Woman Journalist
 Seeks Nomination
Mrs. Clare Booths Luce, Playwright, War COrrespon-
 dent to Oppose Congressman Leroy Downs (D.)

Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce of Greenwich, journalist, war corre- Spondent, playwright and follower of Wendell L. Willkie, will definitely be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Fourth district, according to Green wich Time. Mrs. Luce was at first undecided about entering the race, the newspaper, says, but has now made up her mind to run.
 The district is at present repre- sented by LeRoy Downs, Democrat, of Norwalk. The Socialist party may play an important role in the cam paign, either by nominating a can- didate of it's own or endorsing Con- gressman Downs.
 Says the Greenwich paper of Mrs. Luce'S decision:
 "She has finally come to the de- cision that she wants the nomina- ton and will try to get 1t.
 Her actions in the past few weeks have pointed directly to that decision.
 "She has made several speaking appearances at strategic places, in- cluding the Chamber of Commerce in Bridgeport, the Greenwich Wo- mems Republican Club. and the State Legion Convention in New London.
 "She was present at the Repub- lican State outing in Westport on June 23.
 Even though Mrs. Luce has now deci1 1,d to pitch in and work for the nomination, 1t is likely that she will still refrain from publicly an nouncing the fact herself = at least until the Convention date draws closer. The Congressional conven- ton will be held in Bridgeport on Sept. IA.
 Mrs. Luce's decision to run for the Fourth District Congressional seat seems to indicate she is not interested in 8 proposal to put her on the State ticket as candidate for Congressman -at-large.
 This suggestion was made to State leaders by c. O. P. Town

Continued from Page l) including United States army bomb CTS, were continuing the biggest aerial offensive ever seen in the middle east.
 British fighter -bombers, destroyed more than 50 enemy transport vehi- cles in one of many raids, the con- munique said.
 It was noted that enemy aerial activity was on 8 reduced scale. British fighters shot down three enemy planes and anti-alrcraft guns shot down two in Axis attacks yesterday and Wednesday on Malta, the communique said.
 Only three Allied planes are miss ing from all operations reported, 1t added.
 Dispatches from the front indi- cated that only by essaying a small scale thrust, their first in many days, had the Germans been able to escape a trap at the southern end of the line and withdraw their forces northward.
 Axis on Defensive Along the front generally, the German and Italian forces remained on the defensive against day and night thrusts by British mobile col umns, backed up by still-inten- sifying offensive, the biggest ever seen in the middle east, by the allied air forces.
 It was believed that the present situation might last for several days The Germans had made slight with drawals in order to strengthen their line bu they now were standing fast and digging in behind screen oi artillery and tank formations pre- sumabIy awaiting reinforcements TOT a continued drive toward Alex andria.
 The result of maneuyers of the last few days has resulted In Q shortening and strengthening of the battle line, which now runs rough- ly from Fl Alamein, on the coast GO miles from Alexandria, southwest ward toward the Qattara depres- sion.
 Dispatches from advanced air force bases reported that little Ger man equipment was seen on the roads and camel trails by day, ap- parently because of the effective ness of British aerial attacks. Army men were reported enthusi- astic over the air support which they said not only has dispersed many Axis formations and supply columns but has broken up offen. sive striking groups which might otherwise have been in position tc start a new offensive.
