More miners went back to work in

fields of Pennsylvania today, but
continued revolt against orders of
United Mine Workers leaders kept
$4,000 of Pennsylvania's soft coal
miners out of the pits.
The strike situation in Alabama,

slightly as yesterdays total of rs

men came to work in its four big
pits, while a few miners showed up
at two mines of the Republic Steel
Co., which also has taken out two
furnaces to lose LOO tons of iron

Despite the reluctance of Pennsyl-

Veto ussIe
Between FDR
And Congress
By JOHN L. CUTTER
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlteu fTeSS StdH correspondent
Washington, July 1-(UP)-An
unhappy fiscal new year for the gov
eminent today found 10 war agen-
cies and four departments without
funds, congress- vacation delayed
and the administration rollback OF
food prices temporarily outlawed.
1t also brought indications of an
other veto tussle between congress
and President Roosevelt. Both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders
predicted that the chief executive
would veto the bill which kills the
rollbacksr.-su subsidy program even
though it carries an extension of life
for the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton.
Three times within two weeks MIR.
Roosevelt has denounced critics OF
that program and challenged them
to offer better plan for holding
prices in line. He had warned con-
gress that 100 per cent responsibility
would fall on it for an inflationary
spiral if the subsidy program was
killed.
But with tempers high, congress
went ahead and sent the stop order
on the rollback-subsidy program to
the White House.
AS a result of its action on that
program, and inaction on unfinished
appropriation bills, congress decided
to stay around for at least several
more days and may decide to stay
until the president acts on the sub
sidy issue.
Government agencies and depart
ments will be able to get along
without money for a while, but the
effects of congress economy axe will
be felt today when the Office of War
Information regional offices-for
which funds have been denied-Will
begin to close their doors.
Even the president was left for
the time being without emergency
funds-the first time since Pearl
Harbor.
Abandoning efforts to clean the
appropriation calendar by last mid
nights deadline, congress completed
action on only two out of nine vital
bills. Those were the ST., 500000O00
Army appropriation bill and the
measure extending the life of the
farm-important CCC for two more
years.
The tangle over appropriations
will be Strengthened out in time,
but the CCC bill augurs a legisla-
tive presidential controversy which
will outrank the recent one in which
an angry congress OVERRIDE the

Americans Achieve Preliminary
Obiectiues In Pacific Offensive
BY BYRON C. TAVES


Allied Headquarters, Australia,
July combined American land,
Sc and air forces were believed to
have achieved preliminary objec-
tives today in a new South Pacific
offensive operation against the
island stepping stones to the key
japanese base at Rabaul. (The Mel
bourne radio said the attacks were
made through stormy weather and
high seas0
The United States assault forces,
supported by naval and air units,
seized the Trobriand Islands and
Woodlark Island without opposition
and were fighting Japanese troops
on New Georgia and Rendova in the
Solomon Islands.
Official information as to later
progress was lacking, but indications
were that the operations were pro-
ceeding according to plans laid down
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur, who
is in supreme command, following
establishment of bridgeheads. Ma
rineS, soldiers and naval forces, IN
GLIDING mosquito torpedo boats par
ticipated in the operations.
American, Australian and Dutch
air forces attacked in great strength
to pave the way fer the offensive
operations, to neutralize Japanese
air power as far north as Rabaul,
and to support American troops
landing on Trobriand, Woodlark and
Rendova island and at Nassau bay.
Enemy airdromeS were blanketed
with bombs and the big Japanese
base at Rabaul was raided all of
Tuesday night, while Allied bomb
ers hammered the enemy in the
Nassau sector prior to the midnight
landing in small boats which were
severely tossed about by high seas
and stormy weather.
MacArthur's headquarters gave no
official indication of the eventual
scope or goal of the offensive, but
said that it should not be described
as a general offensive.
The operations are on a shallow
arc extending from the middle Solo,
mon islands on the east to Nassau
bay, some 700 miles to the west
where American forces landed with
out position only 10 miles south
of the japanese base at Salamaua
on the north New Guinea coast. In
effect, the whole operation meant
that the Americans were biting into
the outer rim of defenses protecting
Rabaul, which lies some 300 miles
north of Trobriand island.
Trobriand and Woodlark islands
aerial reach into the Rabaul sector,
are expected to lengthen the Allied
although air bases may not exist on
the islands at present.
GA Tokyo broadcast, in the first
japanese reference to the Allied Of
fensive, quoted japanese commun-
ique as acknowledging an American
landing on Rendova, but claiming
that six transports, three cruisers
and a destroyer were sunk or dam
planes were shot down, the COM
aged severely. Thirty-one Allied
munique said, and fighting con-
tinues.")
A communique from MacArthur's
headquarters disclosed that the

men that the drive appeared to be
making satisfactory progress and
proceeding according to plan.
No Lives Lost
All personnel had been removed
from the 7,712- ton McCawley, the
former Grace liner Santa Barbara,
before it was sunk. The Navy said
no loss of life was reported. The ship
was commanded by Condr. Robert
H. Rodgers, IL, a native of Knox
vile, Tenn. 1t was first disabled by
japanese torpedo planes after the
troops had been landed on Rem
dova. Later submarine sank it.
Viru harbor, on the southern side
of the southeastern tip of New
Georgia, is 80 miles from Munda,
also on the same island. 1t was
taken by "joint" United States
forces on July / "wednesday Wash
ington time).
The japanese evidently mustered
every type of aircraft available in
the Munda area in a futile effort
to smash the American landings on
Rendova. With zeros, mediura
bombers and dive bombers, they at-
tackled from forenoon until late
afternoon on Wednesday (Solomons
time).
More than half the Japanese
planes were doWned by the guns of
our supporting naval craft and our
airmen, according to an incomplete
count.
The Navy said II of our planes
are missing.
The start of the Solomons phase
of the offensive wasp receded by
two smashing air attacks on Japa-
nese bases in the central Solomons.
On Tuesday night (Solomons
time), torpedo and dive bombers
blasted the air field, the stores and
camp area at Villa on Kolombangara
Island, near Munda.
Early the next Gay, a formation
of medium, dive and torpedo bomb
ers smashed the Japanese defensive
positions and the camp area at
Munda, starting big fire.
The two-pronged offensive appar-
emily is aimed at isolating and per-
haps later crushing the main Jap
anese Southwest Pacific base at RAJ
baul, lew Britain Island. 1t is I'M
der the overall command of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. American
troops under his command have
landed on Trobriand Islands and
Woodlark Islands, few hundred
miles from the southern tip of New
Guinea, while other forces seized
Nassau Bay, less than 10 miles south
of Japanese controlled Salamaua on
New Guinea.
Halsey in Command
But most of the action appeared
to be taking place in the northeast
ern arm of the :1fnctrs, in the Sol
onions, where the combined forces
were assumed to be under the i'm
mediate command of Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey, Jr.
The McSaWley's loss, according to
the navys tabulation, raised to 101
the total of American naval losses
to date. This includes n ships sunk,
Is overdue and presumed lost and
nine destroyed to prevent capture.
The McCawley was built in Eng
land for the Grace lines in 1928 and
was acquired by the Navy il. July,
1910, at a cost of $1,314,223.
Converted into a transport, the
ship was renamed in honor of the

Zadig, over which she claimed she
had a hypnotic influence. She
claimed her books we're not about
