u. s. LOSSES IN
 FIGHT RAISED
One More Destroyer Sunk in SOlOmOns; Score
 Against Japs LOpsided
By sAND0R s. KLEIN Limited presR gengg e,arrawmnv..am.

united Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Nov g S-- (UP) -A American losses in the great maya battle of the Solomons a week agt have been raised to nine ships hy addition of another destroyer, but the final score still is lop-sided against the Japanese who lost % ships.
 The American destroyer sunk was added to the list last night by the Navy department in Q com munique which gave no other in- formation about fighting in the Solomons, oficials here are eagerly awaiting word of land action on Guadalcanal, There have been in. dications in recent reports that the American offensive to clean outv the Japanese is being stepped up.
 The name of the destroyer lost was not announced. The com munique said it was badly damaged in fighting on the night of Novem. ber l4-l5 by a torpedo. It sank the following evening while enroute to an American base.
 The officers and crew were res. cued by another destroyer and nc loss of life had been reported.
 Thus the cost of the great naval victory over the Japanese now stands at two light cruisers and seven destroyers-very small still when compared with the huge toll taken Of the enemy. Japanese losses were two battleships Gone perhaps heavy cruiser). six large cruisers, two light cruisers, six de- Srtroyers, and l2 transports. Tn ad- dition damage was inflicted on two battleships, cruiser and seven de- stroyers.
 The last word received of land fighting covered last Saturday tSolomons time). Then American aircraft carried out II attack mis. sions against enemy installations Increased air activity indicated that 1t might be a prleude to . large scale offensive.
 Earlier in the week American troops advanced their positions or the west side of the air field, west of Point Cruz. That was followed the next day by advancing outposts. an action which resulted in the killing of 35 Japanese.
 There has been no mention for days of any activity east of the airfeld. Presumably effective Jap anese resistance in that sector was smashed earlier this month when Americans killed half of a force oi l,5o0 enemy troops that had landed there and dispersed the rest into the jungles.
 Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox told his last press conference that recent events on Guadalcanal have made the American hold very secure"

as long as sincere efforts are being made to effect 100 per cent com pliance as rapidly as possible.
 The city government and the Connecticut Light & Power Co., lave the problem of adjusting 2,600 jtreet lights to meet, It will mean hading many lights, reducing wat- tage in hundreds, and perhaps shut ting off some.
 Every householder in the city is affected by the regulations, as is every motorist. Window shades in every window in every home must be drawn down at least three quarters Of the way after sunset each night. On windows facing south, shades must be drawn down all the way. Car owners must have the upper half of their headlights shielded.
 Gas stations and parking lost may have only one 40-watt bulb every 20 feet. Store display lights are limited to one l5-watt bulb for every eight feet of frontage.
 Restaurants and taverns must shade their windows completely except for foot-wide horizontal strip between four and six feet above the sidewalk. This strip is allowed to make 1t possible to com ply with state liquor regulations which require that bars be visible from the street.
 The rules mean the end of out. door neon and electric signs for tht duration.
 William T. Jebb, district manager for the Connecticut Light & Power Co., said that the company will "do everything possible to comply with the regulations He pointed out however, that the task of changing over street lights and replacing circuits for private customers is a difficult one.
