 Heavy Bomber Units
 Heavy bombers (which might have included United States Army Air Corps planes) continued even greater scale attacks on enemy units during the night, 1t was noted, and in evidence that the Royal Air Force holds at least aerial superior ity 1t was added that there was comparatively little enemy aerial &C., tivity.
 Torpedo carrying planes scored two hits on an Italian merchant man in the Ionian sea between Italy and Greece, 1t was said, and fighter planes at Malta downed 2 German Messerschmitt-l0g plane and dam- aged others.
 Loss of five planes in all British operations was admitted.
 The battle for the Nile was being fought on sun-baked, dust-clouded line stretching 40 miles from Fl AIamein, 60 miles west of Alexan- dria, to the salt-bogged Qattara de- precision.
 Tanks, armored cars, artillery, anti-aircraft units, and infantrymen were engaged in the second day of the big decisive battle which start cd at dawn yesterday with a Ger man attack on the British Fl Ala mein line.
 It seemed impossible that the bat tie could end in any way but by a knockout.
 Field Marshal Erwin Rommels German and Italian forces threw the full weight of their superior armored units against new British front line.
 They showed an increasing tend- ency toward smashing the southern end of the British line edging the Qattara bogs in an attempt at q flanking movement.
 Spurred to Stick to It
 Spurred by the exf1ortation of their commander-in-ch -chief, Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, to stick 1t out and win, the British, South African, New Zealand and Indian troops of the Imperial Eighth Army stabbed into the attacking Axis formations at every chance.
 Heavily handicapped by the su. pertor weight of the Axis arn1or, they had the support of strong air force, which included many American built planes and long range bombers of the American army air corps. It seemed probable that they had superiority in the air.

Dispatches to Red Star from Gzhatsk, 112 miles west of Moscow, said the Germans a few days ago broke a long quiet by opening up with 120 guns and sending infantry charging in three directions.
 All Were Repulsed
 Considerable forces trying to storm sectors defended by Soviet guard troops were repulsed. On two neighboring sectors, however around an important Soviet stronghold de- fended by a small garrison, the Ger mans penetrated Russian defenses some two miles deep and mile wide.
 The Russians held their Hanks, let the Germans fall through the center and beat off efforts to widen the breach. Then the Russians at lacked frontally and from both Hanks.
 After a 14-hour battle. the Ger mans retreated in disorder beyond their original positions, and at least 1900 were left dead in one of the sectors they had penetrated.
 All six regiments the Germans had thrown into the attack were hammered badly and more than 2,500 were wounded.
 During the battle, Russian Stor- movik planes routed seven march, ing enemy columns.
 Though the battle was on large scale, 1t was too early to conjecture whether 1t presaged a general of- fensive on the central front aimed at Moscow.
 Tn the direction of Kursk (275 miles southwest of Moscow our troops repulsed attacks, infiicting heavy losses on the enemy" the first communique continued. Tn two days unit commanded by Poukhov destroyed 39 tanks and armored cars, GA trench mortars, 24 guns, six motor vehicles and 36 carts of supplies. On this sector, the enemy lost 7,0O0 officers and men,"
 Front-line reports said that @ Russian counter-attack, rapidly gaining momentum, was driving the Germans back on the Kursk front.
 A dispatch from that front to the Soviet army organ Red Star said the Germans were following their usual tactics; First attacking with infantry supported by a few tanks, then, where they could wedge into Russian lines, follow up with a mas sive thrust of tanks protected by planes.
 Soviet artillery, anti-tank guns and rifles were taking a heavy toll of the tanks, Red Star said.
 Made Some Advance
 "In the Sevastopol sector of the front, the enemy succeeded in mak- ing some advance at the cost of heavy losses" the Soviet midnight communique said. Violent hand-to hand fighting took place." The Russians were said to have knocked the Germans out of several localities on the Kursk front, and to have halted their new offensive around Gzhatsk, 112 miles west of Moscow. The drive was apparently aimed at Moscow itself.
 (paul Winterton, British Broad casting Company representative in Moscow, said that the German of- fensive at Gzhatsk was three- prong ed, but that 1t had come to quick grief, the Russians smashing the German seventh armyJ
 The midnight communique said only that Russian forces beat of German attacks yesterday around

after round, every German advance was stopped as the columns were moved down, and several hundred tanks were checked. Succeeding columns also were halted with heavy loss of life, the correspondent said.
 In one sector the Russians, over powered by superior numbers, aban- doned an inhabited point, re- grouped their forces and attacked the place in the night.
 The fight went on all night, with the Red Army retaining the Vil- lage street by street." Red Star said. "The battle now is raging in two neighboring villages which are changing hands repeatedly"
 Another village, held by Ger man garrison, was entered by So- viet force which wiped out the de- lenders and captured all their equip ment.
 Red Star said the Germans were using long range artillery and 12 and six barrel mortars in their Kursk offensive.
 There was no effort by the Rus- sians to minimize the seriousness of the Scvastopol situation although denying German claims of a victory there.
 There is an exceptionally tense and grave situation" Red Star said.
 (This dispatch, directly from Sev- astopol, contravened Adolf Hitler's announcement yesterday that the city had fallen to the Germans which have been pounding at 1t for % days.
 C"The fighting at Sevastopol Is growing ever fiercer," radio Moscow was heard broadcasting "The Fas- cists are suffering colossal losses and continually throwing new reserves into ceaseless attacks wi:lch met courageous resistance.~
 Soviets OuItnumbered
 Red Star said tine several German divisions, (30,000 mem, with five times as many tanks and planes as the Russians, stormed one sector at Sevastopol, broke through and ad- vanced.
 "A concentrated blow" failed, however, to crush the defenders, who were fighting desperately from trenches and dugouts, Red Star re- norted, and the strong bayonet charges of daredevil marines halt ed the enemy.
 The first Russian communique to- day reported that the Russians had fought the Germans all last night at Seyastopol, and that the Germans had lost 1000 men on one sector ol the Kursk front, where a strong counter-attack was said to be push ing the Germans back.
 IZvestia, organ of the Soviet sli- preme council, said the Russians were defending every inch of the narrowing territory at Sevastopol with their bare hands, if necessary It admitted that the Germans. feed" ing fresh troops into the battle to replace the dead, steadily were tightening their ring.
 The Germans, Izvestia said. have gone back to their old tactics oi wedging small groups of tommy gunners behind Soviet lines. They whistle, whoop and shoot at oncC to make the Russians believe they arc encircled
 Three men from a Soviet marine battalion were detailed to take care of one such group. The marines killed 39 Germans who had filtered in behind the Russians, and the rest fled.

battle started, Is formed by a road which extends from the coast into the Qatara depression. On 1t are the Bir Fl Mukheisin and Qattarct Fl Diyura water holes and just east of 1t is the 700-foot Quaret Fl Hemeimat peak, down toward the depression, from which British guns blazed at the southern end of the Axis attack lines.
 Last reports from the front were that the British forces, disposed in depth, were holding their line. The imperial army was now ready, if the enemy broke the Alamein line, to fall back to successive lines, bat ting all the way, in finish fight to hold Alexandria.
 Dispatches indicated the imperial mobile tank forces, racing through the desert, were slowing the Axis attack.
 Forces of both sides had been in action for month. The Germans as well as the imperials have suf- fered heavy losses, and the British were putting every ounce of strength they had into defense they knew was vital. So were the Germans.
 Rommel and Auchinleck, old ene- mics, knew well what the issue was "a German victory would change the whole situation in the Middle East-a British defense would com- pei the Axis forces to halt and probably retreat back past the Lib- yan border.
 The entire fighter force of the imperial air force was el the alert for possible enemy air raids on AL exandria and Cairo, mindful of the warning which Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave long ago that if the Axis bombed Cairo, a holy city to Mohammedans, the British would bomb Rome.

 Another strong bomber force. es. corted by the AVG planes, blasted Japanese supply ships in the Yang tze around Yochow, no miles south west of Hankow, and attacked mu- nitions and supply dumps north of the river. "
 The attack was made in an area 300 miles inland, west and north of the fighting zone in which the Jan- anese. in one of their most deter mined offensives, are trying to gain full control of the coastal provinces as safeguard against future bomb ing by American planes based in China. "

NCOnLlUueQ ITOHI rage A brought back information which permitted the charting of the at- tack.
 The air force commander of an important area led the Kendari raid personnaly and reported:
 T saw bombs hit among a group of grounded Japanese planes and saw the incendiary bombs start fires. It was most successful raid. /"
 Many heavy bombs were dropped, and a crew member commented:
 We threw incendiaries out of every hole available. The Japs will have a job dousing those fires"
 So completely were the Japanese surprised by the attack, in which the same technique was used as in the raid on Tokyo, that there was no fighter interception and even gun fire was light.
 It was believed here that the at tack meant that the Japanese might be building up Kendari. Their big gest base in the northeastern zone Rabaul, in New Britain Island, Is proving something of a liability.

Kursk, that heavy tank battles were fought Ion certain sectors" and that German losses were heavy. It said that the Germans threw in reserves of men and tanks. but that Russian infantry, aviation and artillery con- bined smashed all thrusts.
 "Disregarding heavy losses, the enemy continues violently to storm Seyastopol," 1t said. During the day (yesterday) the Germans made about 20 attacks on positions held by the section of unit under Gus sarovs command. Hundreds of bodies of enemy officers and men remained on the field.
 The company of a unit under the command of ZaposchenkO an. initiated the Germans who pene- trated their rear. The enemy lost over 500 officers and men killed, in another sector, the assistant of company political instructor Kus- rasmvili, together with . machine gnn crew, annihilated about 200 Hitlerites."

MINE EYES HAVE SEEN
THE GLORY

No artist has painted it, no writ
er described it, no railroad exploit
ed it. But what a revelation! What
picture 1t was. 1t has been stat
ed that it is second only to the
Grand Canyon. This is certainly
true. Hidden away, on highway 10,
twenty miles south of Flagstaff, is
this masterpiece Of nature, called
Oak Creek Canyon. 1t has these
advantages over the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado:
You are at the bottom of the
floor of Oak Creek Canyon as you
drive along. You are close up to
all its multi-colored beauties, as
you follow the tumbling stream and
the winding road. It's strata are per-
fectly level, you may count them
like the rings of a tree. AT times
the friendly sunlight searches every
nook and corner, there is no fog as
in Grand Canyon to disturb your
vision.
Nature here has built solid and
massive masonry, carmine, topped
with brilliant white, domes 1000
feet above your head. White tenn
pies alternate with red. There is
vermilion cathedral, then a great
white throne, then Grecian columns
carved like carmine colonnades.
What looks like white cities lies in
the distance beyond little green
hills. Green clad trees grow out of
the red hills.
Age-long erosion has left towers,
turrets, castles, fortresses, pal
isades "A white bridge is seen
against green terraced hills. 1t is
a study in tints; red, white, green;
buff, grey, brown, yellow; red, pink
and yellow courses of stone suggest

stream did it,-Oak Creek!
One stops to think what a great
power that is, the melting snow
from the three peaks of San Fran
cisco Mountain, at flood tide. The
entire valley of the Muskingum was
carried away by erosion scarcely
rock left to tell the tale, its deep
sides carved out in canyons, as IN
Rocky Glen! Once level from side
to side!
Once all of Arizona and New
Mexico was a level plateau over
mile high, as it was lifted up from
the sea, by internal forces. 1t was
so gradual and slow, there was no
disturbance of strata as in the
Rockies, where uplift is accompa-
MED with contortion, the strata
standing on end, and bent and
twisted into curious shapes. But
here the sand-and lime-stOnes lie
in courses on top of each other, SO
level they look like they had been
ruled with a ruler.
Here the courses of the Grand
CANYON are repeated. What is call
ed the "Kaibab'' limestone lies
over the "Red-Wall'' sandstone In
all their brilliancy. In fact they
outcrop in places for a hundred
miles The Red-Wall is sandstone
tinged with iron. Often there is
grey stratum, where the stone was
not porous enough to take the stain
of the iron The contrast OF the
colors suggests layer-cake.
When this plateau was pushed
up, somewhere in the massive
structure there were assures,
through which the lava came up
from the molten interior, and nun
dreds of square miles were covered.
The lava is still seen above the
limestone.
The scene is wild. yet it is do
nestle too. Above mounds green
with grass, fat cattle Craze in green
meadows In the deep valley are
ranches and homes under PINK
precipices, cozily nesting along the
turbulent stream There are love
ly hooks in the green valley, where
all this beauty is reflected in the
water. Green oats grow out of dark
red soil, a strong contrast Peach,
apple and other fruits, blossom in
strange surroundings. In lovely
home here, Zane Grey wrote "The
Call of the Canyon. 1t is truly
"America's Wonderland, God s
Rock garden.
The road follows along the deep
cleft, where the sun is seldom Wis
ible A narrow stripe of blue sky
is seen above deep canyons and
neat homes Now there is a glimpse
of sunlight On the white rock, and
yonder something like city sky
line appears. A cathedral stretches
overhead, a cemetery is on the hill
and a mausoleum. BambinoS by
hundreds are carved from white
rock, like the figures in Bryce Can
yon. Ancient dunes along sea
shore are evidenced in rocks Of
cross-bedded sand. Switchbacks
bring you / 900 feet above the can
yon.
There are five levels as you look
back to the tumbling stream that
cuts its way, a last, long, lingering
look. God has put the finishing
touch on this sublime masterpiece
the meadows above are clothed
with pink flowers, ferns and vines,
under emerald groves, at the high
rim of this "Valley of Enchant-
ment' We have reached the end
of one of the most scenic drives in
