(By William Smith White, Associated Press Staff Writer)

The Axis Libyan Corps still was backtracking rapidly last night along the road to Tripoli and there were some indications that from the desert to the distant shores of Tunisia Allied air power was striking its most effective blows thus far in the great struggle for North Africa.

The emerging details of Field Marshal Rommel’: flight from E1 Agheila suggested that his implacable pur- uer, Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery, was being bothered principally by Nazi mine-fields and booby-traps and that if any Axis fighting was being done it was again the Italians who had been given _tlie assignment.
