The offensive in Libya Is led by "truly British troops supported by imperial and domlnon units," a military spokesman said. Relief of Tobruk The middle eastern command's only communique placed the British forward lines at Rezegh, only 10 miles south of the garrison town where a mixed force of Australian and British troops have held off every axis assault through a record breaking siege that started April 12th. Not since Mafeklng held out for seven months in the Boer war until relieved by the columns of Field Marshal Lord Roberts on May 17, 1900 have British soldiers under gone a siege as long, arduous and dramatic as the Tobruk garrison. Today the end of that siege ap peared In sight. The powerful forces assembled by the British middle eastern command in five months of waiting, were re ported drvlng forward at all points along a front of nearly 150 miles. They had swept around the strongholds of the axis on Halfaya (neimre) pass, and the coastal cities of Collum and Bardla, racing ahead in an attempt to come to close grips with the main units of the two armored divisions of Ger many's desert general, Erwln Rom mel. The British dispatches said that the Germans with some exceptions were attempting to retire in front of the British lorces. Axis Retreating Many German and Italian units retreated westward toward the area south of Tobruk, the exchange tele graph dispatch said. The general direction of retreat was toward El Adem, south of Tobruk, with Brltlsn forces in close pursuit. British planes were credited in front line dispatches with the shoot ing down of 45 enemy planes while losing only five in air battles. Meanwhile, the RAF bombed rail roads, a fort, factory building and oil tanks that burned "fiercely" at Brindlsl and Tripoli, which was at tacked for seven hours. A six-hour attack was made on Naples and a railroad yard was set afire, the communique said. "With the utmost courage and de termination the crews of Blenheim bombers attacked enemy shipping in the Gulf of Sirte (west of Tobruk) Wednesday afternoon," the com munique said. "Despite Intense anti aircraft fire a 5000-ton ship was left listing heavily and a schooner was crippled."

Gesturing vigorously from the rostrum of Berlin's gaily decorated Sportspalast, Ley told the foreign ers in his audience that they were the messengers of the new Europe and assured them that "Moscow will fall in one way or another." Peasant women from eastern Europe, mustached workers from the Balkans, roughed young French girls and Norwegians in native cos tumes were part of the crowd that gathered under banners which pro claimed in 14 languages: "Europe will win." Ley lashed at English lords and American capitalists and twice shouted, "Capitalism has been brok enl . . . We have chased it across the ocean." This drew' great ap plause. "Until God personally notifies us, we will not believe that we are any less better than the English," Ley declared, "challenging" America to produce a Wagner, Beethoven, Veri or a Puccini. He said Americans should establish 4,000 years of cul ture before calling Germans and Italians "barbarians Another Steel Plant Shuts Down New York, Nov. 21 (P) Camcgle Illinois Steel Corp., chief operating subsidiary of United States Steel Corp, today announced the shut down of five additional blast fur naces for lack of coal supplies.

Gen. Phillip B. Fleming, the wage hour administrator, to suc ceed John M. Carmody as federal works administrator. The president sent to the senate Wednesday the nomination of Car mody to the post on the U. S. mari time commission vacated when Commissioner John Dempsey be came under-secretary of Interior. Fleming is a veteran trouble shooter. Once confirmed to the FWA post, he ls expected to play a major role In settling the bitter controversy involving FWA and other agencies In the construction of defense housing projects. Several of the agencies have overlapping functions and their heads have been outspokenly criti cal of one another. Carmody has been described as a "dictator" by U. S. Housing Administrator Nathan Straus. Straus and Carmody both have assailed defense Housing Co ordinator Charles F. Palmer. The post of FWA administrator carries unofficial cabinet rank as does the post of Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt. U. S. Takes Over Power Project Washington, Nov. 21 W) The federal works agency, saying It was weary of "financial and manage ment difficulties" in the Grand river dam power project in Oklaho ma, announced today it was taking possession away from a state au thority by order of President Roose velt. Legal and other controversies have beset the stlll-bulldlng $25,- 000,000 project since Its Inception in 1935, the FWA said. The fed eral agency proposes to "manage and operate It for the purpose of generating and supplying hydro electric power for national defense." Among the difficulties cited by tne FWA were the long argument between federal officials and Gov ernor Leon Phillips over flooding of highways and selection by the state authority of a general manager "whose appointment was not ap proved by the administration of federal works." Governor Phillips called out state troops to take charge of the prop erty at the height of the controversy over the highways, In 1940. The announcement said the power would be used for aluminum, mag nesium, smokeless powder, T.N.T., D.N.T., airplane assembly, and bomb and shell loading plants, together wu.n some 50 army camp bases and other defense activities.

He said it was cited that in the city of London, which for weeks and months was under almost con stant bombing attacks, the civil authorities are in full control of home defense measures and not the military. Problems also are to be met of cooperation between counties and other areas. He cited that an alum inum plant in Multnomah county may be served with power from a power line through Hood River county and It will be expected that Hood River county officials protect the power line. "Manifestly," said the deputy. "the sheriff cannot handle situa tions which may arise through a slender force of deputies and it is up to a civilian organization to meet these problems. Such things as the recent "blackout" Is not a stunt. It ls to train the wardens as well as the populace what must be done and should be taken seriously. 'committees were named at Wed nesday's meeting and they will meet again as soon as they have their work outlined and police and other officers will be given data as to what further steps are to be taken. Also the FBI will start a six dav school December 1 for further training of peace officers who in turn carry on training schools In their respective areas, a number of which have been and will be car ried on in Marion county. One of the matters which Im pressed me most at the meeting the other day was the necessity of the people taking these matters seri ously. The fact that this countrv has never been Invaded since the war of 1812 doesn't Indicate It can't be or won't be. And nobody knows wnen it might come. The time to get ready is now.
