ward toward the inner defenSeS of
Stalingrad under heavy pounding
by superior Nazi infantry, tank and
air forces and in the Far East there
was a momentary lull on the far
flung battlefronts.
An encouraging report on the
hard fought battle of the Atlantic
was r1ade by the first lord of the
admiralty, A. v. Alexander, who
reported more German submarines
have been sunk or put out of action
in the last two months than in any
similar period in the past.
German fears that the present
battle of the western desert may
flare into spreading campaign for
control of the whole continent of
Africa we're emphasized in a dis
patch from the French frontier.
DEMAND STATIONS
The dispatch reported that the
Nazis have demanded the right to
station divebomber squadrons at
Dakar to protect the vital West
African port against an Anglo
American attack which they were
said to believe was imminent.
The French were said to have re-
| jected the demand, at least for the
moment, because of the opposition
of Pierre Boisson. high commissioner
of West Africa who threatened to
resign if the proposal was approved
by Premier Pierre Laval.
So far, reports indicated. the bat
tie along the desert Alamein line
has progressed favorably for the
Allies.
British and American planes were
pounding Rommel's troops and arm
ored forces in an attack of greater
intensity than ever before was de-
livered in the desert. 1t appeared
that the Nazi drive had stalled al
most as it began. However, British
observers restrained their optimism
because of Rommel's reputation as
a tricky and resourceful campaigner
Reports from Moscow indicated
deepening pessimism over the situ-
alton at Stalingrad. The Russians
appeared to be short of tanks, out
numbered in the air and suffering
a shortage of manpower to meet the
heavy Nazi assaults.
MAJOR ROLE
American air power was playing
major role in the Egyptian cam
paign. U. S. bomber and fighter
squadrons engaged in record activ-
ity, joining the British and South
African air forces in almost contin-
uous attacks on the German con-
centrationS. There was no indica-
ton that U. S. tank crews have
seen action as yet.
Reports from Moscow assumed an
air of deep pessimism concerning
the battle for Stalingrad. For the
sixth time within a week the Rus
slams reported a retreat on the
southwest approaches to the city

erical superiority and failed to report

During the month of August the

that So cargo ships and tankers

German Tank Units

Dump Tors of Bombs on
ROmmel Troops Positions
BY HENRY T. GORRELL

ON THE ADVANCED AL
AMEN FRONT, Sept. 2.
(UP)-(Delayed)-The Brit
ish have inflicted heavy loss
es on the Nazi 18th and 21st armor-
ed divisions, it was revealed today.
and British and American bombers
are dumping tons of bombs on the
German positions.
From my vantage point in the
advanced lines it appears that Mar
shall Erwin Rommel is sitting un-
comfortably in open country, con-
siderably south of what appeared
to be his original objectives.
His armored units already have
been roughly handled by British
anti-tank guns and American and
British bombers, bunting the spear
head of his striking force.
SETTING HEN
Rommel seems to be in the posi-
ton of a setting hen which is Wor-
ried for fear her eggs will break be-
fore they hatch.
Since the first light at dawn, the
Allied bomberS have been sWarming
overhead and the efforts of the luft-
waite to strike back have not been
successful because of the vigilant
patrols of British fighters.

another in the sky above the front
and two Messerschmitts crashed in
flames only a few thousand yards
from the camp where I'm watching
the battle.
This camp is surrounded by 25-
pound anti-tank guns, ready to
blast in any direction at the first
sign of a German move
All night the Germans seemed
nervous. I watched them signal
frantically across the desert with
red, white and green rockets. There
was not much sleep for the Ger
mans because Allied planes were out
in force, attacking the Nazi tank
camps and two big concentrations
of motor transport about IL miles
south of the main Allied armored
positions.
SUFFERED HEAVILY
Reports from our reconnaissance
planes show that the Germans suf-
fered heavily in these attacks.
The Germans apparently aimed
their knockout punch to the north
with the intention of isolating
large Allied force in the center OF
the Alamein line from the forces on
Ruweisat Ridge to the south and

Axis Spy Or Other
Common hief
axes MI Banner

Reasoning tells us there is an
axis spy in the Nogales area, but
common sense makes us feel sure
it was only a cowardly sneak
thief who swiped the God Bless
America" banner from its place
on The Nogales International
bulletin board sometime Sunday
night.
According to cold logic, an
American wouldn't have taken
the banner because in these war
times we are all for one and one
for all, and naturally would not
steal from one another. 1t
couldn't have been a Mexican
because of the Good NeighbOr
Policy :. a person doesn't steal
from a neighbOr, good or bad.
That leaves as the only possible
suspect an axis spy, angered by
our show of patriotism and the
banners wording: Equality,
Liberty, Justice-It's great to be
an American"
How anyone can imagine they
could demonstrate their own pa
triotism by displaying a stolen
American banner is beyond us.
The bit of hallowed cloth taken
from us is now almost as greatly
besmirched by the unseen marks
of thieves fingers as the German,
italian and Japanese flags are
soaked with the unseen blood of
slaughtered innocents. For thaf
reason we dc not want il return
cd. We want the vandal to keep
it where he can see it forever as
a constant reminder of his dis
+raceful shame.
Perhaps the rObber thought
possession of our banner would
earn him the reputation of a
loyal citizen. In our judgment
it's possession can only earn him
free board in Jail cell during
this life, and a hot spot in hell
in the hereafter.
