the African front may soon burst into action with the arrival at his

culation of axis rumors that an ~ allied move is impending against ~ the West African coast.

Nazi reports indicated that strong &

. axis air reinforcements were being diverted to Africa, hinting that Withdrawals of luftwaffe units are being made from Russia. The shift of luftwaffe squadrons to Africa was thought to explais, in part, the sudden renewal of air battling over Malta.

25 More Planes Downed

Since Saturday German and Italian air squadrons have been

making regular day and night at-);

tacks on the British rock bastion despite mounting losses against the defending royal air force Spitfire squadrons. The British fighters brought down another 25 axis planes yesterday with a loss of only five of their own machines. The total -axis aircraft destroyed or dam‘aged since Satulday was well over the 100-mark.

Without the fanfare of roaring airplanes overhead, speeches and long ceremonies, four Indianapolis men last week received their silver wings at Foster field, Tex. They were part of the large graduating class which marched up, received their wings, saluted smartly and turned to begin their active flying duty. All have requested immediate action.

" At the same time Berlin reported that Rommel was back at his African quarters where he was said to be studying “enemy movements” and improving the position of his own front lines. Rommel had gone to Berlin for the Nazi winter relief meeting at which Hitler spoke and presumably / conferred on winter lars for, e desert. the /same time the Nazi-con-Tob Paris press intensified its rumor-mongered concerning alleged allied plans to move against Dakar or other West African points. Paris newspapers were filled with stories expressing anxiety over defenses of the French African outposts and reports of massing allied troops in Gambia, south of Dakar, and of the purported presence of an allied convoy somewhere off Dakar, The Nazi press claimed that Freetown had been visited by unknown aircraft and that unusual British activity had been noted at Gibraltar. : There was no comment from London on these reports. However, it was believed that African matters were to the fore in conferences with Field Marshal Premier Jan Smuts of South Africa who arrived in London after a hurried trip by air.

Chicago Attorney Identifies Nelson as Gunner Who

Forced Indiana Ride.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15 (U. P)— Charles P. Kal, Chicago- attorney, has identified Mathew Nelson, one of seven escaped Statesville convicts, as the armed man who forced him to drive to neighboring Indiana towns, police said today. Nelson was one of the group led over the wall at Statesville prison Friday by Roger Touhy, former Chicago gang leader, and Basil Banghart, Touhy’s lieutenant. Kal said the man he drove was accompanied by a woman, or possibly a man in woman’s clothing. He told police at Hammond, Ind. that the “woman” bore resemblance to photographs of Edward Darlak, another of the escapees. Kal offered the pair a ride yesterday in the southwestern of Chicago. The. man leaped into the car and threatened him with a gun, he told authorities. The “woman” got into the rear of the car and pressed a metal object which he believed to be a gun against the back of his neck.

The couple ordered Kal to drive I

to an interurban line near Gary, where the man got out. The “woman” told him to head back

istry said today.

Resistance Stiffening

The United Press dispatch sent from a New Guinea base last night, said Japanese resistance had stiffened and the enemy had posted a covering : force branches of the tortuous mountain trail. The country was such that greatest caution was necessary. At the gap, the jungle thins and there is every opportunity for ambush among the misty-shrouded bluffs and beside the twisting trail.Enemy troops were using mortars, really glorified grenade throwers, which they had used with great success in the Philippines. The Australians had left their artillery behind and were using only light weapons which they can carry as they climb. Though Japanese resistance was

from the front plainly intimated that an advance to Kokoda, 5000 feet down the mountainside on the Buna side, was increasingly likely. North American B-25 medium bombers on armed reconnaissance bombed Japanese supply bases in he Wairopi village area on the Buna side of Kokoda yesterday in an attempt to embarrass further the Japanese supply corps.
