KNOX REPORTS
L
OF JAP FLEET
(Continued from Page One)
American torpedo boats In the
last two days scored a torpedo
hit on a Japanese destroyer en
gaged in reinforcing enemy
troops on the island.
This was the first disclosure
that the enemy still was pour
ing troops ashore, bolstering his
already formidable contingents
for the attack on the prize air
base.
The communique said land
fighting for the past 48 hours
had been restricted to small
skirmishes, but U. S. warplanes
continued to bomb and strafe
enemy positions west of the air
field and destroyed two more
Japanese seaplanes.
Either for reasons of military
secrecy or because of blackout
communications, the navy in
Washington divulged no fresh
information or movements of
the Japanese fleet in the critical
south sea battle zone.
The situation . suggested that
a terrific Japanese naval assault
might break shortly against ad'
mittedly outnumbered U, S. war
ships in the Solomon islands
area, although other reports
have indicated that the power
ful enemy squadron of battle
ships and aircraft carriers may
have been seeking to skirt the
Solomons and - descend upon
American bases in the New
Hebrides and Fiji Islands.
On Guadalcanal, the navy re
ported, American defenders
broke up three more- Japanese
attacks on October 27 (island
time) and there was no indica
tion that the enemy had en
croached further on their nar
row beachhead.

Bill to be Presented
The three far-reaching propo
sitions generally were aimed at
erasing what some of their spon
sors termed "jealousy" in the
fighting forces, "red tape" 'in
government and "duplication of

Lumber Shortage
Starts Survey
Of Millwork
(Continued from Page One)
lumber mills have fallen behind
in orders from 20 to 120 days.
He estimated the overall deficit
of manpower in the Industry
would amount to 14 per cent of
normal.
"With less manpower, a cur
tailment of production has taken
place though the demand for
lumber has grown by leaps and
bounds," Upson said. "It all
adds up to a lumber shortage."
. Mathias W. Niewenhous, as
sistant chief of the branch, said
that in order to avert needless
shutdown, dislocations and hard
ships to the industry," a pro
gram of concentration is in the
making."
The main features of the
plan, similar to those already
introduced in other war indus
tries, would have some mills
producing exclusively for war
purposes and others taking care
of essential civilian needs.

Complaint
Ho objected also to tha quali
fications for holding city office,
asserting that anyone having a
"beneficial Int.rest" In property
Is qualified so far as property Is
concerned to hold office under
tho now charter. Under this sec
tion, ho said, anyone having a
mero Iraoo on property could
hold office. The old charter, he
stotud, required that a person be
an "owner" of p opcrty to hold
office here.
Tho attorney also complained
to provisions whereby assess
ment procedure Is to be handled
by ordinance and not In tho char
ter. Appointive Office
Lea Jacobs, a member of the
chnrtor committee, then took the
floor and discussed briefly the
question of civil service In the
new charter. Me said that full
provision for this function was
not made in the charter, hut
there was no Intention of leaving
It out. The city council, he said,
Is committed to adoption by
ordlnnnco of all the civil service
provisions of tho old charter.

Ordinances Possible
W. O. Smith, long-time mem
ber of city budget boards, then
came to the defense of the char
ter as proposed, calling the ob
jections a "tempest In a ten pot,"
He said that technical faults can
be found with the old charter
or any such document, but that
In general the new charter is
basic authority and that he be
lieves it can be safely passed and
will bring efficiency into the
(unctions of the city government.
He said that after the charter
Is passed, the city council In 30
or 40 ordinances can provide for
virtually all the regulations
needed In the city, eliminating
unnecessary material and codify
ing that which should be contin
ued. Mitchell Tlllotson, local bank
er, then called uttentlon to finan
cial features of the new charter
which he regards as subject to
question.
Ho said that under the new
charter, there Is not : sufficient
protection thrown around the
bond retirement money, and
that a council could use this
money as It sees fit. This, he
said, might Injure the city's cred
It. He also said the charter does
not give proper authority to the
council for borrowing money be'
twecn funds, and the city might
at times havo to rely upon the Is
suanco of protested warrants
when it has money available
which might be borrowed from
Its own funds If the charter
granted this authority.
That concluded the discussion.
The charter will be on the bal
lot at the general election, No
