 Washington, Aug. 19.-CUP)- Vice President Henry A. Wallace today exonerated "95 or even 99 per cent" of American corporations from his recent remuneration of big business but warned that "the common folks" must see through the propaganda of groups demand ing a return to "old fashioned Americanism."
 By old-fashioned Americanism they really mean corporation-con- trolled government" ne said in an interview. By free enterprise they really mean free enterprise for bis business, but not for little business.
 Its vital for the people who buy from the corporations, who sell to them, who work for them-the common folks to see through the propaganda of certain of the big corporations.

By GEORGE JONES

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Headquarters, South Pacific Forces Aug. 19-(UP)-In moonlight bat tie early Tuesday an American naval task force intercepted and destroyed the major part of a Japanese troop convoy seeking to land reinforce ments on neWly-occupied Vella La vella Island, headquarters spokes- man said today.
 The naval engagement, began at 1 a. m. and lasted a half hour It was fought in bright moonlight be- tween Japanese-h Kolombangara Island and Vella Lavella which was seized Sunday by American invasion troops.
 The American task force inter- cepted fleet of barges laden with troops and supplies and escorted by a destroyer fiotilla. American recon naissance planes had sighted 1t late the afternoon before.
 The convoy was escorted by 20 to 30 bombers, the spokesman said. It was impossible to determine the exact number of troops landed on Vella Lavella, since the capacity of the barges varies considerably.
 The American warship, engaging the enemy at the north end of the gulf, seriously damaged two Japa- nese deStroyers, one of which might have sunk, and inflicted lesser dam- age upon third.

 A headline in the Daily Express exclaimed, We are ready to go any minute! and quoted a German broadcast that the Allies might open a double second front" momentar- fly
 Richard D. McMillan, United Press war correspondent, who has just re- turned to Algiers from the Sicilian battlefronts, wrote that Allied Forces under General Dwight D. Eisenhower were preparing for their biggest offensive yet - right inside the Fortress or Europe"

 He did not speculate where the massive blow would fall, but pointed out that Allied planes already have begun heavy attacks on communica- tions on the Italian mainland, rough ly following the same pattern that broke Axis resistance in Sicily.
 Unofficial observers here saw sig nificance in the coincidene of Allied broadcasts telling French patriots to hasten their preparations to aid Allied landings and the recent in- tensification of Anglo American air raids on Axis airdelds in northern and southern France.

Rio Gronde Valley Is Creating
Postwar Haven for Hunters

here along the lazy Rio Grande the
tree duck is getting fresh start.
And the bird conservation pro-
gram includes what probably is the
largest acreage set aside in the
United States for preservation of the
white-winger dove. The Legislature
created restricted area Of more
than 100000 acres as a sanctuary.
State Game Warden Charles G.
Jones Of Weslaco estimates the
sanctuary has resulted in an in
crease of 5000 whitewings during
the last year.
The newest bird sanctuary Is the
2,200-acre Santa Ana ranch which
the United States Fish and Wildlife
Survey bought for $4,000. One Of
the largest concentrations of cha
chalacas, once a famous bird in
South Texas, now occupies the
ranch. There also are rare red
billed pigeons, hooded orioles, rare
white-fronted doves and derby fly
catchers.
ind the 5000 acre Delta Orchards
Lake already is classed by fishing
experts as one of the finest black
bass grounds in Texas.
There's one spot not for hunters,
though-Green Island, in the Gulf,
reserved exclusively for plumage
birds. At the seasons height it
accommodates $1,000.

Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland Negro
challenger for the world heavy
weight boxing championship, was
to go through his first public work
out in Washington this afternoon
in preparation for his 10-round
bout next Tuesday night at Grit
fifth Stadium against Herbert Mar
shall.
His drill was set for 3 o'clock at
the Liberty A. C's new gym at 419
Ninth street NV. and is open to
the public. Marshall was to work
out at o'clock.
Best Outside of Service.
Numerous boxing authorities, in
cluding the National Boxing Asso-
citation, have Bivins ranked as the
country's outstanding heavyweight
outside the armed forces. In his
recent bouts he trimmed Tami
Mauriello and Lee Savold, this fol-
lowing an upset over Bob Pastor at
time when Pastor was being
primed for match against Louis.
Bivins, however, has put the quietus
on several moves to have him de-
clared duration champion"
ANY title I get I want to win
from the champion" he said. 10Th

garding his chances against Joe
Louis should they ever meet, Jimmy
admits he expects he would have q
plenty tough time. II think I car
beat Billy Conn and Melio Bettina,
he remarked, "but Louis has whole
lot OF good fighting left in him. ]
look for him to be a real champion
still after the war"
Bivins weighs around ITS pounds
and may 60 to 180 for next Tues
day nights fight. He is fast punch
er with both hands and a combina
tion slugger-boxer. His sparring
partner is Teddy Wint, good Negro
heavyweight who drilled against
Big Boy Brown here last week.
Adds Promising Bout.
Another promising supporting
fight has been added to Tuesdays
card by Goldie Ahearn, Liberty A. C.
promoter. It's a return match be-
tween Jimmy jeanette, local boy,
and Larry Torpey, Philadelphia
bantamweight. They almost stole
the show on the recent Bob Mont
gomery-Frankie Willis card, with
Torpey taking close decision after
fast bout. Previously announced
as the semifeature match is the
8-rounder between Harry Jeffra and
