Praising the type of men In the armed forces, their training, equipment and leadership, the un der secretary declared the Japa nese "already know that they blundered when they counted on Americans being soft, selfish and easy-going." ."Our soldiers can take it and they can hand It out," he added. "They are men resolved to win this war." Patterson said that in speed, range, toughness of armor and hitting power, the U. S. medium tank "is superior to the best Ger man tank" as "proved In combat in Egypt." Combat records also, he de clared, have proved the Curtlss P-10 Hawks better than the Japa nese zero plane. Performances of American heavy bombers were "Impressive" on all battle fronts, the undersecretary said, and in pursuit ships, the Republic P-47 Is superior In the air." Riddle RIDDLE, Sept. 10.

In this deep Caucasus region, the Germans had advanced with in less than 50 miles of the Grozny oil fields and more than half way down the land bridge to the middle east, but it was apparent that they were running into stiffened resistance. In the northwest Caucasus, the Russians acknowledged the fall of the Black sea naval base at Novorossiski, 70 miles below the Kerch strait, and indicated that the Red armies were withdraw ing toward. the port of Taupse, 75 miles farther down the coast. Bitter fighting continued on the central (Moscow) front, where the Rusians reported they were storming "the outskirts of a large inhabited locality" pre sumably the key German base at R.hev, 135 miles northwest of Moscow. Nazis Threaten Revenge In the western air war, Ger many bitterly threatened repris als for the RAF's devastating as sault on Duesseldorf, asserting that the luftwaffe would deliver counter-raids surpassing the Blitz krieg on Britain in the winter of 1340-41. "We shall not fail to give the answer to our enemy," a nazi air force spokesman said in a broad cast, and declared that heavy new German bombers would strike back "on an unprecedented scale." Despite the German threats, the British said there was no sign of increased nazi aerial activity overnight. Only a few enemy planes flew over the coast. On the Egyptian front, British headquarters reported artillery battles on the southern sector of the 3.r)-mlle El Alamein line, 80 miles west of Alexandria, but said there was little ground fight ing.

JAP DESTROYER OFF NEW GUINEA SET AFIRE GENERAL MACARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Austin lia, Sept. 12. (API Allied bombers, including a number of flying fort resses, slashed at Japanese supply lines on land and sea in the New Guinea war theater yesterday, setting one enemy destroyer afire and leaving her to sink, as both sides reorganized their forces for a showdown battle on the road to Port Moresby. The destroyer was observed sinking by the stern with life rafts and Japanese sailors in the water about her after the allied bombers finished their attack off Normanby Island, a communi que said. The bombers also scored a "very near miss" on a second destroyer, which was believed to have been damaged. Normanby Island is north of Milne bay on the southeastern tip of New Guinea, where a Japa nese invasion force was ambush ed and destroyed recently. All of Friendly Service Means a Lot!
