 Somewhere in the Pacific (De- layed)-Five Japanese tanks came numbering over a ridge one even- ing at Peleliu ana more went back. American Marines, with the aid of a single field gun, blasted them all into smoking ruins within a few minutes.
 Here's the way it was" related Platoon Sergt. Harry F. Young, of 1927 Edison avenue, Sunbury, Pa.: We were dug in below 8 ridge, with a 75 nm. gun behind us. Just at dusk five Jap tanks came over the top of the ridge and pushed right thorugh our lines.
 "A bazooka team, firing from a spot that the Japs had passed. got another one. A rifle grenade took care of third. The two tanks that were left kept blazing away, but a bazooka got one. And the last one got hit with everything at once by a bazooka, a rifle grenade, and a shell from the 75. Almost before it started the whole thing was over.
 Platoon Sergt. Young came over- seas as a private 29 months ago. He is a veteran of the Guadalcanal and New Britain campaigns.
 My outfit had quite time of it cleaning out Jap pillboxes at Peleliu," Young said. After work ing our way up close, we'd use flame throwers, bazookas, and hand gren- ades against the front end. As the Japs were forced out the other end we took care of them with rifles and automatic weapons.
 "Our General Shermans were knocking the Jap tanks silly. One us to meet two Jap tanks that were day two of our tanks went out past moving ahead. Three shots from the Sherman crippled one of the enemy; then a direct hit from the other Sherman blew the second in- to Smithereens. It felt good to have those ShermanS on our side

Powerful Northern Armies Strike Last Resistance
 of Germans

MOSCOW, Sept. z6 Russia's powerful northern armies today hammered at the final small pocket of German resistance in Estonia and began organizing their assault on the two key islands guarding the Baltic Sea approaches to Riga, the islands of Ristna and Osel dominating the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, southeast of the Gulf of Finland. Lying some six miles off Estonia's west coast, they could be by-passed indefinitely by the Russians, but as long as the enemy garrisons remain there, they are of certain nuisance value.
 On the west coast of the Es- tonian mainland, Govorov's Lenin- grad Army captured all important ports except Virtsu. A communique last night announced the fall of Haapsula, Estonia's third port, 63 miles southwest of Tallinn. Soviet forces also held Tarnu, on the southwest coast.
 Tn the battle for Warsaw, the Seth day brought no fresh news from official Russion sources, but Polish sources, just back from the Vistula frontline, declared the Ger mans are being showed back steadily.
 German and Hungarian rein forcements appeared and parried temporarily the Red Army's inva- sion thrust in southeastern Hun gary. No Russian advance has been mentioned in the past 48 hours.
 The Moscow communique an nounced the capture of Berehy Burne, three miles from the Cze- choslovakian frontier. Troops are massed along this frontier for a distance of 50 miles Combined Russian and Slovak forces con- tinued to send patrols into Slo- vakia.

LONDON, Sept. 26--The Allied Command today put the mantle of secrecy on the fierce battle for Dutch Arnheim, but few hours later the German propaganda agency declared the entire British airborne division there had been wiped out.
 The latest news from Allied Headquarters before the security ban was imposed said that the Red Devil' Division on the north bank of the upper Rhine, near Arnheim, was being thinly SUD- piled and had high morale.
