Americans Beat Off Enemys Attacks On Pacific Front
Americans and Allies continued pressure in the Solomons and New Guinea as Japanese defenses stiffened.

Near Koli Point reinforcements landed for a Japanese concentration, while air cover dominated and further attacks were expected hourly. A fierce New Guinea clash west of the Solomons raged about 36 miles south of Bula as Japanese ground troops countered.

Washington officials across the Senate military affairs committee discussed manpower policy as World War II intensifies. Chairman Reynolds said enactment of national manpower control is unlikely until next year, with some hoping for executive orders or voluntary measures this year.
