Encouraging reports on the fam ing new battle of the Solomon Islands reflects sharply brighter trend in the global war for the Allies today, as Tokyo acknowledges for the first time that the Jap fleet has suffered damage in the sea bat tie with ''reinforcements of the United States Navy" off the Solo, mons.
 Fourteen hours after the Navy De- partment in Washington had an- nounced damaging blows on at least l3 Jap warships, the Japanese Com mand conceded that one destroyer was sunk and small aircraft car- rier damaged
 Claim U. s. Damage
 The Tokyo dispatch said that U. s. losses for the first three days of the battle which started on Sun day included damage of two United States aircraft carriers and battle ship of the 3l,00o-ton Pennsylvania type.
 
 The claims lacked confirmation elsewhere.
 The Navy, meanwhile. indicating Japans furious efforts to recapture the Guadalcanal and Tulagi bases have failed, said: "Cur forces are holding their positions in the face of strong enemy thrusts."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Chair- man Donald Nelson. of the War Production Board, is reported to have notified the armed services that he is withdrawing from their hundreds of procurement offices over the country the power to grant priority ratings.
 This is the first major result of Nelsons newly anunciated "get tough" policy of dealing with the materials shortages and is expected to be announced formally within the next 24 hours.
 This action will give the WIPE sole control over the issuance of priority ratings, plugging up the major loophole in the effort to bal- ance short supplies against the de- mands for materials by the Army, Navy and essential civilian use.

Russia's smashing counter of- fensive on the Moscow front has hurled the Germans back 25 or 30 miles, according to reports today from the Soviet Army, which inti- mate also that Hitlers furious drive against Stalingrad is at least tenn porarily checked.
 Red Army headquarters an- nounced: We are holding against the enemy onslaught and wearing down his manpower."
 A Vichy broadcast asserted, how ever, that the Germans have exc cuted a new break through the front northwest of Stalingrad and have advanced to within S1 miles of the Volga metropolis.
 Soviet dispatches said that this thrust was wiped out.
 Bitter Counter Attacks
 From German field headquarters came the admission that Marshal Timoshenko's armies have launched bitter counter attacks west of Stall ingrad and also acknowledged heavy Russian assaults on the Gen. tral front.
 Front line dispatches said that the Russians are attacking the German-held Rzhev Vyazma rail line 120 miles west of Moscow and that there is fierce battling in the streets of this key Nazi strong hold of Rzhev.
 In the far south, meanwhile, tank-led Nazi columns have knifed 30 miles closer to the rich Grozny oil fields.

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

WASHINGTON-There is a lot of backstage indignation over the manner in which members of one Wall Street accounting firm, Has, kins & Sells, dominate the cost accounting work of the Army and Navy.
 Cost accounting, under cost plus contracts, is extremely important. Furthermore, the Army and Navy are both engaged in scaling down some of these contracts through Pricc Adjustment Boards. The men who rule on these price ad- iustments can save the govern ment billions of dollars-or on the other hand, they can permit bil- lions in profits to industry.
 It so happens that executives from Haskins & Sells occupy key accounting posts. It also happens that Haskins & Sells is the ac- counting firm which handles the work of General Motors and iu Pont. two companies which have received very large government or ders.
 On the Navy's Price Adjustment Board is George P. Auld, mem Der of the Haskins & Sells firm. High in the Army's cost and sup ply service is Brig. Gen. Arthur H. Carter, partner of Haskins & Sells, and son-in-law, of Sells.
 Then in the cost accounting branch of the War Production Board is pr. Thomas H. Sanders, professor of accounting at the Har- yard Business School, who has been close to Haskins & Sells and has done some work for the Haskins & Sells Foundation.

for Mrs. Herbert to lose, it must be
noted that the new champ won her
regal chapeau in true championship
style. She outfoxed Willie.
Both contestants were as nervous
as a small boy passing a cemetery

f1ected in their games. Mrs. Herbert,

debut with two consecutive double
faults before patting a clean shot
over the net and the pair of 'em
fell into a duel of errors.

Gray who took command, piling up

A notoriously slow starter, Mrs.
Herbert continually found herself
trying to overtake her opponent, but
when she deuced the first set at
sail and then went on to close it
out with series of tr1p-hammer
blows 1t seemed that she had hit
her winning stride.
The loser found a slight weakness
in Mrs. Gray's backhand in the
closing stages Of the first cluster, but
