comment today on Russian demands
for prompt trial and punishment of

The Navy reported today that
American surface ships had bom-
barded the japanese on North
western Guadacanal, causing
heavy explosions and fires with
direct hits on ammunition dumps.
This was the first mention of the
presence of American naval ships
in the Solomon Island area since
the Japanese began landing heavy
reinforcements on Guadalcanal
October 13.
The Navy said also Japanese posi-
tions were being steadily pounded
by American planes, with Allied
heavy bombers attacking the con-
centration of enemy warships and
transports in the Shorthand Island
area and Navy and Marine planes
joining the attack on the enemy
positions.
Is Jap Planes Destroyed.
An attempt by flight of ap-
proximately 20 enemy bombers
escorted by an equal number of
fighter planes to bomb the Ameri-
can positions on Guadalcanal yes
terday, a Navy communique said,
resulted in destruction of eight of
the bombers and IL of the escorting
Zeros, with two of the American
fighters lost.
On October 16, dive bombers at
tackled the enemy at Rekata Bay,
bombing several anti-aircraft bat
teries, leaving fuel storage facilities
burning, and strafing and burning
II enemy seaplanes.
American fighter planes shot down
one twin-engined japanese bomber
and Army Flying Fortresses de-
stroyed a large enemy flying boat.
On the same day, four direct
bomb hits completed the destruc-
ton of two enemy transports pre-
viously damaged and beached on
the northwest coast of Guadal-
canal.
On October IT, said the COM
munique, American surface ships
shelled the enemy positions on
Guadalcanal, and the japanese on
the island were under attack by
American planes throughout the
day. However, Japanese surface
forces shelled the American install
lations on the north coast of the
island that night.
Kiska Attacked Again.
The communique also reported
that on October IT Army Liberator
bombers had attacked the japanese
camp at Kiska in the Aleutian
Islands and bombed the ships
beached in the harbor.
Fifteen tons of bombs were DROP
ped at Kiska, but an overcast sky
prevented observation of the re-
suits.
The bombers encountered no en-
emy aircraft at Kiska and anti
aircraft fire was light.
The communique said American
forces on Guadalcanal had reported
no recent troop activity or enemy
landings on the island. There have
been no landings reported by the
Japanese there since october Is.
The destruction of enemy planes
in the Solomons reported in this
communiQue brought the total jap
anese aircraft losses in that area to
$40. American forces also have sunk
or damaged 81 enemy ships In the
Solomons battle.
