Council Licked i'm
Trash Coll ceion

here for a trial in collecting trash,
has not proven satisfactory and will
be returned to the Gar Wood COM
pany, makers of the body, Walter
Heinecke, city public works direc-
tor, said Saturday.
The body was placed on a city
owned truck and put into operation
in collecting trash from alleyWays.
1t was used on trial basis for sew
eral weeks, Heinecke said.
CHIEF FAULT
Chief fault was in the fact that
city employees who operated the
equipment were unfamiliar with
that type of body and were not
trained to keep its parts in proper
adjustment, Heinecke stated.
In order to have sufficient equip
ment IN operation to adequately
collect the city,S trash, a new large
hoiSt-type body will be constructed
and mounted on city-owned truck,
Heinecke said. The new equipment
will be used with another similar
truck in collecting trash.
The city council first sought to
purchase new packer body, but
weeks of verbal and written COM
munication with the OPA, the WPB
and other agencies could not bring
forth the required priority to buy it.
The councilmen had to be satisfied
with a secondhand body - but
they're not.

Warships Attack

WASHINGTON, July 3.
(UP)-American naval fore
es in the central Solomons
engaged a Japanese task
force of seven warships at
tempting to lombard U. S. positions
on Rendova and drove the enemy
ships off in short order" the navy
announced today.
The engagement, fought in the
darkness of night, was the first ac :
tion reported between opposing nav
al surface forces since the Allies
began their twin drive on the CEN
tral Solomons and Japanese-held
areas of New Guinea.
Three light cruisers and four
destroyers were in the enemy force.
They apparently were trying to
prevent consolidation of American
positions on Rendova for the anti
cipated assault on the Munda air.
field, five miles across the channel.
RETIRE IN HASTE
The navy said that as the Japa-
nese ships began the shelling of
American positions on newly-Won
Rendova our surface forces moved
in with guns blazing. The Japanese
force retired in haste No further
details were received by the navy.
The surface action followed an
earlier attack by Zero-escorted
Japanese bombers on the American
positions on Rendova. They caused
only negligible damage.
The brief encounter between the
surface ships occurred early this
morning Saturday night in the
Solomons).
The navy reported that later in
formation now reveals that several
members of the crew of the trans
port McCawley were killed in an
aerial torpedo attack which preced-
ed the sinking of the ship by a
Japanese submarine after landing
troops on Rendova.
All these actions, indicating the
desperate efforts the japanese are
making to thWart the American
seizure of the main enemy bases in
the central Solomons, conceded with
reports that the Japanese were
rushing air reinforcements into the
Allied invasion areas.
New, large-scale sky battles prob
aoIy are imminent and a direct as
sault on Munda, the enemys i'm
poftant base on New Georgia is

soon.

Labor Shortage to

WASHINGTON, July 3. (UP)-
The War Manpower Commission

less the War and Navy Depart

Ickes Doomed as
Gas Rationer by
Senate Committee
Group Recommends That
Pleasure Driving Ban Be
Extended to Midwest

WASHINGTON, July 3.
(UP)-Authority over gaso-
line and fuel oil rationing
should be transferred to Pet
.oleum Administrator Har-
old L. Ickes to centralize general
ship in the battle against shortages
which are a chronic wartime con-
dition," special committee said
today.
The committee also recommended
that the non-essential driving ban
be extended to the midwest and that
new oil discoveries be stimulated by
offering wildcatters' premiums such
as tax reductions and subsidies. The
committee investigating wartime
petroleum shortages made the rec
concentrations in a report to the
senate.
OLLOWS ANNOUNCEMENT
This report followed an announce
ment by WPB Chairman Donald M
Nelson, refusing to give Ickese the
rationing control. Nelson, however,
set up petroleum rationing policy
committee, headed by Price Admin
iStrator Prentiss NJ Brown. This
committee will undertake to elimi-
nate conflicts among the agencies
involved in rationing. Ickes will
continue to specify the amounts of
gasoline and fuel oil that are avail
able for ratiOpipp
The senate committee, headed by
Sen. Francis Maloney, D., Conn,
made recommendation including:
l. Authority over petroleum pro-
ducts should be further centralized
in Ickes' hands, except that the
Office of Defense Transportation
should retain control over common
carriers. The Office of Price Ad-
ministration would continue to op-
crate the mechanics of rationing.

greatly in excess of those in east
