WASHINGTON, Oct. "a.
(UP)-The senate today vot-
ed 80 to 81 to insist on a

1S and 19-year-old youths be-

1t adopted an amendment by Sen.

just before the vote, Senate DEM

told his colleagues that air corps
mechanics can be trained in three

men must be held in the United

otherwise be bombing the enemy.

NAVY Reorganizes
Pacific Command
In Major Shakeup
SOlOmOns Commander
Ousted; Other Changes
Made in Personnel

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a.
(UP)-The navy today an
nounced a sweeping shake-up
of it's high command in the
south acific = including the
Solomon islands, where American
forces are struggling to hold vital
Guadalcanal. The reorganization
puts Vice Admiral William F.. Hal
sey in command of the area.
Halsey has been a Pacific fleet
task force commander and headed
several raids on Japanese bases, in
cluding the highly-Successful foray
against the Marshall and Gilbert
islands last January He was award
ed the Distinguished Service Medal
for that raid.
He succeeds Vice Admiral Robert
Lee Ghormley, who has been COM.
mander of the south Pacific area
since the command was established
last spring. Ghormle"'s new duties
were not announced Immediately.
1t was Ghormley who launched the
first operations in the Solomons.
EFFECT ON SOLOMONS
What effect the command shake
up will have on the battle of the
Solomons could not be discerned
Immediately. Ghormley has been in
charge of the entire operation up
to now, beginning more than two
months ago when Marines invaded
six islands in the Guadalcanal area
and gained their first footholds.
Only open criticism of conduct OF
the Solomons campaign was voiced
a week ago by Rep. John H. Co.'S
tello, D. Calf, a member of the
house military affairs committee.
He told the house last Saturday
that he feared the navy had at
tempted to make a 'grand-stand
play" in the Solomons by waging
the campaign without consulting
the army or seeking its cooperation
MUCH AT STAKE
American forces in the Solomons
now are apparently concentrated
on Guadalcanal, site of a strategi-
cally vital airfield first constructed
by the Japanese before the Marines

Mrs. Bennett then turned in a
fire alarm While she was at the
alarm box Mrs. Warden returned
into the burning building, evident
ly in an attempt to save personal

enter the smoke-filled house a Sec
ond time and bring out the elderly

But there was hope. In addition
to the chance that the plane had
made an emergency landing on one
of the countless atolls in the south
Pacific and had been unable to es-
tablish radio contact, there was the
possibility that all the men were
adrift on the life raft with which
the plane was equipped.

Dealer Sam Naliboff revealed Sat
urday morning.
Naliboff announced the departure
of two trucks and a trailer, carry
ing approximately 20 tons of No.
melting steel, to Kaiser'S new
steel plant at Fontana. The scrap
will arrive there Sunday morning
and be unloaded Immediately, Mali
boff said Thereafter, shipments will
be sent to Fontana every day.
The metal was the first to leave
Imperial Valley for the blast furn-
aces since the scrap drive was start
ed here. Before shipment, the scrap
had been sorted and graded, with
only the No. l grade going in this
first consignment.
In the meantime California High
way patrolmen under the direction
of Sgt. Cliff Reed are continuing
their search Of rural areas for
scrap of all kinds which may be of
help in the war effort. Since they
began this canvass of the rural areas
Oct. IL, Reed said, the patrolmen
have located more than 1000 tons
of scrap metal and listed its loca-
ton with salvage committees in the
various communities. They also have
reported their findings to the War
Production Board. Reed said his
officers were of the opinion that
millions of pounds of metal still
are available.
The hunt for metal was scheduled
to continue in Imperial county until
every bit of it is collected and turn
ed over to the war effort, Chairman
