 Flying fortresses, in the 18th straight day of attack on Japanese communications and bases between the mountains and Buna on the north coast, bombed the beaches and the airdrome of Buna. They destroyed two anti-aircraft batter ies and six barges.

 The Australians who took the lori baiwa ridge bad won Q victory of some moment, it was indicated, and for the present at least had removed the threat to Port Moresby, the great Allied advanced base on the south New Guinea coast.
 Lacking the jungle dress which had aided the Japanese in an ad- vance acroS sthe mountains, the Australians had adapted their equipment to the conditions they found and had improvised the cam ouflage necessary for jungle fight ing.
 They had taken, on Ioribaiwa ridge, a Japanese defense line strengthened by trenches, log bar riers and trip wires skilfully con- cealed in undergrowth along the only passable trails.
 They had used the enemy's own infiltrating and flanking tactics in forcing the Japanese back toward the hump of the mountains, and their capture of supplies and equip ment made the presnt enemy posi- tion even less enviable.
 It was indicated that the Austral- ianS might elect to hatl their drive on the Port Moresby side of the mountains, for the present at least because of the fantastic difficulty of supply.
 Even such things as artillery shells must be carried by hand over the mountain trails.

(Continued from Page 1) papers have bent over backward to comply with this request. but in the meantime, a real government cen- sorsfip has developed and the American people no longer are get- ting the whole truth about this war.
 .'The public has never been told all the truth about the Pearl HaS- bor disaster. A few days ago we were told about the loss of the Yorktown which was sunk in June. I am reliably informed that news of this loss was published in London weeks ago. How much more bad news is being withheld from us? We Americans are not children. We can take bad news. News of re- verses will only steel us to greater effort and determination. We want the truth and all the truth that can be given Io us without aiding our foes.
 ''Our party can render great service in protecting freedom of the press"
 On the prOSecuClOn OA LnS war; Gannett said:
 '1The people are losing confidence in its management and it is time that we began to find out why we are losing the war and who is to be blamed for the inefficient manage ment of our military forces.
 "I am telling you that when we get up and demand that the fail- ures be thrown out and men of abil- ity and experience be put in their places there will be 8 popular re- sponse.
 "If the voters in November will elect 8 Republican house, as I be- lieve they will, then we can check the New Deal follies, get rid of the inefdciency in our government, prosecute the war more vigorously and hasten the happy day when our boys will come back home"

 Argentina and Chile, the only two American nations that have not broken diplomatic relations with the Axis or declared war on it, concurred in the agreement.
 The deputies approved, 77 to 56, bill providing that the state of siege-allowing government control of what is printed in newspapers, broadcast or sent abroad for pub lication-be lifted. That bill went to the senate, where it had twice been rejected by the strong government majority.
 The resolutions do not have the force of law; they are merely ex- pressions of the deputies opinion, and will be sent to President Ramon s. Castillo as much.
 He has steadfastly insisted on the strictest neutrality. and was not ex- pected to change his course now.

Grand, one-quarter ton; Water bury Sewing Machine Supply Go. one ton; M. J. Hyland, 600 pounds; Al Rice, 300 pounds: Central Park ing Station, at least one ton; Kresge'S, one-Quarter ton; F.

 Phone Newspapers
 This is only drop in the bucket to the scrap that is lying about in the many homes and business establishments in this city. Anyone having scrap that cannot be col lected easily in the regular collec- tion manner is asked to phone The Democrat or The Republican, American so that special arrange ments can be made.
 Connecticut was cited for its quick response to Governor Rob- ert A. Hurley's plea for an inten- sive scrap metal drive throughout the statet by Richard w. Slocum, chairman of the Newspapers Unit ed Scrap Metal Drive.
 However, citations alone do not produce scrap. Every person in this city must take 1t upon himself to find every bit of scrap that he Is not using and turn it in on Oct. IT. the official collection day.
 Tomorrow 5000 Junior Com mandos, school children in the sixth, seventh and eight grades of all the public, parochial and pri- vate schools in this city, will start their scrap location campaign. They will call at every home in the city with cards to show how much scrap Is available in the household.
 COmmandOs
 The insignia of the Commandos will be a plastic button bearing the seal of the United States, 10000 of which were donated by the Water bury Button Co.,, and a colored rib bon bearing the name Junior Con- mando." The Commandos are cer- tain to do their task thoroughly but they need the help of every person. In searching for scrap don't forget, small items such as castors on an old chest, broken skid chains, roller skates, leaky wash pails, wire hangers, an old flat iron broken toys, pipes, hinges, screws and nails, curtain rods, Jar toss, etc., all add up to one thing = metals for our war effort.
 At Hartford, the five-ton statue of the goddess Genius" which is on the dome of the State Capitol will be torn down and used for scrap. Governor Hurley has esti- mated that 20 tons of scrap can be collected from state buildings. Such things as railings, fences, orna- mental metal work, furniture and old office files will all be turned in for the war effort.

 The Scopes from the Don to the Volga above Stalingrad, where the Russians counter offensive was rol- ling toward the bend of the Don, were a sea of ames. The Germans had set the tinder-like Steppe grasses afire, hoping to stop the Russians.

 The Russians destroyed 10 artil- lery batteries last night in their counter offensive above Stalingrad. In street fighting inside Stalin- grad the Germans have not ad- vanced a step, it was said.

 The Russians fought of the planes and tanks with mobile anti- aircraft and field guns. These guns were rushed from one danger spot to another quickly and usually kept the bombers at a respectable alu- tude.
