"It is still a bitter, tough fight," he told his press conference. "They <the Japanese) have a fleet of formidable proportions left. We haven't any doubt they'll come back." Knox's report of sinking two more enemy cruisers was based on late information from Vice-Admiral Robert L. Ghormley. now back from his former command as chief of naval operations in the South Pacific. Ghormley's account of the Bat- tle of Savo Island the night of Oct, 11-12. Knox said, listed five enemy destroyers and three cruis- ers as sunk. (This engagement was described at Pearl Harbor today by Capt. Ernest G. Small as "a hell of a melee" which completely sur- prised the enemy. (Small was not as positive as Ghormley as to the results, saying "we sank one heavy cruiser and believe we got two others and one light cruiser, and we know we sank one destroyer and probably four others." (After the fight. Small said.' the battle area "became'just' a field of fuming ships.") \ The Navy communique on that (engagement had reported only one enemy e&iiser sunk, plus four destroyers and a transport. Ghormley's report thus added two cruisers, and one destroyer to the toll taken of the enemy. Knox said the additional dam- age reported by Ghormley was an example of ,"the ultra conserva- tism" of the Navy in reporting damage to the enemy. Knox declared he was "particu- larly proud" of the Navy's sub- marines, saying that the submar- ine service generally had "done a particularly amazing and out- standing job. He added that he believed the United States had "developed the best type of submarine afloat" and said that their successful offensive action, "justifies that belief. Asked about the new assign- ment to be given Admiral Ghormley, who has been suc- ceeded by Viee-Admiral William F. Halsey, Knox said he had told Ghormley that he should get a good rest because he had "been under terrific strain out there.*' An American drive to squeeze the Japanese out of Guadalcanal appeared under way today as Marines, supported by a tempes- tuous aerial assault, pressed the enemy farther ajvay from the island's hotly-contested airfield. A Japanese retreat, announced by the Navy yesterday, carried the Nipponese back as much as two miles in one sector while Flying Fortresses, dive bombers and American fighter planes blasted and strafed enemy positions throughout the area. Thus within a week, the for- tunes of war had changed the threat of a gathering Japanese naval and land offensive in the southwestern Pacific to strengthen American domination over the Solomon Islands prize.

G SouthwoH, 1 ' re Washingon — (AP) — To President Roosevelt, who has dominated American politics for a decade, today's election brings the first voter reaction to con- duct of the war and, to a degree, a new check-up on his national popularity. As commander-in-chief of the armed forces and as President of a people united against the Axis enemy, Mr. Roosevelt can claim the unwavering support of every loyal citizen, but he also is cast in anotner character. He is the political leader of a government compelled by war to up- root the normal way of life and inflict the bruises of a war economy. In this role Mr. Roosevelt can- not be wholly separated from the party label on Congressional bal- lots cast today. If the voters in any appreciable numbers decide to re- place Democrats with members of another party, a share of the dis- satisfaction thus expressed prob- ably would thread back to the na- tional party leadership. In an off-year "election, when the Presidential office is not at stake, the voter who doesn't like the way things are going usually takes it out on his Senator and Represen- tative. State officers fall victim too if the reaction grows to a strong national trend. Finding expression in some form today will be the sentiment of voters toward gasoline ration- ing and price-fixing, toward wage stabilization and farm prices, toward sugar and coffee short- ages, the draft and the higher cost of living.

Washington— (AP)—The sinking of two additional Jap­anese cruisers in the South Pacific was reported today by Navy Secretary Frank Knox who coupled with the news an admonition against "growing too optimistic" about the Sol­omons campaign.

"I t is still a bitter, tough fight," he told his press conference. "They <the Japanese) have a fleet of formidable proport ions left. W e haven ' t any doubt they'll come back."

Knox's report of s inking two more enemy cruisers was based on late information from Vice-Admiral Robert L. Ghormley. now back from his former command as chief of naval operations in the South Pacific.

Ghormley's account of the Bat­tle of Savo Island the night of Oct, 11-12. Knox said, listed five enemy destroyers and three cruis­ers as sunk.

(This engagement was described at Pear l Harbor today by Capt. E rnes t G. Small a s "a hell of a melee" which completely sur­prised the enemy.

(Small was not a s positive as Ghormley as to the results, saying "we sank one heavy cruiser and believe we got two others and one light cruiser, a n d we know we sank one destroyer and probably four others."

(After the fight. Small said.' the batt le area "became ' jus t ' a field of f u m i n g ships.") \

The Navy communique on tha t (engagement had reported only one enemy e&iiser sunk, plus four destroyers and a t ranspor t . Ghormley's report thus added two cruisers, and one destroyer to the toll t aken of the enemy.

Knox said the additional dam­age reported by Ghormley was an example of ,"the u l t ra conserva­t ism" of the Navy in reporting damage to the enemy.

Knox declared he was "particu­larly proud" of the Navy's sub­marines, saying t h a t the submar­ine service generally had "done a part icular ly amazing and out­s tanding job.

He added t h a t he believed the United States had "developed the best type of submarine afloat" and said t h a t their successful offensive action, "justifies tha t belief.

Asked about the new assign­ment to be given Admiral Ghormley, who has been suc­ceeded by Viee-Admiral William F . Halsey, Knox said he had told Ghormley tha t he should get a good rest because he had "been under terrific s t ra in out there.*'

An American drive to squeeze the Japanese out of Guadalcanal appeared under way today as Marines, supported by a tempes­tuous aerial assault, pressed the enemy far ther ajvay from the island's hotly-contested airfield.

A Japanese retreat , announced by the Navy yesterday, carr ied the Nipponese back a s much a s two miles in one sector while Flying Fortresses, dive bombers and American fighter planes blasted and strafed e n e m y positions throughout the area.

Thus within a week, the for­tunes of war had changed the threa t of a gather ing Japanese naval and land offensive in the southwestern Pacific to s t rengthen American domination over the Solomon I s l a n d s prize.

Washingon — (AP) — To President Roosevelt, who has dominated American politics for a decade, today's election brings the first voter reaction to con­duct of the war and, to a degree, a new check-up on his national popularity.

As commander-in-chief of the armed forces and as President of a people united against the Axis enemy, Mr. Roosevelt can claim the unwavering support of every loyal citizen, but he also is cast in anotner character. He is the political leader of a government compelled by war to up­root the normal way of life and inflict the bruises of a war economy.

In this role Mr. Roosevelt can­not be wholly separated from the par ty label on Congressional bal­lots cast today. If the voters in any appreciable numbers decide to re­place Democra ts with members of another party, a share of the dis­satisfaction thus expressed prob­ably would th read back to the na­tional par ty leadership.

In an off-year "election, when the President ia l office is not a t stake, the voter who doesn't like the way things are going usually takes it out on his Senator and Represen­tative. State officers fall victim too if the reaction grows to a strong national trend.

F ind ing expression in some form today will be the sent iment of voters toward gasoline ration­ing and price-fixing, toward wage stabilization and farm prices, toward sugar and coffee short­ages, t he draft a n d the higher cost of living.

Beginning on carbon and alloy steel, copper and aluminum first, the government will measure the available amounts and then assign necessary portions for use of the army, navy, civilian, allied nat ions and otherc.

The purpose, Nelson told a press conference, is to use these scarce mater ia ls "where they will make the max imum impact on the enemy."
