Naval Contact
It was before dawn the fol

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

"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

ed and sank two of three enemy
ships attempting to escape from
the gulf and damaged the third."

They were mystified when

Suspicions of sabotage arose
when it was found that the

It was found, however, that
the flares were part of a ship

Senate Abandons

such payments.
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

which would hava given the
senate confirmatory powers
over future employes who re
ceive more than 3S00. 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
