 "A force of marines of the United States Pacific fleet made a success full landing on Japanese held Maxim island Aug. IT. The purpose of the expedition was to destroy installa- tions of this enemy seaplane base, This purpose was accomplished in ite entirety and the force has been withdrawn.
 Known enemy losses inflicted by the marines are At least 30 Japa- nese killed, the radio installation and stores destroyed and one large and one small seaplane destroyed on the water.
 "Other losses were inflicted on the enemy forces by heavy bombing at- tacks by their own aircraft from other bases which were attempting to assist them.
 "Ships of our expedition gunned and sank one Ernal transport and one gunboat.
 Considering the nature of this operation our force suffered only moderate losses.
 "The naval offlcer commanding the expedition was Commander John M. Haines, U. s. Navy. The Marines were commanded by Lieu tenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson.

 Japs Take To Hills
 The Japanese defenders took to the hills and the jungle to escape our forces. There have been daily skirmishes between United States Marine patrols and enemy detach- ments. Tn these actions both sides have suffered casualties.
 "On August 19 the Marines with the loss of six men killed and 13 wounded wiped out a Japanese de- tachment of 92 officers and men. Enemy resistance continued until the last man was killed.

 During the darkness only hand to hand fighting was possible, but with breaking day the Marines were able to maneuver. While one bat talion held the front line another battalion moved to the flank and drove the then-withdrawing Jap- anese to the beach.
 "The action continued until late in the afternoon.

 'The nation needs aluminium and justice badly. The WLBs record is good enough to be able to stand this admission or an error and the fighting of a wrong.

 "On a plant-by- plant basis, using the boards own stastics and meas uring rods, some 28.000 aluminium workers would be entitled to 8 wage increase to compensate for the ris- ing cost of living,," the statement said. "Yet, the WLBS decision makes such increases impossible.

JURY
 CONVICTED HIM

He took the conviction stoically, and made no protest when the court revoked the $25,0 900 bond which was furnished by parishioners for his liberty when he was arrested early in June.
 His wife, and mother of three children, was on the verge of col lapse and had to be led from the courtroom on the arm of friend.
 Peace-T Time Statute
 The Rev. Molzahn was convicted under a peace-time statute which carried maximum sentence of 20 years and fine of $5,000. Had the same accusations been made under war conditions, the penalty would have been death.
 He categorically denied all of the charges-that he aided Kunze es- cape to Mexico, furnished the Bund leader with military informa- tion, that he was a member of the Nazi party, and attended meetings of the German-American Bund.
 Kunze, on the other hand, freely admitted his part in the conspiracy. He was captured in Mexico while reportedly making preparations to get back to Germany in a small boat. But the Bund leader, called as a defense witness exonerated the Philadelphia pastor of the gov- ernment charges.
 Kunze, Ebell and Willumeit were temporarily remanded to the fed- eral correctional prison at Danbury, awaiting transfer to penitentiary.
 When the pastor is presented in court Tuesday for sentencing, Judge Smith will hear defense arguments to set aside the verdict. If this motion is denied, 1t was believed that defense counsel James w. Carpenter would file intentions to appeal to the district court of ap- peals.
 Government Prosecutor Thomas J. Dodd had moved for the immedi- ate imposition of sentence, declar- ing the pastor was not in the po- sition of an ordinary traitor-he was clothed in the cloth of a distin- guished church."
 However, he did not strongly op- pose defense argument to have the sentence delayed until next week.

Despite the fact that the voting period was three hours longer, vot- ing was far lighter yesterday than 1t had been in the 1940 senatorial primaries.
 Someone attempted to cast a let terhead of J. E. Smith and Con- pany as 6 ballot in District 5-2. It was voided.
 During the campaign the CIO charged that J. Francis Smith, head of the firm, was a behind-thc- scenes leader of the party organiza- ton.
 MT. Tobin received the congratu- lations of scores of friends at the Elks Club, where he and his cam paign leaders went immediately after the polls were closed. He re- ceived the first news that he had been elected from The Democrat.
 The Blansf1eld margin of victory in the 18th district was overwhelm- ing. It far exceeded the margin by which MT. BlanSfleld defeated the late Senator George T. Culhane two years ago.

 A mystery British criticism of the Actresses in British newspapers as less suitable than British-made bombers for bombing Germany was cleared up today.
 The criticism was based on the &irst flying fortresses sent to Britain . year ago. The British found that tor European combat purposes they were lightly protected, slow and carried an inenlciently light bomb load.
 The United States Army Air Force fortresses now in action are new types. They are fast, heavily arm pred, so heavily gunned that they are already the dread of enemy fighter pilots, 50 tough that they can come home shot full of holes, Rnd expertly manned.
 Further, unlike the first fortresseS which came to Britain, they have the secret bomb sight which has permitted them to bomb targets SO accurately that Allied fighter pilots who accompany them are amazed.
