(UP) A heavily out gunned and outnumbered American destroyer force blasted three and probably four Japanese warships in a furious night action in the cen tral Solomons and sent the rest of a big enemy evacuation fleet limp ing northward in retreat, it was dis closed today. Two or three more cf the nine enemy warships engaged, mostly destroyers, were damaged badly against 'moderate" but unannounc ed losses to the American flotilla. Aerial reconnaissance revealed the new Japanese attempt to evacuate garrisons from the central Solomons, and the American destroyers took up their battle stations 15 miles north of Vella Lavella island shortly be fore midnight Wednesday. Enemy scout planes circled overhead, radio ing their position to' the oncoming armada. Both sides moved in quickly to the attack, and within a few min utes a Japanese light cruiser or des troyer leader blew up and sank. Its flaming wreckage illuminated the battle area. Two enemy destroyers followed it down and a third . was hit so badly that it was believed to have sunk. Two or three other destroyers, hit repeatedl3 by American gunfire, ran for home, along with two still un damaged warships and the entire convoy. The battle lasted '"only a very few minutes," a spokesman at Ad miral William F. Ilalsey's South Pacific headquarters said. "Our attack was so vicious," an other navy spokesman said, "that what was left of the enemy force believed comprised of nine warships, mostly destroyers fled. And I mean jfled." Headquarters of the third am phibious force announced later that Liberator bombers attacked the bat tered remnants of the enemy armada, scoring possible hits. Pilots' reports tended to confirm the belief that the fourth Japanese warship was actually sunk. At. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's southwest. Pacific headquarters it was indicated that the enemy fleet was enroute to Kolombangara in an attempt to evacuae the remnants of the Japanese troops from that is land. Ilalsey's spokesman suggested, however, that the move was aimed at Vella Lavella. where 300 to 700 Japanese soldiers are slowly being wiped out by American troops. The American destroyer force was commended by Capt. Frank Robin son Walker, 44, of Alabama, a vet- ! cran destroyer skipper. Two destroyer groups had been dispatched to meet the Japanese force, but only Walker's small unit had reached the scene when the en emy appeared. Without waiting for support, Walker sent his destroyers racing into action, engaging" all nine - Jap anese warships with gunfire and tor pedoes. : . -' '.;"".." His bold action was commended by Halsey in a message to the vic torious destroyer unit: "Our hats are off in pride , for your gallant and determined action. God bless all of you."

Let's Win the Peace, Too Buy War Bonds ?. . and youll always have tobacco in jour old tobacco box TT7HEN I was a kid my v father used to sing a song that ended up with this refrain: . "Oh, save up your money and put it in year box, And youH always ha?e tobacco in your old tobacco box." Well, the words stuck with rr.e, but I guess the moral didn't. Ko matter how hard I tried ... I never seemed to be able to save up a red cent. But it's all different now! About 10 months ago, I started buying War Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan. Figured it was the least I could do for Uncle Sam. And that's the only way I thought about it . . . until just recently. Now, all of a sudden, I've discovered that for the first time in the history of Yours Truly I'm saving dough. Every month, rain - cr - shine, hell-or-high-water I'm sticking away a War Bond, a Bond that'll bring me back $4.00 for every $3.00 I put in. Those Bonds are beginning to mount up now. And I'm going to keep them mounting up. For I've discovered what a swell feeling it is to be sav ing ... on a plan that's regular as clockwork and twice as sure. So I'm singing father's song ... a bttle different. "Oh, iare up your War Bonds an 1 put them in your box, And youU always Lave tobacco in your old tobacco box."
