JAPS MAKE NEW

ISLAND LANDING

Americans Expected to

Strike Quickly Against Air Base Threat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P). —American forces on Guadalcanal

Ai today were expected to strike quickly

to eliminate the threat of Japanese troops who have landed east of the

. airfield.

The new landing on the island

' appeared to represent the first move

at a comeback which Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox has warned will come. The main enemy. force on the island is west of the airfield and according to latest reports was retreating slowly before vigorous and, air and sea attacks.

Counter-Attack Possible

But it is not a rout and the new landing to the east may be designed to relieve pressure on: Japanese forces to the west. The Japanese may be planning a counter-attack against the Americans from two sides, or even three sides, since they still have troops in the mountains to the south of the airfield. The new landing to the east was accomplished Monday night (Solomons time). It was announced by the navy westerday a few hours after Knox had warned that the Japanese would come back despite American success in repulsing them in the first round of the battle of the Solomons. But Americans are ready for the second round.

eg Airmen to Take Part

American airmen, who have been blasting enemy forces on the west end of the island almost continuously for several days, were expected to play a major role in hunting out the new troops and in trying to make their position untenable. It was also possible that American surface vessels, which have shelled Japanese troops in the western sector twice within four days, would turn their guns to the east, too. The navy gave no details of the new landing, but it was presumed to involve only a relatively few troops. There was no mention of any resistance to the landing and it was presumed that there had been none.

CHILE OBJECTS ~ TO SPY REPORT

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Nov, 4 (U. P,)—Diplomatic circles were stirred today by the publication of a United States government report revealing 71 proved cases of espionage, attributed to a Nazi spy ring centered in Chile, under direction of Ludwig von Bohlen, German air attaché in Santiago. The evidence against the Nazi agents, obtained by U. S. secret service operatives, was reported to the Chilean government by the United States last June, and the report was-released here yesterday by the inf®r-American emergency advisory committee for the political defense of ‘the continent. . It was made public over the protests of Ismael Valdes Flores, Chilean member of the committee. The report said that the activities of the spy ring resulted in many sinkings of united nations ships. It was the basis for the Oct. 8 Boston speech of Undersecrétary of State Sumner Welles, that resulted

in the. postponement by Chile’s|

president, Juan Antonio Rios, of his good-will visit to the United States.

“NO COMFORT TO

ENEMIES’—HOOVER

* NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (U. P.)— Former President Herbert Hoover said today that “our enemies can get no comfort from this election.” “The platform of every single candidate—Republican, Democratic and Labor—was vigorous, efficient prosecution of the war,” he said. “There was a strong element of protest in the vote but it was the protest of insistence upon more effective organization of the war. And that can be no comfort for the enemy. “Those who believe in freedom everywhere will gain confidenee from the demonstration that freedom can hold to its protective institutions even in desperate war.”

VICHY, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—Police throughout unoccupied France were seeking today the members of an apparently tightly knit anti-axis organization responsible for bombings in the 10 largest cities which destroyed considerable property of Jacques Doriot’s pro-German popular party. : The bombs, apparently expertly constructed and supplied with time mechanisms, exploded yesterday and were = believed in direct protest against the congress of Doriot’s party which was scheduled to convene in Paris today.

City- Is Aroused

One explosive destroyed popular party headquarters in Vichy at 3 a. m., scattering propaganda tracts, photographs, calendars and other paper over a wide area and smashing windows within a 50-foot radius. Exactly one hour’ later another bomb exploded at the Vichy propaganda center, the first government office so attacked. The blasts awakened the city, but few persons ventured ‘into the blackout to investigate. At the same hours, bombs exploded in Nice, Annecy, Limoges, Clermont-Ferrand, Periguex, Marseilles, Montlucon, Roanne and Lyons. At Lyons, recently the scene of strikes and demonstrations against drafting of French workers for Germany, there were eight separate blasts.
