With Third Army in the MoSelle Valley, Sept. 2o-(Deiayed) -tUp) Eager CTS came running to this major and said; Hell, sir. We can see two of them now"

 Then the 0i's told him they had spotted two of their own men. whom they had been forced to leave bee hind two nights before, on the Ger. man side of the Moselle right in the heart of the town of Thionyille.
 Fifteen men had crossed the river in a rubber boat on combat patrol. The Germans caught them in ma chine gun fire before they reached the shore. The boat was sunk and Il swan back to the American side but four disappeared.
 we had written them of as bat- tie casualties until these CTS, look. ing through glasses, spotted the two crouched under the rubble ct the end of 6 shattered bridge with Ger mans swarming all around them" said It. Col. Christian H. Clark Of Atlanta, Ga.
 After hearing the CT report, Maj. Iytle said: We will so out and get them tonight" and that's what he did.
 He took Sgt. Paul D: Even& of McAlester, Okla, and Pfc. Casper J. Almi of L'Anse, Mich, with him.
 They made their way to a point where the river cuts through the town. The Germans heard them and filled the sky with star shells and flares. The three fiattened out and waited until 1t was dark again. Then they crawled out on the broken bridge to the end where Pfc. Henry A. Banks of St. Joseph, Mo, and Sgt. Grant A. Martin of Shon- galoo, La, were waiting.
 The two were unaware they were being rescued until they heard Lytle whispering instructions.
 Ropes were lowered to the two men and they slipped into the wa- ter and were dragged to safety.
 The two other missing men of the patrol were not located.
 "But we were mighty proud to sneak back two without the Ger mans even knowing they were there for capture" Clark said.

 Moscow, Sept. 30-(UP)-The of- ficial Communist Party Newspaper Pravda said today that Japan is facing serious difficulties" in the Pacific var and made 1t clear to it's Russian readers that nothing can save Japan from complete and crushing defeat.
 Pravda said Japail's production Is hopelessly out-classed by the enor- nous expansion of American The duStrial power which, 1t said, Is the determining factor in war.
 The article paralleled similar theses expounded by American ob- servers and by Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill in commons this week, but its message, which will be read from one end of the Soviet Union to the other, is bound to have tremendous influence in pre- pairing Russian public opinion for events in the Pacific.
 (Handler's dispatch, passed by Russian censors, did not amplify the reference to preparing public opinion" for coming developments in the Pacific conflict, in which the Soviet Union thus far has remained neutral0
 The article was written by Pray da's military expert, Evgeni zuh- da's military expert, Evgeni Zuhu- kov. who repeatedly stressed the point that Japan's situation has become hopeless as a result of the unprecedented speed-up in the military and industrial development of the United States
