cover of an overcast which made
aerial reconnaissance difficult. On
the night of August 6-7 the weather
cleared and our transports and
screening forces proceeded unop-
posed to their assigned positions,
During the early morning hours of
August 7. under the strong protec-
ton of carrier-based aircraft and
supporting fire from surface vessels,
the actual landing operations were
commenced. A complete surprise
had been effected and 18 japanese
seaplanes and small schooner were
caught in the harbor and sunk. Our
carrier based planes covered the en-
tire operation, dive bombing shore
batteries, supply stations and centers
of enemy resistance, while main
tanning an alert against possible
enemy air attack.
a. Specially trained and fully
equipped Marine Corps troops were
transported to the beaches in land

established. Varying degrees of re-
sistance were encountered, but by
nightfall our troops were in posses

Tenaru River region on Guadalcanal
and had captured most of Tulagi, all
of Gavutu, and had occupied a po-

OPA plans to hold Oil supplies in
reserve, to be doled out in special
emergencies such as illness within
a household or severe cold wave.
Good news for some householders
was supplied by Howard A. Gray,
acting director of the Offlce of Solid
Fuels Co-ordinator, who assured
there will be sufficient stocks Of
coal this winter for those who con-
vert home heaters from Oil.
In report to Mr.. Ickes, who is
the wartime co-ordinator for both
coal and petroleum, Mr. Gray said
there was no shortage of coal thus
far, and he anticipated none, though
he did warn consumers to lay in
their winter supply as soon as pos
sible
unless additional difficulties are
! met" the statement said, 'the steps
taken during the summer to pro-
vide an adequate coal supply should
result in sufficient fuel to meet all
needs, including those of consumers
who convert heating equipment
from fuel oil to coal. However, the
adequency of the supply depends
upon consumers placing their order
expeditiously and storing coal as
rapidly as it can be supplied"
Warns Against Delay.
Mr.. Gray added that, although
he did not want to raise consum-
ers' optimism to the point where
they might delay ordering coal, he
wanted to "dispel fears expressed
/ in New England and other sections
that shortage was in prospect and
that persons who were faced with

Oil to coal would not be able to OBJ

%. After reporting contact, the

one hit on the small destroyer.
IS. A striking force of Douglas
dive bombers from Guadalcanal
answered the contact report by pro-
ceeding to attack the three large
destroyers. The attack resulted in
the following damage to the enemy
"(a) One large destroyer sunk as
the result Of heavy explosion fol-

Marines had overcome all major op-
position on the islands OF Guadal
canal, Tulagi, Gavutu, Tanambogo,
Makambo and portions of Florida
Island and were engaged in pursu-
ing isolated patrols which had with
drawn to the interior.
"13. 'Mopping-up' operations have
continued to date. Several small
contingents of enemy troops have
been landed on the islands which
we hold, the largest landing having
been made by TOO troops on Guadal-
canal on August 81 Our positions
have been bombarded by surface
craft and submarines and bombed
by aircraft, but our losses as re-
suit of these attacks have been
small. Every attempt by the enemy
to recapture his lost positions has
resulted in the complete annihila-
ton or capture by United States
Marines of all troops that have
landed.
IA. On August % our reconnais-
sance aircraft observed several de-
tachments of enemy ships approach
ing Guadalcanal Island from the
north and northeastWard. The pres
ence of transports indicated that an
attempt to recapture the shore posi-
tions in the Guadalcanal- TulaO
area was intended. The action at
sea which ended in the withdrawal
of the enemy surface forces was de-
scribed in Navy Department COM

this action was in progress enemy
aircraft made three attacks in force

The Government, particularly Mr..

number of tank cars in service has
been increased from 1000 in early
1941 to $4,000. Pipe lines have been

resulted in heavy loss to the enemy
in both men and aircraft, loss of
control of all vital positions in the
Guadalcanal-Tulagi area and the
loss of large quantities of supplies
when positions were surrendered.
We suffered one destroyer damaged
but our losses in men and aircraft
during the first days operations
were moderate.
80 During the night of August 7
and throughout the following morn
ing, supplies and equipment were
hurriedly unloaded from ships and
sent ashore to assist our patrols in
consolidating their gains.
This work was carried on in the
face of sporadic attacks by scat
tered enemy troops against whom
continued assaults were made.
49, At about noon on August 8,
40 or more enemy torpedo planes
attacked our ships in the harbor
One destroyer and one unloaded
transport were hit. Twelve enemy
planes were shot down by ships
anti aircraft and fighters and two
were destroyed by gunfire from
shore batteries. During the enemy
air attacks on August 7 and August

At enemy planes of different types.
10. BY sundown on August 8, the
area occupied by our troops on
Guadalcanal Island had been ex-
! panded and the airfield, which the
japanese had nearly completed, was
IN our possession. Enemy resist
ance on the islands of Tulagi, Ga
vutu and Tanambogo had been
overcome and large quantities of
ammunition and supplies were cap
tured as well as equipment which
the japanese were using to develop
a major naval base.
Naval Thrust RepuIsed.
IL. During the night of August
8-9 unloading from transports and
cargo ships continued. The enemy
attempted to disrupt these opera
tons by a strong thrust with sur
| lace vessels. Our cruisers and des-
troyers which were covering the
operations intercepted the attack
and forced the enemy to retreat
before reaching the vessels engaged
IN the landing operations. The
close-range fighting in this action
resulted in damage to the enemy
and to our forces. BY nightfall on
August 8 unloading operations had
been completed and our transports
and cargo ships left the area.

Marine Officer Raised
First u. S. Flag Over
Conquered Jap Area

The first American flag to
fly over a conquered Japanese
stronghold in this war was a
tiny, faded piece of bunting
which a Marine lieutenant had
carried with him while soldier
ing around the world during
the last eight years.
1t. Evard j. Smell, who has
had % years of service in the
Marines, raised the flag to the
top of a pole on Guadalcanal
Island August Just eight
months after the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
1t. Smell bought the flag in
1884, and had flown it from a
barracks window in the Philip
pines, over a tent in Cuba and
as identification on ricksha
during trouble in Pekin and
Tienstin in 1897 and 1888.
When 1t Smell ran up the
flag, a group of Marines push
ing inland in pursuit of Japs
stopped long enough to cheer
then pressed on.

which spotted the japanese war

attack.
There were four destroyers in the
