opposition of privately-owned hos
pitfalls in the Detroit area, Mayor

ALLIES UNABLE
 TO KEEP PACE
Axis Armies Fleeing Rapid. Iy, Leaving Equipment
 Behind
BY HENRY GORRELL Limited Press Staff Correspondent

On the Move With Allied Air Striking Force in Western Desert, Nov. 5, l0:40 a. m.-tUP)-De- layedD Axis armies are flee- ing so fast today that the Allies are having trouble keeping up with them.
 A little while ago, Allied infantry was reported we'll beyond Fuka, 65 miles west of Fl Alamein, and driv- ing on fast under cover of fighters and bombers. Just now messen- ger arrived with the news that the enemy was well west of Sidi Haneish, IT miles beyond Fuka.
 Today's race behind the fleeing Axis armies began at 9:30 a. m., with "delousing" units and armored cars clearing evacuated air fields, booby traps and mines.
 Preliminary intelligence reports attribute the collapse of Marshal Erwin Rommel's armored resistance largely to a lack of gasoline, oil and ammunition.
 Scores of Rommel's tanks are re- ported begged down between El Alamein and Fuka, emphasizing the tremendous impact of the Allied air offensive which prevented him from supplying his forward units and forced him into headlong retreat. The entire Allied air force is on the move westward behind armored cars, tanks and infantry as ground crews uproot tents and unload equipment trucks to join the victory caravan.
 The roads are on solid mass of vehicles, beside which hundreds of prisoners are marching in the other direction, toward camps in the rear Burned out trucks marking the line of German-Italian retreat are be- ing showed aside as our army pushes on. Fires dot the horizon for miles on all sides where Axis equipment is going up in smoke.
 The main forces are on the north, taking care of the Germans, while Greeks and fighting French are chasing Italians in the southern sector.
 Americans are right up with ad- vanced units of the Allied Air striking force. Their pursuit ships are engaged in widely strafing en- emy Qualifications, and now will have an opportunity to inspect first hand the wreckage of trucks and tanks American bombers left on the coastal road.
 Water may become serious prob- lem, because the retreating enemy is reported to have poisond wells and water holes. This convoy in- cludes scores of water purifiers.

WAR PROGRAM TO
 FACE REVISION
Changed Political Picture in Congress Will Cheek
 Democrats
BY A. SHIRLEY BROWN United Press Stan Corrcspondent)

tUnAteu freSS Stau COrtetponuentl
 Washington, Nov. 6 -- tU.p.) -- Congressional leaders. still holding post mortems over Tuesdays cleo tons, were predicting today that substantial Republican gains in the house and senate would force the administration to tighten and per. haps drastically revise it's program for prosecution of the war-especial iy on the home front.
 Government 'e'xtravagance", man. power shortages. proposals to revise tariffs, labor legislation-those were the subjects mentioned most often as ones that would receive major at- tention of the 7eth congress when 1t convenes during the first week in January.
 Republican leaders were doing most of the predicting at this stage. but even the Democrats conceded privately that the larger conserva- tive strength in congress would make 1t mere difficult for the ad- nlinistration to hold to some cor- troveyial parts of It's program.
 They recalled that during the last two years the administration has had some tight squeezes- some defeats--as the result of a coalition of Republicans and Conservative southern congressman. Such com- bination during the next congress would find no difficulty in maintain ing 6 majority most of the time.
 Foremost among the changes which Republican leaders were ad- vocating was an end to government "extravagance." Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Ore gon led of on that issue yesterday, asserting that examples of waste could be seen "in every city in the nation and right here in Washing ton"
 McNary also attacked President Roosevelt's request for authority to suspend or adjust for the duration all tariffs, import duties and trade agreements with other nations. Me- Nary said the bill, which was in- troduced yesterday by Chairman Walter F. George. D., Ga, of the senate finance committee. would tear down" tariff regulations 9nd would strike at the heart" of the American man-in-the-street.
