S--The . nation's motorists seem to be : slowing -down to the war-time speed limit, but are not doing so ; well when it comes to selling their "sixth tires' to the government, t- Rubber Coordinator William M. . Jeff ers reported Thursday. f Jeff ers said sectional reports ir--- -d the 35-mile-per-hour speed limit was being observed, bu- i.ddcd that only "spotty" re- . suits- had been obtained in the program for buying all tires in ex cess of five per car. However, other officials pre dicted the- turn-in rate would shoot sharply upward about No vember 12-14 when motorists must : register for 'gas:-rationing in mid- west and western states. They can hot qualify for motorfuel rations without certifying' that they have disposed of their idle tires. A hint of the vast potential res-, ervoir of mileage which the turn in plan ,might release in some areas was given in a report from Akron, Ohio. Officials there had t expected 2000 to 3000 "sixth tires" to be turned in. Instead, they got 10,000. . - , . Jeff ers said the entire rubber program depended to a large ex-: tent on building up a government - stockpile of usable tires.

' . J The informant," who cannot be identified by name and who usually has been extremely re served, said the fate of Marshal ErWin Rommel's forces would Q nally be sealed soon and that the British army. J navy and airforce were engaged in what amounts to : virtually j a mopping-up pro cess. ! -S kjr:h;. . : fit la impossible to be tpo optimistic,- he said, j . -.: ;-; The affleial estimate easae bat a short time after the allied eld er statesmaa and - premier ef Sooth : Africa, A Marshal Jaa Chris tiaaa Saints, had saggest-, ed strongly ' that the triumph in Egypt was the tarn ins point -f the war - ;. v . v-', K--. ; Sir Stafford Crips, lord privy seal, declared the north - African battle was but one of the new offensives the allies would mount against the axis. Exiled govern ments in London exulted in the prediction that the desert smash was preliminary to an invasion of Europe itself. The official who declared Rom mel "busted" said the allies were "hunting the Germans and Ital ians like rabbits" with every weapon at their command. j"We!re giving the Herrenvolk in uniform a taste of what they gave the civilian population of France and we intend to keep on giving it to them." he said. "This is only a- prelude to what the Germans and their Italian-lackeys can expect in the next few months, ; "We have captured a hell of a lot of prisoners," he added, "and win take more." He said the merciless slash ins; ef the txis farces -was at nee aa answer te these whe said Britain eauldn't fight an land and i to these who said British and American equip ment was inferior. He said the allied mtentiea was to torn des ert tracks into streets f death. Marshal Rommel he said, is known to be in the desert. Beside the United States and British airforces, and the British land troops now engaged, the of ficial said, some of Britain's fin est regiments are waiting in re- I serve for their turn. said that the Germans were believed to have their main supplies in the forward lines and that they would find it impossible to escape this time. "We've got Rommel where we want him." Marshal Smuts cabled Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, the middle east commander, his gratitude for "your magnificent victory,' the final dimensions of which will, I hope, make it the turning point of the war." j Sir Stafford Cripps, the for mer ambassador ta Rossis, told workers in a war factory that the Eighth army was "destroy ing Germans and Italian land and air ferces which might otherwise be Joining 'in the at tack en soviet armies." ' "This is not the only diversion we can or shall make to help out Russian allies," Sir Stafford said. "As our strength and that of our American allies builds up, other offensives will be started in other areas." I Exiled allied governments in London expressed confidence that 1 the Egyptian victory was a pre lude to imminent offensives in Europe. It was a great tonic to the governments of Norway, Po land, Belgium, Yugoslavia and The Netherlands. " ,!', King George cabled eongrata latiens ta Gen. Alexander and expressed "the admiration and pride ef the whole empire in their I (the eighth army's) bril liant victory." Mr. Roosevelt, la tarn, coagratalated King George. A ; The British radio used many tongues to tell the subjugated peo ples of Europe of the allied tri umph. j The exiled governments views that the offensive would snowball into a drive ; into Europe itself found - concurrence in German radio statements that the British aim in north Africa was to set up a "base for a second front." Sailor Salvages Buddies' Lives, Not $500,000 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5 Uf Five months ago when the USS Yorktown sank during the battle of Midway, Pft, Peter Schultr, 22. of the marines, had a decision to make lose $500,000 or save the lives of five sailors. . , . , He saved the lives of the sailors. .Schultz told of the exploit dur ing a US navy radio program Thursday i night over stateion WCAU, which originated at the site of Tun Tavern, birthplace of the US marines. Schultx, a native ef Short Hills, rw, told this story: "Five minutes after orders to abandon ship I was given a mail sack containing a reputed $500, 000 to salvage. But at almost the same time I saw four sailors trapped in the boat's .wreckage. "I. didn't hate time to think or feeL I dropped the sack over board and went after the sailor! When they were safe I went back to the ship to find a line and there I saw a fifth-sailor still on Coalition Is ' New Offer Returns Show Small Demo Plurality; Vandeuberg Asks (Continued from Page 1) sevelt, told reporters-'that Mr. Roosevelt was in "excellent spir its." Wallace said, the elections turned out the way they did be cause only a relatively small num ber of voters participated. ; , He said that millions of young citizens, now in the army, did not vote, and that most war workers were too busy. This, he said, de prived the democratic party of some of its strongest support. In times like the present, he said, an abnormally large proportion of voters are "people who. are well- to-do, hence are more likely to be lepubucan." "It is only a miracle that the house isnt republican under these circumstances. ' j "The breath-taking thing about it is the success of the president in hoi ding both- houses through six elections. In the aeaate. Senator OThui iel (D-Tex.) offered a bill te suspend the 4t-her week law daring the war "te helper nr manpower vrobtem. At the ether end ef the capital,! Rep, Rankin (D-Miss.) a a d Rep. Rich (R-rs.) called far repeal ef both that law and the Wag ner labor relations act, and de manded that the administration remove "communists from key positions." In Bonham, Texas, meanwhile, Speaker Rayburn expressed dis appointment at the election re sults but said the democrats would control tne nouse ana that "we will be able to carry on and do all things necessary in the total war effort" Senator Vandenberg advanced his coalition suggestion as returns, all but complete, from Tuesday's - election demonstrated : that the party of President Roosevelt would have a plurality of no more than 15 in the house, and no more than IS in the senate. ! These were, moreover, purely paper margins. They assured the administration of enough votes to organize congress and retain dem ocratic committee chairmanships and majorities. But in view; of the tendency of many democrats to bolt the administration on import ant issues, the returns made it clear that the administration could claim no dependable working ma jority. In all, the republicans gained nine seats in the senate,: cap turing eight seats now held by democrats, and that held by Sen. George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.). The party's total of gg assured senate votes is 11 short of a majority of the senate. In the the house elections, re publicans took 45 seats now. filled by democrats, and one held by a progressive. Meanwhile, the party lost five of its present seats to democrats. Thus, its net gain was 41 seats. With reports from three; house contests still mining the demo crats had elected 220 members. and the republicans 208. A ma jority is 218. Seaport Rats Carry Mites SEATTLE, Nov. 5 Dr. Trevor Kincaid, Eminent Univer sity of Washington zoologist re ported Thursday, that the increas ing number of rats in Washing ton's seaport cities were carrying mites which have caused skin ail ments in factory districts. Gov. Arthur B. Langlie ap pealed to seaport city officials Wednesday to take action to -eliminate the rodents. Dr. Kincaid said the rats, which always are viewed as .notmtt carriers of bubonic plague.! brought the mites from the Orient. The mites bite human beings around the neck -end at' hair roots, , the; zoologist said, "caus ing pimples and distress irrita tions.
