0ne-Day Registration
Sought for D. {. Boys
To Be 18 by Year End
Plan Would Simplify
Work for Teachers Who
Will Handle Job
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

District draft officials will
seek permission to register all
youths who reach their 18th
birthday before the end of this
year on a single day instead of
during the three-week-long pc
riods provided in the Presi-
dents proclamation, it was
learned last night.
Approximately 5000 who have
turned 18 since registration for 1S
and 10 year olds on June 80 will
register here.
Draft officials explained that since
the registration would be too big for
local boards to handle without ad-
ditional help, and since paid per-
sonnel cannot be obtained because
the registration calls for voluntary
help, it would be necessary to call
on the school system again for the
registration.
Simpler for Schools.
1t would be much simpler for the
schools, a draft official said, to hold
the entire registration on one day.
Where it was shown that circum-
stances beyond registrant's con-
troll prevented him from registering
on the day scheduled, he could reg
lister at his local board any time
until the end of the year without
being considered a late registrant,
the official. said in outlining the
plan the District draft headquar-
ters hopes to put into effect.
If the entire registration were
held on one day, he said, the hours
provided in the Presidents procla-
nation would be- extended to allow
working youths to register in their
off time, although employers are
supposed to allow them time to reg

Main Forces Move
Rapidly Despite
Air Hommering
BY the Associated Press.

=, LONDON Sunday, Nov. o.
A French assault on German
dugouts in the hastily erected
Nazi defense arc around Tunis
and Bizerte, with the result still
undetermined, and the capture
by Allied advance units of an
important crossroads in the Tu-
mis- area were reported early to-
day from North Africa, where
powerful Allied forces are NOV
Ing rapidly to smash the be-
leaguered Axis Tunisian troops.
Reports from Allied force head
quarters indicated that the fighting
Is hourly growing in intensity, with
the Germans and Italians bracing
themselves for the imminent fight
against the main body of British,
American and French troops.
A steady stream of men and
materiel was moving eastward as
far west as Casablanca against the
Germans and Italians, cut off from
all retreat except by sea or air.
The Allied main forces were pro-
crossing methodically for the kill,
despite intense air attacks and vio-
lent air battles.
Nazis Driven Back.
Reports from the Allied headquar-
ters indicated that the British
American and French spearheads
had seized the crossroads and driven
the Germans back. The gain in this
struggle included bridge.
Then the Germans dug in and the
reports said the French Immediately
and violently assailed their positions.
The German defense arc around
Bizerte, with its three main airfields,
and Tunis, with its important mill
tary airdrome. was believed to run
somewhere east of Tabarca, on the
north coast, to Hammamet, SOUTH
east of Tunis. At the nearest points
the Allied advance forces have been
reported within 80 miles of both
Bizerte and Tunis.
1t was reported that the Germans
have patrols constantly on the
watch behind their sscontractink
lines, apparently on guard against
a French uprising in that sector.
Pro-Allied French forces were
said to be in control of Gabes. on
the eastern Tunis coast, thus effec-
lively blocking any connection be-
tween the Tunisian Axis armies and
Marshal Erwin Rommers harried
soldiers in Libya.
Contact Maintained.
A brief communique issued by the
Allied headquarters said that ad-
vanced units in Tunisia "are main
tanning contact with the enemy"
but gave no details of the fighting.
That the Nazis' hope of estab-
fishing a rear door of retreat for
Marshal Rommel already had gone
glimmering was seen in a broad
cast by the Berlin radio, quoting
Allied sources in Spanish Morocco
that Allied columns of 1t. Gen. K.
A. N. Anderson's British First Army
had reached the area OF Ham
mamet.
Occupation of Hammamet by the
investing forces would complete the
encirclement of the Nazis on the
landward side of the tip of Tunisia
and leave them no choice but to
fight it out in the Disseminating
arc they had chosen to defend. The
German radio also reported that a
Fighting French american column
was moving up from the south of
Tunisia, aiming to strike the coast
at Souse, below Hammamet.

Nazi Assaults

MOSCOW Sunday, Nov. %.
German assaults intended to
better the Nazis position in the
Caucasus after the smashing
Russian victory before Ordzho-
nikidze have been consistently
hurled back by Russian units
and at least two companies and
battalion of the enemy have
been annihilated or dispersed,
the Russians reported early
today.
The Soviet midnight communiuue
announced that in the Mozdok area
Gin the same general sector where
the Germans were beaten) one
Soviet unit in one day repelled three
enemy attacks "annihilating some
two companies of enemy infantry"
On that cold Caucasus front, the
communique added, Soviet artil-
lery and mortar fire dispersed and
partly annihilated about a battalion
of German infantry"
Fighting continued in the sector
southeast of Nalchik, where the
Germans apparently took their
worst beating in the action before
Ordzhonikidze.
100 Men Wiped Ont.
One Red guards unit wiped out
more than 700 enemy officers and
men" in that area, the communique
said. and two enemy tanks were
disabled and four burned out.

stroyed as we'll as six heavy ma

back somewhat anc captured several

said, reporting on the fighting in
the Black Sea area of the Western
Caucasus.
The German attacks in Stalingrad
appeared to nave dwindled consider
ably from the Russian war report.
I'm the factory district of Stalin-
grad our troops repelled attacks of
small enemy groups" the communi-
que said. In other sectors our
artillery engaged the enemy in duels.
During the day 300 of the enemy
troops were killed, and six guns and
eight mortars were destroyed.
Exchanges of fire on the Central
and Northwestern fronts also were
reported.
Russian repoi is yesterday said the
German command appeared to be
reforming its shattered lines south
east of Nalchik for a new blow at
the Russians.
Counter Blows Repulsed.
Nazi infantry, supported by tanks
and Rumanian Alpine troops, struck
back at the Ordzhonikidze defend
ers, but these counter blows were
uniformly repulsed, Red Star de-
clared. Many more dead were re-
ported added to the losses of 5000
suffered by Axis troops in their re-
cent defeat there.
Observers were convinced that
despite their pre-occupation with
the growing battle in North Africa.
the Nazi command must try some
thing new in Russia, but there were
still no signs of when or from what
direction the next attempt would
come.
The repulse of the drive on
Ordzhonikidze and the Russians
new local gains at Stalingrad left
the Germans only stalemate to
show for the long series of late sum-
mer and autumn moves along the
southern sector of the 2,O0O-mile
battle line.
