Marines Extend So|omons Hold,
Damage 2 japanese Cruisers;
Navy Air Chief Sees New Gains
Foe Suffers Heavy
Losses in 2 Days
Of U. S. Offensive
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Navy announced today
that United States Marines had
succeeded in enlarging their po-
sitions on Guadalcanal Island in
the Solomon Islands during two
days of offensive fighting in
which the Japanese had many
casualties" ..
Announcement also was made of
destruction of IS Japanese planes,
damage to two enemy light cruisers
and loss of two United States planes
in operations on October 9 and IL.
1t was the first offensive action
reported for the Marines in the
Solomons since the early days Of
their invasion which began Au-
gust 7.
40 japanese Ships Smashed.
Announcement of the damaging OF
two enemy cruisers raised to 40 the
number of japanese ships which
have been reported sunk or dam
aged during the Solomons campaign
and the destruction of IS Japanese
planes raised to 260 the number of
enemy aircraft wrecked in the Sol
onions.
Unofficial records based on Navy
announcements show the United
States has lost nine ships in the
Solomons to date, the heaviest loss
having occurred on the night of
August 8-9 but announced by the
Navy only yesterday. This was the
loss of the heavy cruisers Vincennes,
Astoria and Quincy.
The offensive operations of the
Marines were carried out in the face
of considerable enemy resistance it
was clear, since the communique
noted that the Japanese had suf-
fered heavy casualties and also be-
cause it has been reported on sew
eral recent occasions that the enemy
was reinforcing his units in the
6olomons jungles.
These reinforcements apparently
have moved into the very area
against which the Marine offensive
was directed.

Board Speeds Study
Of Manpower After
Talk by President
Commission Must Find
Way to Enforce Any
Policy 1t Adopts
BY JESSE o. IRWIN.

Encouraged by President
Roosevelt's promise in last
nights fireside chat to obtain
legislative power, if necessary. to
aid it's labor rationing efforts, the
War Manpower Commission to-
day was reported to be attempt
ing to reach a decision on the
labor force required to equip and
supply the armed forces and to
fulfill the Nations commitments
to its Allies in supplies and COM
modities.
Until this decision is reached, it
was pointed out in management
and labor circles. the commission
would not be able to perfect an
overall policy. Even after the pol
icy is approved, they say, the ways
and means to carry it out would
have to be found.
The commission, described as an
agency with an impressive title and
little authority, is primarily policy
forming organization. Lacking
funds and legislative authority it
has had to resort to a mixture of
patriotic persuasion and mild CO.
ercion to get compliance with its
anticipating and other directives.
Maximum Needs Studied.
Conferences are reported under
way with the military forces, the
War Production Board, the selec-
tive service system and the Mari
time Commission with a view to-
ward determining an estimate of the
maximum strength and supply
needs of the Army and Navy and
the rate of expansion toward this
peak. The lease-lend materiel, and
commodity requirements of the
other United Nations would also
have to be included.
This information, now in the pos
session of various military, produc-
tion and labor agencies, is reported
to be the core of effective mobiliza-
ton and rationing OF labor. It is
said the conferences will be on q
continuing basis. since productive

were arrested by FBI agents, the
announcement said.
Two other civilian inspectors were
being sought by the FBI on similar
charges of bribery.
Subsidiaries Also Seized.
The White House said the Navy
took possession and control of the
Triumph plant at Elkton and of two
of it's subsidiaries, the Milford
| Ordnance Co. and the Sussex
Ordnance Co. at Milford, Del.
| This action was ordered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in order that the
plants may be effectively and safely
operated.
The White House explained that
continuance of the present manage
ment under conditions disclosed by
Navy investigation was regarded as
"endangering production on a full
time basis"
The announcement gave little
detail about the grounds for the
bribery charges. explaining only that
the civilian inspectors arrested are
charged with accepting bribes in the
guise of service fees
A preliminary investigation by the
Navy indicates that more than ST.
100000 in management irregular

Four Agencies Investigate.
The arrests resulted from an audit
by the re-negotiation section of the
