LAPS DESPERATE
 IN ISLAND BATTLE
SolomOns Control May Turn OutO Be Crucial in
 Pacific Control

Auckland, N. g., August 28-1C p. m. (5:30 a. m. EWT)-(UP) = The third phase of the Solomon Islands battle was reported to be underway tonight, apparently 8 desperate enemy attempt to wipe out the most powerful Allied naval concentration the Japanese have yet met.
 Some quarters here believed that the turning point of the present phase of the Pacific war may hinge on the outcome of the events now in progress.
 It was said that the next few hours may tell the story.
 There was some belief that the Japanese may be making a final attempt-for the present-to neu- tralize the Allied naval concentra- tions assembled against this theater of war.
 It was not believed that the major Japanese objective at the moment is to regain the ground they have lost in the Solomons.
 Regardless of the outcome of the third phase of the Solomons strug- gle the fighting in this area will not be over. The Solomons are too important an objective for that.
 There is no official information available regarding the current struggle. However, an unofficial source in closec ontact with opera tions took a most optimistic atti- tlIde.

CHINESE RETAKE
 AIRPORT TOWN
Japs Retreat Eastward From Chahsien Destroy
 Airport By Fire

Chungking, Aug. 28- (UP) - The important airport city of Chuhsien was recaptured by the Chinese this morning when the Japanese forces retreated eastward from the town and airport they had destroyed by fire, the Chinese Central News Agency reported today.
 The Japanese, falling back before Chinese assaults that have driven them from IT county seat towns in Chekiang and Kinangsi Province during August, prepared for their retreat from Chuhsien by burning 1t.
 All week, while the Chinese ec- gagged the rear-guard forces of the enemy in the outksirts of the city, flames leaped high above the ancient walls and heavy pail of smoke filled the sky. This morning, when the Chinese forces swept in side the walls at 4 a. m., the agency said, the town was in ashes.
 Roads and bridges east of Chuh- sien also had been destroyed to cover the enemy's retreat. At the big airport, the finest in eastern China and one from which Ameri- can long range bombers could take of to attack the Japanese main land, they had destroyed hangars and other buildings and damaged the runways.
 Other Chinese assaults drove the invaders from the towns of Suic- hang, in southern Chekiang prov ince, and Tuchang, on the shores of Lake Poyac, military reports said. Another force reportedly was press ing the attack on Lishui, another important airdrom city.

.MEATLESS DAY A
 WEEK CONSIDERED
President Says Regulation May Be Enforced By
 Government
(NEA Radiophoto)

Washington, Aug. 28-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt said today that the government is considering instituting one meatleSs day 8 week.
 MT. Roosevelt told press confer ence that the plan is being studied largely as a means of saving oceanic shipping space for the total war ef- fort. He said it would make 30 to 40 Allied ships available for hauling war necessities to worldwide thea ters of United Nations war activities where they are vitally needed.
 He explained that this would be accomplished by having most of the meat for United Nations soldiers shipped from this country instead of from such far-away places as Aus tralia and South America. That, he added, would mean there would be less meat for civilian consumption here, but would mean that shipping space would not be tied up for as long a time in taking the meat to the war theaters.
 The president said he had dis cussed the shipping situation with Prime Minister Peter Fraser of New Zealand, now visiting here.
 The primary question, MT. Roose- welt explained, is how to use avail able shipping space, rather than where meat should be shipped and who should ship it.
 For example, he said, a good deal of American meat could be shipped to nations in need, and this would save an appreciable volume of ship ping from such nations as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
 The president said that while nothing had been decided, 1t had been established by government studies that meatless day in this country would release about 30 to 40 United Nations ships now hauling food to and from distant nations and make these vessels available for transportation of actual instruments of war.
 Asked when a decision would be made on whether to invoke a meat less day in this country, the presi- dent said the time element was un- decided and that the whole matter still is being studied.

BRITISH TARS | FOUND AT SEA
5 Survivors Tell How Axis U-BOat Sank Boat in
 Atlantic
BY JOHN sCAI1

h%OeARA8
 United Press Stan COFrespondent)
 A New England Port, Aug. 28 = (UP)-Parched and starved after IS days in an open boat in mid-Atlan- tic without food or water, five Brit ish seamen disclosed today how an Axis U-boat torpedoed and sans their small merchant ship and brought death to 36 companions.
 Their waterlogged little vessel partly filled with water as result oi 8 collision with another ship in fog the day before the attack, over- turned and sank in three minutes after the torpedo exploded.
 Four of the survivors were res- cued from a small metal life raft. A fifth was taken from a partly-fl lifeboat 35 miles away. Some were nearly delirious from drinking sea water, but physicians at New Eng land hospital expected all would re- cover despite the ordeal.
 The men believed 29 crew mem- bers went down with the ship. The other seven, who succeeded in launching liferafts, either drowned jumped overheard or were carried away by the pounding waves. Among the missing was Capt. w. G. I. Rogers of Cardiff, Wales.
 First Officer William M. Duncan of Aberdeen, Scotland, lone sur- vivor in the lifeboat, told how he and two companions chung to the overturned craft two days before managing to right it.
 "The boat was half filled with water when we got aboard" he said, land we were too weak to fail it out. Later, one of the men fell in- to the water at the bottom of the boat. He lay still. We pulled him out and tried artificial respiration, but he was dead. We slipped him over the side"
 Duncan said his remaining com- panion later became deranged and jumped overheard. Then he con- tinued pitifully:
 When I finally saw the ship coming to rescue me I thought I was at a picnic at the beach and I tried to warn the ship it was coming too close to shore"
 Fifty-year old George Cuthbert of South Shields, England insisted on walking off the rescue vessel unas- sisted upon arrival here. Others with him were Stanley Powell of Keighley, Yorkshire; Frank Kirk wood of Edinburgh, Scotland, and third officer Kenneth Eaton of Seansea, South Wales.
 Eaton said one of the three rafts disappeared after the third day. Later another began to break up in the churning sea. Two of its oc- cupants transferred to Eaton's raft.
 "The other man a Free = refused to change. The next morning the raft still floated, the Frenchman was gone"
 Eaton said one of the raft's five occupants died and was buried at sea. The four survivors ripped a floation tank loose and used it as shelter from wind and rain.
