A sud den turn for the worse in. the Solomon Islands was revealed to night by the Navy Department, which said Japanese warships bombarded the American-held airfield and shore Installations Guadalcanal and landed more re inforcements on that key island. Enemy troops were landed this morning oil the north coast of Guadalcanal to the westward -of positions held by United States Marines, a communique said.

Ominously or not, there was no mention of resistance by Am erican air or sea forces, nor was there any mention of the dam age to the vital airfield there. This startling turn in the bat tle of the Solomons came 24 hours after the Navy revealed that an American task force had smash ed a similar invasion attempt Sunday night during a fierce 30 minute battle that cost the ene my one heavy cruiser four- -des troyers and one transport sunk.

As a possible clue to the topic 1 of discussion between Heinrlch Himmler and II Duce. reports which filtered out of the Axis camp indicated strongly that Ger many has grown increasingly suspicious of her junior partner's attitude toward the United States. Reported among the tinders that fed the flames of this dis trust were: 1 ? Italy's permission for the landing of Myron C.
