GUNS FOR ROMMEL
Change Of Policy Suspected (Rec. 8.45 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 13. Field-Marshal Erwin Rommel appears to be concentrating on getting anti-tank guns instead of tanks across the Mediterranean, confirming the belief that he has been compelled to change his policy as a result of Allied air attacks, says the Cairo correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Agency. , Medium and heavy bombers again visited Tobruk last night, attacking shipping and harbour facilities. A small boat received a direct hit and other bombs burst on the main jetties. A large fire was started in the dock area. The bombers’ targets included antiaircraft and searchlight batteries at El Daba, where fighters also attacked transport.
