Parthenon Theater building, Hohman at Sibiey street--Adv. Today's War Moves (Registered United States Patent Office) By LOUIS F. KKEMLE (United Press War Analyst) The continuing retreat of the Axis forces in Libya, which appears, to be developing into a rout, makes the situation look extremely good for the Allies in Africa, Marshal Erwin Rommel's attempt at an orderly retreat has been frustrated. He is on the run and seems likely to have to abandon a valuable part of his army cut off between Marble Arch and Wadi Matritan, west of El Agheila. While Rommel is losing out In his effort to fight a delaying rear guard action, the British and American forces in Tunisia are marking time.

When the remnants of Rommel's Afrika korps get across the border into Tunisia, which now ap- ears to be their sole hope, their military value to the Axis troops holding the eastern coastal strip will be problematical. The Rommel army has been badly chewed up and has lost a great amount of equipment, especially tanks and mobile units. It no longer is able to overcome the air strength of the British and American forces which are pursuing it occuping air fields as they ad- war-battered army, or what la left of it, presumably will attempt its last stand in southeastern Tunisia, using the French Mareth lines as a buttress.

Steady Allied air bombings are crippling the facilities of those ports. Rommel will find Himself facing Montgomery from the east and the Allied forces in Tunisia from the west, not an enviable military position. The British first army in Tunisia and the coordinating American forces, which are rapidly being strengthened, are certain to drive for the coast, perhaps before Rommel has a chance to" dig In. They probably will be greatly aided, especially In southeastern Tunisia, by the forces of the Fighting French. The outlook for Adolf Hitler Is so unpromising that a counter-attack in some other direction seems indicated.

Spain would be his best bet, but time is short. Generalissimo Francisco Franco's position is decidedly ambiguous. Should there be serious Spanish resistance to a march through Spain by Hitler, his troubles would only be multiplied.

PASS BOND ISSUE OR GO TO JAIL, ALDERMEN TOLD Calumet City Officiak Are Warned by Judge John Prystakki It looks like a "Black Christmas" for 10 Calumet City aldermen. If they fail to act at their regular meeting on Christmas eve on a new ordinance for the Issuance of $425,000 in judgment funding bonds they will go to jail. The mandate was issued yesterday by Judge John Prystalski in Cook county circuit court in Chi- -cago yesterday. Although previously warned that they would be held in contempt of court if they did not provide for payment of defaulted special assessment bonds, the council voted seven to three to kill the bond issue measure at its meeting on Dec. 17.

In Court 2 Tens The case has been in litigation for about two years. The original sura involved was $574,658 but during nine months of negotiations a settlement was proposed under which the total payment would be $125,000. Judge Prystalski told the aldermen yesterday afternoon that they must either approve the settlement or pass an ordinance to pay the full amount Arthur Sullivan, attorney for 100 bond-holders, opposed further delay. Mayor John Jaranowskl also faces the contempt count City Clerk Steve Maciejewski was a spectator in court The city's legal representatives are Franklin Stransky and Roman Posanski, employed ax special counsel, and City Attorney John Pavlik. 3 for Bond Issue Some of the aldermen said that they thought the payment would be "too great a burden on the At least two said they would vote for the settlement.

More than a year ago the circuit court ordered the aldermen to provide payment for the bond holders. The case was then appealed to the Illinois Supreme court, which upheld the circuit court and directed that the writ be enforced. The affected aldermen are Russell Cadman, William Thrailkill, Frank Magdziaz, Peter Soczyk, Joseph Breclaw, Fred Lauerman, Stanley Jagodzinski. Paul Probst. Frank Miller and Emil Sechausen.

Only four of them were in office when the litigation began. To comply with Prystatski's order, the council must pass a new ordinance, which must be read and voted on favorably three times to make it valid. In view of this, the. judge said that if the aldermen made a beginning by acting favorably Christmas eve he would grant'a continuance long enough to provide for additional readings. If the council follows the course the measure will be adopted about Jan.
