that during the pas1 year more than

Nazis Say British
Gathering Fleet
BY UNITED PRESS

Heavy concentrations of British
naval and air forces at Gibraltar
and new military moves by the
Vichy French authorities to defend
Frances north and west African
possessions were reported Thursday
ty the German Transoceon News
agency.
The reports followed warnings by
Fierre Boisson. governor general of
Vichy controlled French West Al
rica. and Yves Chatel, governor
general of Algeria, that the Vichy
government will take all possible
steps to defend French possessions
still under its control.
According tc Transocean, the

Germans Fleeing
Down Coast Road

n powerful fleet of naval vessels and
transports have been assembled at
Gibraltar. The force was said to
include three aircraft carriers, many
cruisers and deStroyers and a flo
tilla of large troop transports and
tankers.
Berlin said this fleet was being
watched with intense interest, OBJ
yiously in the suspecion that the
force may be designed for landing
operations in western Africa
London observers cautiously spec
ulated that the defeat of Rommel
on the Alamein line may prove to
be the initial step in a grand drive
against the axis in Africa.
WHERE'S R0MMEL?
Rommel appeared TO be in poor
shape to face a possible tWo-front
attack. There were some suggestions
that the veteran Nazi African COM
mander might not even be on the
battle scene although the German
radio earlier this week described
him as having personally led J tank
counter-attack ON the Alamein line.
However, the No = and No 5
German African commanders were
out of the fight One, Gen. Georg
Won Stumme, had been killed and
the other. Gen. Ritter Won Thoma,
had been captured.
HITLER SENDS HELP
There we're rumors that Adolf
Hitler was rushing reinforcements
with all possible speed to the threat
ened sector. These reports said four
German divisions have been hastily
taken from the Russian front and
sent toward the Mediterranean. The
troops were said to have passed
through Athens Monday.
Whether the troops would arrive
in time to counter the 9Th army's
threat was uncertain.
The Alamein battle was fought
right at Egypts front door where
short haul roads and railroads made
the British supply problem the cas-
lest Of any battle yet fought in the
desert The Germans, however, were
at the end of the longest supply
route they had ever used in Africa.
BY a rapid withdrawal into Libya
"a tactic which Rommel has sue
ceSsfully tried in the past-the sup

ANTI-NEW DEAL

ANTI-NEW DEAL
All aspects of the returns indicate
an nti-administration trend. But
majority party losses are norma,
in off-year elections. They arc
important in proportion to their
extent.
Congress remains solidly behind
the administration on fighting and
winning the va. Biz war appro-
priations will continue to high
ball through House and Senate but
on other issues it looks like the
President is in for legislative trou-
bles.
There were heavy New Deal cas-
ualties in the northeast and mid
west but the south came through
with its customary quota of walk
over victories for Democrats who
frequently line up against the ad-
ministration on domestic questions
although voting for all-out war.
DOMESTIC ISSUES
Labor, social security and ad-
ministration tax policies apparent
ly are in for more opposition than
heretofore and Mr.. Roosevelt prob
ably will be compelled to change
his patterns somewhat under new
legislative pressures.
Manpower problems and the is
sues of inflaticnary controls also
will tend to draw conservative DEM
ocrats toward occasional coalition
with those elements of the Repub-
lican party which are coming to
the 18th Congress to buck the White
House on other than strictly mill
tary questions.
And there is, of course, hang
over of suspicion in Congress that
our system of divided military re-
sponsibilities is unsatisfactory. This
was particularly noticeable in re-
cent weeks when news from the
Southwest Pacific was discouraging
and there were intimationS of en-
barrassing congressional questions
or Investigations to be developed
after the election.
SENATE ON PROD
The present Senate, with its COM
paratively small Republican repre-
sentation, already has shown dis
position to battle the administra-
ton on such issues as farm prices,
the l8-year-old draft, tax po.i-
cies and related issues.
The increased Republican
strength can be expected to lead TO
further administration maneu-
vers. notably on manpower which
looks like the next big issue up for
decision.
1t is difficult to determine the
extent to which the nation has
elected congressman disposed to
challenge Mr.. Roosevelt on labor
matters. But it is reasonably OBJ
vious that both the New Deal and
labor suffered considerable losses
in this weeks polling.
In general, the outstanding tar
gets of New Deal, liberal or left
wing attack were returned to office
