DAILY CAPITAL 1 -NEWS, 'JEFFERSOKI CITY, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBERS 1942 Grive Threat To Americans in Islands (Continued, from page 1) there." American submarines roaming the far Pacific, Knox said, are contributing a large share to the teeaking down of enemy supply lines. "I'm particularly proud of the subs," KnoX'toldJhis press'confer- ence." They have done a perfectly amazing and outstanding job." The most recent report on submarine' are out for treeks at a time with radio si- destruction of seven ships and damage to three others. Those figures, announced yesterday brought to 133 the number of Japanese damaged or sunk by American submarines. 77 iap Vessel Sunk Officinal reports show that 77 Japanese vessels, have been, stink, possibly sunk or severely damaged in the Solomon area. The two cruisers and one' destroyer figuring in Ghormley's suplemental report were not included in the official list since they were not listed in communiques.

Aircraft losses of the enemy have been heavy. Officially, the navy has reported the destruction of 529 Japanese planes since the Solomons-battle started. Against those figures the American losses, which Elmer Davis, director of the of ''War Information, and Knox said are being announced as quickly as received, have totaled 16 war- craft sunk in the" Solomons. "If there has been any error," Davis and Knox said in a joint statement," it has been in the direction of telling the enemy of the loss of a ship which may possibly not have known- to have been more than heavily but not in the 1 direction of withholding news from the American people."

Their major objective, of course, was Ordnhonikidze and the Georgian highway, now behind the German lines, is about 60 air miles from Ord- zhonikidze, but actually close to 100 miles the winding mpun- tain roads.

The ans-wer-to the first of these questions is still uncertain.

But to the two final queries, synthetic tires and engine power, Phillips Petroleum Company can suggest affirmative replies. Phillips is prepared for the coming great improvements in personal transportation, because long before Pearl Harbor, Phillips scientists in the superbly equipped Phillips Laboratories Building Phill-up with Phillips were engaged in never-ending study, research, experiment, exploring the limitless possibilities petroleum chemistry. Slowly but surely, there emerged new processes, new products, new benefits. Even before the war, much of this purposeful knowledge was channeled into the national defense effort. Now, ail of it has been "enlisted" for the duration.

Phillips vast resources of raw Phillips knowledge have made the company one of the largest suppliers of 100 octane aviation gasoline to the Army Air Corps, the Navy, and the United Nations' air forces; have made the company an important participant in theU. synthetic rubber program.
