Japan, Russia Draw Near Border Warfare (Continued from page 1.) less than (0 miles from Port Moresby, antl .after losing more than 1,000 killed and wounded since July 22, were now heading for a pass in the towering Owen htaniey range. A United Nations communique said the enemy had pushed back allied vanguards In the Kokoda sector and reached the Mvola region, (i.000 feet above sea level, ihout eight miles south of Kokoda ami below the gap leading through the mountains. more frontal attacks, had been compelled to retreat and that Ger man troops flowed Into the gap. Then, ut mid day, the Russian command announced that massed German frontal assaults, attempt ing to deepen the wedge, had been repulsed In fierce fighting. South of the Imperilled metrop olis, soviet troops struck out at the axis, destroyed a Rumanian headquarters, killed 80 Rumanian officers and men, and blew up seven ammunition trucks. Nazis Gain In Caucasus In the western Caucasus, the situation remained acute. Soviet accounts acknowledged that the Germans had wedged deeper into Russian lines on the approaches to the Black sea na val base at Novorossisk. The German high command, which announced the capture of the base Sunday, said 0,758 Rus sians had been taken prisoner in the battle for the city s fort and harbor but admitted that fighting was still in progress around the seaport "with the enemy troops bitterly defending themselves." Deeper in the Caucasus, the nai command said the Russians made an unsuccessful counterat tack along the Terek river, just above the Grozny oil fields, and asserted that G5 of ' 100 soviet tanks In the assault had been destroyed.. Rommel Plans New Blow Egypt Linked with Wendell L. Willkie's statement that Marshal Rommel had suffered a heavy blow, dispatches from Cairo said the axis chieftain was now re grouping his battered main forces near the starting-point of his ill fated second bid for the Nile val ley. Front-line reports said axis an ti-tank batteries were deployed In an apparent attempt to hold open a passage in the British mine fields on the southern sector of the 3!5-mile El Alamein line, 80 miles west of Alexandria. Allied planes, light tanks, ar mored cars and mobile guns maintained their pressure, hut there was still no Indication that British Gen. Alexander was plan ning a real counteroffensive. In London, Prime Minister Churchill told the house of com mons that the British Egyptian army was "now stronger actually and relatively than it ever has been" and expressed full confi dence "in our ability to maintain a successful defense of Egypt not for days or weeks but for several months ahead. Mr. Churchill also termed the recent arrival of convoy rein-, lorcements at Malta a guarantee of "life and resistance of the heroic fortress" for "a good many months to come." said, "'the whole economic svstem 'will stagger. Prices and wages will go up so rapidly that the en tire production program will be endangered. The cost of the war, nald bv taxnavers. will tumu be yond all present calculations. It will mean an uncontrollable rise in prices and in wages which can result in raising the over all cost of living as hiiih as another 20 per cent." Overall stabilization of prices, salaries, wages and profits is nec essary to the continued increas ing production of Dlanes and tanks and ships and guns."

J.Sopt. 8 -(APj Discovery of a powerful time bomb in the Western Electric company's vast Kearny plant was disclosed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation today with the arrest of an employee who sup posedly had fount! it. E. E. Conroy, assistant FBI dir ector, said the bomb was turned over to company guards by Ber nard Joseph O'Donnell, 21, of Tea neck. Had the bomb exploded In a strategic spot it could have killed 100 persons. O'Donnell was charged with at tempted sabotage, but the pris oner protested he had made and planted the bomb only as heroics and to demonstrate that it could be done. this damaging cycle last night.- German bombers made their appearance over England last night, planes being noted over East Anglia, the home., counties and London. But a communique stated that the few bombs drop ped caused slight damage. One person was reported Injured. Flares were dropped in the Lon don area, but heavy anti aircraft tire drove off the planes before bombs were released. One Invad ing bomber was reported destroyed. Annual rural property loss from fire is G5 per cent of the en tire national fire loss. Boys and girls of the Oregon Green Guard are out to reduce local losses to field, farm and forest.

"I cannot tell," he said at an other K)int, "what powers may have to be exercised in order to win this war." Warns On Inflation In his demand for legislative control over the cost of living, with particular emphasis on farm prices, the president gave solemn assurance that "failure to solve this problem here at home antl to solve it now will make more difficult the winning of this war."

Not this time! Many veterans of the last A. E. F. will remem ber how they traveled to the eastern seaboard in coaches, and through France in tiny freight cars with the legend "40 Hommes, 8 Chevaux" painted on the side. "Forty men, eight horses." It's not that way this time. Now the U. S. rail roads are moving a great many more of our fighting men in sleeping cars than in the last war. And these men have clean bedding and porter service. This is one of the reasons why you may not al ways be able to get just the Pullman accom modations you want. So far the difficulties of wartime travel here have been very minor ones, compared with other warring nations. We can all be thankful that we are living in a country where these problems can be worked out by sympathetic cooperation between a railroad and its cus tomers, and not by the orders of a dictator.
