FDR SEES MAJOR WIN
 IN AFRICA
President Says All United Nations Heartened by
 Victory in Egypt

WASHINGTON, Nov 6.---Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt today analysed the Allied campaign in North Africa as having the appear ance of victory in major propor- tions.
 He told newsmen at a conference that he thought the United States and all the United Nations have been pretty much heartened at what looks to be victory of major proportions in the Egyptian and Libyan area.
 Things seem to be going extremely well, he said, adding that there is not much news which has not ap- peared in the communiques already.
 In replying to question. he said that only small part of the equip ment used in the assault against Rommel's forces is of American origin.
 Responding to another inquiry on our operations on Guadal;anal, he said it couldn't be regarded as one of major proportions but the import ance of the operation couldn't neces- sarily be gauged by its extent.

Night Landings November } and 4 Result in U.
 5. Repulse Later

WASHINGTON, Nov. G. - The hard pressed Americ forces stabbed at bolstered Jap troops on Guadalcanal's broadening battle front in a two-pronged attack yes terday.
 The Americans pierced deeper on the flank and threatened another sector to the west of the island where the American-he airbase is being defended.
 Slay $50 Japs
 Marines and soldiers have made successful attacks on enemy posi- tions.
 The Navy reports the staying of $50 Japs and the capturing of l2 37mm artillery guns in the fight and three field pieces and 30 ma [ chine guns also were captured in the offensive drive November 3, which gained the American troops two miles of jungle.
 Americans Repulsed But a similar attempt to smash enemy concentrations east of the airfield on the following day was repulsed by Nipponese forces put ashore on the coast east of the American base five days ago under the cover of darkness. They were reinforced by additional night land ings November and 4.
 The Navy explains that it is apparently this strengthened force which the Americans attacked at dawn November and met what the Navy termed "an initial re- pulse"
 The communique added that the Marines are pressing their attack on these enemy troops"

Demands to Repeal Wage Hour Laws Come 10
 Front Today

WASHINGTON, Nov. G. Con- gressional demands to repeal the Wages and Hours and Wagner laws through real coalition of Con- ,ress sounded today as Senators and Representatives expressed their interpretations of the Republican election gains.
 Senator .O'Daniel introduced a bill to suspend the 4e-hour work week for the wars duration to help solve our manpower prob lem"
 In the House, Representatives Rankin and Rich demanded a re- peal of the Wage-Hour Law and the Wagner Labor Relations Act, and both called upon the Admin istration to oust the Communists in key positions"
 Senator Vandenberg said that the Republican gains represented a mandate by the people to pigeon hole New Dealism and all other politics" for the duration of the war.
 Senator Connally attributed Re- publican gains to nuhlic ir'~atierce over the prosecution of tho war and resentment against the gov- ernment bureaus.
 Republican leader Senator Mo- Nary of Oregon agreed with Con- nally, saying, mo issue of patrio- tism or unity was raised in the campaign" and asserting that the Administration has made enough mistakes and errors to justify the people calling it to account.

Axis Egyptian Forces Are En Complete Rout
5ta|in Says Lad of Second Front Opened
 Nazi Path 10 Russia

MOSCOW, Nov. 6.-Premier Jo- ,eph Stalin declared today that because of the lack of second front the Germans were able to break through the Russian lines in the west last summer in five months and advance about 300 miles.
 At the same time, however, the Soviet chief told those gathered for special meeting to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the Bolshe- vist revolution that never before has Russia been as strong n d as well organized on the home front.
 The through on the west, ne said, came after the Red Army had routed the Germans on the approaches to Moscow last win ter, but the Nazis are again being forced back as the Russians have seized the offensive for the second time.
 Nazis Concentrated Forces
 In connection with the second front, Stalin said that the Ger mans were able to concentrate on ne sector and take the initiative because the absence of a sec ond front in Europe enabled them to do it without risk to them selves
 The Soviet leader asserted that the Russians recently won possess sion of a German document show ing a Nazi plan that was never realized-to take Stalingrad by July 25, Saratov by August 9, Kubyshev by September IS, and Baku by September 29
 He added, the Germans are not strong enough to attack the south west and the north at the same time like they did last summer. but they are still strong enough to launch serious attack in one di- rection."

The W ashingtun Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON - With elections over, both political parties face a major problem of overhauling their high command. This will not be easy-especially for the Democrats Here is the dilemma they face.
 l.-The President isn't particular ly interested in politics, shouldn't be interested, needs to devote his whole time to the war. Yet he knows, and his party leaders know, that elections are not won in the last five minutes, but during months and years of advance preparation.
 2.--Meanwhile the President is building up no No. 2 man to take his place; the party machinery is running down; patronage on which party feeds has vanished; and most people believe Roosevelt could not be elected for a fourth term, even if he wants one, which close friends say he doesn't.
 Most immediate of the reorgani- zation problems is the selection of a new Democratic National Chair man. Ed Flynn, ex-boss of the Bronx, is not in good health, has the shadow of Belgian paving blocks over his shoulder, definitely will re- sign whether he becomes US. Am bassador to Mexico or not.
 To replace Flynn there has been some backstage talk of bringing back the old Jim Farley Chip Ro- bert crowd, which saw it's heyday around 1886. But that seems out of the question. Actually, Jim is too sore at the President, and vice versa, for them to function to- gether in any manner, shape or form-even though Jim was the most efficient politico ever around the White House.
 Furthermore, Farley will be asked by New York Young Democratic leader Harold Moskovit to step out of the chairmanship of the Demo- cratic Party in New York State, and give the state organization a chance to be revamped from the top down. A lot of people are urg- ing a similar organization for the Democratic Party nationally.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Presi- dent Roosevelt told the newsmen at the conference today he as- sumed that Congress was interest ed in winning the war just as he was.
 When asked whether the outcome of the balloting would make any difference in his attitude to Con- gress the President queried: Why should it." adding that he as- sumed Congress also wanted to win the war.
 His questioner went on to re- mark, however, what he wanted to know whether Roosevelt would now confer with both Republican and Democratic leaders about legisla- tive procedure.
 Roosevelt replied that he had been doing that.

Three fast armored divisions oi the British Eighth Army, led by Lieut.. Gen. Montgomery, have driven two wedges through Mar shal Erwin Rommers forces and are fighting inside the enemy po- sitions. it is reported from Cairo in todays late afternoon commit niqne
 The Axis High Command con- ceded today that the Allied of- fensive is nearing Matruh, 104 miles west of the old Fl Alamein battle line.

 Tanks are nipping at the heels of the Axis retreat in the Eldaba sector.
 The British communique said that portions of Rommel's armies have managed to escape the tank wedging and encirclement, and are said by Montgomery to be in full retreat.
 This situation of the deep tank thrusts and encirclement hammer ing the enemy into pursuit sug- gested that the fate of the Ger man and Italian north African Corps might be sealed before the portions could retreat across the Egyptian-Libyan border some l50 miles farther west.

Tee Hdrbor Youngsters Dig
Ancient Poison from
Swamp

Water hemiock, the poison plant
which put the sock in Socrates, al
most caused several Tee Harbor
school children to emulate the an
Gent Greek philosopher when they
unknowingly tasted the parsnip-
like root recently, the Admiralty
Division of the Forest Service re-
vealed today aSer identifying sam

The Tee Harbor children dug the
root in a swamp and ate parts of

enough to produce serious illness,
but several we're seized with con-
vulSions. as.
! Although commonly known as
water hemlock," the plant is a
member of the parsnip family,
Admiralty Supervisor Harold Smith
said. 1t is believed to be the same
plant fro mwhich the poison which
Socrates drank was derived.
Taken in sufficient Quantities, the
poison is deadly, as Socrates found
out in classic order. More recently,
it has been a common pest in
pastures and often has troubled
cattle and horses.
The plants scientific name is cit

to that of the carrot or parsnfp;
the oval-shaped bulb may be easily
identified when it is split open to
reveal the granny partitions which
divide the lower part of the bulb
into many sections. Long, CARROT
shaped roots anchor the bulb in
the ground.
