Thundero o. Allied Gun,
Heard in Alexandra
As Big Smash Begins
Axis Positions 80 Miles
West Of Eeyption City
1orset Of Campaign
BY HARRY CROCKETT,
Associated Press War Correspondent

ALEXANDRIA, Oct. "a Delayed
The thunder of a United Nations
artillery barrage and the crash of
exploding bombs was heard in
Alexandria tonight as Allied forces
started their big smash at Axis posi-
tions 80 miles to the west.
The big guns produced a steady
rumble, punctuated often by the
"whumph" of heavy bombs which
flyers were depositing ,all along the
front from Ell Alamein to the Qat-
tara Depression.
The sounds of the furious battle
could be heard clearly above the
noises of the blacked-out but gay
city. From hotel balcony the dim
figures Of pedestrians could be dis
tinguished in the streets and in the
night clubs the merriment was un-
abated
Flashes Stab Through Clouds.
1t was impossible to tell from pre-
elsely what quarter these great thuds
and rumbles came. The main front
Is nearly due west, but there seemed
to be more activity to the northwest.
In that direction vivid red and
orange flashes stabbed through black
clouds. and as lights increased the
fury of sound grew.
This long expected attack by the
United Nations forces was be-
trayed to naval correspondents here
by the sudden disappearance of
American airmen and British SOL
diers, normally present in large
numbers in this city of lively night
spots and hotels.
American men and materials are
playing a large part in the new
assault. AS British, colonial and
dominion land forces struck, Ameri-
can-made motor torpedo boats sped
westward through the Mediterra-
mean in bright moonlight and
shelled Axis installations on the
coast in the Matruh area. This
action along the shore doubtless
diverted portion of the enemy
forces at the moment the Allied
land operations started to the south.

The American motor boats which

Poll Tax

Doxey contemplated staging a fili-
buster.
Senator Connally also expressed
opposition in the committee to the
measure.
1T is up to Barkley,' Senator Van
Nuys said, as to when the bill is
called up on the calendar.
AS amended by the committee the
bill would make unlawful the re-
quirement for the payment of poll
tax as a prerequisite to voting in
a primary or other election for ma
tional ofnces.
Nor would the poll tax be con-
sidered a qualification of voters

the meaning of the Constitution.
but would be deemed an interference
with the manner of holding pri-
maries and elections for national
officers.

Supplementing Senator Doxey's
action, Senator Connally called the

members join in any committee
action reporting any bill to the Sen
ate
Senator Connally said that only
9 of the 1S judiciary Committee
members actually were present when
the vote was taken, the number
having increased from the six pres
ent when consideration Of the bill
began.
Senator Connally said also that
a constitutional question was In
yolved as to whether Congress had
the power to fix voting qualiflca-

Can Rent Tires 10
Travel in Mexico
81 Hotels Cooperating
In Thriving Business;
Charge Based on Mileage
BY TONY SLAUGHTER,

Dy 1oAN1 SLAOOII En-,
Foreisn Correspondent Of The Star and
North American Newspaper Alliance
JUAREZ, Mexico, Oct. ,26.-Travel-
hungry American tourists may now
ride over the ribbons of Mexico's
scenic highways in ease and on
somebody elses precious rubber
tires-that is, if your gasoline ra-
tioning coupons will take you as far
south as the international boundary
the Rio Grande.
The Mexican Hotels Tire Service,
S. A. de G. v. of Mexico. is now
renting Mexican-made tires to
American tourists and businessmen
in an effort to create more travel
in the southern republic.
Thirty hotels in Mexico are
participating in the new and thriv-
ing business. The company is op-
Grating under permit from the
Mexican Ministry of Economy, and
prices and activities are under strict
Government supervision.
If persons are in Mexico City or
any other city of the interior, tires
can be rented and used all the way
to the border A persons tires left
behind with the company, along with
$l00 check as security. are for
warded to the owner at the border
points.
Charge Based on Mileage.
The rental charge is based on the
mileage according to automobile
speedometers; 100 miles is equal to
160 kilometers. A trip from Mont
errey to Mexico City and return in
a Ford or Chevrolet car, using four
rented tires, will cost approximately
$32 in tire rental. The round trip
from Juarez, across the river from
Ell Paso, Tex. to Chihuahua, Mexico
a distance of 242 miles, costs 56 pesos
or $l1 in United States money
Each car owner may rent from
one to five tires, but spare tires come
extra. They are rented on a fat
basis of 20 pesos, or SALT.
Offices of the company are To-
Gated in Ell Paso Autel, in Monterey
Mexico: at the Automotriz Laredo,
S. A.. in Nuevo Laredo, across the
river from Laredo, Tex: at La Posta
Motel, Ciudad Juarez, across the
river from Ell Paso Tex and the
main office is in Mexico City at
Servicio Cornejo.
Reservations can also be made by
writing a week in advance, denot-
ing the size and number of tires
that will be needed.
Creating Own Rubber Plantat ton.
The company is at present creating
its own rubber plantation, so as to
be self-supporting in respect to raw
rubber.
American citizens no longer can
bring any kind of tire into the
United States Before the Mexican
government stopped the importing
OF tires and tubes many Americans
along border points had good busi-
ness going.
The Mexican government also has
! stopped sale of tires to United
! States citizens who were tourists
in the nation. Previously If a tour
ist had need for a tire while in
Mexico he was allowed to buy a
Mexican tire and bring it with him
across the border.
The customs department also has
stopped Americans from having tires
recapped in Mexico Previously a
United States citizen could drive into
Mexico and have his tires recapped
but he was forced to drive them
1000 miles in Mexico before cross
ing into the United States.

that Baldwin's somewhat recent

him look around for justification Of
his past indifferences.
II believe all this belittling Of

insratitude Australia is most CRATE

"The United States should be

 PAYMENT TODAY
Checks, Money Orders for Uncle Sam Accepted at
 Revenue Office

Today is the final day to pay the third quarterly installment of the 1941 income tax, Gabriel Price, sem for zone deputy of the Waterbury Internal Revenue Office warned local taxpayers. The local office will re- main open until 5 p. m. today for the convenience of taxpayers.
 No cash payment will be accepted at the Waterbury office. They should be made by checks or money orders payable to the collector of internal revenue.
 Although statements have been sent out reminding taxpayers that the third installment is due, failure to receive one does not excuse non- payment. If statement has been received, it should be returned with the payment, otherwise a notice should be filed with the payment giving the name and address of the person For whom the tax is being paid together with mention of the fact that it is for the third quar- terly inStallment of the 1941 income tax.

to the public, but to the politician 1t is like the smell of raw meat to a circus lion. He will not perform without it.
 Back in the early days of the New Deal, Jim Farley kept little card index of how every Congressman voted on important issues and what jobs he had received. When the congressman stopped voting right, he stopped getting jobs for his con- stituents. That system worked like a charm-for while. But in recent years Roosevelt himself has given more and more jobs to Republicans, while Leon Henderson, the greatest job dispenser of war times, has placed everything in the hands of state governors, a large proportion of them Republicans.
 F.D.R. Patronage Haywire
 So today, the presidents political friends say that his definition of patronage is: Something which you hold out to your friends, but use to reward your enemies" And these friends have had the short end Of the patronage stick for so long that, as November approaches, FDR is finding a lot of the old politicoes unwilling to go to bat for him, while the rewarded enemies won't stay put.
 So the Congressional elections are going to be tougher than lot of people realize, and you will proba- bly, see certain seasoned political sea-dogs, among them Ed Flynn, resigning from the picture before many weeks are over.
 NOTE:-Patronage under the old Congressional system had lot of faults, but it was not half as bad as under the present dollar-a-year man system, where somebody gets a key WIPE job or a cellophane commission merely because he is the friend of a big accounting firm or a partner of a Wall Street broker.

ay
 A month ago, Alderman George L. Kingston (R) led a move to have the proposed payment tables. Last night, on motion of Alderman Patrick Shea, Democratic majority leader, the question was taken from the table. However, it was not passed.
 Illegal Says Kingston Alderman Kingston has contended that it would be a violation of the charter to transfer $4,000 from the tax collectors payroll item to pay for use of the machines, since no appropriation for the purpose is contained in the city budget. The machines were first used at the city hall by Barrow, Wade and Guthrie, city auditors, which several months ago notified the city that it would no longer pay rental for them. The machines have been used this year by the tax office in preparing bills.
 A delegation from local CIO unions attended the meeting to renew its protests against the pro- vision in the anti-noise ordnance requiring payment of $5 8 day for operation of a sound truck. Alex Cashin, state coordinator for the Mine, Mill and Shelter workers Union, charged that the fee is vio- lation of freedom of speech.
 Aldermanic President John s. Monagan told the delegation that a committee which has been studying possible changes in the ordinance is not yet ready to report. Until the committee reports, he said, court action offers the CIO its only means of relief.
 Alderman Shea reported that the proposed new plumbing code is al- most completed, and the board voted to adjourn subject to the call of the president in order to take ac- ton on it as soon as possible. Lo- cal master plumbers have for weeks refused to make any street eXcava- tions because of 8 present require ment making them responsible for maintenance of street excavations for six months after completion.
 Protest Noise
 "A QeleSaUlOn Ol SCdGe SGTeeG resi- dents complained that noise of machines from the Eyelet Speciality Company and of employees cars makes it difficult for them to sleep. Workers cars, they said, are parked near the factory all night in vio- lation of the ban against this prac- tice.
 A committee was named to in- vestigate the complaints, after AL derman Burton H. Walker, Republi- can minority leader, had declared that the police board was afraid to enforce an ordinance that it had rushed through.
 The board voted to sell to Louis Santoro for $10,000 a building at 312-318 Bank street which he had formerly owned. Some Republican members objected to the transaction and it was brought out that the property is assessed at $18,000.
 The land committee, headed by Alderman Henry Minicucci CD recommended the sale to MT. San- toro. Alderman Walker charged that the price is much too low, while Alderman James Abercrombie (R) objected on the ground that MT. Santoro had formerly owned the
