FINAL ACTION TO-DAY

Final House action on the bill
to raise the pay of all enlisted
men and the allowances of most
officers is due today.
Yesterday the House tentatively
approved in committee of the
whole an amendment by Rep. John
E. Rankin (D) of Mississippi rails
ing the base pay of privates from
$21 and $50 to $50 month, and
the base pay of apprentice seamen
from $50 to $50.
The original bill approved by the
House military affairs committee
called for raises to S42 a month
for those categories, the same rate
already approved by the Senate.
OTHER INCREASES
Under Rankin's amendment the
pay of first class privates and sec
ond class seamen would be in
creased from $50 to S54 a month.
The bill previously agreed to by
the Senate would have raised these
ratings to S48 a month.
Rankins amendment was APP
proved by the House over the OPP
position of Chairman Andrew j.
May Cd of Kentucky and other
members of the military affairs
committee who probably will rep
resent the House on the confer
ence committee.
Senator Ed c. Johnson CD of
Colorado. who sponsored the bill in
the Senate, declined comment on
the Rankin amendment, but said
the final bill would undoubtedly be
the product of a conference COM
mittee.
The Senate and the military af-
fairs committees have both COM
mitted themselves in favor of q
S42-a-month pay scale for privates
and apprentice seamen.

have joined in the defense of Guad- alcanal, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson announced at his press conference today.
 Stimson said it was the preroga- tive of the Navy to report current activities there but that he could disclose that army troops were as- sisting the Navy in the defense of the southwest Pacific outpost against the Japanese.
 Navy reports previously had dis closed that army air force units were assisting the Navy and Mar ines in battling the Japanese on Guadalcanal.
 Stimson also announced that U. s. Army air and ground troops are now stationed in New Zealand, New Caledonia, the New Hebrides and Fiji Islands.
 Stimson's disclosure came with mounting indications that the Jap anese are preparing for a do-or-die battle to retake Guadalcanal, key island of the Solomons group which was taken by Marines at the outset of the battle of the Solomons more than two months ago.
 His announcement was the first revelation that army forces are sta toned in New Zealand. the New Hebrides and the Fiji Islands. Their presence in New Caledonia was made public several months ago.
 American troops in the South Pa- cific are under the command of Ma ior General Willard F. Harmon. His headquarters are in New Zealand. but he spends most of his time in New Catalonia, Stimson said.

 A communique issued by Gen Douglas MacArthur, announcing that his men had reached the Templeton's Crossing area, said fighting was in progress, and United Press dispatches from New Guinea, sent by courier two days ago, report ed that the fighting had now passed the long phase of patrol actions.
 The Australians had found the unburied bodies of three Japanese, evidently part of a rear guard, in the area.
 The country was such that great est 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 glorifled grenade throwers which they had used with great success in the Philippines. The Aus tralians had left their artillery be- hind and were using only light weapons they can carry as they climb.
 Though Japanese resistance was stiffening, Australian dispatches from the front plainly intimated that an advance to Kokoda, 5000 feet down the mountainside on the Buna said, was increasingly likely
