minutes this morning in the first
daytime "alert" aimed at pre-

Throughout the entire metro

No Heavy Fight
YET in Progress
Knox Declares
Believe Jops Have
Hurled Big Force
into Solomons Area

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 - P
- Secretary of the Navy Knox
described sea battle in pro-
gress off the Solomon Islands to-
day as "a process of feeling out
on both Sides" but said there is
mo really pitched battle as yet
Nobody knows yet what the
immediate future holds, but any
assumption in a Navy communi-
que last night that there is a
major battle underway, Knox
told a press conference, is in
correct.
The communique report e i
that increased activity on the
part of the Jap reese indicates a
major effort to regain control
of the entire Solomons area" 1t
also asserted hat both United
States and japanese forces had
suffered losses.
NO BIG BATTLE
1T is not true" Knox said,
THAT great big fight is going
on. There are a lot of prelimi
nary dispositions and prelimi-
nary moves. But there is no re-
ally pitched battle as yet"
He asserted that the Japanese,
iii making reports of q sea bat
tie in the Solomons area, were
ION a fishing expedition" and,
replying to inquiries about the
extent of the fighting, cited the
communique and declared, you
will have to be satisfied with
that"
The outcome of the sea-air
fighting, which may mark the
crucial, point in long struggle
for control of the South Pacific
archipelago, remained in doubt
here but the Navy said both
sides have suffered losses.
In communique late yester-
day the Navy explained details
we're withheld because their dis
closure at this time would affect
adversely future operations in
the area.
