Converted to a transport, she
was renamed in honor of the late
Colonel Charles G. McCawley,
seventh commandant of the mar
ine corps.
The McCawley Jane's fighting
ships carried a five-inch gun
three three-inch guns and vari
ous smaller weapons and had a
normal complement of 197 crew
members with a transport capac
ity of about 1800 persons.
Observers expressed belief
that Tokyo's warlords cannot
much longer avoid another open
test of sea power if they hope
to stem the coordinated land,
naval and air drive that began
with announcement that Ameri
can forces had landed on Ren'
dova island and was followed
quickly by a series of trip-hanv
mer assaults on key points of the
New Guinea area.
That Gen. Douglas MacArthur
personally is directing the whole
action underscored the full dress
nature of the campaign now un
der way. As allied forces moved
into position from Nassau bay on
the north coast of New Guinea
to Rendova and New Georgia is
lands in the Central Solomons
fighting in some places and unop
posed in others it appeared that
a gigantic pincers movement was
being aimed at the strategic and
heavily fortified enemy base at
Rabaul, on New Britain. Rabaul
is generally regarded as the cen
ter of the whole Japanese struc
ture in the south and southwest
Pacific areas.
Compel Action
It was believed here that the
enemy now may be compelled
to throw battleships and aircraft
carriers, cruisers,, destroyers and
submarines into a major counter
offensive. Loss of Rabaul not
only would expose the supply
lines which link all of Japan's
conquered territories in that
whole area but would give the
allies jumping-off place for an
assault on the big enemy naval
base of Truk island, 1000 miles
to the north.
Distances furnish a clue to the
future development of the cam
paign. Rendova is only five nau
tical miles from the enemy air
base at Munda, which in turn is
only 125 miles from the Japanese
bases in the Shortland island
Bougainville area and 360 miles
fighter plane range from Ra
baul. The Rendova operation, direct
ed by Admiral William Hslsey,
commander of the South Pacific
forces which were merged under
MacArthur's Southwest Pacific
command for the joint opera
tion, forms the eastern prong of a
giant pincers pointing toward
Rabaul. To the west are Mac
Arthur's own forces battling to
ward the enemy stronghold at
Salamaua, only a few miles from
Nassau bay. And in the middle
of these two operations are the
Trobriand and Woodlark island
groups, which were occupied by
allied forces without oppisition.
MILK PRICE
PORTLAND, Ore., July 1 (IP)
To offset increased production
costs, the regional OPA office to
day increased milk price ceilings
in many sections of Oregon and
in five southwest Washington
counties under the Portland du
trict.
In some cases the price to the
producer was increased but the
retail price held at its present
level. These instances, tnciua
ins: the Portland market, were
where OPA received evidence
that while producers were being
pinched, distributors were re
ceiving a margin greater than
necessary.
Explaining the increase, Blair
Stewart, district OPA officer.
said that "we were under an in
hibition by the department of
agriculture not to set fluid milk
prices so high that they would
attract milk away from the man
ufactured milk industries. The
manufacture of dried and pro
cessed milk for export to the
armed forces must be Increased
. -. . and the war food administra
tion insists' that the consumption
of fluid milk most not be in
creased.. It has already reached
a higher per capita rate than at
any time in our history.
In most parts of Oregon prices
were set at 85 cents per pound
butterfat at the producer with
the wholesale price at 11.75
cents and the retail price at 13.5
cents per quart.
Southern Oregon counties in
cluded in the 85 cents, 11.79 and
13.5 cents prices were Douglas
except that portion west of the
coast range, Jackson, Josephine
and Klamath.
GERMAN SUB LOSSES
LONDON, July 1 (P) British

precision methods, for every

No Strike
At Portland, J. E. Fadling,

tion did not constitute a strike.
He said the management at

crews with women but paid
them less than the male scale
and workers objected. The wom
en were released and the' mill
announced plans to change to a
one 10-hour shift operation.
War labor board spokesmen
in Portland were hopeful the
dispute could be settled speed,
ily since the mill is one of
those rare operations which has
an ample stock of logs. WLB

TIMELY ACTION FITS
HOLLYWOOD, July 1 (JO
Latest American success in the

Navy Secretary Frank Knox.
"The war lords of Tokyo
know not where or when the
next blow will fall," he told a
war bond rally here last night.
Then, pausing momentarily
while a smile spread across his
face, he deviated briefly from
his speech v to add:
"Tojo found that out this
morning. Just before I took the
rostrum I was informed that
other enemy-held islands have
just been occupied by the navy
and marines."
(Word had just been flashed
that the Trobriand, Woodlark,
Rendova and New Georgia Is
land groups had been invaded
by forces under Gen. Douglas
MacArthur.)

WASHINGTON, July J ()
Secretary of State Hull said to
day the United States navy has

conference whether the govern

Georges Robert, French high
commissioner on the island, a
request for the dispatch of an
American envoy to Martinique
to fix the terms for a change
of French authority there. Such
a step could lead to alignment

allies.
He replied that the navy had
received a dispatch from Mar

was being given appropriate con
