Australian crews in three waves of Lockheed Hudson bombers struck heavily at Dutch Portuguese Timor Island in the northwestern zone. They attacked enemy reinforce ment shipping at mast-high level in the full blaze of the afternoon sun.
 The first wave saw bomb blast big hole in 4,0O0 ton ship which burst into flames. Another ship was set afire by direct hits. The second wave hurled more bombs on these ships and the third dropped a full stick of bombs on an unidentified warship which was towing one of the damaged vessels The bombs struck square between the bow and the bridge. Observers saw one of the merchantmen nosing into the water, its crew diving from the deck and portholes to escape flames and smoke.
 Another force of planes attacked Focal in the Kai Island of the southwest coast of New Guinea, and made direct hits on a wharf and buildings.
 Lack of definite news from the Solomons meant that communica- tions of the United States attack ing fleet were still busy with opera tional messages, 1t was believed here.
 There was increasing evidence that the Japanese, fully aware of the importance of the United States attack, were trying desperately to reinforce their already strong ground and air units throughout the Solomons.
 It was believed that the enemy had been reinforced in the Tulagi area recently.
 The marines, in their attack which was believed to have put them ashore first on Tulagi and Florida Islands, which are close together at the southern end of the Solomons, were believed now to have effected a landing In force on Guad- alcanal, about IT 1-2 miles south of Florida across a dangerously swift channel.
 Trained in commando tactics. the marines were using exactly the same tactics which enabled the Japanese to infiltrate through Malaga and Burma, moved silently through rank undergrowth and de- fense tropical forest.

in the western Aleutian Islands in an effort to make the enemys po- sition untenable this winter, naval experts indicated today.
 The Navy reported in a con- munique last night that in the at tack which task force of cruisers and destroyers carried out last Saturday at Kiska Island, Japa- nese cargo ship was sunk, shore batteries were silenced and encamp- ments seriously damaged. Kiska is the principal Japanese position Ill the Aleutians.
 The weather in that area is al- ready bad, experts said, and is due to get worse in 8 few weeks. II United States forces can kep the Japanese f rom rebuilding theil shelters, they will have performed an important job. Construction work is almost impossible in the Aleutians between September anc May.
 The only enemy resistance en' countered in the naval raid wa from Japanese aircraft, presumabE land-based. An observation planS was the only loss suffered by tn American force.
 Previously, in the period froD July 2 2to August T, army and nav fliers had raided Kiska four timel One of these was a night attack b navy patrol planes.

 Six days before, on Aug. 3, Japa' nese aircraft, in their farthes eastward venture since the attack on Dutch Harbor, sought to bomk the 22-year destroyer Kane Three planes participated in the the attack, which occurred of Atks Island about 305 miles east of Kis- ka, but they failed to cause any damage, the navy said.
 The Pacific fleet task forces bombardment of enemy positions on Kiska was described as heavy" and was said to have caught the enemy of guard. Mistakin gthe first salvoS of shells for bombs, the gkit- tish Japanese opened fire with anti. aircraft batteries against planea that weren't there.

 Bremen seek a flat increase of $1 day, which is equivalent to a raise of 20 per cent. Committees of policemen and firemen have been named to represent the personnel of of the departments in heeking high CT pay.
 Though city employees are hopeful that an increase for the remainder of this year may be voted after Sept I, there seems little likelihood that this will be done. Under the charter, money not needed in one department can be transferred from another department after that date.
 Principal opposition to the pay increase is expected to come from the Waterbury Taxpayers associa- ton, which last year also opposed the efforts of municipal workers to win higher pay.

Harry Cooper, the veteran pro
from Minneapolis, scored bril-
liant 67S today to 60 into a three
way tie in the opening qualifying
round for the Professional Golf
ers Association championship at
Seaview Club.
Byron Nelson, one of the tourna-

Ben Hogan, E. j. Dutch" Har-
rison, Jimmy Thomson and Bill
Barbour posted 70s. 1t appeared
from today's low scoring that it
might be necessary to shoot as low
as 146 in the 36-hole qualifying test
to reach the match play stage on
Wednesday.
John Kinder of Plainfield, N. j.,
enlivened the proceedings by shoot
ing a hole in one on the 446-yard
18th This helped him no little in
notching 72.
Byrd was the first to score 81.
This was five strokes under par,
and with less than one third of the
field in the observers began wonder
ing what sort of score would be re-
quired to lead the field at the half
way point tonight. Byrd, like the
other sharpshooters, found the COM
paratively short course much to his
liking, and it was only question
of how many puts he could drop.
Byrd's card:
Out -- 344 444 344-34

Turnesa Has 32-35.
Byrd held the undiSputed leader
ship only about 10 minutes, or until
Corpl. Turnesa came in with his Ct.
The ClOutlng corporal shot 32-35,
and he was complaining bitterly be-
cause he didn't have a 80 on the
second nine. "I three-putted both
the 18th and 18TH" he grumbled
"One I missed on the 18th couldn't
have been feet, either"
Cooper, with his 35-32, fairly
burned up the second nine, which
is much the harder of the two
courses. On the stretch of nine
holes, starting at the fifth, Cooper
was seven under par. His card:
