House Is For IS And 10 Year
 Olds Draft Bill

Washington, Oct. - The House called to service the two and one half million l8 and 19 year olds of the nation by a vote of 345 to Is.
 Support of the bill was not as hearty as the vote indicated, since many who voted aye" still hope to see the bill changed to their liking in conference with the Senate.
 The bill. as passed by the House, provides that Is and l9 year olds who are in high school or col lege may obtain draft de- ferment until the end of their school year, but not beyond next June 1. It per mits voluntary enlistments by the younger men with out parental consent.
 Administration forces in the House turned back sev eral amendments opposed by military officials. One of these was a proposal that the teen-age draftees be guaranteed a full year of training before being used in combat duty. Gen. George Marsall wrote the House that such propos- vision would constitute a dangerous restriction.
 The measure provides that draft boards may not draft the IS and 19 year olds until all boards in their respective stat e S have exhausted their pre- sent lists of eligibles.

RommeI' ArInored
Fighters Beaten
Back in Desert
BY LEON KAY

| CAIRO, Get. 30. tUP) - BRUSH
armorcd forces have thrown back
the vaunted desert tanks of Marshal
Erwin Rommer5 Afrika Korps in
new engas> >ments on the Alamein
line. a communique said today.
Allied air forces, with American
units earring a major part OF the
attack, scored new victories over
the desert front, smashing at axis
troop and supply concentrations and
ranging over the Mediterranean to
sink large tanker off the coast.
Brisk fighting was in progress in
Rommel's forward lines where Brit
iSh infantrymen were picking their
way through a maze of mines and
Notifications and mopping up
breaches they had already created
in the well-prepared axis defenses.
ATTACK BEATEN OFF
An enemy counter attack against
British positions within the mine
fields was beaten off Tuesday night,
the communique said, and yesterday
further tank engagements developed,
resulting in new losses for the axis
which had been hurled back i'll the
first armored clash of the cam
paign Tuesday.
Lieut.. Gen. B. l.. Montgomcry's
Polyglot British eighth army was
inching forward carefully, feeling
out its ground before permitting the
new battle of Egypt to develop into
the expected no-quarter all out
fight.
Both sides were exhibiting more
than normal caution at the moment,
partially because of the heavy con-
centration of troops on the 40-mile
battle line and partially because
both intend this campaign to be
decisive.
The British attacks in the north
and center of the Alamein line ap-
peared to have made a promising
start. Only in the south, toward the
impossible Qattara salt bog, had it
faltered. The exceptional resistance
the British were meeting in the
south was regarded here as a major
reason why the general plan of at
tack was not developing more rapid
ly.
Allied aircraft still we're leading
the attack, battering axis landing
grounds and forward positions. To-
days cOmmunique reported that
nine more of Rommels planes had
bV II sho5 down againlt British
losses - including operations over
the Mediterranean island of Malta
of only four planes.
Tuesday night, Allied heavy bomb
ers raided air fields on Crete, from
which axis troops have been sent
to North Africa in big aerial trans
ports.
Last night, to"pedo-carrying planes
attacked large enemy tanker bound
for the African coast and sank it,
The communique said operations
over Malta were on a reduced scale
and markedly ineffective.
