(By Associated Press)

Japanese dispatches have ack- nowledged for the first time in the current propaganda splurge that the United States Marines have landed "on one of the Solomon Islands" 900 miles northeast of Australia. and that Japanese troops are engaged in fierce fighting to ward off the American seaborne invasion.
 Meanwhile, in Washington. the Navy Department announced that the fighting Marines are prog ressing satisfactorily" in consoli- dating beachheads on three islands.
 There are indications. too that Allied fliers have won the vital battle of superiority in the South west Pacific skies.
 Late English dispatches from Sydney report that the Americans have or soon will have complete control over the Tulagi Isands," part of the Solomon group.

Rep. Magnuson Makes Alaska Trip; Reports
 Conditions Are Fine


 SEATTLE, Aug. 15.--Rep. War ren G. Magnuson returned to Se- attle late yesterday from a five day Alaska visit with feeling that the war situation in Alaska is serious, but not alarming"
 The Representative from Wash ington previously had been told that he would not be able to make the contemplated inspection trip after the Navy had considered the request, and the fact that Magnu- son did make the tour was not known until his return.
 We don't need to worry about a unified command" the congress- man said "Alaska's got it. I found Navy and Army commanders even rooming together, eating together and in conferences constantly.
 Should Name Commander
 But I do wish that the Navy Department in Washington, D. C., would announce who the command CT in Alaska is. To name this man would be a wonderful stimulant and a morale builder" he claimed.
 Magnuson said that when he reached Alaska, Navy task force was engaged in smelling Kiska. but added, we don't know exactly what damage was done.
 |. Before the attack, the PBY's fly over and count the installations that are firing at them. After the attack, they fly over again to see if fewer installations are firing at them. They're just human tar- gets," he said.
 The congressman said that he noted at every gathering of the Army and Navy on an action day. the question mainly discussed was What did we do with aviation?' Aviation he said was foremost in these discussions.
 Weed Out DeadwO0d
 He said that the military dead wood" in Alaska is being weeded out and things are moving fast Desk sitters and men who stand still are being passed by. What a difference than when I was there a year ago.
 The Navy is using some of that ingeniousness which we must ad- init the Japs are showing" he stated. The other day they slap ped an ensign's uniform on an old fishing boat character at Kodiak. Now he's telling them how to nayi- gate in the fog banks of the Aleu- tians."

Censorship Is Weapon For Attacking Enemy,
 Censor Chief Reports

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 15.-Byron Price, Director of the Office c1 Censorship, described censorship as "a necessary evil in wartime" but declared in speech here, that it is a vital weapon with which we can attack and hamper the enemy, but one which must be used in the American way and for mill tary reasons alone.
 Tn a democracy" he said, the public is entitled to know about the tough realities of this war and must not be subjected to such a blackout of news as that which now pervades the totalitarian countries. .
 Prices address was given before the Indiana Bar Association.
 "The binding link between the operations of censorship and the operations of our armed forces, 7 he continued, should never be forgotten, nor should any censor be permitted to forget that he IS dealing simply and solely with the processes of war censorship and is neither a guardian of private morals or a snooper into the vio- lation of peacetime laws.
 Every member of our staff keeps constantly before him this basic principle. What doesn't concern the war doesn't concern censor ship he concluded.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. allen on active duty)


 WASHINGTON--It will probably be denied, but last February the Soviet Government offered the United States all its patents, in- formation and technical experience in making synthetic rubber = and now, six months later, still has re- ceived no reply.
 The offer was made by Russian officials at a meeting with VIII Clayton, assistant secretary ot commerce and Jesse Jones right hand man; and with George H Hill, Jr., vice president of Jesse's Defense Supplies Corporation.
 This was shortly before the fall of the Dutch East Indies, but when it's fall appeared imminent.
 Russia, realizing the danger to our rubber sources, and being then the biggest synthetic rubber pro- d,lcer in the world, offered it's in- formation to the United States The Soviet uses an alcohol process for synthetic rubber, which it de- yeloped, and published in its trace journal, even before Germany.
 However the Rubber Reserve de- cided to use a petroleum base for rubber instead of alcohol. It clung to that thesis until recently when Congress raised such a terrific furor over discrimination against mid- west grain and contended that Jesse Jones was favOring the big oil companies of Texas.
 Note: The Russians asked mo- thing in return for their synthetic rubber information. but, even so, got no reply.
