British Navy Guns
Batter Rhodes in
Surprise Attack

LONDON, Aug. 15-UP) = An
exchange telegraph correspondent
aboard a British warship in the
Mediterranean reported today that
an eastern Mediterranean naval
squadron has carried out bonn
bardment of the island of Rhodes
in the Dodecanese.
The correspondent said the attack
was made early Thursday.
The squadron, commanded by Ad-
miral Philip Wan, plastered Rhodes
for IL minutes with the accuracy
and perfect timing of a postman
delivering the morning mail"
Fleet aircraft, according to the
correspondent account, not only
spotted for the naval squadron and
dropped flares to illuminate the
targets, but carried out their own
attack, bombing Martha airdrome
on Rhodes.
All British ships and planes re-
| turned to their bases without a
scratch" despite shore batteries and
the presence of enemy Eboats, ex-
change telegraph said.
The British squadron, the CORES
spondent said, was not detected by
the enemy until it opened fire.

Time Grows Short

LONDON, Aug. Is CUP) - Lieut.
Gen. Dwight w. Eisenhower, Amer
ican commander in the European
theater, said today the time is
short" for training American forces
to stand the most rigorous opera
tions."
Eisenhower said American troops
under his command must get the
most intensive training in all
phases.
This is true" he said with en-
phasis, because the time is short
because the problems we have de-
mand the ultimate in trained per-
sonnel-because our men must be
toughened and hardened physically
to stand the most rigorous opera
tions."
Eisenhower praised cooperation
between the British and American
forces and denied that conflict be-
tween the Royal Air Force and
American air units had arisen to
impede the promised bombing Of
fensive against Europe.

Aug. Is. CUP)-The United States
Marines attacked the Solomons with
the best invasion weapons and
equipment ever made after weeks
of secret training in this area, it
was made known today
Naturally it is impossible to dis
close specifically the new weapons
with which the Marines are smash
ing the japanese. 1t is possible to
say that the Japanese must have
gotten some rude shocks when the
Marines landed.
Ingeniously devised assault craft
replaced old style boats in which
the Marines of other days helped
make American history.
Amphibian tractors, tanks, arm
ored barges, almost unsinkable rub
ber boats were among the things
the Marines used.
MYSTERY WEAPONS
What must be called heavier
stuff followed.
1t was regarded as certain here
tina" the Marines had made effec-
tive use of their heavy stuff be-
cause of the indications that they
had succeeded quickly in tanning
out from their landing points and
consolidating their positions.
The Marines practiced exhaust
lively for the Solomons landing ON
the beaches of several south Pacific
ports.

What members of the Women's

choice, Lieut.. Comdr. Mildred H
McAfee, commander of the Waves,

NO. ONE WARRIORS
I visited the Marines at a GER
tain port within the area of Vice
Adm. Robert Lee Ghormley, south
Pacific fleet commander who is
directing the Solomons battle.
The health and morale of these
youths and men in the attack force
were almost beyond words. They
were fighting fit and above all were
well versed in the most effective
use of the most modern implements
of war.
Because the size of the Marine
Corps had quadrupled in the last
three years large proportion of
officers and men were young.
But they were young only in
years. talked with many of them.
They were all keenly alert to the
dangers they were going to face
and were eager to go. They had
skill as we'll as CUTS.
The JapaneSe on the defense had
every advantage in the swampy
Solomons country, with formidable
hills behind them. That ON the 9th
day of the Solomons battle the Mar
ines were still going strong was be-
lieved certain to mean here that
they had won a victory.

quences for Alexander Kordss
Technicolor perturbation of Rud-
yard kipling's Jungle Book" the
current attraction at the Blue
Mouse 4heater.
Instead of keeping the camera
stationary so that the animals were
photographed from one position.
Detoth permitted the camera TO
truck along with the animals for
long distances and to photograph
fights. jumps, etc. from many diff
ferent angles. Since the shots were
made in a jungle setting Of great
length. Detoth devised a series Of
shots at the sides of the arenas
which could be manipulated to
open just enough for the camera
to roll along on long dolly tracks.
