' Nazi broadcasts insisted, how ever, that "there can be no talk of a breach of the German-Italian front" by British troops and asserted that despite British su periority in numbers, axis troops were putting up the "fiercest" resistance. Gen. George von Stumme, : .Rommel's second in command, was reported killed in action by the British. Reinforcements Rushed The British radio hammered the story home to the peoples of t Germany, Italy and the conquer ' ed countries with broadcast after broadcast In many tongues. , Dispatches from Greece said the Germans were frantically . rushing three or four divisions from the Russian front in an at tempt to reinforce Rommel's bat tered legions. Four trainloads of nazi troops were said to have passed through Athens en route to embarkation points. Half Tanks Destroyed Allied fliers told of enemy troops "scattering like cock .roaches" as British and Ameri ' can warplanes flew low over the 'battlefield, bombinc and mach ine-gunning the dazed axis ROMMEL armies.

So said Lindstrom Bros., con tractors, to the state highway commission' today in asking that they be released from the con tract.

Cabell: '"This is the first time in all the years I've been on the commission that we haven't had a construction job up for letting. These are all maintenance jobs and now we can't get bids on them.

Independ ent George W. Norris, Nebraska, also lost out to a republican, Kenneth S. Wherry. Lone Progressive With only one senate contest outstanding,, that between Sena tor Murray (DrMont.) and Wel lington D. Rankin, (R), the re publicans had gained nine new senate scats without losing one to the democrats, and the latlur had lost eight. Independent George W. Norris, Nebraska, also lost out to a republican, Kenneth S. Wherry. The democrats elected 15, which with 41 holdovers, gave them a total of 56 in the new senato starting January 3. Re publicans elected 18 and with 20 incumbents not up for re election gave them a total of SB. The senate's lone progres sive, LaFollette of Wisconsin, was not up this year. 17 OOP Governors This democratic majority of IT or plurality of 18 over the republicans compares with an existing majority of 34 or plu rality of 30. Lowest majority in recent years was in 1933 when the division was 69 dem ocrats and 36 republicans. Highest was In 1937 when it was 78 democrat to 17 repub licans. Of the 33 governorships at stake, Including that in Maine which elected September 14, tho republicans won 17, the demo crats 13, and progressives one. Two were still in doubt In Idaho and Wyoming. Counting holdovers, the democrats now will have at least 33 governors, the republicans 33, and pro gressives one. New Deal Losses Technically of course the democrats retained control of both houses of congress. How ever, dependable working ma jorities cannot bo counted on by the administration at all times when it is considered that parly members do not vote sol idly, particularly on domestic questions. Besides the veteran Norris, the new deal lost in the elec tions such supporters as Sena tors Herring of Iowa, Lee of Oklahoma, Brown of Michigan, Smathers of New Jersey, and Schwartz of Wyoming. Other democratic seats won by the republicans were In Delaware, West Virginia and South Dako ta. The reelection of Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler (DKy.) over Richard J. Colbert, repub lican, had an aftermath In a charge by Dr. O. F.
