tlnuing. The military situation
doei not permit publication of
further details at this time.1
Major Battle Looms
Secretary of the Navy Knox
told his press conference earlier
in the day that preliminary
naval skirmishing was In prog
ress with an enemy fleet In the
Solomons area.
There were indications a ma'
Jor sea battle involving what
may be the largest United States
naval force yet to fight the Jap
anese was Impending.
The Japanese fleet steamed to
ward the southeast Solomons
last week apparently in a new
effort to regain those important
South Pacific islands.
No Pitched Battle
Knox described as incorrect
ny assumption in a navy com
munique last night that a major
engagement already is under
way. In that communique the
navy reported, "The increased
activity on the part of the Jap
anese indicated a major effort
to regain control of the entire
Solomons area."
"It is not true," Knox said,
that a great big fight is going
on. There are a lot of prelim
inary dispositions and prelim
inary moves. But there is no
really pitched battle as yet."
He asserted that the Japanese,
in making reports of a sea bat
tle In the Solomons area, were
"on a fishing expedition," and,
replying to inquiries about the
extent of the fighting, cited the
communique and declared,
"You'll have to be satisfied with
that"
Long Fight Ahead
Knox added that in the Solo
mons area generally, "There is
a long, tough, hard fight ahead
ox us.
Of Guadalcanal Itself, with its
ail-important Henderson air
field, Knox said that "We're in
complete possession and con
trol; we completely dominate the
Guadalcanal area."
He displayed on a map the
Battle areas on Guadalcanal, say
ing that United States forces
hold two per cent of the Island'
area and the Japanese one-half
of one per cent the only parts
of the island involved in the
ground fighting.
Japs Hard Hit
He told of visiting Guadal
anal and going to a command
post in the jungle with Genera
Alexander Patch, commanding
army troops there. From that
outpost, Knox said, he saw Jap
anese aeiues m tne mountains
In which Japanese troops have
ought refuge. - Some of them,
he reported, surrendered while
he was there. -
,,T J - I
uo Know we nave bad a
number ot voluntary surrenders
In excess of any before," Knox
aald. "The groups surrounded
by American troops are in a
hopeless situation and can't get
supplies uirougn.

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 3 VP)
Effort by Henry J. Kaiser ship
yards here to halt an NLRB case
against them failed today when
Federal District Judge James A.
Fee refused them an injunction.
The CIO charged the ship
yards with making Illegal closed
shop contracts with AFL unions
and the NLRB is hearing the
charges. The Kaisers asked
Judge Fee to enjoin the labor
board on the grounds that two
members were prejudiced and
pre-judged the case. "
Judge Fee, after pondering
arguments for several weeks, to
day based his dismissal, of the
injunction plea on lack of juris
diction. The labor board hearing is in
its fourth week.
