Planes Raid Munda.
In the Solomons area Wednesday,
American planes raided enemy posi-
tlons at Munda, the New Georgia Is
land airbase, during both the morn
ing and evening, and Douglas Daunt-
less bombers, with fighter escort,
also attacked nearby Kolombengara
Island. Results were not reported.
On Wednesday night single enemy
planes bombed American positions
on Guadalcanal twice. On Thurs
day a Flying Fortress on a search
mission was attacked by three Zeros
and one of them was shot down.
The damaged Fortress managed to
get back to its base. The single
plane raids on Guadalcanal were
described by Secretary Knox as
more OF the old Washboard Charlie
stun designed to keep them awake
at night"
He apparently referred to the
term used on Guadalcanal to refer
to single-plane night raids as hav-
ing been made by Washing Ma
chine Charles"
Described as Moderate Losses.
Asked for an estimate of losses,
amplifying the Navy's statement
earlier this week that both sides had
suffered losses" Secretary Knox
first said he would describe them as
minor" but subsequent discussions
changed the word to moderate"
i would describe them as mod
crate losses on both Sides he said,
moderate losses in everything-sur-
face and air.
The Secretary was told of reports
in recent dispatches from the Sol
onions that the Japs had thrown a
considerable concentration OF ships,
many OF them warships, into Short
land Harbor, in the Northwestern
Solomons. Secretary Knox said there
always had been Japanese ships in
both the Shorthand area and at
Rabaul, New Britain, but that to
his knowledge there was no great
concentration at either place as
yet"
The situation in the Solomons
now, Secretary Knox said, is that
no great decisive battle has de-
veloped yet and is in fact still in
a preliminary stage
They're trying out their foot
work." the Secretary said.
When he was reminded that in
this sparring there apparently had

that. Of course, You're bound to
have somebody get hurt"
But I'm not kidding you at all,
Secretary Knox said Nothing is
being held back. 1t has all been
preliminary. There has been no
major clash rs yet. I don't know,
but there's every indication they're
getting ready to do something or
other. The various moves would
ordinarily precede an engagement
of some size"
Earlier reports said Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's bombers returned to
their bases from vast raiding arc
which left enemy shipping ablaze
from Ambon. west of New Guinea,
to Talasea on the east, as the troops
on Guadalcanal dug into newly
taken territory after another major

Despite the Nays tight clamp on
details OF the naval actions. 1t ap-
peared clear that the sporadic en-
counters" it reported at sea were
part Of crucial struggle to deter
mine whether the Japs could get
reinforcements through to their

clear the sea lanes for supplies to

Any doubt that that battle may

In fact. fully one-third Of the

for an aerial slugging match which
must precede the anticipated land
engagement.
