rector James F. Bvrnes to-
day called Vice President
Henry A. Wallace and Sec
retary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones
to his White House office for a
face-to-face effort to settle their
bitter dispute.
House Republicans, meanwhile,
sought full-dress congressional
investigation of the uproar caused
by Wallace's charges that Jones was
hamstringing the Board of Eco
nomic Warfare. Representative
Richard D. Wigglesworth. Republi-
can, Mass, noting that Jones had
asked for an investigation, intro
duced a resolution calling for the
inquiry.
STRONG CONVICTIONS
ByrneS told a press conference
that as long as there are men of
strong convictions in the depart

opinion and when I hear about
them I try to resolve them"
Announcing that he had asked
Wallace and Jones to come to his
office at pm, ByrneS said the
purpose of the conference woCla be
discussion of "the controversy
which has been reported in the
press"
Byrnes said he acted in accord
ance with the assignment given him
by the President, when he was made
war mobilization director, to see
that controversies between agencies
of the government were resolved.
Byrnes said he had no advance
knowledge that wallace was going

The enemy had certain military

Russell Islands, heretofore the most
northwestward part of the Solomons

is ITO miles from the main Allied
base in the Solomons, located on

NOT NECESSARY
Military experts believed that with
U. S. forces firmly established on
Rendova, it might not be necessary
to capture Munda itself. That base
is on New Georgia island, which is
separated from Rendova by the
Blanche channel, only a few miles
across. The Rendova force, it was
believed, might be able to isolate
and neutralize Munda so effectively
that it would be of no use to the
Japanese.
The Rendova operation was re-
garded by observers here as part
of a campaign to wipe out advance
Japanese bases as a prelude to a
greater American offensive. This
