Naugatuck Plans June
 Dusty Golf Tourney

Naugatuck, June 18-Plans for an industrial golf tournament to be held at the Hop Brook club links, starting Sunday, June 21 at 8 8. m. were completed Tuesday night at 8 meeting of representatives of six organizations here in the game room of the U. s. Rubber company. The representatives who met last night were: Rotary club-Stanton Glover; U. s. Rubber Company Jack Mckee; Bristol company-H. Sharp; Lewis Engineering company Carl Pepper7nan; Malleable Iron Joseph Ambrose; Naugatuck Chem ical-John Czapicki.
 Arrangements for six-man teams representing the different plants and organizations. Some plants may be compelled to enter more than one team in the tournament in order that everyone desiring to play may be accommodated. More than six men will be carried by each organization, but only six will play irl the com- petition and each team will play every other team once.
 A handicap committee, consisting of John Czaplicki and Henry Cies- lewski, was appointed. Organizations turning in entry blanks are to in- dicate approximate handicaps de- sired for those men who have not played thhe Hop Brook course pre- viously.
 A schedudle committee, consisting of Chris Roth of the Chemical company, and Dr. A. E. Anderson of the Rotary club, will schedule the matches, which at present are planned for Sunday mornings, with other times of play at the discre- tion of the rival companies. Scoring will be on the basis of foursomes, so that six-1nan team has the pos- sibility of scoring maximum of three points in each match. An at- tempt will be made to schedudle every team every Sunday.
 Entrance fees will be returned to contestants in the form of prizes and Carl Pepperman is chairman of the prize committee, assisted by Stanton Glover. This committee will present, in addition to individual prizes, certain unknown prizes which will be announced at the finish of the tournament. An effort is being made to secure 8 large trophy to be contested for each year and which will be kept in the lobby of the winning plant until such time as some other plant wins it. A com mittee has been assigned to choose name for this trophy.
 During the course of the tourna- ment, non-members will be allotted lockers and other conveniences at the club and arrangements have been made for practice sessions for these. Entrance applications must be in by Thursday of this week. In addition to the tourney starting Sunday, a mixed foursome event will be held at 2 p. m. Sunday, and en- tries for this event close Friday.
 Information regarding these golf activities may be obtained from the tournament committee consisting of Fred zonino, Dr. A. E. Andrhson and Henry CieSlewski.

Chicago, June 1S-Slx months ago, the United States Golf Associa- tion cancelled for the duration the four major tournaments which 1t sponsors-the Open, Amateur, Wo- mems Amateur and Public Links.
 In lieu of these competitions, which, along with the P. GAIA, con- stitute the backbone of American golf, the U. s. e. A. scheduled the Hale America Tournament at the Ridgemoor Country Club here, June 1S-21.
 It was an linprofitable but fa- miliar step for the U. s. c. A. It deprives the organization of 60 per centsof its income, @ matter of some $25, 900 per annum.
 But there was none of racing's hesitancy or tennis quibbling. The action was prompt, fortnight and without stint.

RAF SIashes War Bases Drop Extra Heavy

LONDON, Oct. 26.-At the cost of only eight bombers, the Royal Air Force is reported to have done un- told damage to war industries in the supply center of northern Italy, slashing a new offensive on the home bases.
 The aircraft struck across the Alps for the fourth time in three days, capping the attacks with a heavy assault on Saturday night on Milan, site of the Caproni Bomber Works, where four-motored bombers un- loaded vast weight of bombs, in- cluding two-ton block busters.
 Only a few hours earlier a large force of Lancastefs raided the same city in broad daylight It was the first daylight bombing expedition against northern Italy since the be- ginning of the present war.

ALLIES PUSH EGYPT FIGHT, GAIN GROUND
Enemy Unable to Fill Gaps Made in Line AIonq
 Nile

CAIRO, Egypt, Oct 26. = Allied planes ruling the Egyptian skies hammered ceaselessly at Field Mar shal Erwin Rommels forces as the attacking Allied army on the Nile battled to widen wedges driven into the main Axis defenses in the first phase of an all-out offensive.
 Cairo dispatches published in London said that British troops have overrun two Axis defense lines in one sector, have advanced two miles and are attacking a third line.
 The enemy defenses in this line are said to be about four miles deep.
 The communique placed heavy emphasis on the aerial blows being delivered against the enemy and declared that Rommel,s attempts to close the gaps in his lines have failed.
 The enemy has been unable to dislodge our troops in the areas already gained" the bulletin said.

 The Navy reported the action was in the Gilbert Islands area, ap- proximately HOO miles northeast of Guadalcanal and l.500 miles east of the big Jap base on Trub Island.
 Just what American units took part is not disclosed. It is indicated, however, they are part of a recon naissance force which ran into the Japanese and engaged them.

Grew of lD.S. Bomber
 lnAIeufian Baifle
 Earns 15-Day Leave
By WILLIAM l.. WORDEN Associated Press Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS. ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND, Oct. 26.-Crew members of a combat aircraft, who earned 15-day leaves the hard way with approximately 20 flights over Jap-held Kiska Island. are on their way to homes scattered from Bel ton, Texas, to Brooklyn.
 This crew leads it's squadron and possibly all units on the Alaskan front in combat work It made IA bombing missions and was sent back from others because h e weather was too bad and also made photographic trips.
 The ship came back once with the controls riddled and the cab- in pockmarked with shrapnel frag- ments. The side gunner, Sgt. Henry Sarinske, of Glenwood City, was wounded.
 The pilot, Capt Collier Davidson, of Georgia, credits the crew with one Jap plane shot down and an- other probably destroyed in the air in addition to the damage done by bombs.
 On one flight through terrific anti-aircraft fire, one shell went through the bomb bay, pierced the top of the ship and exploded. The crew recovered the firing pin as a souvenir.
 About that time, three Zero fighters appeared The bomber was already badly shot up and the rudders were only partly us- able. One anti-aircraft shell ex- ploded practically in Sgt Sarinske's face, but he stuck by his guns and drove the Zeroes away.
 Sgt. Walter Baldassare, of New Jersey, got off two 50-round blasts at point blank range at one of the Jap fighters, sending it hurtling into the water.
 The crew agrees that the Zero pilots are good marksmen, but has little respect for the Jap ground gunners.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON-Here is the in- side reason behind British reluctance to take the offensive against Rom- mel in Egypt, even though they have superiority of tanks and air power a superiority they may not have long if the Italians continue sneak ing supplies across the Mediter- ranean.
 The explanation goes back to the loss of 300 United States tanks in the Libyan desert, announced by Churchill after Marshal Rommel staged his spectacular drive which captured Tobruk and came so close to breaking through to Alexandria.
 Military magazines published by the German army shortly before the war pictured 88-millimeter guns bur- jed in the desert, their barrels pro truding only few inches above the sand, their brooches covered with brown canvas These illustrated camouflaged artillery traps in the desert. AS the enemy approached, gunners would throw off the can- vas and open fire.
 The German military journals had been studied by the United States Army and must have been circulated among the British. They were not secret. However, gun traps such as those pictured swung the battle for Rommel.
 His tanks had charged British lines, then turned back, and the British followed straight into the camouflaged artillery traps.
 United States tanks mount 75-mm guns and can outshoot Nazi tanks However, when the British ran them point blank against hidden 88-mm guns more than 300 tanks became desert junk.
 Having put them out of commis- sion, Rommers fast-moving forces moved north at top speed behind the British mine fields, toward Tobruk The British had no idea where they were heading. For part of the Brit ish force guarding Tobruk had nov ed south because they thought-be- fore the 300-tank ambush-that they had Rommel on the run.
 So Rommel caught Tobruk com- pletely by surprise. Only a handful of New Zealanders were on guard outside the city.
 Since then the British have been super-cautious about taking the in- itiative against Rommel. They have been afraid of more tank traps hid den in the desert.
 NOTE: British experts agree that this was no reflection on the Amer ican tank, which has outshot Ger man tanks when they meet in bat tie face to face. Official reports from Russia, despite some reports to
