Macarthur reported that five big
fuel dumps, many grounded planes
and many buildings were obliterat-
ed and that the plane crews, return

No enemy plane challenged the
Allied planes.
The attack bombers which took
part in this raid are designed for

heavily gunned and they carry
bombs and weapons designed to kill
enemy troops.
Boeing Flying Fortresses made up

troops who had pushed in to the
Kokoda area on the north side of
the Owen Stanley range.
The great Boeings attacked the

fires silenced enemy antiaircraft
batteries.
Special dispatches said Australian
patrols, in the same sort of fighting

They were moving through deep
mud and breast high underground

some even heaped together, who ap-
parently had been killed by the fer
ocious Allied plane attacks. They
found also heaps of stores and two
ditched tanks near the Japanese

Today'S communique, reporting

both sides prepared for the fall

Early on the morning of the

eran German 18th and 21st arm
cred divisions, the German Goth
light division, an elite corps called
here the best in the German army:
the new l64th German infantry di-
vision from Crete, one German
parachute regiment, the Italian
Littorio and Ariete armored di-
visions, the rebuilt Italian Goth in
fantry division, one Italian para
chutist regiment and several Ital-
ian infantry divisions, most of them
held in reserve.
NEW CORPS OF MEN
Gen. Alexander had a new, rein
vigorated corps of generals and les
ser leaders, reinforcements of un-
known strength including Ameri-
can-made tanks which have been
flowing to the front for weeks, and
a dominant air corps including some
United States army heavy and med
ium bombers and fighter planes.
Rommel started his move two
years after the Italians moved with
martial fanfares from Libya against
the weak British line on the
Egyptian frontier.
Reinforced by Germans and led
by Rommel, the Axis troops pushed
the British back to the Egyptian
frontier in the spring of l94l, but
in the late fall and early winter
the British moved back to the
Agedabia area of Libya.
TWO OSFENSIVES
Rommel opened in January 1912
an offensive which took him to Ell
Gazala, 100 miles from the from
tier, and then in may opened the
operation which took him to the
Alamein line, to be halted at a
moment when Alexandria, the Nile,
Suez and the entire British position
in the Middle East seemed in urgent
danger.
It was believed here that Rom
mel's attack of yesterday was the
opening of final "all or nothing
campaign for both sides. There is
no favorable line of retreat for the
British now; each mile of an Axis
advance would take the Germans
nearer to a great victory, which if
consolidated would give the Axis,
in coordination with the German
Vaucasus drive, control of the en-
tire Mediterranean and Black seas.
Alexander, regarded as hero
because of his successful fighting
retreat with comparative handful
of men before the Japanese in
Burma, faced in "the graveyard OF
generals" the man who so far ha|
never lost a campaign.
Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, Italy's
greatest colonial soldier, had been
the first victim; then had followed
four British generals, the last Gen.
Sir Claude Auchinleck whom Alex
ander replaced in August after
Prime Minister Winston Churchill's
visits to Egypt incident to his Mos
COW conference.

Russ Recross Don; Force
Retreat Of italian Armv

MOSCOW, Sept. l UP) - Rus
sian troops have recrossed the Don
river northwest of Stalingrad and
driven a deep wedge into the Ital-
ian lines, special dispatches to the
official newspaper Pravda said to-
day.
1t was asserted that the Russians,
attacking along the Don in the
KletSkaya sector, had forced the
Axis troops to retreat from
large strip of the river bank in
a battle which had lasted for five
days and continued.
AS the result, Pravda said, the
Russian advance was threatening
the northern flank of the German
forces assaulting the great Volga
river industrial center of Stain
grad.
The battle started, dispatches
said, when a Russian vanguard re-
crossed the west bank of the Don
in the Kletskaya region.

For days dispatches from Egypt
had intimated that the break was
about to come. Shortly after mid
night this morning the war office
issued the following communique:
For some days past there had
been signs of renewed activity on
Field Marshal Rommel's front and
early Monday morning German
forces including armor, pushed for
ward against our southern flank in
the neighborhood of Ell Himeimat,
where they we're Immediately en-
gagged by our light forces, and fight
ing is proceeding.
SCALE UNCERTAIN
1T is not yet certain that the
enemy's offensive is on a major
scale.
"A weak enemy thrust, mainly by
Italians, against our main front was
repulsed with loss to the enemy"
The Himeimat hill near which
Rcmmel opened his attack is about
eight miles from the almost impas-
sable Qattara salt bog depression
which forms the southern end of
the Alamein line.
1t is the most conspicuous peak in
the entire area, TOO feet high and
II miles west of the end of the
depression.
The British had taken for their
stand after the retreat from Libya
the narrowest part of the area be-
tween the sea and the depression,
and they had to defend front OF
only about SO miles. An advance
of II miles from Ell Himeimat would
permit the Axis forces to fan down
southwark, having passed the east
ern end of the depression.
Rommel started his attack with
an army which included the vet

of the city under overwhelming

eathe,css, she Soviet noon
communique said, there was no
material change on the front dur
ing the night"
The retreat to new positions was
on a sector of the area northeast
of Kotelnikovski, which is 80 miles
southwest of Stalingrad Twelve
hours before, the Russians had an
nounced that the Germans had
broken through their lines on a
sector in that area, but it was
not made clear if it was the same
sector mentioned today.
Northeast of Kotelnikovski, So
Wet troops repelled enemy attacks
and destroyed II tanks, four anti
tank guns and one gun, and wiped
out about two companies of enemy
infantry. On another sector, after
stubborn fighting in which 400 of
the enemy were killed, Soviet
troops retreated to new positions. 3"
The communique indicated that
wedge, driven into Russian de-
fenses' northwest of Stalingrad yes
terday, had not progressed.
Northwest of Stalingrad, Soviet
units fought fierce battles" it as
serted. Units repulsed three Ger
man attacks and destroyed six
German tanks. In battles for an
inhabited locality, ITO Germans
were killed"
Smarting at the disaster thet
befell Italian forces in the Klet-
skaya area, rs miles northwest OF
Stalingrad, but will above the de-
fenses into which the wedge was
driven, the Germans attacked, and
were hurled back. OF this fighting,
the noon communique said:
"In the Kletskaya area, German
infantry supported by tanks, at
tackled Soviet positions. The tanks
were repelled by artillery and anti
tank fire and many destroyed. The
remainder retreated. Enemy infan-
try forces, deprived of tank sup
port, retreated with heavy losses. y
The Russians had struck the en-
emy heavily on their left flank in
the KletSkaya area, hoping to force
the diversion of forces from more
critical areas of the 125-mile
Stalingrad front
The Russians had driven back
Italian forces and taken so much
booty that the smashing of one or
more divisions was indicated.
South of Krasnodar, near the So
Wet Black Sea naval base of No.
vorossisk, Soviet cavalry unit beat
off enemy attacks, counterattacked
and recaptured an inhabited 10
cality, the communique said.
"Over 200 Germans were left
dead on the battlefield" it con-
tinued. "A unit of German auto
matte riflemen were destroyed in
frontal attack. On another sector
Soviet units attacked an enemy
concentration and destroyed eight
trucks, three guns and more than
100 Hitlerites."

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Sept. l..
CUP)-Gen. Douglas lMacArthur's
land and air forces engaged the
japanese on the three main sectors
of the New Guinea front today in
the biggest operations in this the
ater to date.
The Australians under Maj Gen.
Cyril Cloves, who had shattered
the japanese invasion forces in the
Milne Bay area on the Allied right
flank, thrust out into the jungle
to hunt down survivors.
In the center, Australians defend
ing the 5000 foot pass over the
Owen Stanley mountains hurled
back a Japanese infantry attack,
backed by machine guns and auto
matte rifles, south of Kokoda with
the aid of fighter planes which
raked the enemy positions with their
guns.
FORCES MEET
On the left flank. veteran Aus
tralian jungle fighters clashed with
japanese forward clements only a
few miles inland from the big ene-
my base of Salamaua on the Huon
gulf.
MacArthur's daily communique re-
vealed not only that the Australians
had driven the japanese remnants
entirely off the peninsula at the
northern end of Milne bay but that
the Allied troops had had the aid
of planes based on secret air field
in smashing the Milne Bay invasion
force.
Seven enemy fighters made a
weak attack near an air field" the
communique said. mo damage re-
suited"
No air field ever had been men,

MacArthur'S planes made two of
their biggest and most successful
attacks in connection with the un-
precedentedly active land opera

RommeI Makes Supreme
Bid for Control Of Nile, Suez

LONDON, Sept. 1-CUP) - Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel, with re-
organized reinforced army includ-
ing two parachute regiments, has
hit the British line in Egypt in the
first phase Of supreme Axis at
tempt to break through to the Nile
and the Suez canal, the war office
revealed today
Picked German forces led by tanks
moved out at dawn yesterday
against the southern end of the
British FL Alamein line in the
Egyptian desert. 80 miles from
Alexandria, base of the Mediter-
ranean fleet, 120 miles from the
Nile and 2lO miles from Suez.
At the same time the Italians
struck at the British center and
we're thrown back with losses.
A war office special communi-
que reported Rommel's move after
a five-weck pause during which
both sides had been regrouped and
reinforced, and the British COM
mand had been entrusted to Gen.
Harold r. l.. G.. Alexander.
FALL CAMPAIGN
It was believed certain that the
fall campaign, in the Near East,
perhaps the greatest and most i'm
portant of the war which entered
it's fourth year today, was under
way.
The Alamein line was temporary
one, on which the British made a
stand to stop the Axis offensive
which took Rommel 100 miles
across Libya and $50 miles into
Egypt two months ago.
1t was indicated that If Rommel,
after feeling out the British line,
felt it inadvisable to pursue a full
scale offensive, the British Imperial
forces would themselves attack.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. | = Any
one who thinks it's simple mat
ter to open a second front, or even
to stage a rehearsal invasion such
as the Dieppe raid, should hear
from Producer Lester Cowan, who
blew into town today on mission
connected with the movie war he's
putting on around Vancouver Is
lend, British Columbia. Months of
planning and at least six weeks of
execution are going into the pic
ture, called THE Commandos
Come at Dawn"-yet Cowan has
the full cooperation of the Cana
dian government, complete to
planes and ships and trained
fighting men.
But even if it's a big job in
Canada it would be tougher still
in Hollywood so Cowan is going
to keep his cast and crew up there
until the last scene is shot. That
will make it the first movie ever
to be completely filmed on loca-
ton.
REEL REALISM
The region was chosen for sew
eral reasons, chief one being that
the bays and inlets of the islands
are the best possible scenic dou-
bles for the coast of Norway, where
the story is laid.
Besides" said the producer,
Hollywood extras never could have
given us anything like the realism
wire getting up there. The best
movie stunt man couldn't put on
a fight like a Canadian soldier
who has kone through the Com
mando school. They run those boys
through barbed wire and mud pits;
they shoot live ammunition over
their heads and throw thunder
flashes at their feet when they
slow up. The men acquire such a
furious fighting spirit that they'd
likely kill anything that got in
their way. I don't get in their
way!"
Most of the trobules of the
movie invasion, he explained, are
due to war conditions. For in
stance, the company needed a
dozen of Hollywood's sub-machine
guns which are especially equip
ped to fire only blanks. Before
these denatured weapons could be
delivered Cowan had to arrange
with the US. State Department,
the F.B,I., Los Angeles authori-
ties, Canadian military officials at
Ottawa and the American consul
at Victoria.
Every foot OF movie film has to
be sent to Hollywood under bond
and developed under the eye of
federal censors. Every still photo
graphed had 40 be submitted to
Army, Navy and Air Force censors.
And we had a lot of trouble tele-
phoning between Canada and
here" Cowan recalled
Paul MUM tops the cast of The
Commands Come at Dawn, and
with him are Anna Lee, Lillian
Gish in her first film in 10 years,
Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Robert Coote
of the RCAF, and 10 lesser pro-
fessionals plus the assigned mill
tary forces and a flock of extras.
In the story, MUM is the lead

After their first retreat, the
Italians began to resist and brought
up fresh battalions and regiments,
