British 9Th Army and that it is
believed they are taking part in this
offensive.
These dispatches tied in with an
earlier estimate by the agency's mill
tary correspondent, Gen. Count
Stillfried, that fighting along the Ell
Alamein front is the likely beginning
of an all-out effort by the United
Nations to lift the threat to Alexan-
dria and Suez that was created by
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's deep
penetration of Egypt last spring.
Gen. Stillfried added that such an
offensive had been expected by the
German high command and Axis
forces had been strengthened to
meet it.

that American troops actually were
participating, but American tank
crews were known to have been in
readiness for some time after initial
combat experience, and it was not
likely that they would be left out of
a battle in which all available
strength must be made to count.
Strong Air Offensive.
The Army began its drive with the
support of the strong American,
British and Allied air forces which
for the last two months have waged
the fiercest and most protracted air
offensive in the history of desert
fighting with their day and night
assaults on the enemy's sea and
land transport and bases.
From bases in Britain, the biggest
bombers of the Raj scared over the
Alps in large numbers and ra!ned
explosives on Turin, Savona and
Genoa-ArSenals and embarkation
point for African reinforcements. 1t
was the second consecutive night as
sault on Genoa and Turin.
Over the battlefront, American
and Allied fighters and fighter
bombers strafed and bombed air
fields all day yesterday and last
night, striving to pave the way for
the land offensive by knocking out
the battered air force.
RAF medium bombers and naval
aircraft jolted Marshal Rommel's
front lines with an uninterrupted
series of attacks yesterday and
showered troop concentrations in
the Ell Daba area, just behind the
front.
In 439 sorties-raiding missions
by single planes-Allied fighters
shot down nine Axis aircraft.
Head-On, Frontal Clash.
The British were reticent concern
Ing details of the fighting as it be-
gan, but the main attack was a
head-on, frontal clash on 35-mile
front between the coast and the Qat-
tara Depression where Marshal
Rommel has had nearly two months
to dig a defense system in depth
among the rocky, sandy ridges.
Gen. Alexander and his field COM
mander in Egypt, 1t. Gen. B. L.
Montgomery, chose cool weather and
moonlight nights when the desert is
virtually as light as day to set in

NEW YORK, Oct. 24,-The wide

haunting the stores for a pound of
coffee. $50
You may be asked to mix a little
toasted bran with your coffee to
make 1t 60 farther, but roasters hope
1t won't be necessary.
They're trying to find a good sub
stltute, or "extender" in case.
AS talk of rationing increased one
Dig dealer suggested every other
sugar coupon be good also for coffee
until formal rationing books could
be issued. The shortage was called
partly. Temporary" and roasters
talked of probable increase in
supplies.
Substitutes Tested.
Nevertheless, big professors lab
oratories were looking for ways to
make coffee 60 farther.
Among the various substitutes
they tested were some which could
be sold separately. Then the house
wife could mix her own and try to
suit her familyss taste.
Oliver ]. Corbett, secretary of the
National Retail Tea and Coffee
Merchants Association, said in Chi
cago many packers were trying cof-
fee compounds containing as much
as rs per cent rye, malt, Mexican
chick peas, soy beans, barley or
other cereal
Corbett said such adulteration was
legal if correctly described on each
package.
The Office of Price Administrati ton
IN Chicago and Boston was investi-
eating complaints of inferior or
adulterated coffee being sold with
out such labelling.
Expect Increased Supply.
A coffee expert in New York said
another experiment was coffee
sirup," which he said might prove
to retain some of the aroma lost in
the roasting and grinding process
Coffee importers, however, opti-
mistically cited reports that coffee
shipments to this country probably
would increase soon with decline

tential increase in the number of

While they expect rationing of
coffee to come not later than the
end of the year, they said it probably
would be generous" or even tenn

SAA4hA A<AN
IF THERE had been any doubt
IN Tibby's mind as TO whether or
not Marg was in love after the
crack.up that made her a heroine,
II was wiped away in the days that
followed. Marg went around in a
sort Of rosy fog, her eyes dreamy,
her thoughts far away. She still
wore that new look that libby
knew came from some inward hap
pineSs too wonderful to reveal, the
look OF a woman in love and loved
in return.
libby was glad that Marg was
so happy, but II its cause came
from what she suspected, it was a
futile happiness that could not last
libby wanted to say something to
her friend, but since Marg had not
conhded In her, that was an ex-
ceedingiy difficult thing to do. Be-
sides, why not let Marg have her
happiness a little while? Surely
that could do no harm TO anyone
libby had problems OF her own,
too.
She had been able TO put aside
for the time being. the unexpected
and startling remark that Wayne
COPYRIGHT had made when he
phoned the night of the accident
but II had remained in the back OF
her mind. troubling her more than
she would have cared to admit. He
had said that she was on HIS
mind all of the time lately. adding
that although it was not the time
to say ii, he meant it.
libby did not suppose he was q
man who said such things unless
he did. But he couldn't-she could
not let him. There was Steena, who
considered Wayne her special prop
erty. as she had given libby to UNI
derstand without reservations
And libby. herself, had resolved
that the flying lessons must not
lead to anything personal. She did
not, of course, know that Wayne
had made this same resolution, only
to find now that he wanted tc
break 1t.
She thought of postponing her
next lesson, but that would only be
just that-postponement. She was
getting along so nicely now-in a
short while Wayne had promised
that she should solo-that she
could not give up the lessons. He
would think rightly that it was
most ungrateful Of her if she did
No, there was nothing to do but
face it. which sounded as If she

an unexpected remark. It might
not contain as much meaning as
she was putting into it. What If he
had had her on his mind lot late.
ly? Maybe he just meant as a pu-
pill, because Of their mutual inter-
est in flying.
But libby knew she was only
kidding herself, and not doing toe
good at that. She knew it as soor
as she saw. her instructor agar
when she went to take the lessor
that she had decided might as vel
not be postponed.
He was waiting for her and said
