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."
Bomb Planted as Joke
Causes Worker's Arrest
NEWARK, N. 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.
On a dried grass pad with a
wind of three miles per hour, 85.3
per cent of all cigarettes tossed
away ignited the grass. The aver
age time for ignition was five
minutes.

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. J
