BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Corresp0nder

Moscow, April 22. - (UP) - A curtain of motar, machine-gun and rifle fire shattered German night attack in the northwest Caucasus, killing 400 of the enemy and wreck ing three os his tanks, the Soviets announced today.

 Some small groups of Germans who penetrated the Soviet lire at the height of the fighting were wiped out in hand-to-hand fighting. the midday comnunique said.
 Front dispatches said the Ger mans were attacking in ceaselesS waves and under strong aerial sup port in a thus far futile attempt to enlarge their threatened bridgehead in the Kuban area regardless of cost.
 Red air force pilots battled the German planes in some of the larg- est-scale aerial fighting of the war in Russia. Ninety eight German planes were reported shot down on Tuesday and Wednesday alone in the area west Of Krasnodor with Soviet losses totaling a aircraft.
 GA German broadcast said troops landed by the Russian Black Sea fleet west of Novcrossisk have rec newed their attacks. but failed to penetrate the ports defenses.)

Nazi Counter-Attack
 Repulsed By Allies

Front reports indicated that the Eighth Army slowly but steadily was driving deeper into the rocky bas. tions making up the southern de- fense line guarding the Tunis plain Late reports last night said the British had penetrated the enemy positions to a depth of nearly two miles at Djebel Garcis, 10 miles west northwest of Enfidaville.
 The Eighth Army was being fore. ed to fight for every yard. Romme) threw some of his best troops into an attempt to stem the advance toward Tunis and they were aided by mine fields and hundreds of concealed gun, mortar and machine gun posts.
 At many places, the fighting was hand -to.hand with the British ad- vancing in bayonet charges. One report said that some of the bitter. est fighting was raging near the Arab village of Taluouna, two miles west northwest of Enfidaville. Both Takrouna and Enfidaville have been captured by the Eighth Army since the start of its offensive Monday night.
 During the attack by a light naval coastal force on enemy tor- pedo boats near Bizerte, an ex- plosion rent one Axis boat and it retired on fire under cover of smoke. More of the enemy were hit before they retired to cover their damaged conSort.
 Axis night fighters attacked the Allied force, but returned Co their base without casualties. Ten enemy rlanes were ahot down by Allied fighters on offensive sweeps over the battle areas yes- terday and four others were cegtroy- cd during Tuesday night, bringing the four-day total to l0S. Light AI- lied bombers attacked enemy air fields and positions.
 Four Allied planes were lost in all operations.

NAURU ISLAND
 HEAVILY SPELLED
(Continued from Page D

(Consoltd te d) heavy bombers bombed Japanese installations in Muna Muna harbor, Bougainvile Island. Bad weather prevented ob- servatlon of results.
 @. On April 2i:
 "A large force of Army bombers carried out a daylight bombing att tack on Nauru Island, in the Gilbert Island group.
 ''In spite of heavy anti-aircraft fire and defending fighter planes, much damage was done to Japanese installations. U. s. pilots shot down five ard possibly seven Zero fighters. All U. s. planes returned.
 Worth Pacific:
 "3. On April 20:
 Japanese installations at Kiska were attacked 10 times by forma. tions of Army planes. Liberator heavy bombers, Mitchell (North American B-25) medium bombers and Warhawk (Curtiss P.40) fight CTS carried out these raids. Straf- ing from various attitudes was car- ried out in conjunction with bomb- ing. Hits were scored on the run way and camp area"
 The Navy did not say what par ticular objective the army bombers were seeking on Nauru Island but 1t was believed that the raid may have been aimed at hampering Japanese efforts to obtain phosphate needed by the enemy's war industry.
 Nauru was last attacked on March % when four-engined liberator bombers attacked installations there. Hits were scored on the wharf. run- way, officers quarters and barracks. Four fires were started several en. emy planes were damaged.

JAP EXECUTIONS
 GENUINE MURDER
Continued from Page D

The fact that they violated in- ternational law hardly will impress the Japanese because l2 years ago they announced when they invaded Manchuria. that they henceforth would ignore it. The Japanese be. lieve might is right. It was hardly to be expected that the Japanese would show American prisoners more consideration than they have the Chinese in the last six years. They had no higher respect for a few American lives than they had for the 400.000.0O0 Chinese under the njne-power treaty.
 Tn the past six years the Japa- nese have slaughtered over 10000 900 human beings, made homeless 100, ,000, 900 and enslaved 500. 1000, 900.
 Mass incendiary demolition bomb raids on Japan now may halt this barharisii. The Japanese respect only one thing. namely. superior force. The Americans were exc. cuted and tortured because we failed to convince the Japs we were a superior force. We can be cer. tain no amount of sermonizing will make the Japanese feel guilty.
 The executions undoubtedly are popular in Japan because the so- called military clique has the .sup- port of the people.
 Japanese militarists are not freaks with Japan. They come from farms, villages and fishery ports and have the same education and back ground as the average Japanese.
 Bombs are the only way of in- pressing them.

 However, in 1922. in his claim for a tax rebate. he certified only 3457 gallons of gasoline were used for non-highway purposes"
 In the cases under study. the OPA said the average over-issue was 490 per cent.
 "If similar over-issues are occur ring throughout the state, due to Misrepresentation on the part of non-highway applicants, the total leakage may be running from three to five million gallons year.

 But Rommei had not yet given up his objective. As the infantry tried to break off the engagement under a heavy artillery battering, between 60 and 30 Nazi tanks roared into action.
 The British artillery threw hun. dreds of shells at them, covering the early morning battlefield with smoke and explosions. Black smoke splashed with orange flames spir- aled up from the wounded tanks as they sought to deploy.
 Entrenched gunners of the First Army began picking off the Her. man Goering 0renadier armored troop-carrier vehicles and tanks of the 5Olst Nazi tank battalion, which previously had seen action in north- ern Tunisia. As the light improved the accuracy of the British gunrers increased and RoEnmel's hopes went up in the smoke of 27 steli-battered tanks left on lthe battlefield.
 Meanwhile, on Wednesday the Eighth Army under Gen. Sir Ber- nard Montgomery threw back two counter attacks with very heavy losses, on the Enfidaville front.
 "Our positions were generally improved and all gains firmly held" the eommuniuue said.
