SOLOMONS FIGHT
 NOT NAVY SHOW
War Secy StimsOn Says Joint Army, Navy Plan
 Used

Washington, Oct. 29.-(UP)-Sec- retary of War Henry L. Stimson said today that the raging battle of the Solomon Islands, once described as navy show by Gen. Douglas MacArthur'S headquarters, was the result of plans agreed to by the joint Army and Navy chiefs of staff. Asked at a press conference wheth- CT the undertaking was purely a Navy venture, Stimson said it was not in his province to comment on developments in the Solomon Islands except to say:
 Decision to launch the Solomon Islands operation was made by the joint chief of staff in accordance with an agreed upon plan and was not purely naval decision"
 Rep. John M. Costello, D., Calf, in the first Congressional criticism of the Solomons campaign two weeks ago. said he feared that the Navy had tried to make 6 "grandstand play" and had not called upon the Army for help early enough in the battle.
 Latest reports from the battle area contained in a Navy communique yesterday. said that the U. s. forces had inflicted very heavy losses" on the enemy and that American losses were comparatively light.
 Both A. -ly and Marine forces are engaged in the fight on Guadalcanal, present focal point of the Solomons struggle. The presence of Army troops was first revealed by stimson

Socialists Names Not to GO On Official l04z
 Ballots

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 2o.-UP)- The ruling of Secretary of State Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse strik- ing the names of 24 Socialist and endorsed Republicans from the state election ballot next Tuesday was upheld today in a decision by Superior Court Judge Samuel Mel- litz.
 Judge Mellitz, issuing decision within 24 hours after the hearing on a writ of mandamus, said the Socialist candidates for congress, state senate, representatives and judges of probate could not be on the ballot unless their nominations conformed to the statutes.
 The statutes provided that candi- dates must file petitions, or must have had one-half of one per cent of thet otal vote cast in their dis tricts in the previous election.
 Judge Mellitz overruled the secre- tary of state on two Of the represen- tative nominations at Norwich. He said James Mccarthy and Edward Michonski, Norwich Social s ts, should be placed on the ballot be- cause they filed a Joint petition, which he said was in order. The secretary of state previously ruled the joint petition was not legal, and specified each candidate must have an individual petition.

ROMMEL TANKS
 THROWN BACK
British ArmOred Forces, U. s. Air Units Smash
 Axis in Africa
BY LEON KAY limited Press Staff COrresnondentl

NOAAAVGW q AS0D O0WA SVAAVDPVhuVhNI
 Cairo, Oct. 29 - (U.P) - British armored forces have thrown back the vaunted desert tanks of Mar shal Erwin Rcmmels Afrika Korps in new engagements on the Ala nein line, a communique said today.
 Allied air forces, with American units carrying Q major part of the attack, scored new victories over the desert front, smashing at Axis troop and supply concentrations and ranging over the Mediterran- can to sink large tanker of the coast.
 Brisk fighting was in progress in Rommel's forward lines, where Brit ish infantrymen were picking their way through Q maze of mines and Notifications and mopping up breaches they had already created in the we'll prepared Axis defenses.
 An enemy counter attack against British positions within the mine fields was beaten off Tuesday night, the communiQue said, and yesterday further tank engagements developed resulting in new losses for the Axis forces which had been hurled back in the first arrnored clash of the campaign Tuesday.
 Lieutenant General B. L. Mont- gomery's Polyglot British Eighth Army was inching forward careful ly, feeling out its ground before per- hitting the new battle of Egypt to develop into expected mo- quarter all out fight.
 Both sides were exhibiting more than normal caution at the mo- ment, partially because of the heavy concentrations of troops on the 40- mile battle line and partially be- cause both intend this campaign to be decisive.
 The British attacks in the north and center of the Alamein line ap- peared to have made a promising start. Only in the south, toward the impossible Qattara Salt Bog, had 1t faltered. The exceptional resist ance of the British were meeting in the south was regarded here a ma jor reason why the general plan of attack was not developing more rapidly.

 Hollywood, October 29. - (UP) - The federal edict limiting net salaries after taxes to $25,000 a year hit Hollywood today, from top star to lowly bookkeeper, be- tween eyes and hard. The accountants were worrying about how they'd figure sal aries to match the net, the stars about how they'd get by on s25,O00 annually and the rest of the town about what would happen to the movies trick contractural rela- tionships.
 Most of the big-time actors pro- fessGd confusion and hesitated to talk for publication. Others were non- -committal, while some, like Bing Crosby, said they'd not let q matter like money worry them.
 Crosby, wnose salary in 1041 totaled S400,64O. said he'd obey the law and gladly. r,

 Authorities here said American forces on Guadalcanal were badly outnumbered. It was estimated that the Japanese land forces on the island numbered between 13,0o0 and 10000 including 10000 troops known to have been landed Oct. 21.
 The enemy was flying his planes from nearby Rabaul and Buka, which in turn were being supplied from Japanese-held Truk Island, ill the Carolines, site of huge Japa- nese base. The Americans, con- trarily, were forced to depend large ly on the airpower now available in the Guadalcanal area. Despite this, box scores of aerial battles over the island indicated that the American pilots were much more than holding their own.
 Navy and Marine flyers arriving here from Guadalcanal emphasized the necessity for endorsements of supplies and equipment to battle the numerically superior Japanese.
 They urged that more planes, more shore batteries and quantities of motor torpedo boats be sent im- mediately to Guadalcanal.
 "They can hold if they can get some stuff in there," Lieut.. David Richardson, 28, of Meridian, Miss, an executive officer of a navy fight ing squadron, said. Those Marines are really tough and they are in excellent condition. I'll lay may bet with them"
