SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 7.—(AP)

—Australian troops have scaled the

last steep grades leading to the

gap through the rugged Owen Stanley

Mountains in Southern New

Guinea and there still is no sign

of Japanese forces retreating toward

their base at Buna, on the

island's northeast coast, dispatches

from the battlefront said today.

The flight of the Japanese, plus

the appearance yesterday of a Japanese

convoy heading northward

from Buna deepened the mystery

over the enemy activity. It still was

not clear here whether the convoy,

which was attacked by American

bombers, had attempted to land

reinforcements or was withdrawing

enemy forces from Southern New

Guinea.

By the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 6.—A rising tide of revolt by once-free men

of Scandinavia against Nazi overlordship was reported today

in news dispatches and broadcasts telling of a state of civil

emergency in the important Norwegian coastal district of

Trondheim and of Denmark's

struggle to escape total engulfment

in the Reich.

These reports and recent hints of

peace feelers by Finland, plus German

dissatisfaction with the political

course of Sweden projected a

broad picture of a weakening German

grip in the north.

The Navy Department disclosed
tonight that a determined

troops have occupied positions
within 125 miles of the enemy

A communique said that army detachments,

of the Aleutians, and established
airfields within easy striking distance
of the Japanese forces.
Installations at Kiska island,
which the Japanese have held tot

Oct. 3.—(INS)—Rugged Australian
troops, supported by American

on the heels of retreating
Japanese to within five miles of
the heart of the gap through the
Owen Stanley mountains of New
Guinea.
Advancing over a jungle-clad
ridge 3,500 feet above sea level,
the Aussies were farcing their way
toward the northern slopes of the
massive Owen Stanley range in a
drive that has carired them some
(i5 miles along winding mountain
trails from the Allied base of Fort
Moresby.
In the week since the counterpush
began, the Australians have
encountered no major Japanese resistance
since the opening battle

with greater powers to curb inflation then ever were

order applying the brakes* to wartime living costs

Prodded into action by the president

on his return from a two weeks

take matters into his own hands

"to see to it that the war effort is

no longer imperiled by threat of

economic chaos."
