They reported their observations
by wireless.
japanese bombers and torpedo
planes thereupon started at once

Although a violent storm ragged
ut the time, the Japanese planes
made low-level attacks, dropping
bombs and launching torpedoes from
low altitude and quite close to the
ships of the enemy convoy.
"In spite of the violent fire Of
anti-aircraft guns on the enemy
ships, one ship after the other was
attacked and sunk by the japanese
planes.
"In the meantime enemy pursuit
planes had started and violent air
fights ensued, in the course of which
no fewer than Al enemy planes were
shot down by Japanese planes.
After nightfall japanese naval
formations appeared on the scene
and opened violent fire on the re-
manning enemy ships.
"The action continued with un-
diminished violence all night and

Thursday. Mr.. May, he added, was
sympathetic with the purpose of
this measure"
Representative Eberharter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, who blocked
action on the Rankin bill last week,
said he believed the House should
defer action because of the absence
of ajority of members during the
informal recess.
Representative Cochran pointed
out the possible bad effect on morale
that would result from making some
payments now and holding up others
until November, or after necessary
forms have been filled out by de-
pendents.
"You can easily see," he added,
what the effect might be if the wife
of a man serving in the United States
received her check in August and
her next-door neighbor, whose hus-
band was serving in Australia, could
not get hers until November"

New Guinea.
At Salamaua, Allied medium
bombers set supply ship af1ame
with two direct bomb hits, blew up
several buildings, hit harbor install
lations and silenced anti-aircraft
positions, it was announced.
Salamaua is the enemy's most i'm
portant base in New Guinea while
Rabaul is the chief Japanese base
in New Britain, part of the Bis
marck Archipelago.
The complete absence Of japanese
bombing activity in the northwest
ern sector and the limiting of activ-
ity in the northeast of defensive
aerial fighting emphasized the
effectiveness of the Allied attacks
in support of the Solomon Islands
battle.
The communique said Allied
ground patrols inflicted casualties
on the japanese in the Kokoda
area, on the Papuan Peninsula, but
this action was believed here to have
been light.
Coinciding with the attack on the
Solomons, a task force of the United
States Pacific Fleet went into action
thousands of miles to the north,
bombardlng japanese ships and
shore bases at Kiska, one of three
enemy occupied Aleutian Islands
stretching southwest of Alaska.
A Washington communique indi-
Gated this attack was over, but re-
suits probably will not be known
until the attacking force returns to

"In general, the industry awaits
