The detective captain quoted Folkes as saying: "I don't want to see no dead woman's guests! No, sir, I ain't gonna do no such thing!"

Two Planet Lost A 12th air force spokosmnn said the number ot planes used was the largest it had ever sent against a single target. Tho Ital lan high command acknowl edged that damage was heavy. Axis troops and vehicles were bombed and shot up in a series of other raids from the Pont du Fahs area to the Ousseltia valley and three enemy bombers were reported shot from a small for mation which attacked Algiers last night. From all the opera tions, two allied aircraft were reported missing. Stand Doubted The gradual shortening of Marshal Rommel's narrow es cape corridor is illustrated by the fact that Sfax, on the upper curve of the Gulf of Gabes, lies only 150 miles by air northwest of Zuara. Despite the fact that Rommel assigned artillery to the rear guard In the area of the Tripoli tanian port, London military sources reiterated the opinion that he would not make a real delaying stand before he reached the Mareth line. . Well-placed observers said It was not yet apparent that the fifth American army's opera tions In the Gafsa-Maknassy area of central Tunisia were of suffl clent weight to indicate an at tempt to cut ahead of Rommel and block his retreat.

A showdown on labor's strength in the new congress al so Is impending. Congressional reaction to a bill subjecting labor groups to penalties of the 1934 anti-racketeering act by broadening the definitions of robbery and extortion is expect ed to indicate whether sharp re vision of labor laws Is In the offing. The measure, overwhelmingly approved by the house Judiciary committee yesterday, generally, was looked upon as a forerunner of even more far-reaching pro posals. Including one to modify the national labor relations act. Congressional opponents of the presidential salary limitation sought to attack a repealer to a bill lifting the nation's debt limit from $125,000,000,000 to $210,000,000,000. If successful, the maneuver would compel the president to veto the new debt authorization or accept revoca tion ot the salary ceiling.

Again the dispatches point out that to date their loss in the en tire Solomons campaign stands at 791 planes and 87 ships sunk, sovon probably sunk and 08 damaged. THE military mon call this type A of fighting a "war of attri tion," by which they mean whittling away at your enemy, a little at a time, and so wearing down his strength until he Is weaker than you are and can be LICKED. In order to be successful in a war of attrition, you must whit, tie more away from your enemy than he whittles away from you. Tho dispatches (which are rig idly censored) Indicate that we have been doing that to the Japs. TT seems odd that the Japs keep coming on, In Insufficient num bers, to be WHITTLED AWAY.
