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.

ion as to the advisability of such
a move, cast an even vote for
and against the project, and it
took the vote of Commander
Fred LaForge to swing the loan
of the equipment over to the
side of the bombardment squad
ron. 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.

Jones shot back that "the das

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

PRESIDENT ON
CCC MEASURE
(Continued From Page One)
the CCC-extension legislation he
vetoed.
"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

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.
