That brought the 10-day tatal to 40 enemy ships hit and the total for the Solomons campaign to 55—32 sunk or damaged and 23 probably damaged.) But the big news was the report of the damage inflicted on Japan's powerful fleet sent to blast the Americans out of the water around the Solomons. It was the first major naval action since vice Admiral William J. Halsey took over ~ command in the Southwest Pacific. In his report to Commander-in-Chief, U. S. Fleet, Ernest J. King, Halsey detailed: Four to six heavy bomb hits nn an aircraft carrier of the Zuikaku class.

membership of 96 comes up for re-election every two years, there is no practical possibility of the G. O. P. winning the upper house this time. The Democratic margin there has been so great since the first, New Deal landslide of 1932 that, with always assured victories in the South, the Democrats still are impregnable. With every house seat up this year there is the possibility that trends or circumstances undetected by polls and other samplings of public opinion might shift. power from one party to another. take over the house in the new congress meeting in January the Republicans must win 52 seats tomorrow, and that is a large order. New York's gubernatorial contest is attracting national attention because Dewey's election would put him far into the running for the

ination, and on the Democratic side, election of Benneft would assure James A. Farley of continued control of the machine. With Farley running the party in New York, the state's big 1944 national convention delegation would oppose a fourth term nomination for Mr. Roosevelt and would put up a fight to name a regular Democratic party ticket from which 100 per cent New Dealers would be excluded. Mr. Roosevelt vigorously opposed Bennett’s nomination but finally announced that he wanted him elected.

Fritcion Among G. O. P.

There is friction among New York Republicans, too. Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential nominee, opposed Dewey's nomination for governor and only day before yesterday got around to announcing that he would vote for Dewey and the Republican ticket in tomorrow’s election. Politicians also are watching the third term race of John W. Bricker for Ohib’s governorship because his record is Judged by numerous Republicans to ‘warrant him being classed as a real 1944 presidential possibility. The New Jersey Democratic machine of Mayor Prank Hague of Jersey City, and the Kelly-Nash combination which controls. the Democratic party in Illinois, are figuring largely in this election. They have been closely aligned with the administration. }

British Hold Gains

It was increasingly evident that the enemy was feeling the force of the British blows. That was testified by his inability to get a through-going counter-attack underway on a typical Nazi scale, Although Rommel has hit back time after time since the offensive opened nine days ago, he has not succeeded in driving the allies out of an important objective they have taken. But allied observers and leaders were acutely aware that their forces still had not made a complete break-through, and until ‘that is achieved, the attack will not have succeeded 100 per cent.

Old-Style Pot

Of Coffee Urged |

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. (U, P).— Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia’s advice on how to get two cups of coffee a day when the ration allows only one: Put up your percolator for the duration and buy an old-fashioned coffee pot. ‘Just take a spoonful a cup— that's pretty strong,” he said on the radio yesterday. “Let it come to a boil for a very short time, then set it aside and let it settle. Also strain the coffee in serving it. I wouldn’t throw away the grounds, if anyone in the family is accustomed to having coffee for his midday or evening meal. “Just adding a sprinkle on top of the old grounds will make a very good cup of coffee for the evening.” La Guardia said he had learned the trick from housewives in Arizona, where he lived when he was

. a boy. They recommended using

the grounds over and over again. He said their slogan was, “Never wash your coffee pot,” but he didn’t believe the coffee shortage was that severe yet.
