V, It was evident that the main battle forces In Egypt Britain ' melting pot eighth army and the German and Italian divisions Vnder Marshal Rommel had i not yet tangled although the ; eighth army has been on the of . Tensive since Friday night. 250.000 Men Involved f- When they do clash it will be f a terrible melee, involving about ' a quarter million men in all and the immediate future of the war for the whole Mediterranean zone. There has been no big tank battle yet although minor brush es were reported. The allies, with some of their forces reported half-way through Rommels four-mile-deep minefield in one sector, reported today that 1450 German and , Italian prisoners had been taken , . up to 6 p. m. Sunday and that the axis forces had failed to dis ' '" lodge allied troops from their lni tlal penetrations. The allied air force, counting numbers of American planes and pilots, continued to attack the length and breadth of Rommel . defense zone between the Medi terranean and the forbidding . Quattara depression about 40 miles to the south. The battle ' line, approximately at the limits of the axis drive into Egypt lasi .June is about 70 miles west of " Alexandria, major British naval base. j ' The allied airmen were trying to cripple Rommels armored forces before they could engage allied tanks. Seven Axis Planes Downed . ' An increase in enemy air at .tlvity where the Germans and Italians previously had all but vanished from the skies was re- ported by British headquarters. .: However, at least seven of the German planes which showed themselves over, the battle area yesterday were downed by allied " fighters and many more were damaged. One United States fighter squadron -accounted for four of the seven planes shot down and damaged three others, bringing ine score lor all American fight er units in the desert to six planes shot down and damaged three others, bringing the score CAP IN QUEEN OF THE MARINES Queen of the Marines ii ox hlliratlng Sonja Henie, fairest daughter of ihe frozen arena. , in 20th Century-Fox's latest musical extravaganza, "Iceland," coming to the Esquire theatre oon. and starring Miii Henie nd John Payne.

The army's fall campaign for support funds Is now underway. for all American fighter units In the desert to six .planes de stroyed, three probably de stroyed and six and a half dam aged (meaning one was shared with an allied fighter). Allied bombers attacked To bruk, Libyan supply port for Rommel, and blew up a mer chant ship with a direct hit. Long range fighters which went along to Tobruk downed four planes. Another long . range fighter expedition was credited with four more planes. Counting the intense action over the battle area and destruc tion of three axis planes over Malta ' yesterday, the Sunday score for the allies in axis planes destroyed in the Mediterranean African area was 18, as against the acknowledged loss of three allied planes. Flank Attack Fails The Italian high command said that a British attempt to land troops deep on the sea-girt flank of the axis, at Matruh, Egypt, had been repulsed as had all frontal' assaults. Matruh, about 125 miles west of the El Alamein front, was raided at the outset of the offensive by light seacrait, me ijnusn nave an- nounced. The purpose of the raid was to harass that base, the British have indicated, but the Italians said that the boats were loaded with ltropps and were turned away 'by air assault. The German radio boasted that 104 British tanks had been knocked out on the El Alamein front on Saturday and asserted that the large scale allied offen- sive had been warded off but fighting nevertheless continued Italy Heavily Bombed In the European sectors of the air war there was an overnight lull while Britain tallied the re sults of four smashing bomber raids in three days on northern Italy's ports and industries. The attacks cost only eight bombers The Caproni bomber factory at Milan was the final target Saturday night. Only a few hours earlier Milan had been raided by daylight, the first such excursion against northern Italy in inis war. The night raiders completed the job with a great tonnage ol bombs, two-ton block ousters which devastated whole sections of this second largest Italian city. British Subs Active Tied in with this effort to im pair Italy's role in the develop ing battle of Africa was a Brit ish submarine offensive in the Mediterranean credited yester- aay wan sinking five Italian supply ships, probably sinking an enemy destroyer and an arm ed merchant cruiser and heavily damaging five other sunnl v snips. These blows, the London ad miralty said,' made a total of 24 axis supply ships sunk or dam aged by British submarines in the Mediterranean during Oc tober. In the only European air na tivity reported this mornine. London's anti-aircraft gunners went into action after two hos tile planes were spotted heading for-the city. Groceries Gone Fifteen dol lars worth of groceries which he purchased and put in his car at Eighth and High streets, were missing when George J.

Both missions were accomplished today without the loss of a plane despite Japanese efforts at interception. (Attempting to minimize the raids on Hongkong, the Tokyo radio said that damage was neg ligible in the first one and that the raiders "were forced to turn tail" by fire of Japanese ' anti aircraft guns in the second. The Tokyo broadcast gave the time of Sunday's raid as 3:30 p. m. and Monday's at 1:30 a. m.) As a passenger in one of the Sunday raiders I saw the Amer ican bombs starting mammoth fires in Hongkong and I watched challenging Japanese fighter planes shot down in flames by American bomber gunners and fighter pilots. The blows by the United States air forces were greeted with rejoicing in Chungking and the word on all sides was that the big American aerial offensive was on. All occupied China now is within range of the allied bombers, as was demonstrated last Wednesday when the Amer icans raided the Kailan coal mines, north of Tientsin, which heretofore have produced 65 to 75 per cent of the coke for Japan's steel industries and 10 to 15 per cent of the coal need ed for heating this winter In Japan.

MacArthur's bombardiers also destroyed a Japanese bomber grounded at Kavieng, New Ire land, and started fires among suppky dumps there which could be seen for 80 miles. Koepang, Dutch Timor, also was raided over the weekend and allied air; men continued their strafing sup port of the limited counter offensive across the Owen Stan ley mountains of New Guinea. A noteworthy triumph by the navy'i Grumman Wildcat fight ers was recorded in the Sunday evening navy communique the destruction of 20 Zero fighters, the entire escort of 16 Japanese bombers which attacked Hend erson airfield on Guadalcanal on October 23. Moreover, one of the bombers which the Zeros were guarding was downed and three others were damaged. The American air force in China, having smashed at Jap anese installations in the north with their big four-motored Lib erators last week, hit Japanese occupied Hongkong, in the ex treme south, yesterday, and to day. Today's attack destroyed the North Point power station of the captive British crown colony. U. S. Bombs Canton Later in the morning the bombers raided White Cloud air drome, northeast of. Canton, starting many fires and touching off one heavy explosion. All planes returned to bases from today's missions. Yesterday they plastered a Hongkong waterfront area de spite Japanese attempts at Inter ception and won a considerable combat victory over the enemy fighters. Ten Japanese fighting planes were definitely downed and five more probably destroyed by the bombers which lost one of their number. An American fighter pilot also was forced down, slightly wounded, in Chinese ter ritory. For their part, Japanese bomb ers attacked an allied airdrome yesterday at Chittagong, India, and several other fields in north eastern Assam province, near the Burma border. An allied an nouncement from New Delhi said that casualties and damage were light in contrast to a Tok yo claim that three planes were shot down- and more than 39 destroyed aground. Russian Troops Hold Fast (Continued from Page One) mans are trying to drive to the Grozny oil fields continued, but the Russians said their artillery fire destroyed 20 trucks and a company of infantry. Red army reserves, especially trained for street fighting, were sent into Stalingrad as the Ger man assault grew more intense with the return of favorable weather. It was not clear from dis patches whether the Russian gains within Stalingrad com pletely nullified the German oc cupation of two new streets in the city as reported by soviet high command earlier. The nazi advance had been made at the cost of enormous losses. Visit Here Mrs. J. D. Hook er of Medford Is visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. W. Heath of 340 North Sixth street.

T, Owre, Klamath Falls, manager of the Pine Industrial Relations Com mittee, Inc, William C. Aldrldge, local rep resentative of the CIO-IWA, said the. union was "tickled to death" by the lumber commission's de cision.. He said the decision would be regarded as a setback to unionism in normal times but that it was satisfactory under war conditions. Aldridge confirmed that fact that previous union shop clauses have demanded that employes, if not union members when they are newly employed, must Join within a specified period and that today's decision is even more modified than that. The lumber commission de cision ends a controversy which began here last May during PIRC-IWA negotiations over a 71 cent wage increase and other points. Through the summer the issue became a labor-management-war labor board football, being twice referred to the WLB for settle ment and twice referred to the disputants by the WLB. The PIRC, an association of more than 40 lumber operators from Sacramento to Heppner, Ore., bowed to union demands for the 7 J cent boost in the May meetings, bringing the basin minimum to 80 cents per hour in operations whose employes were represented by the CIO-IWA.
