desert.
The Egyptian battle is fast build
ing up to a head-on clash of the
main armored forces on each side
in which the Eighth Army can be
expected to rely on its air super

strength.
However, Lord Croft, Parliamen-

an address that the Eighth Army

He said the battle was one of
great moment but noted that the

along a broad front northwest of
Stalingrad, crashed through anoth-

Pouring masses of men, armored
forces and planes into another drive
for victory at any price, the Ger
mans advanced slightly in two
streets of northern Stalingrad but
lost 1000 men and five tanks.

the relief of Stalingrad, drove the
Germans slowly but surely from

in this area were in considerable
depth and firmly held and the Ger
mans had about as many tanks
northwest of Stalingrad as Timo-
Shenko.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-10-28

The Soviet army organ Red Star
said the major enemy effort in the
Caucasus now was to cross the
foothills and seize Tuapse. The
Germans have not been able in six
weeks to reach the highway that
runs rs miles down the coast from
NovorossiSk to Tuapse.
Therefore, Red Star said, they had
executed thanking maneuver.
Heavy artillery fire and bombing
had enabled Alpine troops to pene-
trate Soviet defense in two strategic
localities, whence they were trying
to drive southeastWard, presumably
IL an attempt to encircle the Rus
SLAMS southeast of Novorossisk.
At Tuapse, Red Star reported,
the Russians had counterattack-
ed the exhausted Germans and
thrown them back some distance. A
battle ragged in its second day for a
height where the Russians had
wiped out 1000 Germans.
The government organ Izvestia
reported that Soviet submarines in
the Baltic had sunk two enemy
transports totaling 10000 tons.

Alien Nationals
Receive Warninu

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)-
German and japanese nationals
were warned today by FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover that they must obey
all alien enemy regulations or face
arrest and internment for the dura-
ton of the war.
He said the recent removal from
the alien enemy category of the
100000 italian nationals resident in
this country in no way lessened the
responsibility of German and Japa-
nese aliens to obey regulations of
their conduct which were promul-
gated by the justice and war depart
ments after Pearl Harbor.

OUTCOME UNCERTAIN
Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox told reporters Yesterday that
the battle is "a darn tough. stiff
fight'-the outcome of which is
not clear.
But there still was no indication
that any major U. S. naval surface
forces have gone or are going into
action in the Solomons.
Vice Admiral Richard S. Edwards,
chief Of staff to Admiral Ernest j.
King. commander in chief of the U.
s. fleet. said the navy is 'r.w
strongly outnumbered in the South
Pacific" " He told reporters in Cleve-
land that the latest losses in that
area were serious but not unex-
pected. But the navy is prepared
to accept such losses in an opera
ton of such great magnitude, he
added.

Some of the bitterest fighting

about village which the Russians
took Saturday, killing 1000 Ger

The RumanianS now were trying

their counterattacks failed, and the
