WOMEN WIN FAME

Women of the British auxiliary
services, going into action for the
first time since their assignment
to anti-aircraft batteries, were given
credit for driving German raider
away from an east coast town
which it tried to bomb.
Wing Commander Max Aitken,
son of Lord Beaverbrook, former
minister of aircraft production, was
the hero of the nights action over
Britain. The air ministry said that
his squadron of .--.u-iighters knock

planes with Aitken getting two of
them-his l1th and 18th air victor

for this year was boosted to Is.

its positions on all sectors of that

A prolonged battle in the central
sector forced the Germans to re-
treat south and southwestward.
Strong enemy units still were oper-
ating in this area, however, Pravda
said.
On the northwestern sector of
the Voronezh front, fresh German

Russians repulsed them and cross

Soviet tanks on the west bank

CROSSING HELD
Likewise, the Russians held the
main crossing on the southern sec
tor OF the Voronezh from, tand
continued to move troops to the
west bank, under heavy German
bombardment. Three German coun-
ter-attackS were broken and more
than 1000 Germans killed. German
prisoners were quoted that their
lines have been over-extended, and
because of that fact and the opera
tions of Russian guerillas, the Ger
mans were unable to bring in fuel
and had to use their tanks as pill
boxes.

Stronghold Hit

QUARTERS, Australia, July "a.
CAPITALIZED dive bombing planes
have made five damaging raids on
Japan's new invasion base in New
Guinea, it was revealed today.
Along with medium bombers, the
new dive bombers, in their first
appearance in the Australian the
atre, attacked the Buna AmbaSi-
Gonaarea on the north New Guinea
coast where the enemy established
a new garrison of some $500 men.
The medium bombers scored a
direct hit amidships on a 5000 ton
transport, apparently laden with
gasoline or fuel oil, and set it ablaze,
a United Nations communique said.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-07-24
ALL BOMBS HIT

The dive bombers, sweeping down
on buildings and landing barges at
the Coma Mission landing point,
placed all their bombs in the target
area.
Fighter planes swept low over
enemy positions at Coma, silencing
an nti-aircraft battery with their
machine gun fire. Other fighters
attacked a small enemy vessel north
of Salamaua, up the coast.
AS they left, the Allied plane
crews saw fires blazing among enc
my installations and supply depots,
the communique reported.
A spokesman at Gen. Douglas

THREE TRANSPORTS

Thus, since the enemy invasion
fleet was sighted Tuesday night,
Allied planes have sunk one trans
port and heavily damaged two.
1t was revealed that the invasion
convoy was escorted by cruisers, de-
stroyers and mine sweepers.
In landing with such a small
force as an estimated $500 men, the
Japanese departed from their in
vasion pattern, which is to throw
ashore an overwhelming force.

TOKYO SURPRISED

The result was that it was i'm
possible for Joseph Clark Grew.
the United States ambassador, to
see the emperor before the war
lords had arranged the declaration
of war.
The outbreak of war surprised
Tokyo. Correspondents had been
convinced that the japanese war
lords were about to strike. But
when the critical situation in No
vember passed, it was generally
believed the blow would come sew
eral weeks later, not as early as
December 7.
Believing that sooner or later the
attack was coming. the correspon-
dents tried to give their forebodingS
to Americans They could not say
outright that they believed war
was near but they tried to indicate
by unusual vol,me OF their dis
patches that the situation was
serious.

DEFENSIVE MOVE?

Indications that the Japanese
move may have been defensive, as
we'll as potentially offensive, were
increased by reports of missionaries
familiar with the Buna area.
They said that the reefs were
SO treacherous in peace time that
ships never ventured through them,
and suggested that the Japanese
must have had expert knowledge
of the channels-perhaps through
Quisling German missionaries-to be
able to land troops.
1t was believed that three Aus
tralian missionaries, two of them
women, were at the Coma mission
near Buna when the enemy landed.
Buildings at the mission, mis-
sionaries said, consist of large
hospital two-story house, home
for nurses, school and church.

be to absorb the Fascist peninsula

course.
The account the Soviet news
agency, Tass, receives from Gene

aim is to compact Italy, France,
Spain and Portugal into a bloc that
can be relied on to stick together,
whatever ensues.
Maybe one Of the possibilities he
emissions is triumph by the democ-
racies. Still, the United Nations
probably will feel no intensity Of
bitterness against Europe's Latins.
Probably they'll feel like maroon
ing Benito, personally, on a desert
island or some such place, but
they'll be disposed to be kindly to-

though, only got on top south Of
