Inflict Heavy Damaged On Japs In Their Attempt to Retake Islands Washington. Aug. *-26. ? Hard- j hitting American airmen have damaged six more Japanese war ships in the big. new battle for the Solomons, and have forced sqme units of the attacking ene my armada to withdraw, the Navy revealed today in a commu nique which said results of the fight thus fttr "are encouraging." The latest action raised to at least 13 the number of Japansej vessels damaged since Sunday,! when the enemy launched a gi gantic air-sea offensive in a des perate bid to recapture islands wrested from them earlier in the month by United States Marines. { Twelve more Japanese planes have been shot down, bringing to at least 33 the total of enemy, planes bagged since round No. 2 of the latest Solomons struggle started. AmeiMcjn farces have lost a to tal of only four planes. There has been no mention of Ameri can ship losses. The Navy said it is "still too early to estimate the outcome of the battle" ? perhaps the decisive struggle for the Solomons aud ultimate domination of the South west Pacific. Holding Positions Rut, the communique added,] reports thus (ar reveal that Am-j erlcan forces at Guadalcanal "are holding their positions In the face of strong enemy thrusts and In each action have Inflicted heavy damage on the attacking [Japanese forces." Then It Injected this optimistic phrase: _ ' w "The results to date, of thr battle for the retention of <Tur foothold In the southeastern Sol omons are encouraging." This was perhaps.. significant, since the Navy has not been In the habit of mdking optimistic statements jrlille a battle was In progress*/ (London dispatches from Syd ney. Australia, said reports from >fie vast air-sea battle "show very clearly that Japan has finally lost naval supremacy in the South west Pacific." T.he Navy commu nique made no such claims.) Latest victims of American air power ? dive Bombers, torpedo planes, bombers and fighters ? were two destroyers and four uni dentified vessels. Five of these, including one destroyer, were left burning. The Navy yesterday had re ported at least seven other ships damaged ? two aircraft carriers, a battleship, three or more cruis ers and one transport. The transport, hit in the flrst phase of the battle, subsequently was abandoned "as the enemy force withdrew." The size of the retreating Japa nese force was not disclosed, but It was revealed to have consisted of transports, cruisers and des troyers which approached Guad alcanal from the northward on August 24 (Washington date) and "was attacked by United States Marine and Naval aircraft based at Guadalcanal." n BILL BOYCE LEADS IN PLAY FOB JOHNSON TROPHY The lorlng cup offered each year by Dr. Harry H.

' Patronize TIMES Advertisers AVERAGE $37 A HUNDRED Prices Comparable to 1919 ..Paid; Quality Rated Infe rior; Sales Heavy (News-Observer) v A war-born demand and a de pression-born supply came to gether on Eastern Carolina to bacco markets Tuesday and sent prices for the gojden weed splral ing upward to a $37 per hund red average. ? ' Bulging pocKets ana iaughing faces gave emphasis to the fact that not since 1919 ? the golden moment in the long life of the tobacco grower ? has returns from this section's biggest crop been so great. V Some 10.000,000 pounds went under the auctioneer's hammer on the 14 markets of the Eastern Bright Belt yesterday, and the results, at least $10 higher than| last year, were highly pleasing to the several thousand farmers ! who brought their offerings to' .town. ' (Quality Inferior Anything that came from a- to bacco barn was the target "for bid. and prices ranged, from five! cents to 50 a pounce-Quality was spotted, and definitely inferior to' opening day's/Offerings a year jigo. The ^jMliazing part to grow ers and Warehousemen were the prices tiaid for nondescript leaf ? h>*t lash of a few years, back fnat would have gone into the1 stables or onto the fields for fer-| tilizer. Lugs and primings constituted the bulk of the top-heavy offer ings. with a sprinkling of cutters and quality grade leaf appearing at intervals on the warehouse floors. On some of the markets , the quality was considered fairly; rood. but practically every auc tion center had a great deal of common leaf. Dry weather that lasted too long in most sections resulted in poor quality tobacco. Such con ditions appTured to exist in prac tically every section. Rut there was little complaint from the growers. They had not seen snch prices since the halycon days of 23 years ago. and their only comment was: "If we only had last year's quality with this year's prices." . All tirades t'p The greatest price increase was tor low quality grades, with all grades being up front $6 to $10 per hundred over last year. The bulk of the offerings sold in the $33 to $46 per hundred pounds range, with the top prices paid In the neighborhood of 46, 47 and 48 rents a pound. In only a few cases were any tags turned. Some of the mark ets reported no rejection of bids, while others said that at the most only or 12 tags were turned during the day's sales. Comments from fanners as they walked out of the warehous es with three-flgnre checks var ied according to the Individual. The more cautious remarked that their tobacco sold "tolably good," and the optimist beamed his "never seen better" on all who would listen. War Dcmuml (ireat ? Another war had come to Eas tern Carolina yesterday, but the influence of the world struggle was the accent on demand for to bacco ? a demand that is sure to set an all-time high In the amount of money paid for this section's crop. For while the price of the weed may fluctuate from day to day, the war has been a stimulant for the demand. It was the same story back In World War 1. The long days of; fighting brought increased con sumption of America's native plant. Women began to smoke and when the war was over and 19X9 rolled around, an unprece-| dented average of 949.15 per hundred was recorded. The Federal-8tate Market News! Service reported an increase of, from >6 to 110 on' all grades. Av erage prices on a limited number of U.
