By Th. Associated Pr.ii While this exclusively navy . operation continued, General MacArthur sent his bombers in . sliiiOal tntse'iess harassment of ' Japanese bases and supply lines ; In the southwest Pacific. Assist Guerillas A town on the southeast coast of Timor. Dutch island In Japa- '; nese occupation, was bombed. J and the Melbourne Herald, say ing that silled troops were still operating in the interior there, speculated that the Timor at tacks were meant to assist the guerrilla forces. Besides the bombing of Timor, the MacArthur communique also reported continued patrol skirm ishing in New Guinea between small enemy forces and allied outposts beyond the Owen Stan' ... ley range, a line of natural de- .- fens, for the allied force at Port Moresby. Tha Japanese radio at Saigon, French Indo-China. reported that Hanoi and Haiphong, capital and big northern port, respectively, of the enemy-controlled terri tory, had been raided. Haiphong was bombed by China-based United States planes on Aug.. 9. Without confirmation from any allied source, Tokyo broad cast today that Japanese submar ines operating In Australian wat ers had sunk 10 allied vessels to taling about 90,000 tons between mid-July and mid-August Indian Controversy The controversy In and over India was as far as ever from the solution needed to evoke India's fullest war effort on behalf of the United Nations. The situation was character ized (1) by the urging of the prominent Indian lawyer. Sir Tej Bahadar Sapru, that Britain send a parliamentary delegation to discuss a settlement of the inde pendence demands of the Gand-hl-led congress party and (2) by Mohammed AH Jinnah's threat to order his Moslem league to re list any Hindu government the British might set up. The All-India Moslem league, rival of the Hindu-dominated congress party, professes to speak for India's 80,000,000 Mos lem minority. . The communique made no mention of the current situation in the Solomons except to say that "the shore positions taken by U. S. forces have since been developed- and are now well established," but a naval spokes roan who declined to permit use of his name added to this the statement that "the campaign in the Solomons is continuing." At the outset .of the action, when "several - landings were made on islands in the Guadal- canal-Tulari area, the navy said, vigorous enemy resistance was encountered but was rapidly overcome and a number of Jap anese prisoners were taken. Throughout the landing oper ations, the navy related, Amer ican cruisers, and destroyers formed a screening force around the transports and cargo ships swiftly unloading their troops and equipment It was at this time that the enemy attacked with land-based aircraft, but was driven off with losses. ' The naval engagement, which the navy declared was the "only engagement between surface forces which has been fought to date in the Solomon islands," occurred that night and was con sidered a; complete victory for the American forces since the enemy failed to reach his main objective and disrupt the land ing operations. The navy said that no further statement could be made at this iime on the extent of damage to the American forces "because of the obvious value of such in formation to the enemy."

(The Germans claimed the capture of Maikop August 9.) The great weight of numeri cal superiority, especially in mechanized equipment, was giv ing the German drive toward Grozny Its impetus as the red army continued to fall back to new lines southeast of Mineral nye Vody, 14Q miles from Grozny. There was no indication of a stiffening of resistance al though the midnight communi que said the soviet forces "re treated to new positions and continued fighting."

As a consequence, an embassy source said, "grave events may take place within 24 hours." He did not explain the sig nificance of this statement but observers "speculated that it might mean a declaration of war by Brazil against the axis. (The Baependy, a 4801-ton ship owned by the Lloyd Brasi leiro line, is the twelfth Brazil' ian vessel sunk in the war. It was built at Hamburg, Germany, in 1899 and its home port was Rio de Janeiro. The ship was 375 feet long and had a beam of 46 feet.) Inspectors Asked to Watch ''Labor Hoarding" By FRANCIS M. L.MAY WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (JPh- A high placed government offi cial said today the war man-pow er commission would ask the war and navy departments and the maritime commission to place Inspectors in cost-plus war pro duction plants to break what he called a growing practice of 'la bor hoarding." ' 1 ' The official, who requested that his name not be used, dis closed that he had received an informal report, not yet checked by a detailed study, that 35,000 workmen could be taken out of west coast airplane and ship building plants without affecting the volume and quality of pro duction. "Cost-plus" plants were report ed to be putting on their pay rolls thousands of workmen for whom they have no Immediate, essential jobs, he said; and he ex plained the plants were doing this to make certain they would have adequate workmen in the event an increase of their oper ations created additional labor needs. This "hoarding" was described as a serious interference to the rhythm of war production, with valuable workers held in virtual unproductivity in some plants while others were handicapped by actual shortages. WAR VETERAN PHILADELPHIA P George Metzger, who's been on the same Job 72 years, thinks he may be the oldest war worker In the nation. Metzger, a blacksmith In a factory, helped make dies for the government during the Spanish-American war. He's doing it again now at 85.

The presence of both Gen. Sir Alan Francis Brooke, chief of the British imperial general staff, and Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, British commander in India, indicated extraordi nary scope to the military side of the Moscow conferences. Brooke is commander of the British one army which would spearhead any allied invasion of the continent, while Wavell, in India, guards the last main bastion separating the opposite ends of the axis the Japanese in Burma and the Germans in the Caucasus. Wavell predicted last Novem ber., that the Caucasus and Iran will be the main theater of the war this year when and if the Germans struck out for oil. , Middle East Forces There have been persistent reports of the presence of in creasing number of British and United States forces and sup plies in India, Iraq and Iran. .-.WHat Churchill and Roose velt talked about and decided at' their 'June meeting no doubt was discussed fully with Stalin, and it ' was the basis of what the United States and Britain can offer Russia In the way of war material or diversionary ac tion that the decisions in Mos cow were reached.

He then walked three quar- ters of a mile to the nearest highway and directed state po lice back to the scene of tho wreck. He had previously sig naled for help by firing three shots from his revolver." An investigation of the acci dent, one of the worst in me history of United States mili tary aviation, was launched, but the army released no details on the possible cause. The huge plane sheared tree tops for 100 yards as it plunged toward a flat spot atop 2200- loot Garnet peak on the moun tain, then burst into flames. So thick were the woodlands and the terrain almost impas sable that veteran woodchop pers struggled for hours to make a path, to the wreckage, enabling army medical units to carry out the bodies of the vic tims. A civilian defense aircraft ob servation post in this tiny town of 34 families first sighted the transport as it plummeted into pine trees.
