 Immediately before them-1f they have not already reached it-is the terminus of road which ends in a mountain trail and leads direct to Port Moresby.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur an- nounced in a communtque that the enemy were still making progress In a drive which appeared now to have committed them to frontal attack on strongly defended Port Moresby, which is only 375 miles from the northeast tip of the Australian con- tinent.
 Tn an advance which started Aug. 27 from the Kokoda area just north of the mountains the Japanese had broken through the high gap in the Owen Stanley range.
 They were now sneaking forward in infiltration tactics seeking to en- yelop and overwhelm Australian de. tachments holding the formidable hills on the south side of the moun- tairs.
 The enemy troops had outf1anked the Australians under Lieut.. Gen Sidney Powell in the Myola Lake district in the gap area.
 Then they had driven their way another 12 miles along the tortuou; mountain trail to execute another successful flanking movement al Efolgi.
 Efolgi is 8 1-2 miles on the Port Moresby side of the mountain gap and A airline and 53 road miles from the allied base.
 Between them and the lower coastal country ay still severa ridges rising to 4,600 feet or more

 So far the Germans have been able to conscript only about 10000 Norwegian workers for labor in Germany instead of the 10000 they wanted, because the workers prefer prison to slavery.
 More than 1000 workers were ar- rested at the important Lista afr drome in southern Norway recently for opposing their Nazl taskmasters and IS were arrested on sabotage charges at the Vaernes airdrome near Trondheim.

 Again, the co1nmunique did not mention the northwestern approach, but 1t said there was no material change on sectors not named.
 The Soviet Bureau of Information announced that the Russians had routed 73 German, Rumania1l, Italian and mixed divisions and aIl- initiated more than 70 per cent of their effectiveness (perhaps S,lOO men) from May to Aug. 3l. Dur" ing the same period, 42 Soviet irl- fantry divisions and 25 brigadeS slf- fered considerable losses.
 Reports from the Caucuses said that Nad columns have converged on Novorossisk and penetrated the northwest suburbs where heavy fighting was in progress.

 In the past 24 hours, 1t was re- ported, the Russians beat off 10 at- jacks in the Novorossisk suburbs.
 Germans Gain Here
 London, Sept. 10-(UP)--An authoritative survey showed today that Russia faces her second winter of the war with at least 40 per cent of her total food producing areas iri the hands of the Germans.
 This estimbate is regarded as con servatiye, because it comedies that the Russians may have developed between 25,000,000 and 50,0OO,00C acres of grain land in Siberia.
 On the basis of the last statis- tics the Russians published, in 1885 they have lost more than 30 pei cent of their domestic grain supply which was 75 pc cent of the nations total food.
 Russia reported more than 25o,- 100000 acres of land in grain, 1n- cluding Siberia and other areas ir East Russia, but they lost roughly l25, GOO ,0O0 acres whent he Germans oyerran much of European Russia
 That loss includes an estimated 75 ,0O0 900 acres of general food pro- ducing land in the North Caucasus Azov, Kursk, Voronezh and Stalin' grad areas. Eighty per cent ot tha' total was in grain.

he said I must be mistaken. The smoke increased in volume, but those on our deck decided that a smoke screen was being laid.
 "Soon, however, we found that 1t was fire on the transport, for our ship turned back to take off sur vivors. A big warship and several destroyers were carrying on the rescue operations, and they said that our boat wasn't needed. Our ship remained nearby, however, until we received orders to proceed"
 '"The work of the rescue crews was magnificent. The captain turned the Wakefield around so that the wind would blow the smoke and flames away from the body of the ship, but even so the rescuers had to go through dense clouds of smoke. Other sailors and soldiers were pouring water on the blaze"
 "As our ship headed into the sun once more, racing to make up lost time, I looked back through the binoculars. Only the tunnels were visible; the rest of the Wakefield was covered with smoke. Later we learned that the fire was brought under control and that the trans port was lowed to port"

 New Secret Types
 It was believed here that the Rus sians were using new secret type fo,ir.motored bombers such as brought Russian Foreign Commissar Viacheslav Molotov here for his re- cent visit.
 Aviation quarters reported that these giant long range bombers were now in full production at factories somewhere in the Ural Mountains.
 Bad weather grounded the big night bombers of the Royal Air Force during the night, but single planes of the bomber command at- lacked targets in western Germany last evening and returned.

 A new British fighter-bonber type sank two German armed trawlers yesterday in a successful debut of the French coast. The planes are adapted from the Westland Whirl~ wind single scatter two-motored fighter, which has a speed of up- wards of 400 miles an hour. It was first mentioned as fighter when Whirlwinds escorted bornbers part of the way on a flight to Cologne Germany, in August, 1941. It car- ries four cannon in its nose. As now modified the Whirlwinds carry twt bombs.
 They went out yesterday for thu first time as fighter -bombers, es' corted by fighters, and ran inte four enemy armed trawlers. A can non fire attack on them was fol- lowed up with bombs.
