as potent weapon

currency war-waS on its way to
the scrap heap today, probably for
the wars duration.
The Senate, acting swiftly. APP

the treaSury's $2,000,000,000 sta
fund yesterday but at
the same time unanimously elm
mated the Presidents devaluation
The action was taken after
Democratic leaders gave assurance
that the devaluation issue would
not be raised again in this session
of Congress.
The bill now goes to the House.
TAFT FIGHT LEADER
Secretary of Treasury Morgen-
THAI earlier had asked the Senate
banking and currency committee
for extension of both weapons in
the international currency field.
He admitted, however, that the
power over the dollar was not now
"a life or death matter"
The fight against the devalua-
ton power, which President Roose-
welt has exercised only once since
1888, was led by Sen. Taft (R) OF
Ohio, who said it constituted a
club against the value of war
bonds which the treasury is urging
people TO buy.

WASHINGTON, July 3. = Jap cruisers and destroyers, endeavor- ing to turn on the big guns of American positions on Rendova Island, were driven off by United States naval units in sharp en- gagement early today
 This was reported by the Navy which said that the enemy task force of seven warships included three cruisers and four destroyers. They moved in. the Navy said. in an unsuccessful bombardment at- tempt.
 The size of the American force which met and repulsed the enemy ships was not disclosed.
 The Navy said the Jap ships "re- tired in short order" but full de- tails of the surface battle have not been received.
 It is possible that the American vessels, identified only as surface craft could have pursued the en- emy out of the immediate area of the battle and the fight is still go- ] ing on.
 1 The Navy also announced that several members of the crew. of the transport McCawley were killed in the initial attack by a torpedo plane on the ship which was later sunk by an enemy submarine.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. = Several weeks ago this column revealed that the Truman Committee had unearthed a startling situation at the Wright Aeronautical works at Cincinnati where airplane motors, with cracks in their cylinders, were passed by the company. Certain Government inspectors who protested that these cylinders were faulty were trans ferred, and one inspector was told never to set foot on Wright prop erty again.
 It was also revealed that the War Department had investigated the matter and that It. Gen. William Knudsen, former head of General Motors, reported that the defects were not serious and occurred from time to time in most motor manu- featuring.
 On the basis of this and other Army findings, the War Depart ment submitted a report to the Truman Committee. It was pre- pared under the supervision of hard hitting Col. Bill O'Dwyer, fam ous Brooklyn prosecutor and can didate for Mayor of New York. o. Dwyer has been made one Of the Army Corps chief investigators and has been doing an Al job.
 In this case, however, the Tru- man Committee did not compli- ment him. Calling Bill before them the Senators ross-examined him closely regarding the defective mo- tors manufactured by Wright. They inferred that the Army was trying to save face, and that the forth right New York prosecutor, in def erence to his superior officers, was not as fortnight as in civilian life.
 Senator Ferguson, Republican oi Michigan, was the most relentless of all. Himself a Detroit prosecu- tor, Ferguson grilled O'Dwyer as though he were on the witness stand, finally accused him of issu- ing a whitewash.
 Just come out in the alley and say that" bristled O'Dyer.
 "In take you to lunch and say it." replied Senator Ferguson with a smile, but I won't come out ir the alley"
 The meeting ended harmoniously But the Truman Committee insist

Is Biggest Offensive Action Yet Staged by Four
 Engined Graft

CAIRO, July 3.--Nearly 100 Unit ed States Liberators smashed three airfields in Southern Italy yester- day, the biggest offensive action yet staged by these 4-engined craft from the Middle East.
 More than 400 l,000-pound bombs were dropped on the Italian bases at Legge. Grottaglie and San Pan- crazio.
 All three raids were apparently aimed at reducing the aerial de- fense of the Italian naval base at Taranto at the inside jutting Italian heel on the Gulf of Tar anto
 Grottaglie is 10 miles northeast of Taranto and San Pancrazio is 28 miles east of Legge which is 42 miles east of Ie.ti5i.
 The loads of the Liberators in- cluded high explosive, fragmenta- tion and incendiary bombs.
 The United States Headquarters Communique said three American planes were lost This is relatively a small figure, equalling the entire American plane losses in the month of June in this area.
 Twelve Axis planes were downed out of the clouds during the raids.
 Italian and German fighters rose to challenge the Liberators.
