Drive laps Back
For Second Day

GEN. MACARTHURS HEAD
Australia, Oct. %.
CUP)-Gen. Douglas Macarthur an
nounced today that Allied troops
had driven the japanese from their
defense positions near Fora Greek,
in the towering owen Stanley noun
tains of New Guinea, and were con-
tinuing to press successful attacks.
1t was the second successive day
in which the allies had forced the
enemy to retreat. Larger forces now
were in action for both sides but
the fighting still was confined chief
ly to advance units.
The new advance brought the
Allied ground troops within 10 mlies
of the japanese strong point at
Kokoda by trail, and only about six
miles away by air. Kokoda lies 5000
feet below the present Allied posi-
tions and the japanese were believed
falling back to their last available
natural defense positions, beyond
which the train falls away sharply,
descending about 2,400 feet within
two miles.
REPORTS CONFUSED
Reports are incomplete and the
situation is somewhat confused a
headquarters spokesman said, but
we are continuing TO press success
full attacks"
The front reports said the Japa-
nese still were using mortars against
the advancing allies, but made no
mention of light artillery fire, which
had been reported previously.

Rabaul, on New Britain island, be-
fore dawn Sunday The raid was
synchronized with the heavy at
tacks on japanese shipping at BUN,
at the southern tip of Bougainville
! island.
Rabaul, an important Japanese
base, is situated about $50 miles
northwest of Guadalcanal, where
the enemy now is attempting to dis
lodge American forces. 1t was sub
jected to furnishing attacks last
week. during one of which Mac
Arthurs bombers dropped more than
100 tons of explosives.

that Timoshenko's men had stormed

Germans in hand to hand battle.

ATTACKS WEAKEN
The roads inside Stalmgfad had
been turned into bogs by days of
continual rain. A bitter wind, whip
ping across the Volva, numbed the
Germans whose attacks against an
industrial sector in northwestern
Stalingrad were becoming weaker
and weaker.
Red Star, the Soviet army organ,
said the Germans were nearing eX-
haustion at Stalingrad, and had
only enough strength left to attack
on narrow sectors one at a time.
Another resounding Russian sue
cess was reported from the western
Caucasus. There, after 10 days of
hard fighting, the Russians had
stopped $4,000 Germans trring TO
break through on a mountain road
and killed at least 1000 of them.
Every attack the Germans deliv-
cred inside Stalingrad was beaten
off with heavy losses. The Russians
seizing the initiative yesterday, had
swept the Germans from several
/ houses near a vital factory fortress
in the northwest part of Stalingrad
More than 72 hours have passed
without the Germans making a
gain. This was the 59th day of the
siege of Stalingrad, which the Ger
mans believed they would take six
weeks ago, and which Adolf Hitler
had promised his people would be
taken.
In the Stalingrad area, a Soviet
unit repulsed an infantry and tani
attack and wiped out a company
900 men," the Soviet noon com.
munique said. On another sector
guards mortarmen annihilated abou
100 and burned five tanks. A plat,
oon of the enemy's scouts were killed
in minefields.
South of Stalingrad, Soviet scout
killed 10 Germans, the noon com
munique reported. Earlier, front
line dispatches said the Russian
had driven back the Germans tw,
miles in this area.

FRENCH ALIGNED
 TO ALLIED CAUSE
Dakar Authorities Release All British Internees in
 West Africa

Washington, Dec IA. - tUP) - French authorities in Dakar have released all British internees in West Africa and have announced that they now are aligned firmly with the Allied cause, 1t was learned authori- tatively today.
 The statement was informed by the American consulate at Dakar of the releases from internment. And the Dakar radio has carried state- ment that Ion all our frontiers the situation is completely clarified and no dispute separates us any longer from the British"
 The Dakar announcement ap- peared to end all doubt of Dakar,s place in the Allied cause and to foreshadow utilization of French naval forces at Dakar on the Allied side.
 Lieutenant General Dwight Eisen- hover, commander of American forces in Africa, apparently arrang. cd the peaceful settlement. It Is of great strategic importance in con- duct of the war, particularly since 1t seemingly marks an end of the bitterness which the French have felt toward the British since the latter's attack on Dakar In 1940.

Douglas Boston (A-20) bombers helped by pounding the Cape Killerton section.
 West of Coma, Australian patrols rounded up few stragglers from that village, where 638 Japanese were killed in the final days of fighting. Curtiss P-40 fighters rang ed over the area, helking the pa- trols.

TURKISH-RUSSlAN
 ACCORD DESIGNED
United States May Pos. sibIy Associate Itself
 With Declaration
BY DANA ADAMS SCHMIDT limited Press Staff COrrespondent)

Ankara, Dec. 12 -(Delayed) (UP)-Negotiations are proceeding successfully for a new Turkish Russian diplomatic accord designed to end Turkeys fears that Russia might encroach on Turkish terri tory, authoritative quarters said to- day.
 In the accord Russian and Tur- key would express mutual friend. ship. Russia would pledge full re- spect for Turkish territorial integ- rity, including the Dardanelles strait between the Black sea and the Mediterranean, and express willingness to aid Turkey in the event she were attacked.
 Usually reliable quarters said the United States would associate it.. self with the declaration by prom. ising its good offices in event Of any Turkish Russian misunder- standing and by affirming that the United States, like Great Britain art. Russia, would fully respect Turkeys territorial integrity and help her against any attacker.
 United States Ambassador Laur- ence A. Steinhardt has played q leading part in aiding negotiations. The accord which still is in the oral stage is expected to be made public next week.
 Informants said the final regotia- ton was reached Tuesday when Steinhardt made his first visit to Foreign Minister Numanz Meme. mencioglue since his return from the United States.
 By associating itself with the agreement, the United States would put itself on Q footing similar to that of Great Britain.
 Britain and Russia in 6 joint note to Turkey Aug. 12, 194l, pledged respect for Turkeys sovereignty over the Dardanelles and promised to aid Turkey against any Euro pean attacker.

Weakness at Pearl Harbor was not in material things, but in the realm of the mind and heart, said Dr. John c.

The men at Pearl Harbor, he said, lacked imagination and insight, and If they had had twice as muci1 equipment, their losses would have been correspond!ngly greater.
 Dr. Walker stressed the nece -sity o building faith from day 70 day in order to be ready for any emerg- ency that may arise. Citing the quotation that mo man has any more religion than he can command in an emergency" he pointed out that no army has any more power han 1t can bring to the fore in time of crisis.
