road some 20 miles west o Tobruk. That spur road is the single hard- surfaced route over, which men o: supplies ould reach Axis forces b the closing trap once the Britis reached Rezegh. They had alread; closed the Salum-Mekihimilitary roac ten to 20 miles farther inshore i~n th coastal highway. Surprised by the scope of the Brit- ish Libyan offensive, Rommel appar- ently was quick to see the danger o: envelopment if Imperial tank force losed the Rezegh-Tobruk gap com- pletely. It would bar him from food water, ammunitionand, most of all, oil for his tanks. It would also snap shut the only gate whereby he could escape westward. Highlights On Campus ffToday....
