War Situation [est Night

_ (By Kirks L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst)

Allled and Axis accounts alike indicate that the crucial phase the British offensive in Egypt is at hand.

The main tank fleets of the rival commanders now are engaged. LL-Gen. B. L. Montgomery, the British commander, and hi; Nuzl cp- PBIIQM.

O U I O I O

Tl" British Problem was to force s. way through the Axis mine fields and other defences without heavy tank expenditure. They have done it with guns. Indications are that they nave advanced 20 miles or more on the coastal flank, where a substantial enemy force is re- lwrtell still trapped against the sea ln an eight-mile pocket.

The break-through apparently has been paralleled by another Brl- tish forward lungs farther south some 16 lulles in depth through the Axis defence zonc. And if. fl there, midway of the narrows befuveen the coast and the Qattara depression which hems 1n the contestants on the south against flanking operations, that Berlin reports Gen. Mont-

’ gomery has moved to bring the battle to a decision. Nazi accounts say 500 British tank» are in action. I U O O I O

The 40-m1lc span of the desert corridor between the Mediterranean and the depression has conditioned strafcgyund tactics on both sides. Tank warfare in the desert has guinefl its most effective results here- tofore where there was elbow room for manoeuvre. It l! l" "H" ‘File of ile- scrf. yvarfare that Rommel proved himself n master. It is for n renewal of it ho has withheld his lrluln tank units and possibly some of his air force.

A dozen days of British artillery barrage blasting and air bombing by day and infantry forward surges by night have torn gaps in the Axis defence system. And by every indication it 1s behind the south- crn Bill). somewhere near the centre of the cnrrlllor and where a new and important Allied advance was l-qorted, that Rommel posted his tank reserves to meet an expected British armored thrust.

Once joined, the duration of that crucial fight cannot. be great. Men and machines could not long endure tho strain of continued head-on battle. Hours. days at most, should reveal results in Egypt that could vastly influence tbs whole war picture. '

Hold lead in seats for House of

Representatives on basis of Partially completed returns.

(By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

NEW YORK, Nov. 3—(Cl’)—The Democrats were as- sured of control of the United States Senate at midnight tonight in a wartime election campaign that swept Thonl- as E. Dewey, Republican, to a smashing victory for the New York Governorship and developed close races all

over the country.

At midnight (1 a.m. A.D.'l‘.), the Democrats had elect.- ed nine Senators which, added to 41 holdovers, gave them a total of 50. The Republicans had elected one, with 20 boldovcrs. Forty-nine is a majority.

On the House side, the

Democrats had elected 109

and the Republicans, 30. A majority is 218.

Behind these figures, however, was a clear

Repub-

lican trend, particularly among candidates for state gov- ernorships, but at. midnight it was still impossible to ass-

ess its true strength. Dewey, the former

Manhattan

racket-buster, en-

hanced his chances as Republican candidate for the pres- idency in 1944 when he defeated John J. Bennett, the Dem- ocratic nominee for Governor of New York, President

Rcosevclfs home state.

Polling a huge up-state vote and holding Bennett, who had been en- dorsed by President Roosevelt, to narrow margins in New York City, Dewey became the first Republican Governor of New York in 20 years.

"the early returns from elsewhcre in the country were full of D0160- tial upsets with a clear trend de- veloping for the Republicans. its strength still was difficult to 111C180 at 11:30 p.m. E.D.T. (12.30 am, A. D.T J but it was clearly discern- able as a threat to Dcmocratlc con- trol of the House of Representatives but not to Democratic control of the UnitLd States Senate.

The entire House of Represent- atives lllcmbership of 435 seats was elected today and one-third 0f the Senators.

Indicating the uncertainty of the election at that hour was the race for United States Senate m New Jersey. Albert, W. Hawkes, Re- publican and former president of the United States Chamber of CIIITIITELCG, held a strong lead over the democratic incumbent, William H. Slllnthers, backed by the 110M10- al machine of bms Frank Hague.

1n Oklahoma Senator Josh Lee, Democrat, was trailing Eli. Moore, Republican and in Nebraska George W. Norris 81-year-old Independ- ent Senator, was facing defeat. at the twilight of his long and dis- tluguished political career.

In Iowa Governor George A. Wilson, Republican aspirant to the United States Senate, was ahead of Senator Clyde L. Herring, Demo- crab.
