PAGE TWO re LANDINGS IDE ON NEW GEORGIA ISLE (Continued From Page One) Ique disclosed. After American warships In the Kula gulf had shelled Munda's supply base at Bairoko anchorage before dawn Monday, the troops swarmed ashore at Rice anchorage, four miles northeast of Bairoko. That landing point is above Munda. Monday night, other American forces stormed ashore at Zanana, six miles east of Munda. They fanned out in patrols and lat est reports were that some of them were fighting the Japanese along the Barike river. Naval Contact It was before dawn the fol lowing morning that American warships made contact in the Kula gulf above the scene of the latest landing operations with a Japanese cruiser-destroyer force. The surprised ' enemy was struck swift and telling blows by the guns of our warships, to day's communique said. "In the first phase of the en gagement, four or five hostile destroyers were struck by smash ing broadsides that within five minutes destroyed or set afire the entire group," it related. Cruisers Ablaae "Three or possibly four enemy tight cruisers were then taken under fire. All were either sunk or afire within IS minutes. One was beached." Later while the Cruiser He lena's survivors were being res cued, "our destroyers intercept ed and sank two of three enemy ships attempting to escape from the gulf and damaged the third." Japs Biggar (The dispatch from Admiral Halsey's headquarters said Am erican warships trapped a num erically superior enemy force in the narrow gulf at close range and forced him to fight) Previously General Mac Arthur's headquarters had listed the enemy's Kula gulf losses as six ships probably sunk and four damaged.

Situation Sam Legislators said adoption of the house bill would leave the administration's subsidy pro gram in exactly the same sit uation it now is, with subsidies being provided for meats and butter roll backs without speci fic congressional authority for such action. The administration contends the price control act authorizes such payments, but opponents have charged they are "illegal." Conferees said the decision may mean a postponement of the congressional wrangle over the subsidy-roll back program until the lawmakers return from a summer vacation in mid-Sep tember. If the senate agrees to recede from its stand and there were indications it would Barkley said it probably would be possible to begin a summer recess before nightfall. . .

July 8 W Rov ing pickets accompanied by women ranged the rolling plains of southwestern Pennsylvania's coal fields today helping close more than a dozen steel com pany-owned "captive" mines whose output is vitally needed to keep the steel mills running The new flarcup, which kept about 10.000 workers idle, stent' med from what John P. Busa rello, president of the Pittsburgh district 8 of the United Mine Workers, termed an "outlaw gathering of outlaw miners" at Brownsville, Pa., as all of the na tion's other miners were ending a walkout that began June 20, Busarello and other district union leaders said an appeal had been made to Allyn K. Renwick, district representative of Secre tary Harold L. Ickes, govern' ment administrator of the mines, for aid in suppressing the insur gent movement. "Any action will have to be In augurated in a move by Wash ington," stated a spokesman for the office of U. S. Attorney Charles F. Uhl. when asked about the possibility of enforce ment of the Connally-Smith anti strike act. Speakers at the Brownsville meeting on Tuesday called for "organized picketing" to support their "no contract - no work stand.

Chair man Cannon (D-Mo.) of the house appropriations committee reported he had an "understand ing" with the senate managers of the bill that they would re cede if the house stood firm. As this bill passed the senate it would require confirmation of personnel paid $4500 a year or more. President Roosevelt called the legislation a "tragic mistake" and the house took a decided stand against it on several occa sions. Clear Decks Anxious though to clear the decks and quit for the summer, the legislators started a move ment to compromise the differ ences, retaining the principal ex pounded by Senator McKellar (D-Tenn.). Rep. Taber (RN.YJ who fought the original plan, drew up an amendment to the $2,911, 697,224 war agencies' appropri ation. His idea would require confirmation of only newly-hired war agency workers earning $5300 a year or more. Those on the payroll before July 1 would be left undisturbed. Those hired since then and until November 1 would keep their jobs but their names would be submitted, along with any additional ap pointments, to the senate for confirmation henceforth. The new approach was hit on at a meeting of house and sen ate conferees last night. "Catch-All" BUI Acceptance of the compromise by the two houses would send the big appropriations measure to the White House. Senate conferees gave In to house pressure in signing a re port designed to. clear the way for passage of the $253,000,000 "catch-all" second deficiency ap propriations bill. The report struck out a sen ate amendment tieaigned to re vive the federal crop insurance corporation with its insurance program on wheat and cotton crops, and an $8,000,000 appro priations to finance completion of construction of airports in 29 cities left partly-finished when the works projects administra tion folded up. . Passage of the third remain ing appropriations bill a $1. 137.167.010 measure carrying funds for the labor department and federal security agency awaited the outcome of action on the war agencies bill. It con tains a provision, requiring con firmation of higher-salaried em ployes of the war manpower commission (WMQ. Senator Mc Carran, (D-Nev.), in charge of this bill, said he would be guided by action on the Taber proposal.
