Rommel sent his forces including units of the German Afrika Korps against the hill west fo Fl Alamein late yesterday.
 Fighting continued into the night with the result still in doubt.
 The Axis forces attacked a sec- ton of the line where Australian infantrymen and tank, armored car and artillery units of Gen. Sir Claude Auchinlecks 9th army hurled back Germans and Italians Sunday and Monday.
 A dispatch from Richard D. Mn Milan, at the battle line, reported that at dusk Monday the Germans were bringing up endorsements.
 On the relatively quiet central and southern stretches of the front, en- tending down to the Qattara depres- sion, minor patrol and tank column forays were noted in 8 conmunique of the middleastern command and the Royal Air Force.
 It was indicated that Rommel might be feeling out the British strength there.
 British and South African air forces, using fighter-bombers and light bombers, continued their day and night attacks on thee nemy.
 Started Fires
 Last night the medium bombers, in an attack on Tobruk, Axis base on the Libya' coast, started series of fires.
 The Allied pfanes were reported to have scored heavily on attacks on Axis tanks and troop carrying trucks.

 It called meeting of the All India Congress committee August T at Bombay to give final decision on its resolution.
 In it's resolution, agreed on in fl- nal form after days of discussion, the working committee of the con gress, or executive, denied any in- tention of jeopardizing the defense capacity of the Allied powers and agreed to the stationing of Allied forces in India to ward of aggres- sion and protect China.
 Must End at Once
 But, informants said, 1t then en- phactilly expressed the opinion, in the name of the congress, that Brit ish rule in India must end at once. It concluded, 1t was said:
 Should, however, this appeal fail the congress will be reluctantly compelled to utilize all the non-vio- lent strength 1t might have gather ca Slnce 1SZU Sucn WlQeSpreaO struggle would be inevitable under the leadership of Mohandas K. Gandhi.
 "A the issues raised are most vital and most far-reaching to the people of India, as well as to the people of the United Nations, the working committee refers them to the All- India Congress committee for final decision.
 For this purpose the A1l-India Congress committee will meet at Bombay August T."
 Gandhi, spiritual leader of the nationalist movement, said at 8 press conference that no room was now left for negotiations with Brit ain regarding independence.
 Many Things to Happen
 'Either the British recognize the independence of India or not" he said. If so, many other things can happen including negotiations re- garding what follows"
 But, he added, a free India would

 Talbot reiterated his support of Baldwin for the gubernatorial nom- nation but failed to clarify his own position.
 T am willing" Talbot said, "to serve in whatever capacity that is best for my state and my party"
 Talbot suppoy ters reported his capacity" possibly might be the nomination for lieutenant governor They pointed out the congressman has no desire to return to Wash ington because of his family, and that the post of state treasurer which he once held, was not as at- tractive as formerly.
 The only logical place for Talbot to be, his friends said, was 1ieuten- ant governor.
 However, complications developed on this score in the candidacy of Publisher William J. Pape, Wa terbury, who reportedly has written Chairman Bradley, saying he was a candidate for lieutenat governor Pape and Talbot come from the same district, and 1t was considered illogical both would be on the state ticket. Talbot indicated he would not contest with Pape for the lieu tenat governors nomination, but such things usually are settled far in advance of the state convention

They knocked out all but one vehicle in a convoy of IS made up of armored cars, trucks and one tank. Other tanks were destroyed in similar attacks.
 At least four enemy planes were shot down by Imperial fighters yes- terday and thre more were destroyed over Malta, against the losst of three Imperial planes. The pilots of one of the Imperial planes was saved.
 In his attacks on the coastal end of the British line, Rommel had first sent in the Italians, with hardly any tank support.
 When they were beaten back he was forced to use some Germans and they likewise, were repulsed without reaching the Imperial lines.
 The third attack apparently was the most determined of his attempts to break the line which the British established by 8 sudden advance last week.

 Gandhi would not speculate on the likelihood of British acceptance ex- cept to comment that the British were human beings and that there was thus always hope.
 But the alternative to acceptance of nationalist demands, he said, would be 8 mass movement on the widest possible scale, although with out violence and without the par- ticipants counting arrest.
 He said that he did not want riot ing but intimated that 1t might be impossible to avoid riots.
 He said that a free India would cooperate with the Allied war ef- fort, but he would not predict what form the cooperation might take. If he had his way, he said, it would be entirely non-violent in character.
 The working committee in its resolution, informantS said. asserted that the congress had pursued a policy of non embarrassment, hop ing that nothing would be done cal- culated to tighten Britain's hold on India.

Talbot would not seek any office this year.
 Pallotti, who several months ago brought charges against and prose- cuted State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox, told Fairfield county Republican league meeting last night that his renomination by the party was assured.
 The attorney general did not say who assured him of renomination, but informed state Capitol sources said the assurances came several days ago from State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley. Pallotti and Bradley are not close politically, and reports were current for some time that the Bradley faction of the party was seeking to oust Pal lotti.
 It was reported widely during the early part of the year that Bradley was sounding out other possible candidates for attorney general, one of the most important places on the ticket. As result of these reports, Pallotti was understood to have visited Bradley for a clarifeation of his position.
