PRINCIPAL IN
 FRAUD JAILED
Man Extradited Here on
 NOn.Support Charge Gets M One.Year Term

Charging that divorce obtained by Richard R. Morse of Baltimore was a fraud on the courts. Judge Frank P. McEcoy imposed sefl- tence of one year in New Haven county jail when the former local resident pleaded guilty to charge of i1eglecting to support his former wife and their minor child. The accused was brought here from Bale tirnore Saturday and taken to Jail after he failed to raise Q $s,500 bond.
 Assistant States Attorney Walter snyth told the court Monroe left his wife in September 1940, ob- taining a divorce without her kn0wl- edge on February l4, in Florida. He stated that service of di iorce pa- pers was made by publication, that an incorrect address was giveIl, and that his wife had no actual notice of the pending suit. MT. snythe said the accused married Hartford woman who also secured a divorce by Q similar method.
 Judge McEvoy prior to imposing sentence referred to the deception employed by the accused and his disregard of responsibility for the care of the minor son. '-ublic De- fender Edward T. Carmody who ap- peared for Monroe, stated that the accused had intentions of contribute ing to the support of his former family but financial circumstances did not permit action. 5e@ta.

 At this point the House cheered.
 "Of course understand that there are divisions of opinion in this country and in the United States" Eden continued. land we are perfectly entitled to hold our different points of view.
 "All I ask the House to do is to give arrangements the best chance to work out. think Gen. Giraud is an extremely gallant French sol. dier. should feel very proud if l had. his record in fighting Ger many"
 Pressed by members to make Q statement on release of political prisoners in North Africa, Eden rec fused to do so.
 Early in his speech he said that North Africa was French and that Girauds administration was @ French one.
 "It is not a French government. properly so-called, nor provisional government nor even Q prospective government" Eden said, "but 1t Is for the time being the responsible administration for certain parts of the French empire.
 Administering a territory like North Africa with Q mixed popula- ton, is not easy, particularly when military operations are still going on, nor is 1t easy to adapt for pur- poses of war administration of a territory which has been out of the war for 3 Ia years. Nor can we expect that deep cleavages between Frenchmen can be easily bridged."
 Gen. Giraud has made 1t clear that in his view there Is only one political test to be applied to North Africa. It is that whoever the inc dividual may be and whatever his political views have been he should be prepared to fight and work against the common enemy.
 T do not think that members would ask for a better test than this"
 The House cheered that statement also.

NAVAL BATTLE
 STILL SECRET
Americans and Japs in Major Engagement in
 Solomon Islands
BY FRANK TRENIAINE United Press stan Correspondent


 Headquarters, United States Pa- cific Fleet, Pearl Harbor, Feb. 3 = (UP)--United States and Japanese naval forces are fighting major engagement In the fourth attempt by Japan to retrieve It's position in the Solonno1s Islands, 1t was in- dicated today.
 Extent of the engagement was still naval secret. But it was known that both sides had concen- trated an important part of their naval strength in the south Pacific
 Tokyo dispatches indicated that the action started of Rennell island, at the southwest end of the Solo, mons. Naval quarters said that If this were true the Japanese might be trying Q new point of attack after having been thrashed soundly in three attempts to reach Quadal- canal island down the slot" of the solomons from the northwest.
 Alternatively, well informed quar- ters said, an attack of Rennell might be an enemy diversion In. tended to cover @ main attack from Rabaul, the great Japanese base in New Britain island above the Solo. mons where anxious Australia had reported weeks ago the concefltra- ton of Q big enemy neet-co contain. ing many transports, which the planes of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's command have attacked repeatedly with devastating effect.
 It was indicated that the daily current attacks by MacArthur's air force on Rahaul were a part of the picture still to be revealed regarding the main action in the Solotno1s.
 The Rabaul concentration, along with the construction of new Jap- anese air bases in the Solomons northwest of Quadalcanal, were taken here aS meaning that the Japanese had now embarked on @ strong attempt either to regain con- trol of the Solomons where United States Army troops have now taken over from the Marines, or to prevent the extension of United States con- tyol.
 The Japanese might be planning the occupation of new islands In the Solomons from which they might harass the 0uadalcanal sup. ply lines and attack Henderson field, the Quadalcanal air base, by air.
 There was considerable interest here, while full ltports from the Solomons were awaited, In Arl- nouncements that iand-based Amer. ican planes had attacked Japanese Tarawa island in the Gilbert group.
 Tarawa was attacked in the United States raid on the Gilberts and MarshAlls Feb. 1, 1042. But this was the first land based attack on the Gilberts.
 The Navy did not announce the take-oR place of the attacking planes. But 0uadalcanal is about l,200 miles away, the Fijis are 1900 and Samoa is 1,600. All are within range of big Liberator bombers, in. formants said, but extreme range.
 Thus the possibility was indicated that the United States might have expanded It's Pacific holdings to new bases.
 In this connection informants pointed to the statement by Score. tary of Navy Frank Knox Issued here Jan,s % after e two-week in- Spectioll of the Pacific front, em- phasizing Americas increasing Pa- citlc air power.
