There was no immediate word on
British losses in the Monfalcone at
tack, but one Allied plane was lost
in the daylight operations, involv-
ing some LOO sorties.
Five German planes were destroy
ed during dusk attack on an Al
lied convoy off the North African
coast last night. Another Nazi plane
was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire
yesterday and two others were be-
lieved to have been destroyed in at
tacks on Anzio harbor and the
beachhead front.
Several German combat patrols
attempted to infiltrate the Allied
beachhead positions around Aprilia
but they were cut down by Allied
mortar and artillery fire, suffering
relatively heavy casualties. Long
range guns on both sides duelled
sporadically across the battle lines
On the main 5th army front, the
Germans also attempted a small
scale attack against the Allied lines
in the hills north Of Casino, but
were dispersed after a brief clash.
Nazi artillery pounded the Allied
held part of Casino and the neigh
boring hills, and Allied gunnera
countered effectively.

Because of adverse weather and
absence OF major contests, the vot-
Ing was the lightest for an Illinois
primary since 1926, with only about
one OF three registered voters cast
ing ballots.
The Republican organization slate
headed by Governor Dwight Green
swept to victory In the contests for
state Offices
Incomplete unofficial returns from
the states 8,728 precincts included:
Republican
President 7,183 precincts) Mac.
arthur 426,851, Bender, 29,447.
Senator 7,308 precincts) Lyons

Governor (7,205 precincts) Green
473,563, Oscar Carlstrom 1892
CongresSman-at-large 1884 pre-
c1ncts) Rep. Stephen A. Day 284,8l8,
Col. Edward Davis Eats.
Democrat
Senator 1886 precincts) Sen.
Scott Lucas 454,2O7.
Governor (6,566 precincts) Thomas
E. Courtney ass, 1863.
CongreSSman-at-large $500 pre-
cincts) Mrs. Emily Taft Douglas
311,794.
Republicans hailed the voting as
significant because their totals
topped the Democrat primary fig
ures for the first time since 1882.
Democratic leaders said the figures
indicated a triumph for their party
in November because Of the size Of
the totals rolled up by the unop-
posed Democratic candidates.
Mayor Edward j. Kelly, Of Chi
cago, head Of the city,s Democratic
organization. said the primary was
an overwhelming, smashing smoth-
ering victory and evidence Of pub
lie support for Presidnt Roosevelt.
Gov. Green said "the larger pro-
portion Of Republican votes is GER
tain augury Of Republican victory
In Illinois next November"
In the primary contests for dis
trict congressman, all q Republican
and Democratic if1cumbents appar-
emily were nominated for new terms.
Rep. Adolph SABBATH, Chicago, was
renominated for congress but was
defeated for war committeeman, a
post which he had held for As years.
Rep. Jessie Sumner, Milford, H..
was nominated for another term
with little opposition.
Most of the so national conven-
ton delegates elected by each party
were unpledged to any particular
candidate.
The presidential preference voting
in Illinois merely is advisory and
Is not binding on the convention
delegates.

S. Passage of seven appropriation
bills, including the operating funds

One of the principal threats to
such program was the prospect OF
a senate filibuster on the admins
tration's bill to eliminate the poll
tax now assessed in eight southern
states, as prerequisite to voting.
Southern senators have defeated
such efforts in the past by filibus-
ter which tied up legislation until
the poll tax repeater was laid aside.
They were determined to use the
same tactics again.
The administration also faced a
tough fight on the OPA extension
bill. It was conceded that congress
eventually will approve continual
ton of price control and rationing
but only after another bitter fight
over the consumer subsidy program.

Do you have poor digestion?
Do you feel hsadachy after eating?
Do you get sour or upset easily?
Do You feel ed-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good

it properly. But what most people don't
know Is that Nature must produce about
two pints Of the digestive juice--liver
II Nature fails, your food may remain un-

Thus, it is simple to see that one wayto
aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now, Carter Little Liver Pills
start to increase this flow quickly for
thousands-often in as little rs thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're
on the road to feeling better-.which is
what you're after.

ARMY-NAVY GAME
STILL A PROBLEM

BALTIMORE, Nov. 10. - H -
Baltimore, which hit the big bon
ANA of 1914 football with the trans.
fer of the Army-Navy game here,
found today it had been tossed a
slightly hot potato-or at least
those Baltimoreans whose out OF
town friends are football addicts
believe so.
With the announcement in Wash
ington that tickets would be sold
for $3.50 plus war bond-in the
Baltimore area only, the long dis
lance lines began to warm up.
BY nightfall it was evident that
if all the persons who want to
see the December 2 service tilt
were to get tickets, the local citi-
zers could have to move out OF
town to make room for them.
One Baltimore businessman said
he had received nine long distance
calls from five different states
from friends who wanted him to
get blocks of tickets for them.
Meanwhile, preparations were
being made to enlarge the seating
capacity of the Baltimore stadium
from it's present $4,000 with tenn
porary bleachers) to about IS, 600.
BY the looks of things, though,
the local horseshoe wouldn't begin
to accommodate all those who want
to buy the necessary war bond and
ticket even if it could be enlarg-
ed to seat 100000.
