HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON July 2, 194S PAGE TWO T (Continued From Page One) Solomoni fronts. From that ttatement, it was assumed here that all operations were proceed . Ing satisfactorily and according to plan. Japs Concerned The Japanese attested concern for this new menace posed not only at Muncia but at air bases in the northern Solomons and at Rabaul, New Britain, by pouring medium bombers, dive bombers, torpedo planes and fighters at the landing parties and at allied shipping. . "Latest advices do not Indi cate the total number involved in the action but 101 enemy planes were destroyed in the air combat and by anti-aircraft fire," the communique said. "Seventeen of our planes are missing." Planet Downed (Today Admiral William F. Halsey's South Pacific head quarters announced that 123 Japanese planes were shot down over the New Georgia islands Wednesday and Thursday. Twenty-five American planes and 15 pilots were lost.) (Previous announcement had been made by the navy at Wash ington that the counterattacking Japanese planes totalled 101 of which 65 were listed as downed. This announcement likewise ac knowledged loss of 17 allied planes as well as the sinking of combined enemy plane and sub marine action of the 7712 ton transport McCawlcy after its troops had been put ashore.) Casualties Light Allied casualties to date in the Solomons operations were said by a spokesman for General Mac- Arthur to be light. In heavy support of the Solo mons operations, allied naval units and planes blasted the en emy air bases at Vila and Mun dat while other surface craft moved even further up the Sol omon chain to hit the Japanese in the balance-Faisi area. (Faisi is a settlement in the Shortland islands some 30 miles southeast across Bougainville strait from the major Japanese base of Buin on the southern tip of Bougainville island. Available maps do not show balance, but it may be presumed to be in the same neighborhood.) - On New Guinea near Sala maua, fighting was reported without a clear indication of the progress. American forces which landed at Nassau bay, 12 miles down the coast from Salamaua, after being tossed about in the treacherous reefs so completely surprised the enemy that they did not lose a man in getting ashore, MacArthur's spokesman said. -. Australian patrols in the Sala maua area were reported to be seeking a junction from a point inland with the Americans on the beach. Twelve miles south of Salamaua in the inland Mubo area, Australian patrols sought out enemy forces and succeeded in killing 26 as well as wound-1 ing many others. Soroptimist, BPW Clubs Open July Bond Drive (Continued From Page One) will auction prizes contributed by merchants.

First equipment considered for such a loan at the suggestion of Captain Neil F. Black, for merly of this city and now group surgeon at Wendover, was that of the senior Legion group which won nationwide recognition when it walked off with drum corps honors in contests held throughout the coast area. OWAC Letter A letter, was presented to the Legion last night, signed by the Oregon Woman's Ambulance corps, local unit, asking that if any equipment was to be loaned they be given first chance. There was no action taken, but this matter will be brought before the Legion at a regular session next Tuesday night. Captain Black, recent visitor here, suggested that the equip ment be loaned as a "morale lifter," and that the glory to be won by the drums and bugles, as they traveled over the world with the bombardment squad ron, would enhance, the value from a legendary standpoint and add flavor to the instruments when they were returned to the local post and hung on the vet erans' walls. Black Letter Said Captain Black in a letter to the Herald and News: "Have you ever noticed how a change comes over marching men when the band starts play ing? "Of course instruments might be lost or destroyed just as sol diers are in a war, but that's a chance that would have to be taken. I should appreciate any ideas which you have as Jo how we might obtain musical instru ments, especially trumpets and drums, since they are lighter and could be carried more easily by plane." (The plan calls for transportation of the equipment along with the bomber crews.) - Plan Presentation ' L. L. Lombard, first vice pres ident of the Legion, has contact ed Captain Black who, in turn, will obtain information from his commanding officer in regard to the mission of two bombers with full crews, arriving here to take over the equipment. It is possi ble that the bombers will be able to take part in the Fourth of July celebration here. Enters NROTC Roland Hare, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. W.

JESSE JONES ES' FEUD INQUIRY (Continued From Page One) war materials by the board of economic warfare, headed by Wallace. Jones shot back that "the das tardly charge" was untrue. The two were called together by James F. Byrnes, war mobil ization chief whose job is unity on the home front, bvit has failed to alleviate their differences. Questioned Jones was questioned brieflv about the quarrel when he ap peared before the rules commit tee on another matter. He told the committee an in vestigation of United States aid in development of the Canadian Shipshaw power and aluminum project would "disprove 99.9 per cen of the charges and innuen does" concerning the deal. Shipshaw Development The investigation of the Shh shaw development, under which metal reserves, an RFC agency, loaned the Aluminum Company of Canada $60,500,000 for the project, has been sought by Rep. Coffee (D-Wash.). He said he wanted to know why the money was loaned interest-free "when a vast number, of power projects in the United States were denied priorities." Jones, after saying an inquiry would disprove charges concern ing the loan but that he would "not resent" the inquiry, volun teered to "answer any questions members of the committee may ask," and offered to DreDare a chronological statement o n every step of aluminum procure ment.

"Nobody wants to destroy the Commodity Credit corporation," Steagall said. The legislators made a rush to put through the legislation, as the corporation's life ended at midnight June 30. January Extension The temporary extension would be to January 1, 1944. President Roosevelt denounc ed the bill sent him as "an infla tion bill" which "blacks out the program to reduce the cost of living." The final tally showed 228 votes to override, some 27 fewer than were necessary In view of the total vote of 382. Voting to sustain the veto were 134, First Victory The decision gave the admin istration its first major victory after a series of setbacks on its domestic policies. In vetoing the measure, Mr. Roosevelt called it "an inflation bill," which would set the sold ier, worker and unorganized consumer "at war with the farmer." The house refusal to send it to committee came on a roll call vote of 200 to 184. Start Work Anticipating that the veto would be upheld, administration leaders hurriedly set to work on an emergency bill to extend the life of the CCC until Janu ary 1, 1944, and to boost Its US UPHOLDS "TENNESSEE JOHNSON" With VAN HEFLIK borrowing power by tSQO,000,- 000. A roll call vote on sustaining or overriding the veto began Immediately after the tally on the question of sending it to committee was announced. Hop. Steagall (D-Ala.) said the new temporary bill under pre paration eliminated all contro versial Issues. Hamstring Measure In one of the most acid mes sages he evor transmitted to congress, the chief executive said that the measure was not one to continue the CCC but to "hamstring" it. "It places new and unwar ranted restrictions on the use of Its funds," he asserted, "and on the powers heretofore glvon to the administration to stabil ize the cost of living. These restrictions would prevent our giving to farmers the assistance they need in carrying out our new food production programs . . . They would make it Im possible for us to stop the rising cost of living. Japs Suffer Heavy Casualties in Yangtze Fighting CHUNGKING, .
