Another communique Saturday reported successful aerial attacks against a squadron of four Japa nese destroyers in the ' Jap-held territory north of the Guadal-canal-Tulagi sector. One large de stroyer was sunk, another was badly damaged and probably sunk, and the third, a small de stroyer, was damaged. , The comunique related that the American navy transport and screening forces approached the , Tulagi-Guadalcanal area the night of August 8-7 in clear weather and unopposed.

Beachheads were ?soon estab lished," the navy continued, and while ' varying degrees of resist ance were encountered, the mar ines by nightfall had established a strong beachhead on Guadalcan al and had captured most of Tu lagl, all of Gavutu and one posi tion on Florida Island. During the night and next morning they crossed a causeway from Gavutu and otherwise advanced on the Island of Tanambogo which was taken against strong opposition. Meanwhile, the navy said, the army's long-range' bombers, some from the command of General Douglas MacArthur and others un der Vice-Admiral Robert- Lee Chormley, south Pacific naval chief, were covering a vast area to the north and west of the Solo mons and heavily attacked ships and air bases in the. enemy-held New Britain,- New Guinea and northwestern Solomons areas. -.

A fifth nurse who was on duty on Guam, Miss Virginia J. Forgerty, 31, a native of Akron, Ohio, was mar ried while en route to the United States from Japan to Frederick Mann, former vice counsel , at Osaki, Japan. . . All Americans were removed from Guam Jan. 10 in a former Japanese passenger ship, the Ar gentina Mam. They were taken to the island of Shikoku, In south ern Japan, and placed in a prison at Zentsuji. There were about 400 persons in the prison there, the chief nurse reported, "and not all were Americans. She did ' not identify the other nationalities. At the prison. Miss Olds said, "we were treated fairly well." "We had good food," she con tinued, Hut we had to sleep on the floor and there were only lit tle charcoal fires to keep us warm. The food consisted chiefly of soup and rice and bread with fish oc casionally." The nurses were held at the prison until March 12 and all lost weight on the diet to which they were not accustomed. From Zent suji they were taken to a deten tion house in Kobe where they stayed until June 18 when they try. Tney arrived m New -York on the Gripsholm.

An enemy cargo vessel off Am boina was attacked, but the re sults of ' the bombing could not be observed. The raid at Buka was against a Japanese airfield, where disper sal areas and the runway were heavily hit from medium altitude, Referring to the fighting in New Guinea, the communique said: "Under cover of naval units off the north coast and adverse weather conditions rendering lo cal flying most difficult and in effective, one cruiser and eight destroyers entered 'Milne bay last I night and may have landed light reinforcements. Ground fighting of bitter intensity continues there with no decisive results." In the raid on Rabaul, allied 'heavy bombers hit hard at the airfield, the communique said, . and dropped ten tons of high explosives among buildings and on dispersal areas. Six zero fighters attempted to intercept the bombers, but two were shot down and two others badly damaged and probably de stroyed without loss of any allied planes.

Cut 4243 Tax, Assessor .Reports ' Tax levies for every city and town in Marion county, with the exception of Woodburn, show a decrease from the 1941 tax roll in" the millage figures released Saturday by County Assessor R TadT Shelton for the 1942-43 rolL Salem's decrease of 4.1 mills and Woodburn's Increase of 2.1 mills were both caused by change in assessed valuations. The new personal property tax law requiring taxpayers to make declarations of Values on personal property - used in industry, agri culture or business is credited by Shelton with a largeshare in the increased valuations noted in all cities and towns, with the excep tion of Woodburn. : A sharp decline in valuations may thus be anticipated in later wartime tax rolls, Shelton warn ed, pointing out that elimination of small businesses and depletion of stocks may seriously affect Marion.

The US bombers, cooperating with British naval planes, bombed an axis airport in the El Daba area last night RAF heavy 'and medium bomb ers at the same time smashed at shipping in Tobruk harbor, leav ing at least two ships on fire and one or two others damaged. The anticipated axis offensive in the Egyptian desert appeared Sat urday night to have been post poned, perhaps because of the strong : Russian counter-attacks west and northwest of Moscow. It is considered possible here that the Germans, weak in the air far Africa in recent months, had planned to fly several hun dred planes to Egypt to back up their land forces and have been unable to do so because of de velopments in Russia. n Woman Breaks Arm In Sidewalk Fall Alma Ogden. 2060 Nebraska street, is in the Deaconess hospital suffering from a compound arm fracture.
