Washington. Nov. IS - (U.P9 - A companion of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, has been rescued un- der circumstances indicating there may be other survivors from among the eight men reported missing when Rickenbacker's plane was lost october q. the War Department re- vealed today.
 The department disclosed that Captain William T. Cherry. Jr., D.. S. A.. who was aboard the plane with the noted World War I flyer. was rescued November l2 in the South Pacific.

Douglas MacArthur re- ported today.
 Tn New Guinea, Australian troops wiped out the remainder of Jap- anese force entrenched In the Oivi- Gorari sector and were driving along Q jungle trail toward the enemys north coastal base at Buna. The spearhead of the Allied offensive was within less than 45 miles of Buna. American forces are thrust ing toward the base in another col- umn.

MERCHANT SHIP
 SURVIVORS SAFE

An East Coast Port, Nov. B -(U. P.) - A medium-sized Allied mer- chant ship was torpedoed and sunk by shellfire from an Axis submarine 56O miles off the northeast coast of South America early in October, survivors reported today.
 No lives were lost in the attack. Survivors said a single torpedo struck the ship amidships but it did not sink the vessel. The crew of 48 escaped in one lifeboat and mo- tor launch and was considering the possibility of rebcarding the vessel when the submarine surfaced, and shelled the ship until it sank.
 Survivors reached a South Amer ican port seven and half days after the attack. They arrived here by plane.

 DRIVE SUCCEEDS
Breaks Up New Nazi Drive On 'Stalingrad; Red Off,

(NEA Radiophoto)
By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent

Moscow, Nov. l3-(UP)-A pow erful flank drive by the Russians already has thrown new German offensive against Stalingrad out of gear and forced the NaZs to divert big forces to defense positions, bat tlefront dispatches said today.
 The new offensive ragged on today over frozen ground in sub-freezing weather, but the Germans appeared to have been checked and to have lost twice as much as they gained.
 Units of Ave German divisions, supported by dive bombers and tanks, opened the main thrust at 6 a. m. yesterday against the cen- tral sector of Stalingrads defenses.
 Other German forces simultane- ously attacked on all other sectors. Suffering heavy losses, the Ger mans managed to gain 100 to 200 yards on the central sector, but the Russians, in a counter drive on the northern sector, hurled the Ger mans back 400 yards.
 Hastily the Germans diverted big forces from the central sector and rushed them to the northern sector in an effort to contain the Russian advance, weakening their main drive.
 Meanwhile, the Russians were increasing the score on their side. Radio Moscow reported that they had taken a village northwest of Stalingrad, and Red army forces officially were reported to have taken two villages southeast of Nalchik, in the Caucasus.
 They destroyed ITO trucks. and retreating. the Germans transport begged down in roads transformed into mires by rain. They were re- ported burning them before the ad- vancing Russians could capture them.
 The noon communique report ed only artillery duels today south east of Nalchik, where Adol. Hit Ter had suffered another big de- feat trying to seize the Grozny oil fields and the Georgian military highway.
 Of the situation in Stalingrad the noon communique said:

Selection of New National Chairman May Have
 Bearing on Nomination

Washington, Nov. l3- (UP)- Prospective candidates for the l944 c. O, P. presidential nomination were battling behind the scenes to- day for favorable post positions through the selection of the new Republican national chairman.
 Party leaders who regard Wen deu L. Willkie, l940 standard bear CT. Governor -elect Thomas E. Dewey of New York. and Gov. John Bricker of Ohio as leading the field of presidential aspirants. said that so far none of the candidates was assured of enough votes to name the new chairman.
 House Republican Leader Joseph w. Martin. Jr. of Massachusetts, has announced he will resign at a special meeting of the national committee December 2 at St. Louis, in order to devote his entire time the added responsibilities resulting from the increased Republican House minority.
 Martin has held office since the l940 elections chiefly because he has been the only party leader ac- ceptable to all factions in the jockeying for position in prepara- ton for the next national cam paign.
 The national committee comprises iO6 members-two each from each of the 48 states plus additional members representing the District of Columbia, Alaska, the Philip pines and Puerto Rico. A majority of those attending the St. Louis meeting will be sufficient to name the new. chairman.
 A prominently mentioned suc- cesSor to Martin is Werner Schroe- der of Chicago. Schroeder. how ever, was said to be unacceptable to Willkie, who has been waging @ campaign to purge" his party of isolationisn ever since his defeat for president two years ago.

Ina surprising move, the name of State Comptroller John M. Dove was advanced as the candidate of the Old Guard big city group as candidate for chairman to succeed John T. Mccarthy, Newtown, who will resign in few days.
 Almost at the same moment, the new guard group, which has been out of power for the past two years. put forward the name of Town Court Judge Charles E. Mahoney, Windsor member of the state cen- tral committee, as their candidate.
 Tn Race For Votes
 The two factions were in swift race to collect a majority of the 70-odd votes on the committee be- fore Chairman Mccarthy called . meeting of the committee to an nounce his resignation. The. Dove move was surprising in that many party observers had not even re- motely considered him for the post,
 But his supporters pointed out that his home Windham county went Democratic in the recent party debacle on election day, and that he had 6 legitimate claim for con- sideration in the setting up of the new party machinery.

Berlin Admits Capture, Says Plans to Evacuate Made IA Days Ago

  Enemy Concentrations in North Africa Under Con. Stant Air Attack
BY LEON KAY

United Press staff COrrespOndenp
 Cairo, November 13.-UP) - The Middle Eastern com mand announced in a special communique today that To- bruk, Axis stronghold 75 miles inside >Libya, had been taken by the advancing Eighth Army. (Radio Berlin, quoting military circles, ad. mitted that Tobruk had fallen. It said preparations for its evacuation had been started IA days ago ard all military objects that could be moved had been taken for use later on at that place which has been selected by Marshal Erwin Rommel for his final position oi defense In Libya. What had to De left was destroyed, the broadcast said, quoting DNB News AgencyJ <
 Tonruk was greatest prize to far Into the eight's army'S hands since Marshal Erwin RommelS Atrika Korps was routed in Egypt. It has an especial significance for the 1m- perial army, because an Australian garrison made an historic stand there from May to December, ie4i.
 The British, when they drove to Fl Aghelia last December, relieved the garrison Subsequently, To- bruk was retaken by Rommel wher he drove back, almost to Alexandria only to be cut to ribbons and sent Into ,headlong retreat q few weeks ago by the British offensive.
 The capture of Tobruk was re- ported to have occurred at 9:30 ., m. Allied contact with the enemy rear guard was made in the El Adem area, i4 miles south of To. bruk, yesterday.
 Reports from 6 United Press cor respondent in the desert several days ago reported that the Axis rear guard was trying to evacuate Tobruk and apparently was burning it's stores.
 Tn an earlier communique, the middle eastern command had an- nounced the fall of Bardia, 60 miles east of Tobruk. Rommed was be- lieved to be more than li0 miles inside Libya in his flight toward Tripolitania.
 The recapture of Tobrlk set the seal of Gen. Sir Bernard L. Mont gomery's smashing North African victory and the eighth army raced the fleeing Axis armies across the desert toward Fl Agheila, 290 miles on direct line across the Lihyan hump.
 Fl Agheila offered the only na- tural defense line east of Tripolt, but the threat of the American forces in Algeria and the Allied air action in Tunis made 1t questionable whether Rommel's ragged army could afford to attempt to sand there.
 Delayed dispatch from a United Press correspondent in the desert put the vanguard of the 10000 men remaining in the Africa Korps be- yond Fl Tmimi Wednesday nio-csng. Tmimi is I40 miles inside Libya, and the fleeing Germans obviously are much farther west than that now.
 The middle eastern commands s communique reported that Allied had bombed and machine-gunnec enemy vehicle concentrations be- tween Fl Tmimi and Fl Gazala on Wednesday night.
 It said that yesterday Allied planes made low-flying attacks against en- emy columns west of Tobruk, and that barges sailing west had been attacked between Tobruk and El GaZala.
 This lent substance to reliable re- ports that the Germans for several days had frantically been trying ts
