10 Strike at
 U.S.Fortes
Promises African Vittory- Squirms Out of StaI-
 ingrad Failure

LONDON, Nov. 9.--Adolf Hitler promised the German people last night that he will strike back at American forces in North Africa.
 He assured them that he would never flee Germany if the situa- ton became difficult.
 The German leader was speaking to his oldest Nazi Party associates in Munich on the anniversary of the Munich Putsch of 1923
 He brushed aside the smashing of his army in Egypt by the Brit ish as "an advance of a few kilo- meters" and declared, those who deal out the last blow will win the war--and the Germans will do that"
 Hitler referred only fleetingly to American landings in Algeria and Morocco, asserting that the Hast decisive world will not be spoken by Roosevelt. We will prepare all cur counterblows as thoroughly as asways and they will come in due time," he said.
 Hitler admitted the war had become difficult, and explained his failure to take Stalingrad with the declaration Tt is not worth being a second Verdun. The im- portant thing is that no ship can come up the Volga River"

CAIRO, Nov. 9.-The remnants of Marshal Erwin Rommel's fleeing African Corps shook loose from the advancing British and plunged across the Egyptian border to Libya in the vicinity of Hellfire Pass.
 The escape was made despite heavy American and British air bombardments which made the route nearly impossible.
 British advance forces which have been making desperate effort to catch the back-peddling enemy, plunged into Libya only a few hours behind the rear Axis troops.
 The situation at Hellfire Pass at that moment was described as con fusing" as the British hurried in close pursuit of the tattered Ger mans and Italians and the American pilots kept up a relentless pounding of the enemy

AIR-B0RNE TROOPS IN
 NEW GUINEA
Infantry Units with Jeeps Flown Over from
 Australia
(By Associated Press)

Japans last hold on the teeming green jungles of southeastern New Guinea, stepping stone to Australia, has been shaken by American sol- diers who hacked their way to within striking distance of the invaders base at Buna after probably the greatest air-borne infantry move ment in history.
 The Americans have caught the Japs flat-footed on Guadalcanal, too.
 The indomitablc American fight ing men are on the advance, rolling the Japs back of east of Henderson Field. The latest thrust was good for four miles and may have served to shut off one Jap landing force.
 Meanwhile, green-clad, jungle trained American doughboys who moved up yesterday to grips with the Japs near Buna are reported to have been ferried along with Aus tralian troops by airplane from Aus tralia to natural landing strip in- side of the Jap territory on New Guinea.
 Supplies and even jeeps were flown to the field which was discovered by chance by an Allied airman who landed there after engine trouble.
 The whole operation was carried out under the nose of the Jap army which gave no evidence of knowing what was going on," one informant told an Associated Press correspond ent in New Guinea.

The W ashington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON eMa,or Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ


 WASHINGTON-It hasn't made headlines, but Major Alexander de Seyersky, famous Russian American air expert. has just received a $75,- 900 cash settlement from the Re- public Aviation Corp. for his part in designing certain airplanes now used by the Army.
 Behind this is a story of the petty intrigue and jealousy by Army brass hats which is begging down the war Major de Seversky is one of the foremost aviation specialists in the United States. but has never been popular with the Air Corps. His English is not too good His man. ners are persistent He has defin- itely got on the nerves of certain high Army airmen. This war has proved a lot of his ideas to be far ahead of the Army, but that seems only to have deepened the jealousy.
 Until 1940, Seversky was director of Republic Aviation. But in that year certain airmen made such strong representations to Republic about Seversky that he was dropped. Since Republic had taken over the old Seversky Aircraft Corporation, Seversky sued. and hired as attorney Alfons Landa of the prominent law firm headed by Ex-Ambassador Jos eph E. Davies.
 Davies has distinguished list oi clients, including some Of the big gest firms in the United states. Shortly after Landa took Seversky's case, Davies received a call from Paul Moore, of Republic Aviation, expressing the hope that no member of the Davies law firm would handle the Seversky case It was also indi- cated that two important clients which the Davies firm represented would withdraw their business II the Davies firm also represented Seversky
 Davies. however, stood his ground.
 T can't see that there is any con- flict between their interests ana

LANDING OPERATIONS
 ARE SWIFTLY MADE

 Is Reported
tBy Associated Pressl

Forces of the United States, strik- ing with overwhelming might and exquisite perfection, have closed .---4 .ANy oe4O44ses ill Preach NviCn Africa after inflicting serious losses on the vichy Navy at Casablanca md capturing Algiers.
 This powerful American challenge to Hitler, still only at the start, was achieved with but slight U. s. losses. the Allied headquarters spokesman in London said late this afternoon.
 The spokesman said that most of the resistance thus far has been naval but no doubt the combined night of the United States and Brit lsh naval strength backing up the ianding operations can cope swiftly with any Vichy forces seeking to battle.
 Air Offensive
 Both Axis enemies are said to have entered into the defense of North Africa in air action against the Allied fleet off Algiers but the headquarters spokesman declared here is no truth in reports the French fleet has steamed out from Toulon to enter the battle.
 The German communique, early this morning, said German and Ital- an planes have scored bomb hits on dx Allied warships and four mer- chantmen since Friday night against the British and American vessels off Algiers.
 Counter Air Attack
 The Vichy radio reports that Ital- ian planes attacked Gibraltar today but gave no account of results. neither was there any mention of the North African warfare except that Algiers capitulated under land, sea and air attack last night. at the end of the first day on the new battlefront.
 New Area Occupied
 The Vichy radio admits the Am ericans have occupied Safi on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, 40 miles from Casablanca.
 The Vichy radio also announced the official communique acknow- lodges the Algerian port of Gran on the Mediterranean is virtually encircled
 French broadcasts said the Ann ericans are closing around Oran and have reached the railway line east
