CAIRO, Sept. l (UP) - BflClSf
Imperial forces are fighting heav-
lily against a German attack at the
south end of the Egyptian front
and have thrown back an attack
in the center, in the first phase
of an apparent supreme Axis drive
for Alexandria, the Nile and Suez,
it was announced today, >
Picked German forces led by
tanks attacked the southern end
of the Alamein battle line near the
7C0-foot Ell Himeimat hill which
dominates the entire southen area
eight miles from the Qattara salt
bog depression.
At the same time another Axis
force, largely Italian, struck the
Imperial center midway between
the depression and the coast on
the 36 mile line.
British forces had anticipated the
Axis attacks which opened in the
early hours of yesterday morning
after days of intensifying activity
aground and in the air.
ATTACK REFUSED
The attack in the center was
quickly repulsed but heavy fight
ing continued throughout the day
in the south where German Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Axis
commander in chief, had made his
main bid.
Allied planes, believed to include
United States Army heavy and me-
dium bombers, were believed domi-
nant in the sky over the battle
line
A comm unique reporting the
opening of the fall campaign after
a five-week interval told of heavy
Allied plane raids on enemy trans
port and airfields despite sWirling
dust storms.
At least seven ENEMY planes
were shot down in air fights, the
communique reported, in addition
to many destroyed aground
Antiaircraft guns shot down sew
eral enemy planes over the fight
ing line.
Rommel had opened what seemed
to be still-devcloping attack
where the southern flank of the
Alamein line loses itself in a wild
erness of sandy valleys and lime
stone plateaus which gave an eerie
impression of the Mountains OF the
Moon.
ALEXANDER READY
Gen. Harold r. L. G. Alexander
the new British commander IN
chief, had thoroughly reorganized
his eighth army in preparation Tor
the attack.
Commanders were new, down TO
divisional generals. With new troops
and new tanks. Alexander had ceen
racing to build a virtually new
army in the belief that the zero
hour for the biggest campaign OF
the war on the Egyptian front was
at hand.
Usually Rommel attacks with the
full moon. Now the moon was on
the wane.
Also the smashing night aerial at
tacks with which Rommel opened
previous offensive by moonlight
failed to materialize.
Allied planes, instead, had IN
tensified their attacks on the en-
tire Axis battle area and rear 40

Argentina Must Join
Anti-Axis Front 10
Get Aid From U.s..
New Policy Will Favor
Republics Going to War
Or severing Relations
By the Associated Press.


The United States has shut Argen-
tina of from the special economic,
military and naval aid granted Latin
American countries, until such time
as she takes her place in the hemi-
sphere front against the Axis.
The decision, an authoritative
source disclosed yesterday, was in
line with a new policy Of giving
preferential treatment to American
republics which have gone TO war
or severed relations with the Axis.
The nine nations that have de-
clared war and the nine nations
that have cut relations have exposed
themselves to Axis attack, the
authority explained, hence, he
added, they must have all the eco
nomic aid and military and naval
materiel the United States can
safely provide them. Because Of
the situation, nothing remains for
the other Latin American countries.
Retains Ties With Axis.
At the present time, the Official
said, Argentina still maintains rela-
tions with the Axis and Is failing to
contribute In any effective way to
the defense or security Of the West
ern Hemisphere. Until and unless
Argentina pulls her share of the
hemisphere defense load, 1t will be
impossible to send military or naval
supplies to the Buenos Aires gov
ernment.
Chile, the only other Latin Amer.
ican nation that has not yet broken
with the Axis, will get modified
treatment in regard to military and
naval supplies, 1t was stated. This Is
because Of Chile's long coastline and
because her navy Is smaller than
that of Argentina.
After the January conference OF
American foreign ministers in Rio
de Janeiro, the United States took
the position that those Latin Amer
ican nations that had declared war
or ruptured relations were in in
creased peril, the expert said. This
made 1t urgent that those countries
exposing themselves to danger would
receive what material this country
could supply.
Not n ReprisaI.
Declaring that every government
has full right to determine its own
foreign policy, he pointed out the
revised policy could in no way be
interpreted as a reprisal against
Argentina.
The United States, he declared, Is
delineating a foreign policy that
any one would agree Is legitimate
and logical from any standpoint.
This country's policy on military
and naval supplies must be extended
also to economic and commercial
matters, the informant said. How
ever, the United States is making
every effort to provide the normal
supply of essential goods necessary
to the economic stability Of Argen-
tina.
The authority's disclosure Of the
new foreign policy followed the re-
turn to Argentina Of a military
naval purchasing mission. It's return
resulted In speculation concerning
relations between the United States
and Argentina.
