One explanation suggested was
that Romomel was looking for soft
spot where there might be a rea-
sonable chance of breaking through.
The fact that he had thrown his
entire Afrika Korps into his first
advance clearly stamped it as a
serious effort anu Rommel could
not afford to see his Elite corps
battered without gaining a decisive
result.

 Realtors throughout the nations metropolitan centers submitted rec ports on problems springing from early stages of the new centralized industrial growth. Many said they had not faced comparable prob. lens for several decades.
 The reports showed that the population Shift back to the cities had caused Q boom in retail loca. tlons and residential real estate values In many localities while dc. pressing values in others.

 It's Temporary Shift
 Many manufacturers of civilian goods, forced to retrench, are searching for smaller quarters, while those producing war mate- rails face c problem of immediate expansion. ,,,,
 Cessation in home construction in all but. defense housing projects has resulted in scarcity of good homes and Q rise in residential real estate values, the institute said.
 Tlse institute believed prices would spiral even higher because hundreds of thousands Of Amer 1cans who want their own homes will have higher wage totals this year than they have enjoyed since 1929.
 individually, Americans look upon te new centralization trend with dlSfavor, the institute said. A report from Milwaukee said skilled labor was reluctant to shift to new loca- tions regardless of wage induce ments.
 It's all "a matter of necessity" an institute spokesman said, land it's only temporary-until the war is over."

Islands Northwest
OF Australia

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA,
Sept. 5. CUP)-Japan, seeking to
strengthen its position in the zone
northwest of Australia, has occupied
several islands in the lesser India
several islands in the lesser Sunda
group extending westward from
Netherlands Portuguese Timor, it
was revealed today.
Japanese reports broadcast by
Axis radios said enemy landing
parties had been sent from Timor
to take over the islands.
Only Lomblen Island was men
toned specifically as having been
occupied but it was indicated that
other islands in the group, such
as Flores, Andonara, Solor, Pantar,
Alor and possibly Wetar and Kam-
taken or would be.
Previously Japan had occupied the
Tanimbar, Kai and Aroe groups be-
tween Timor and New Guinea.
Apparently the Japanese, smarting
under humiliating defeats in the
southern Solomons, where United
States Marines had established Of
fensive bases, and in the Milne Bay
area of New Guinea, where Austral-
ians had smashed an important in
vasion force, thought it wise to
guard against a possible Allied at
tack from the northwest Australian
zone.
