made to save her while destroyers
sought out the submarine. 1t was
believed the submarine was Ger
tainly damaged and possibly sunk" "
In the early morning OF the fol-
lowing day, the Navy said. the
Yorktown capsized and sank as a
result of the cumulative effect Of
the wounds inflicted by the aerial
bombs, aerial torpedoes and sub
marine torpedoes.
The Navy explained that because
it had good reason to believe the
Yorktown's loss was not known
to the enemy, it had withheld the
announcement pending develop
ments which were vital to the oper-
ations which have been in progress
in the south Pacific since early Aug
ust." These operations apparently
referred to the Solomons campaign.
The Yorktown was skippered by
Capt. Elliott Buckmaster, a native
of Brooklyn, N. Y. whose home now
is in Columbus, Ohio.
The loss OF the yorktown brought
TO AZ the number OF U. S. naval
vessels lost by enemy action or
other causes SO far in this year.
This total included % fleet type
combat vessels.
Japanese losses so far total at
least 258 ships sunk, probably sunk
or damaged. This figure includes
merchant types.
The yorktown was alnong the
fastest of the U. S. carriers, which
prior TO the outbreak of war num-
bered seven. So far the Navy has
lost two carriers, the Yorktown and
the Lexington.

Marines Battle Renewed
jan Attack on SoIomons

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 CUPD
49, Combat -toughened Marines are
battling fiercely today to hold
Guadalcanal in the Solomon islands
against a determined drive by the
japanese on land, air and sea to
retrieve their lost positions.
Outcome of the battle still is in
doubt, but the Marines are main
tanning their positions, have repuls-
ed an enemy attempt TO capture
the important airfield on the is
land. and are taking a heavy toll
of enemy aircraft.
The renewed battle of Guadal-
canal, representing the third ma
jor phase of the battle of the Sol
onions, has been in progress since
Saturday night. A Navy commun-
ique last night described the new
japanese offensive as an "intensi-
fled" attempt 70 retake lost posi-
tions.

One defending shore battery Scor-
ed hits on a. japanese warship
which was Smelling American posi-
ticns on Guadalcanal last SatUr-
day night and early Sunday morn
ing. That brought to 20 the num-
Der of japanese ships sunk or dam
aged in the Battle of the Solomons.
One of the most dangerous
thrusts By the enemy-an attempt
to recapture Guadalcanal air field
was beaten off by the Marines
during the early hours of Monday
morning. That airfield, scooped
out of the jungles by the japanese,
is being used by American airmen
and is one of the keystones in the
defense of the positions won in the
Solomons.
The Marine defenders have been
under almost constant aerial and
Naval bombardment since the Jap
anese renewed their attempt-seem-
ingly the most determined-to re-
coup from the defeat administered
early in August.
Disclosure that the Guadalcanal
battle had been renewed was made
several hours after a high Naval
official told reporters that he
thought American forces could hold
what they have gained in the south
west Pacific That official, Rear
Admiral w H. P. Blandy, chief OF
the Bureau of Ordnance, said his
recently-completed 10000 mile tour
Of the Pacific, convinced him that
for the present, the balance of
striking power in the Pacific was
in this country's favor.

1st All Purpose
Ration Booklets
Sent to Printer

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6-(UP)-
The office of price administration
today sent to the government print
ing office an order for the first is
sue of l50.O00,0O0 "al-purpoSe" ra-
ton books designed for rationing
any article or commodity.
OPA said they would be distrib-
uted to each of the nations 1872
100000 persons as soon as possible,
probably shortly before Christmas,
Safeguarded against counterfeit
ing and stamped with the great seal
of the United States, these pocket
size. manila bound books eventually
will become an essential part CT
the life of every man, woman, and
child as war needs dig deeper and
deeper into civilian supplies.
Unlike war ration book No. /,
which already has been distributed
for sugar rationing the "all-pur-
pose" books are not being issued
for rationing of any specific COM
modify. They are designed in such
a manner that they can be used
when shortages develop in sup
plies of virtually any commodity.
They cannot be used to ration
gasoline. fuel oil, typewriters, BIZ
cycles or similar articles which do
not have universal use because ra-
ton cards for such articles must
be distributed only among persons
who are normal consumers.
As the official put it; 1T would
defeat the purpose of rationing
if two-year-old babies were eligible
for typewriters the same way they
are eligible for sugar"
