NEW NAzI
 DRIVE SEEN
 IN AFRICA

LONDON, Sept 1.-An eight-mile German drive into the minefields on the southern flank of the Fl Alamein line in Egypt, trimming the Quattara depression is reported from Cairo in Reuters dispatch, and new United States Air Forces have gone into action in what appears to be developing into major battle.
 The German thrust evidently was seeking a soft spot in the center of the British line.
 Meanwhile, report says that the newest American medium bombers. B25s. ike those which bombed Tokyo, have gone into their first action on the North African front with complete American air crews. These are reported to have bom- barded Axis transport columns, and supporting American fighter pilots are dispersing unusually large Ger man dive bomber formations.
 At the same time. armored van- guards of perhaps Al 900 Axis troops between Fl Alamein and Bengasi are said to be locked in tight combat with the British forces.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.- Not even in fiction have there been better crime and mystery stories written about this war than in the routine reports of the various in- vestigative government bureaus.
 To deal completely with small percentage of them here would be a physical impossibility, but when Elmer L. Trey, coordinator of the Treasury Departments investigat- ing agencies, made a report to Sec retary Morgenthau the other day, he set up picture that's worth looking at.
 The war, it seems, has caused the counterfeiters and dope ped- dlers to shift bases of operations to Mexico. The far-flung borders of the United States now are guarded as closely out as in.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMaJor Robert 6. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON-T Nazis' few erish boat building program along the Black Sea, plus various intel hgence reports, now give pretty accurate picture of what Hitler plans next against Russia. It is a three way attack partly by water to squeeze the Turks. and two other drives directed against Syria and the entire Near East.
 According to diplomatic cables, usually accurate, here are the de- tails of the campaign.
 One look at the map shows that the conquest of the entire Caucasus grows increasingly difficult as the Nazi enters the towering peaks of the central region. Here Hitler can advance only with terrific losses.
 Therefore, it would be easier to go by boat from Varna in Bulgaria Constanza in Rumania, and Sevas- topol, past the towering mountain ranges, and land at the Turkish ports of Trebizond and Samsun. These connect by rail with other parts of the Near East. and a Nazi army could then get in behind the Russian army now entrenched in the Caucasus mountains. '~..
 Simultaneous with this attack on Turkey, Nazi troops in the islands of Greece would drive against Syria Simultaneously also, von Rommel would launch another attack on Egypt.
 Thus Hitler would aim three prcnged drive against various parts of the Near East all at one tirfre And so far as ascertained. this cam paign is schedule for around Sep tember IS.
