HOLLYWOOD, July II - Radio
perSonalitles-comlc singers, bands
men-are all over the movie lots
these days as the studios whip up
a few frothy items for the early
autumn trade. Movie people are
a little inclined TO look down their
noses at the air performers, but
directors like 'em. For example,
on the set of Here We Go Again."
l watched Fibber MCGEE go through
difficult scene perfectly time after
time while screen actors with less
responsibility in the shot stumbled
all over themselves.
RKO is Citing worried about its
animation of Charlie Mccarthy in
this picture-having him imperson-
ated by midget and thus enabled
to do such things as run from a
bear, dance with chorus girls. Fans
like Mccarthy as a dummy, and
won't believe this creature is worked
with wires.

CAIRO, July II. CUP)-BritiSh
forces have knocked out many Ger
man tanks in a fierce and still
developing battle on the central sec
tor of the Alamein front, it was
announced today.
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
threw his main armored forces into
the central sector at dawn yester-
day in an attempt to dislodge the
Imperial troops from their newly
won dominant Ruqeisat Ridge and,
it was indicated, to get his Afrika
Korps rolling eastward on a new
drive for Alexandria and the Nile.
Numerous enemy tanks were
knocked out in the first phase of
the fighting, the communique said.
1t added that British losses were not
yet known.
ROMMEL COMES BACK
Repulsed, apparently, in the morn
ing and afternoon, Rommel resumed
the attack in the evening and at
last report the fighting, still intensi-
flying, continued.
There was bitter fighting also on
the coastal area of the front, and
on the south British mobile task
forces compelled the Germans to
withdraw slightly, it was asserted
Bomber and fighter-bomber planes
supporting the ground forces, at
tackled German and italian forma-
tions in the battle area and targets
to the enemy rear.
In steady attacks from dawn to
dusk yesterday the fighter -bombers
scored direct hits on enemy vehicles
forced many to flee across the des-
ert, and struck mobile tank work
shops and gun positions.
TRANSPORTS ATTACKED
Light bombers heavily attacked
German transport concentrations
and caused large fires and explo-
sions, the communique said.
Fighters, on continuous patrol,
shot down at least four enemy air
craft.
Britain lost six planes in all oper-
atiOnS.
Zurich reported that neutral cor
respondents at Rome had been told

RommeI Throws Strength
Against Imperial Lines

that German and Italian troops had
penetrated the British lines at Ell
Alamein and were continuing an
offensive against Alexandria,
There was fierce fighting, under
a blazing desert sun, all along the
front between the coast and the
central sector.
FIGHT FOR RIDGE
Rommel was reported to be swing
ing the bulk of his Afrika Korps
armored units, supported by German
motorized infantry and Italian
troops, into the center.
Fighting continued all day yester-
day and through the night for
possession of a dominant ridge about
seven miles south of Ell Alamein.

Off Year Election Is Likely To Result
 In No Major UpSetS In Political Picture

the election were to be held year later when higher taxes increased ratonng and greater war losses will have hit the civilian economy much harder, then you might expect that the Congress would go definitely Re- publican
 But now political observers believe that the prevail ing sentiment of the country is to support the effort to the extent of not rocking the political ship of state too much.
 The effort to purge" those congressman who in the prePearl Harbor period voted isoationis has in gen. eral fopped Several attempts have been made to list the voting records of individual congressman on Lend Lease repeal of the neutrality act the draft bill and similar measures and to put over the idea that con- who voted against these propositions should be defeated. The record of the primary elections, which began last April has failed to show any appreciabe sentiment against the isoationiss There is reay more resentment against votes for Xgas ration cards and pensions for congressman How National Committees
 Put Forth Their Claims
 As for the claims of the Democratic and Republican National Committees, you take your choice.
 Say the Republicans "This war can be shortened and the day victory brought by the election of
 Republican Congress- Our soldiers can be quickly armed and equipped by Republican Congress. And, when the war is over, better, more lasting, more equitable peace be guaranteed by the election of Republican Congress"
 Say the Democrats: |. (. destiny has charged Democratic administration and a Democratic Congress with leadership in the great emergency That leader ship must be continued if we are to function under full head of steam"
 The only remarkable thing about either of these statements is that politicians apparently haven't learned that the voters are too smart to believe either of them
 The really amazing thing about this election is that there has been less political speechmakng by the candidates in their districts than before Congress has been kept the job in the last few weeks pitching in Washington instead of spouting from every stump at home As you walk to the polls to cast your vote on Nov B. the thing to decide whether you voting for incumbent who will keep pitching in these past few weeks or whether the other fellow will pitch better for you.

running for re- election.

running for reelection.
 Despite the low ebb of congress sional repute, the 21 primary cas- ualties for all parties were not ab- normal. Primary voting in most States was light and the people seemed to have demonstrated their feelings toward Congress by stay ing away from the polls.
 Republican aNtional Chairman Joseph Martin, who is also minority leader of the House, predicts that the "big six" states of Massachu- sets, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and California-all of which voted for President Roosevelt in 1940-will swing to the COP CO., umn in gubernatorial and senator iSl voting.
 Predicts Other Gains
 With the shift of these states, Martin believes, will come a dozen or so House seats. Additional Re- publican seats will be picked up throughout the East. Midwest and West, he predicts.
 Democratic leader of the House Speaker Sam Rayburn and Major ity leader John w. Mccormack, D., Mass, will not be surprised to sec Republican gains.
 But they confidently expect to hold control of the House and prl- vately have estimated probable Re- publican gains at about IS seats.
 Both Democratic leaders, like Martin, express the belief that the final division of the House will be turned by popular reaction to the war effort since Labor Day.
 As The News Goes
 If the war news is good thia month, experts in both camps be- lieve the Republican gains will be the minimum. If the fighting in Russia. Africa and the South Pa cific should turn sharply againsl the United Nations, the maximum Republican gains may be made. Democrats now hold 264 seats iI
 the House. Thirteen of these in. cumbents have been defeated ii primaries but since the districts 1T question may remain Democratic as in the southern states, these de- feats cannot be counted as Repub' lican gains.
 Republicans have l66 seats. Pro

 Gain ' Seats In The Senate

Limited Press Stan COrreSpondent)
 Washington, Oct. 30-(UP)-The November elections will leave the Democrats in control of the Senate, put the Republicans may reduce the majority party's present strength which now stands better than two to one.
 The Democrats now have 65 seats ko 29 for the COP, with one each occupied by a Progressive and h. dependant.
 with only one third of the Sen- ate membership - 32 seats - to be filled for the full, siX-year term, the Democrats already are assured ot seven. for in that many southern states Democratic candidates are unopposed.
 More Southern Vacancies
 Tn seven other southern states, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, New Mexico Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia where there are ! contests, Republicans traditionally are st a serious, if not hopeless, dis advantage.
 Of the 32, full-term senatorial nests to be filled this year 3 are held by Democrats, eight by Repuo- licans and one by Senator George Norris, Nebraska independent
 Despite the initial edge held oy the Democrats because of their gouthern strength. Republican suokesmen recently claimed even. to better than even, chances to retain those seats now held, plus seven more.
 Those seven included one four wear. unexpired term in Nevada, Norris seat and the remainder in South Dakota. Iowa, Colorado and wyoming. They pointed out that Norris. for the first time in years faces both Democratic and Repub- Ilean oppoltion and that the Demo cratic candidate may draw OH some df Norris normal strength.
 But despite their public claims Republican leaders have intlmated privately that if they can add nye Snaks 10 their present holdings they wiil be well satisfied.

 Many experts believe, however, that the three minor party candi- dates may receive enough votes to influence the outcome of the New York election. The present Gov ernor, Herbert H. Lehman, who is not a candidate for reelection, had both Democratic and American Labor Party support in 1888 and defeated Dewey by only 64, 400 votes.
 Result To Be Significant
 President Roosevelt backed Sen ator James Mead for the Demo- cratic nomination but it went in- stead, in a bitter contest, to Ben- nett, the candidate of former Demo- cratic National Chairman James A. Farley. MT. Roosevelt has announc- ed that he will support Bennett.
 Many political observers believe that if Dewey wins the contest with Bennett he will have taken a long step toward becoming the Republi- lican nominee for President in l944' If Bennett is elected. Farley is ex- pected to control New York'S A delegates to the Democratic Nation al Convention in 1944, and be in position to fight MT. Roosevelt.
 A close contest also appeared to be in prospect in California where Gov. Culbert L. Olson, incumbent Democrat, will be opposed by Earl Warren, Republican attorney gen eral. In the primary Warren, run ming on both the Republican anc Democratic tickets, polled l.404, ,75S votes to 513,144 for Olson. who ran only on the Democratic ticket. Also on the California ballot are Freo Oyster, Prohibition. and N. T. jPor- ter. Townsendite

House Results Said To Hinge
 On War News
BY JAMES R. SHEPLEY United Press Staff COrrespondent)

Washington, - (UP0 - Repub- licans are generally expected to gain strength in the House in the November elections but the extent of these gains may be determined by last-minute war developments.
 A gain of 52 seats would give Re- publicans majority in the House over Democrats but few Republican leaders in the House expect their gains to be that great, barring some unforeseen, last-minute trend III their favor.
 Republican and Democratic lead CTS alike conceded that Congress IS in bad favor with the public in tke first year of the nations participa- ton in World War II.
 Both Parties Blamed
 Neither side can find much to it's advantage in this situation, Con- gressional pensions, the "X' gaso- line ration cards that members of Congress drew. the rising cost of living have had the effect of tarring Republicans and Democrats in Con- gress with the same brush, leaders of both parties believe.
 Democrats have seen 13 incum- bents defeated in the primaries. Republicans only seven. But there were nearly 100 more Democrats
