' CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept.
. (API Under Secretary of
War
Robert P. Patterson said here to
day that the nation's tank pro
duction had reached "an Impres
sive figure," and that the nation
turned out more war planes last
month than Germany, Japan and
Italy combined. Patterson added
thut tank production would be
doubled in December and "we are
putting our best efforts Into
bringing out new planes of de
signs far superior to any that we
have now."
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."

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

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

states by Wlliiam L. Flnley, nationally-
known conservationist,
who, in a brief talk, stressed the
urgent need of protection of nat
ural resources. He scored the
pollution of rivers by uncontroll
ed sewage and the increase of
dams. The spring runs of Chi
nook salmon, greatest of all our
food fishes, he declared, were
threatened with extinction, and
steelheads lacked proper protect

He summed up the reason for
lack of proper wildlife conser

much politics and not enough
business."
