SHIPS BOMBED

Medium bombers struck heavily
at enemy shipping off the south
coast of Timor, damaging heavily
by three direct hits an enemy de-
stroyer, setting fire to a medium
cargo ship with three more direct
hits and probably sinking smaller
cargo ship with two hits. They did
this without the loss of plane.
Another fleet of medium bombers
heavily attacked the big Japanese
base of Rabaul in the Bismarck IS
lands east of New Guinea and
northwest of the Solomons, starting
fires among airdrome installations
which they saw so miles away as
they flew homeward, and destroying
one enemy bomber which got IN
their way.
The pattern of the Allied bombing
attacks showed clearly that Mac
Arthur's aerial forces were support
ing the Solomon islands forces OF
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific, and
Vice Admiral Robert Lee Ghormley,
commanding in the south Pacific. by
preventing the japanese from rem
forcing the Garrison under attack
at Tulagi.
JAPS HARD PRESSED
It was indicated that the enemy,
sorely pressed, might be starting
reinforcements from as far away
as Dutch Portuguese Timor, 2,7OO
miles from the battle scene.
Nimitz. at his headquarters at
Pearl Harbor, was silent pending
reports which would permit him TO
give a clear picture of the trend
and the outcome of the battle, and
Macarthur confined himself to re-
porting developments in his own
zone.
But unofficial reports indicated
clearly that the battle had developed
as follows:
PREPARATION
|. MacArthur's Allied planes
persistently raided Japanese bases
over the entire northeastern zone
in New Guinea, the BiSmarcks and
the Solomons, to soften up air
dromes. smash installations and
sink shipping which the japanese
might use in the SolomonS battle.
2. Nimitz' and Ghormleys naval
forces, protecting transport-borne
landing force of United States ma
rines and soldiers. opened a heavy
bombardment of the Tulagi harbor
area. nesting off the southwest
coast of Florida island, Friday
morning.
3. The Japanese rushed all planes
and warships possible into actioi
and opened a heavy attack ON the
Allied naval force.
4. The Japanese met a foimid
able force of United States ilaVal
planes.

beaches anl began their fight tC
consolidate positions from which
step by step. week by week and
month by month, the Allied forces
mean to drive their way toward the
Philippines and Tokyo

lied naval and air forces still fought
the enemy while MacArthur's planes
sought to keep off reinforcements.

| Police Enlistment
In Armed Forces

The District Commissioners today
declared it their intention not to
permit any more members o. the
Metropolitan Police Force to enlist
in the armed forces. They stated, in
a letter to the House District Com
mittee in reply to an inquiry made
last week, that they feel the present
police force here is more important
to the protection of the public than
would be the service of individual
members in the Army.
The Commissioners also disclosed
that they are issuing a new type of
wartime license for men to operate
furnaces in apartment houses and
similar large buildings due to the
shortage of manpower. This letter
was also in reply to an inquiry from
the District Committee, arising from
complaints that men without per-
mits were operating heating and
power plants.
The new license covers the opera
ton Of plants of "a horsepower or
over. The employers are required to
certify, that the plants have been
operated satisfactorily. A small
license fee is charged and the
licenses are renewable.

D. {. Bar Association
Told |dPermanentP Peace
Depends on Law
District Court Justice
Says Legal Methods
Should Be Followed

In this Nation we can solve eco
nomic and social problems under
law without dictation, Chief Justice
Edward C. Eicher of District Court
told the District Bar Association
last night at a meeting at the May
flower Hotel
The rights of minorities are not
crushed by those in power and "our
Government is government by law
and not a government by men," the
jurist declared.
This is a war for the survival of
government by law. Only under
law are men free" he added.
World Law Suggested.
While the majority should make
the policies of government, the
rights of minorities should not be
overridden in a constitutional gov
ernment, he said. contrasting our
open elections to the controlled and
puppet forms used by the dictators.
To secure world peace there
should be a world law for world
society, the jurist told the barristers
and his associates of the District
bench. who were guests of honor.
To achieve world permanent peace
after the war there should be estab-
lished proper legal means of han
ding chickering's between nations so
justice of claims could be adequately
handled. In this connec' on he re-
viewed points of the League of
Nations in its attempt toward this
end.
1t. Merritt Williams, chaplain on
the Inflated aircraft carrier Wasp,
told the story of the vessels last
minutes before she was sunk by
Japanese torpedoes.
He denounced national publi-
cation for its remarks about the loss
of the craft. He declared no man
HAS the right to use the words
shameful and Wasp in the same
sentence. She was a proud ship
in the true tradition of the Navy
Men Hated to Leave.
1t. Williams said the crew manned
their battle stations to the last
minute. A number of men, he said,
refused to leave the ship not
through fear of going into the water,
but for love and admiration for the
Wasp and had to be ordered over
the side.
The association adopted resolu-
ton declaring that the practice and
clientele of lawyers in the armed
forces should be preserved for them
on their return and that law Offices
should post reminders of this in
the rooms.
"It is therefore hoped that every
client whose attorney is in the mill
tary or naval service" will resume
"his former relationship with such
attorney after the war;" the asso-
citation said.
