Speculate On Burma Invasion

Gathering of Generals gives rise to‘

New rumors.

IIONDOIN’, Oct. 10-(AlP)—In- creasing speculation over the poa- sibll1t_ of a swift Allied thrust into burma was heard in Lon- don tonight because of the report that Gen. sir Claude Auchlnleok. now at New Delhi with both Gen.

ir Aruhibald P. Wavell and Lt,-

n. Joseph W. Btlllwell, will re- ceive an important assignment.

Auchinleck was succeeded as Middle East commander last Aug- ust by Gen. sir Harold Alexander and there has been no announce- ment since of his new duties, To- day military quarters in London disclalmed knowledge of an im- pending eastern appointment for “the qiuk", but lt was agreed genera ly that he possesses quali- fications useful in preparing an assault which would be aimed primarily at reopening the Burma road into China.

(The Japanese have five or six divisions in Burma, and these have been described as a "holding force", Allied re-entry into the country from India would be in the face of extremely difficult terrain.

llrive Gets Underway ln Province

A total of $36,500 for Charlotte- town and a. few outside points in Queen's County was the amount contributed to Canada's Third Victory Loan drive on the open- ing day, figures released from the local office of the War Finance Commltic revealed last night. Can- vasserg got away to an early start yesterday mornin and their work continued well in the night.

Figure; for Summerside were not available last night as canvassers worked overtime to malre up for the hours devoted f0 the ceremon- ial program which inaugurated the campaign in the Western Capital. For the first day in the second loan last February a total of £93.- 660 was realized in Charlottetown and Summerside combined.

The majority of the $36,500 tum- ed in by the Victory workers yes- terday was contributed in Char- lottetovm. '1I‘he quota for this city is $600000 For the remainder of Queen's the objective is

The quota for the Province is

1.750.000.

No word was received from King's County last night but a zealous group of canvassers were combin the various towns. villages, an other communities for investments in Canada's future. The same is true of Prince County and Queen's.

The King's County quota is set at $250,000; for Prince, including Summerside, it is $600,000.

0.8. Warships Blast Enemy Supply Dumps

American Fleet Oper- ating in Waters Formerly Dominat- ed by Nipponese.

_(By William F. Frye, Assoc- iated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Oct. r9-

(AP) — United States war- ships, joining in the battle of the SolomonS, have bombarded and blown up ammunition dumps the Japanese had col- lected for their all-our assault on the American marine and army men on Guadalcanal, the navy disclosed today.

Whether t h i s accurate shooting by the navy, coupled with constant, furious assaults 0n the enemy from the air, had thrown the Japanese timetable awry was not stated, but the fact remained that at last rc- ports the big enemy land of- fensive had not yet got under way.

"No recent troop activity or enemy landings on Guadalcanal have been reported," said a navy communique.

The communique, containing the first report in more _than a week of the fleets activity in wat- ers previously believed dominated by the Japanese, said that Ameri- can surface vessels shelled the en- emy’s positions on the northwest- ern Guadalcanal the morning of Oct. 17, with direct hits setting off heavy explosions and fires in am- munition dumps.

Naval Battle Possible

The presence of American war- ships appeared to foreshadow a

ssible early engagement between he opposing surface vessels which could prove decisive to the out- come of the Solomons campaign.

The navy communique related that during three days beginning Oct. 16, American plants-both long-range army bombers from Gen. Douglas MacArthufs com- mand and navy-marine corps fighters and bombers based on the Solomons-had pounded en- emy ships and installations throughout the islands.

Fewer Types Cigars, Cigarettes Likely

new under consideration, comes into effect. Wartime Prices and Trade

Board officials have already taken action to simplify manufacturing processes and reduce costs in sev- eral industries and il; is under- stood that the tobacco business is one of the next in line.

____________-i=a War Situation Last Night

(B Kirke L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst) Intlmat ons from India that an Allied attempt to wrest Burma from Japanese control may be in the making tend to recall President Roose- velt's recent fireside chat assert-Ion that diversion attach for the re- lief of both China and Russia are on the United Natiom war agenda. "That, however, like second-front preparations in Europe, hardly can be an immediate matter. It could not develop in time, for example, to affect the situation of American forces in the Solomons awaiting a for- midable Nlpponese attempt to retire Guadalcanal Island although it might prove an added deterrent to Japanese attack on Russia. By the same token, the chances that an Allied second-front in Europe can be opened in time to aid Stalingrad‘: fl0ffflfl9fl do not seem bright. I I I I I

It is only in the thlrd crisis-laden war theatre, in Egypt, that there in a clearly discernible possibility of early Allied offensive which could deeply influence developments on other fronts, including Russia. Nor ls there much doubt that behind the furious and sustained Axis bombing of Malta lies Natl expectation of such an attack,

One out of every 18 Axis planes sent against Malta during the last eight days has been shot down and many more no severely damaged

that they never reached home. I I O O I

There is no indication whatever that the mass nir attack has soft- ened up Malta for ultimate capture, or that the AXls uvrpccted it would. Its purpose is clearly to neutralize Malta as n threat to Axis convoys to Libya carrying reinforcements and lilplilles for RommePs stalled African corps.

Nothing short of a growing danger that Rommel might be crushed by an impending Allied counter-offensvle unless heavily bolstered with- out delay could seem to warrant such lavish expenditure of air powvr against Malta.

E0 Million French Poised For Revolt

Report Hitler's Soldiers desert and Mutiny in

Norway; French situation boil towards showdown.

LONDON, Oct. 19—-(CP)—A vast underground army numbering up- ward of 2,000,000 Frenchmen is poised for mass revolt against- Picrre Lavals program of forced labor for the Germans, a. Fight- ing French spokesman said to- night as reports of mutlnies, de- scrtions and suicides among Hit- ler's own troops in Norway were added to accounts of spreading unrest in conquered Europe.

Laval either must back down on his plan to conscript 150,000 skill- ed workers for the Nazis or be thrown out of office on a wave of revolt, the French spokesman pre- dlcted. If he does back down, this source added, the Germans them- selves might oust the Vichy Gov- ernment chief,

With Lire critical French situa- tion boiling toward a showdown, this was the picture elsewhere in Nazi-conquered lands, as drawn by dispatches from the continent and statements from the various governments here:-

i (By Henry O. Casnidy, Associated Press list! Wrlim-l MOSCOW. Oct. 20—('l‘uesda1')—(AP)—The great battle of Stalin- grad raged on around a factory stronghold in the northern part of tho battered city Monday, but the Russians said today that nil German ah

tacks were repelled after

the Red army had yielded one block cl

wrecked buildings during the preceding night. The Soviet Monday midnight eommuniqu uld the Germans oom-

tinued to launch "fierce" tank and

infantry attacks in a desperate

effort to take the Volga City, and that “fighting was particularly Itub- born in the area of one factory," but indicated that there had been nq

change in the general situation.

Northwest of Stalingrad Russian troops consolidated their positions and repelled a, number of enemy attacks,

Rumanian troops triad desper- ately to capture a. strategic hill, the communique said, but were thrown back after losing 150 men. On another sector the enemy lost about e. company of troops, 1t added.

Heavy fighting also continued farther south in the Caucasus. both along the Black Sea south- east cf Novorosslsk and 1n the hiozdok area where the Germans were trying to reach the Grozny Oil fields.
