WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (P) The navy announced today that American troops on Guadalcanal island in the Solomons had ad vanced their western flank well into territory formerly held by the Japanese. A communique said that the advance, made by army and marine forces, had carried the western peg of the American -line to a point about five miles ' west of the vital airfield on '' Guadalcanal and about one mile west of the Matanikau river, formerly the boundary of the American position. Minor Activity Generally reflecting a new Outburst of land activity on the Island, following last week's naval victories, the communique also reported that American pa trols had advanced an outpost line on which flank was not stated and about 35 Japanese were killed while American forces suffered few casualties. , : The advance to the west was made on November 18, the ad vance of the outpost line was on November 19, and on No vember 21, which was yester day, Guadalcanal time, ground ' forces were reported engaged In "minor activity," but aircraft carried out 11 attack missions . against enemy Installations on the island.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 UP) The German radio said today that Marshal Rommel's Africa corps had escaped entrapment by the British 8th army and that after receiving reinforcements of guns and tanks is "deployed in full fighting strength in thor oughly prepared and strongly fortified positions of consider able depth." This broadcast, did not specify where Rommel had established his positions, but the reference to fortifications in depth might have indicated the El Agheila ared. "Detaching the axis forces from allied troops unnoticed by the- enemy may now be consid ered successfully concluded," the radio said. Injured According to word received from Ashland, a man giving his name as A. O. Roberts of Klamath Falls, suffered ser ious injuries when his car went over an embankment on the Pa cific highway Sunday near Ash land. He is reported improving in the valley city. WATCH TOR THE 'A E J (Continued From Page One) allied tanks and 18 armored cars had been destroyed and a rail road station seized east of Ta barka, near the Algerian border. Gabot Foothold Another German report said one fighting French column had been thrown back to the Eunl- sian frontier in the south while others, near Bcja, 53 miles west of Tunis, and Mejez El Dab. 30 miles west of Tunis, were bombed as they marched to join the main forces. The Algiers radio said the Germans were trying to set up another foothold on the Gulf of Gabes, in eastern Tunisia, but that the French had repulsed a new landing attempt and cap tured some Germans in an en- gagement northwest of the Port of Gabes. German reports, quoting V lied sources in Spanish Morocco, said the allies were in the area of Hammamet, on the coast be tween Gabes and Tunis, and that a fighting French-American col umn moving in from the south had reached Foriana, on the railway line to Souse, and Gafsa, on the railroad to Sfax. Struggle for Air One allied vanguard was placed only 23 miles southeast of Tunis, five miles closer than other forces closing around both enemy strongholds. The struggle for air suprem acy apparently was unfolding as one of the keys to Hitler's whole fading grasp on North Africa. The German-controlled Paris radio said allied air forces again blasted airfields last night inside the axis-held areas. It also was the source of a report of- more German and Italian troops ar riving In Tunisia. , EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) and probably doesn't have a great deal of use for Hitler. But don't get too much excit ed over his alleged opinions. Dis agreements between Hitler and his generals have been frequent ly reported before, but the Ger man war machine still shows no. signs of beginning to break up. . JTJONT believe that Germany WON'T crack up. She did before, and may again. Two thousand years ago Tacitus, the first educated and cultured ob server of the Germans, noted that the Teutonic tribes were good fighters as long as they were winning but didn't stand up in the face of defeat. ERMANY may crack up, but the crack-up won't begin until the German armies defi nitely taste defeat. The allied lob is to put the taste of defeat into their mouths. Until that task is accom plished, they will go on fighting efficiently. TJOT and apparently FINAL fighting for Buna is on in New Guinea. The Americans and the Australians are within a few miles of the Buna beach head, and today's dispatches say the Japs show no signs of evac uating it. If they lose Buna, they will be in a fair way to lose ALL of New Guinea. From 12:30 NAZIS P N HDP ON BIZERTE 111 FOOTBALL (Continued From Pa Be One) Princeton 7; Army 40. Michigan 7, Ohio State 14.

The sight of a prisoner on the island is an oddity, Peterkin stated, for "almost no prisoners are taken by either side." "When the Japs rush, they yell in English, "Blood for the emperor; come out, marines. you're licked.' There seems to be - a lot of American-educated Japanese among the snipers. They re always shouting in Eng lish from the trees." But the marines don't take the Japs' word for it that the leathernecks are licked, Peter kin said. Instead, the devil dogs have an easy job cleaning up the Japs, and now' there is a saying on Guadalcanal that "the Japs -fight for their- lives, but the marines fight for souvenirs." Among the souvenirs taken from Jap bodies were a number of revolvers "made in Connec ticut." (Connecticut m a n u facturers j suggested, as a possible explan ation, that if Japs killed on Guadalcanal, previously had been in the Philippines they would have had a good chance of capturing American pistols there.)

Safety Council Says Traffic Accidents Showing Decrease Accidents in Klamath Falls have decreased from last year's amount, a report from Sam Ritchie, chairman of the traffic safety council shows. Fatalities thus far have de creased from five during last year to two this year. Accidents reported this year number 648 as compared with 960 during the same period last year. The month of October showed better than 50 per cent decrease in ac cidents over the same month last year. Although the decrease is due in part to the curtailed use of automobiles, the council cautions drivers and pedestrians to use the greatest of care during win ter weather conditions which In crease driving hazards.
