Desperate Efforts Being Made to Isolate Ameri-
 cans on GuadaIcanal
.I1r gANnOR s. KLETN

Wa6hin9tou. oct. -tUP) --Re- ports from the Solomon Islands inc dicated today that the Japanese are trying desperately to disrupt the sea Communications to American Oc- cupation Forces on Guadalcanal.
 Japanese warships apparently are DrowIing the waters around the southwestern 6olomons in an effort to intercept American supply vessels and transports.
 The Navy disclosed last night that the enemy succeeded In sinking the auxiliary transport Gregory by gum Ire recently of Guadalcanal. While there was no elaboration, it was as- sumed that the Gregory--a former destroyer which saw service in the last war-~was the victim of a Jap- auese warship.
 Previously Japanese destroyers And cruisers have been reported in the vicinity of American positions an the islands. On a number of Oc- casions, they have sneaked in close 1t night and bombarded American shore points, usually with incorse- quential results.
 "A the earlier stages of the Solo, mons battle, the Japanese sought to retake the islands by large scale frontal assaults. But these were smashed by the American Air Force. Now, experts believe, the enemy IS trying to weaken the American hold on the islands by other methods be- fore undertaking another full-dress offensive.
 The experts consider the Japan ese attempt to interfere with Amer acan communications as another step in the seemingly changed enemy strategy. Other steps being employed are frequent aerial bom- bardnent. which already has proved inordinately costly to the enemy, and infiltration of troops on islands where Americans have gained loot holds. Those troops already have made one abortive attempt to cap ture the American -held airfeld on Guadalcanal Island. And the Jap- anese still have some bothersome &rOop concentrations roaming the iungles of Guadalcanal.
 Tn the same communique the Navy disclosed the destruction ot the S.378-ton naval transport George F. Elliott, the former passenger liner, City of Los Angeles. She was lost on Aug. 8. the second day oi the offensive In the SolomoI1s, as the result of fires started when Japanese plane crashed into the ship. The plane was one of 40 ol more enemy torpedo planes attack ing American ships in harbor IT the Ouadalcanal-Tulagi area.
 The Navy said most of the per sonnei of both the Gregory and FL iiott were saved. The Elliott al ready had been unloaded when the attack came.
 It. Condr. Harry Frederick Bauel uf Chattanooga, Ten. skipper of tht Gregory. was lost with his ship but Capt. watson Osgood Bailey, o' Yvnn. Mass, commander of the Ell Nott, was saved.
 Those losses brought to seven thu number of American ships sunk II the eolomons campaign. Previously the destroyers Blue and Jarvis, tn' converted transports Colhoun ant Little, and an unnamed cruiser were sunk. Five other ships Wer' reported damaged.

Congressional Leaders Call for Cessation Following
 Testimony By Naval Flyer at Press Conference

said he Tread with astonishment" the statement of Lieut.. Comdr. John Smith Thatch, that carrier r-baSed planes had won every major vic- tory in the Pacific and that hori- zontal bombing was of little use against warshipS.
 (Army flying fortresses have been credited by the War Department with major successes in high level bombing against Japanese forces in the Pacific.)
 Chairman J. Buell. Snyder, D., Pa, of the House War Department ap- propriations committee, said he he planned to discuss the situation with Army chief of staff, General George c. Marshall and Lieut.. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forces in the course of pre-. viously arranged conference.
 Assuming that everything the Navy flyer said is true," Mccormack said, "tte question that comes to my mind is what purpose the navy intended to serve in the interview.
 "The full energies of the nations fighting forces must be directed and coordinated-toward defeat of Germany and Japan in this gravest military crisis that the nation ever faced"
 Rep. Harry R. Sheppard, D., Cal, who is in line to become chairman of the naval appropriations Sub- committee, said, "there can be no dispute between any branch of this government that will impede the war effort this is particularly true of the Army and Navy"
 Rep. Warren Magnuson, D., Wash, a member of the House naval affairs committee who recently returned from an inspection of the Aleutian Islands, said he believed the time had come for congress to give seri- ous consideration to proposals to re- organize the Army and Navy into a single war machine, completely stripped of service prerogativeS that might lead to petty disputes.
 Magnuson and Rep. Lyndon John- son, D., Tex, both naval reserve officers, 1t was learned, will file a report to the naval affairs commit tee soon, charging serious lack of coordination between the Army and Navy commands in the Aleutian area even during combat operations on the Japanese positions at Kiska and Attu.
 The incidents cited in the report, it was learned, occurred after it was announced here that Army and Navy operations in the Aleutian area had been coordinated under naval officer.
 Rep. Overton Brooks, D.. La, a member of special House military affairs subcommittee Investigating the air phases of the var effort, said his group may investigate the 'in- creasing duplication of effort and command" between he Army and Navy air arms.

STALIN HEADS
 CITY DEFENSE
Personally PhOned Stalin- grad to- Urge Death Be-
 fore Surrender

Moscow, Oct. 1.-(UP)-Josef Sta lin, it was revealed today, personally directed by telephone the organiza- tion of Stalingrad's defenses and ordered that all panic mongers and towards" be eliminated before the German assault began.
 This was revealed by Alexander Chuyanov, secretary of the Stalin- grad Communist Party, in special dispatch to the government news paper, IzveStia.
 Chuyanov said that Stalin tele- phoned him as the German attack was opening and offered series of suggestions which the party organ ization carried out in perfecting the defense of the steel city-the same city whose defense was personally led by Stalin in the 1918 civil war.
 Chuyanov reported that under the party's leadership thousands of men and women turned from their tasks of producing arms and war mate rials for the Red army to the job of carrying on direct combat against the Germans.
 He said the civilian defenders were battling the NaI invaders from street barricades, housetops, cellars and every point of vantage.
 He said thousands of men and women civilians were hurling 8 steady hial of hand grenades and combustible liquids against the Ger man troops from rooftops, windows, and balconies. Other civilians were said to be taking heavy toll of the enemy by sniping at the invaders from cellars.
 As an example of the women's spirit, Chuyanov cited the case of Anna Ivanova who was captured by the enemy. The Germans threat ened to shoot her unless she revealed the locatino of her companions. Anna led her captors to her com- rades, who fired into the Germans and wounded several of them.
 The Germans shot Anna, Chuy- anov said, but as she lay dying she jeered:
 At least led them to the right
 The daily l,ooO-plane Nazl raid soon left much of the city sham bles, Chuyanov said. Workers settle ments, hospitals, schools, libraries ani other public buildings were re- duced to ruins.
 Thousands of women and children were among those killed the first few days, he said.
 At this time the Communist Party appealed to the people of Stalingrad "to rise like one and defend our be- loved city and home"
 aCover all the streets with impen- etrable barricadeS and convert every house into an invulnerable fortress" !" the party ordered.

DAN Mckinney CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR; is FIRST TO
ANNOUNCE In 1912 CAMP AIGN
"I Do Not Subscribe To Un-American Idea That
Politics Should Be Adjourned During Wal" Says
Man Who Managed Osborn 1910 Campaign

E. Osborn's successful campaign for
Governor in 1910, announces his
candidacy in the following letter re-
ceived Wednesday by the Nogales
international:
Tucson, Arizona
February 16, 1912
Dear Mr.. Editor:
after mature deliberation, I have
decided to become a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor.
IT am aware of the effort being
made, mainly by those now in office,
to create feeling that Politics
should be adjourned during the
War. do not subscribe to such an
un-American idea. Our experience
during and following the last World
War clearly demonstrates that in
sofar as our State and local govern
ments particularly are concerned, it
is now not only important, but i'm
perative that we take an active in
terest in political affairs.
lit appears doubtful that I among
many others shall again see armed
service, but I think it is generally
agreed that at this time there is an
equally patriotic service to be per-
formed here at home. Those who
are absent in defense of this coun-'
try have every right to demand that
we who remain shall preserve for
them the American principles, ideals
and way of life for which they are
offering their lives and that we
practice at home the economies so
necessary to make their sacrifices
effective.
This statement is not being made
as a formal announcement. That
will come later, at which time I
shall set forth specifically my reas-
ons for being candidate and some
of the things I hope to see accom-
plished by the next administration.
''This information is being given
you for whatever news value it may
have and to ask respectfully your
consideration of my candidacy.
Yours very truly,
DAN G.. MCKINNEY. y
