. DAYTON, O. (U. P.).—Using an electronic instrument which can distinguish between 2,000,000 shades of color, the materials laboratory of ‘the army air forces here is studying ‘the possibility of obtaining standardization of colors through the use of color curves produced by the device, instead of using colored chips or samples. The latter fade under different temperatures and handling . conditions and, it is said, cannot be relied upon to give the same shade of colors at all times. The instrument being used is a photoelectric ~_ spectrophotometer, . produced by General Electric engineers.

ROMMEL LOSES HEAVILY IN AIR

6 Troop Transports Among 23 Enemy Planes Downed

- Over Desert.

By LEON KAY United Press Staff Correspondent

CAIRO, Nov. 12 (U, P.).—The British 8th army neared Tobruk today in its deadly pursuit of the shreds of Marshal Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps, and an imperial

communique reported that allied planes shot down 23 axis aircraft yesterday, including at least six big troops transports. : Earlier front-line reports said American and British. fliers shot down 22 axis planes yesterday, almost completely destroying formations Rommel had put into the air in a desperate effort to slow the advance.

the 23 reported in the communique and those mentioned in the front reports were duplications.

Bomb Transport Columns

Allied fighters and fighter-bomb-ers attacked dense axis transport concentrations without let-up yesterday between Bardia and Gambut and on the Tobruk by-pass. Allied bombers blasted Tobruk,

Rommel Tuesday night, and besides Tunis, bombed the island of Sardinia, axis base off Tunisia, for the third successive night. Ten planes failed to return from all operations, the communique said. The victorious eighth army, advancing at lightning speed, still was capturing numbers of prisoners in Libya.

The elephant hunters were joined by state police in four squad cars and more than 50 volunteers. But Modoc escaped through the sycamores along the Wabash river. At 10 p. m. the volunteers were called back because Jacobs believed they excited Modoc. Jacobs said Modoc always had been -well-be-haved and “good-natured.” Jacobs, Chief Gurtner and a handful of searchers continued the elephant hunt.
