structed dugoutS, and when they
began heavy fire, progress was slow
and costly. The enemy delivered ar
air counterattack in the afternoon
but it was Ineffective.
BY the next afternoon, our ma
rines were in complete control o!
Tulagi Island and were making
satisfactory progress on Guadal-
canal, where they had taken pos.
session of the airfield. The immedi-
ate objectives of the operation hae
therefore been obtained, at the cost
OF one transport sunk, one destroyer
damaged and subsequently sunk
and one destroyer damaged. Plane
losses amounted to 81 fighters.
Repulsed Air Raids,
We had repulsed air raids on the
7th and 9th with only moderate
losses, but those attacks had con-
siderably delayed and unloading oi
our transports and cargo vessels
Moreover, in spite of heavy plane
losses inflicted on the enemy, fur
there attacks on our vessels were a
surety, perhaps by surface craft and
perhaps by enemy planes based on
Santa Isabel Island At this critical
time it became necessary for our
carriers to withdraw from their
covering position because of lack of
fuel, and also because the Japanese
had shown considerable air strength
ana were suspected of having SUBJ
marines available, to which we did
not care to expose our carriers.
In that situation. the cruisers of
the screening forces under the COM
mand of Rear Admiral Crutchley,
r. NJ, took up night disposition
designed to protect the area between
the Guadalcanal and Florida Is
lands and the channel on either side
Of Savo Island. The northern group
covering the latter area consisted
of the heavy cruisers Vincennes,
Quincy and Astoria, screened by the
destroyers Helm and Wilson. The
southern group consisted of the
Australian cruiser Canberra and the
Chicago, screened by the Patterson
and Bagley. Two destroyers, the
Ralph Talbot and the Blue, were
stationed not far from Savo Island.
Late in the evening of August 8,
conference was held on board
Rear Admiral Turner's flagship, the
McCawley. This conference in
cluded Rear Admiral Crutchley, in
the Australia.
Little Effective Return Fire.
A force of enemy cruisers and de-
stroyers entered the area unde-
tected from the northwest at about
0145 and, aided by flares dropped
by enemy planes, opened fire on our
screening groups with guns and
torpedoes. The result of the sur
prise and of the japanese fire, which
was sufficiently effective to inf1ict
severe damage on our vessels in a
few minutes, was that there was
little effective return fire. The ac-
tion ceased at about OILS at which
time the japanese force, having
rounded Savo Island, left the area
on a northeasterly course. During
those 80 minutes the Quincy, Vim
cennes. Astoria and Canberra were
so severely damaged that they sub
sequently sank, and the Chicago,
Ralph Talbot and Patterson were
damaged.
The surprise, which was the i'm
mediate cause of the defeat, was the
result of a combination of circum-

Hotels Here Challenge
Authority Of Fec 10
Slash Phone Charges
Mccoy Informs Court
D. c. Places Are Billed
On Size of Switchbourds
BULLETIN.

Justice Daniel w. O'DonS
oghue of District Court in an
oral decision today announced
he would grant the Federal
Communications Commission
an Injunction against 27 local
hotels to stop them from max
ing extra charges, over and
above regular toll charges for
long-distance telephone calls.
The formal order actually
granting the injunction was
not Immediately signed.
Additional witnesses were to be
heard today in District Court before
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue in the
injunction suit brought by the Fed
eral Communications Commission to
stop hotels from making extra
charges on long-distance telephone
calls.
The FEC suit names 27 hotels, the
American Telegraph g. Telephone
Co. and the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. as defendants.
Shortly after the trial of the case
began yesterday David E. Mccoy,
general commercial manager of the
Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co tooty tho ctond
Mr.. Mccoy explained that hotels
are billed for telephone service in
accordance with the size of switch
boards and the number of branches.
He said that after the FEC had
ordered the telephone company to
file new tariff rates the company had
offered to credit the hotels on the
bills in the amount of Is per cent
of the total charges if the hotels
agreed not to make additional
charges to regular guests or tran
s1ents--over and above the regular
telephone rate. Only one of the
hotels, however, agreed to this, he
said, and then only temporarily.
Another witness, L. Gardner
Moore, manager of the Shoreham
Hotel, testified that the average ad-
dltlonal charge to a person making
a Iong-dlstance telephone call from
the hotel was 10 per cent.
The hotels, through their attorney.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, claim that
the extra charges are for service and
are not telephone toll charges. Mr.,
McGarraghy pointed out that the
hotels have to hire their own tele-
phone operators.
Another court action is pending
on extra charges made by hotels
Tor local and nearby calls. In this
connection, 27 hotels filed a plea
tuesday asking District Court to set
aside an order of the Public Utilities
commission which forbids the extra
charges on the local calls.

"5pY SHIP" TO OPEN TONIGHT,
 10TH CENTURY

Spy Ship Warner s.-First National picture coming to the 20th Century Theatre tonight, is another example of how Hollywood keeps ahead of the headlines
 Spy Ships" which deals with fifth column sabotage in the United States, was in the making months before the FBI announced the ar rest of eight German secret agents who had landed on this coast via submarine and rubber boats. It even preceded scandal in which a famous women flier was arrested for dealing with the enemy.
 In Spy Ship Irene Manning plays the part of famed aviatriS who becomes. involved with Nag agents and betrays her country by radioing secret information which leads to the sinking of American vessels.
 Michael Ames, insurance execu- tive. engaged to Pam (Miss Man. ning's role), is the tool she uses tc obtain her information about sail ing dates. Maris Wrixon is tho girl who eventually works with Gov ernment agents to give the betray- ing Irene her just deserts.

LAUREL, HARDY BACK AGAIN IN
 CAPITOL FILM

Laurel and Hardy are back again in a hilarious new comedy in tune with the times in M-G-Ms Air Raid Wardens," opening tonight at the Capitol Theatre. Though the picture is chock full of riotous sit- nations the comedians poke fun at no one but themselves and deliver a stirring patriotic lesson.
 When the two partners try to join the armed forces and are re- jected by all branches, they return to their home town and become air raid wardens to do their bit. When their blunders create havoc in the ranks they become perilously involv- ed and as a result are mustered out of the warden's service. But they manage to stumble on a ring of saboteurs and round them up tc become the towns heroes.
 Poignant melodramatic thrills, to- gether with an expressing mystery story, are said to be excitingly pre- sented in Universal's Two Tickets to London" also seen on the double bill.
 Michele Morgan, known as the most popular screen actress of pre- war France, is starred. Alan Curtis appears with her in a romantic action packed role. Distinguished players in the supporting cast in- clude c. Aubrey Smith, Barry Fitz- gerald, Tarquin Olivier, Mary Cor don, Oscar O'Shea and Dooley Will son.

Canadians Declared
Defau|ting on Draft
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press
OTTAWA. May John Diefen-

conservative. told the House of Com
mons yesterday the Canadian con-
|scription record reveals an appall-
ing condition Of default and dis
obedience" and said 100000 men
had failed to respond to service calls.
His charge was disputed by Labor
Minister Humphrey Mitchell, who
reported subsequently that Canada s
manpower pool was so near the
bottom of the barrel six men had
to be called to provide one for the
army.
Mr.. Diefenbaker, speaking on
labor department war estimates,
said a return on file in the House
showed 1,449,4l7 men were called
for medical examination and 979.-
$50 reported, leaving 469.8 unac-
counted for, less 71,545 who enlisted
on receiving their Gallup notice.
Mr.. Mitchell had stated previously
only 49.00l men now were unae-
counted for and later told the
Commons he stood by his report,
saying Mr.. Diefenbaker had quoted
figures Ito suit himself"
Under the Canadian system men
cannot be conscripted for duty out
