 Success, now or in future opera. tion, in throwing the Japanese out of the Solomons or even in putting a strong Allied force into them, would be serious threat to the entire enemy position in New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands northwest of the Solomons, and would relieve Australia of growing enemy pressure.
 There was no hint here of the forces which Nimitz had thrown into the fight.
 It was known, however, that United States Marines had been training extensively at San Diego and in Hawaii for an offensive against the Japanese. The arrival of party of them in the south Pacific was recently announced.
 Further, the United States Navy was growing into the most powerful fighting force the world had ever known, and the Japanese fleet, batted in the Coral Sea and around Midway had seen Its day.
 It was understand here that the mere fact that Nimitz was able te attack on the scale indicated meant that the Pacific forces hae been strengthened already.
 The Solomons battle had started In the area of Tulagi, small island off the southwest coast of Florids Island.

 The Allied plane offensive, in its fourth day, was the greatest of the war.
 On Saturday the Allies made three heavy attacks on the Salamaua zone alone, in addition to attacking Buka Island at the northern end of the Solomons.
 Friday when Allied attacks on the Solomons opened, the Allied planes had made their heaviest attack of the war on Rabaul.
 Tn these attacks the Allied planes were using new 2.00o pounds bombs for the first time, evidently having saved them for this crucial bat tie.

usurped Victor Emmanuel's pow CT, Tojo wants to become "the peo- ple's choice"-even over Hirohito. He is the first premier in recent dec ades who has made such open at tempts to win over the people.
 His picture appears almost daily in the newspapers, showing him kissing babies, talking with young students and even assisting old Wo- men acros the street.
 Man of the Hour"
 All of Tojo's recent speeches em- phasized that while he Is the man of the hour" to lead Japan the nation must strive for its own saliva tion by support of the armed forces.
 To counteract the resentment of many of the people against the army leaders who have led them into a long and costly war, Tojo has re sorted to the unprecedented practice of appearing in public in civilian garb. Sometimes he wears tweeds for an early morning horseback ride in the public parks.
 saw Tojo at the opening of the Diet, in the emperorS' presence, laet in November only few days before the attack on Pearl Harbor and was struck by the cocksure. almost de- liant manner, in which he treated the emperor.
 At that time Tojo made his speech calling the United States a hostile nation, delivering 1t in SWaggering jingoistic manner and making the emperor appear to be only a minor actor.
 In approaching Hirohito with the imperial rescript Tojo's arrogant manner was in amazing contrast with the lowing of other high of- officials. He made the emperor ap- pear to be weakling.
 At that time the emperor seemed to be showing the effects of his isolated, sedentary life and diplo- mats who had seen him said he had become exceedingly shy.
 Instead of requesting" in tradi- tional manner the Diets passage of government bills Tojo Instructed" the members to approve them im- mediately.

 Many towns and cities were af. fected by the Congress call for { campaign of non-violence to force Britain to grant independence tt India and by protests against thu arrests of Gandhi and many othel Congress leaders.
 In Calcutta, Congress off cials SaiC that two local committeeman, Ram. l hath Singh and Deoki Nandan Sha had been taken to jail this morn ing for leading small procession through the streets.
 Congress leaders not yet arrested were going into hiding in various localities, promising that they would carry on underground activities.
 Although Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and other prominent leaders did not seek to avoid arrest, the lo- cal leaders said it was necessary to go into hiding to avoid leaving the movement leader-less at this time especially since Gandhi was unable to send them instructions. Many volunteer leaders took the places of veterans who were arrested in Bombay and Delhi.
 At least one person had been killed at AInhadabad, 275 miles north of Bombay, and one person was killed at Allahabad, headquar- ters of the Nationalist All-India Congress whose resolution demand ing immediate independence as the alternative to mass civil disobedi- ence had precipitated situation that threatened the defense of In- dia against the Japanese established in adjoining Burma.
 Trade was practically at a standstill in all Bombay markets to- day, despite a firm government or der for business as usual.
 Work was interrupted at some mills and factories because workers struck in support of Mohanadas K Gandhi's freedom-or-death exhorta- tions.
 Two policemen had died of wounds as the result of rioting here yester- day and the civilian death toll had risen to 10.
 Forty-three policemen were ir hospitals and at least 20. civilians had been wounded. Fatal riots, mass arrests and blanket curfews spread throughout the country, as Hindu Nationalist mobs surged through the teemine streets of cities clashing with police
 Police and troops were alert throughout the country for the first sign of an attempt to sabotage 1n- dia's war effort after receipt by the government of reports that Hindu Nationalists might start campaign to cripple the country's war effort.
 India's 80,00O,000 Mohar1medans remained aloof under orders by their leaders.
 It was believed that at any hour, wizened, n-clothed Gandhi, de- tained in preventive custody at the Poona palace of the Aga Khan, leader of India's 8O,O00,0O0 Moham- medans, along with Jawaharlar Nehru and other outstanding lead- CTS of the Congress, might start a fast "unto death"
 There was every belief that if the fast were started 1t could actually end in Gandhi's death in view of his advanced age.
