 Bombed

SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA Flying fortresses left the whole airdrome area alight with fires yesterday in the fourth heavy pounding they have dealt Rabaul in eight days. Returning pilots said "it took scarcely more time to do than it akes to tell" The lead plane dropped flares which lit up Lakanai and Vunukanau airdromes flanking Rabauls crescent-shaped harbor. The other fortresses winged over. dropped their cagoes of destruction squarely on the illumined targets and then they all came home. The returning fliers, shaking the kinks out of their cramped up legs after the 1000 mile round trip, said that noe nemy fighters molest- ed them and that both searchlights and anti-aircraft fire were weaker than they had encountered on the three previous raids since Oct. 5

Egyptian
 War Hot

CAIRO-Axis efforts to reinforce and supply their stalled desert army in Egypt had resulted today in the certain destruction of 81 enemy planes since Sunday over the rocky island fortress of Malta alone. The intensified air siege was in it's fifth day after the British had shot down 23 Axis planes during four enemy swoops on Malta Wednesday, losing only five Spitfires from which three pilots were saved.
 Heavy U. S. bombers in daylight raids took heavy toll of Axis con- voys. A large merchant ship was hit directly by two bombs and a nearby lighter was destroyed.
 German reports that Marshal Err win Rommel had eturned to the front lines in Egypt 1n the Alamein sector, 80 miles west of Alexandria, were seen as connected with the in- tensification of Axis efforts to build up his striking force. The battlefront remained quiet while the quartermasters of both sides feverishly built their armies for what is expected to be the most whitening campaign of the desert.

For the third successive day Rus sian communiques said no changes took place at the front Military observers said they believed Ger man activities had been halted be- fore their objeetives were reached because of the urgent necessity of re-eQuipping forces Tor the winter and because the resolute Russian defeuses had worn out many Nazi units.
 A year ago the Germans were caught unprepared at the start of winter and suffered a series of dis astrous reyerses.
 The same unyieldlng Russian de- fense characterized the stalemated battle of Stalingrad where German tanks and troops attacked two sec tors of a factory district and were repulsed.
 The Nazis increased their attacks in the Caucasus. Thesr forces were regrouped and sent in individual companies or battalions against single objectives but without sue cess.

Greatest Battle Of Jap War Now Raging
 In The SolOmOnS
#lBy= Associated #Press

lBy ASSOeIaled Bress1 7 A Japanese armada of battleshIps. cruisers and destroyers threatened the Solomons today and on the steaming shores Of Guadaleanal Is- land [. s Army forces in substan- | tial numbers had landed 10 fight shoulder to shoulder with American Marines in Che heaviest land. sea and air action Of the South Pacific war
 Up to nightfall last night latest word from the American Nays surface craft had been the official account of Sunday nights task force attack which sank six enemy Warcraft but delayed Japanese of fensive action for only a matter of hours.
 The Navy today issued a com munique which reported the enemy fleet and transports still lowered off SaYo Island al the entrance to the Tdlagi Guadalcanal area. On Thursday afternoon three enemy transports lay burning on Che beach, result of [. s. aerial action.
 Iwenty-seYen enemy bombers had delivered Thursday afternoon raid on Guadalcanal shore positions. but there were no details on the re- suits. Neither was there any late word us to the battle ashore About 450 miles from Guadalcanal an en- emy warship, probably a submarine. shelled Espiritu Santo Island, Am erican base in the New Hebrides. under cover of Wednesday, night.
 Besides Army ground force rein torcements landed Thursday. Army air units had reached Guadalcanal to support the Navy and Marine dive bombers and fighters based on that airport island Their reinforce ments were delivered under air at tack but without loss.
 But the GuadaIeanal air base had been under consecutive lombard ment by enemy heavy warships and by massed enemy bombers and it was acknowledged that our fliers had been unable to intercept one attack on Wednesday by = Japan ese bombers.
 By Thursday evening the enemy had made what evidently were mai or landings west of the Guadaleanal airport but in so doing one of their battleships was damaged and three of their transports crippled or set afire by the American air forces.
 Moreover, a second squadron of l5 Japanese bombers, which at tackled the Guadalcanal air base Wednesday, was cut to pieces at least nine bombers being destroyed along with four fighters and it vas therefore clear that the combined U. S. air forces still had hard com bat power
 Still other enemy heavy warcraft were coming in from the sea, how eyer. Ashore on Guadalcanal, latest reports to the War Department quoted by Secretary Stimson, said the Marines and soldiers are stub bornly holding their beach-heads and airdrome positions against strong Japanese counter attacks. The size of the total U. S. force is d secret. The Solomons battle, ob- Yiously. was of much greater scope than anything that has taken place in the South Pacific since the day of the battle of the Coral Sea and that was purely a naval air eng { ment
 In the Owen Stanley mountain sector, a heated battle was bel. fought in the vicinity of Tem3i - tons Crossing on the north sid, the Owen Stanley pass and only i2 miles from the Japanese advan q base at Kokoda.
