Rommel May Make Stand

8th Army Bringing Up Strong Forces To Wadi Zem-Zem.

LONDON. - Jan. 2 —(CP) — British armored columns nud ed forward cautiously around he curve of the Gulf of Sirte in Libya today and Berlin-Rome he rte in- dicated that Marshal Er- n Rom- mel might be ready to break off his long retreat and make at least a delaying stand in the Wadi Zom- Zem. 160 airlines miles southeast of Tripoli.

An increasing threat to Rom» mel's southern flank was the mot- orized fighting French column 0i Brig. Gen. Jacques Le Clem from the Lake Chad area. A French com- munique said this force has driven several hundred miles into southern Libya and is continuing northward. A Berlin report by D N B. said a large number oi United States troops and a complete American tank division had arrived at the Tunisian front.

While the Axis claimed continued advances in Tunisia and heavy air action, allied dispatches indicated there was relatively little ground activity in that sector to Rcumicik rear.

Blight Advance

Cairo headquarters said Gen Sir Bernard Mmlbgomgyy‘. British 8th Army troops were in contact with the enemy in the Wadi El Chcbir-Buerat. El Husn area Satur- day. apparently a slight advance from the area of previous contacts described as west oi the Wadi. Briflsh dispatches earlier had- re- ported the Germans dlggin in in the boulder-strewn valley o Zem- Zem, about 2o miles beyond the Wadi Bel El Chebir.

Both the Berlin and Rome com- muniqucs claimed their forces had repulsed the British domes with shell fire, indicating that the Axis may have concentrated considerable artillery among the gulohee and hillocks.
