"Up to 6 p. m. yesterday, the

had been taken."
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

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

started and a heavy explosion
was noted in the vicinity of the
airdrome. 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

three merchantmen totaling 12,

15 Jap Ships Sunk
The Rabaul success, the work
of airmen under the MacArthur
command, brought to 15 the
number of ships either sunk or
badly damaged in three nights
of attacks there or a total of
80,000 tons destroyed or badly
damaged and at least 20,000 tons
additional more or less seriously
damaged.
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.

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.
