It said the bombing caused
no damage.
One United States plane was
said to have been downed but it
was not identified as fighter or

The B-25's are the North Amer-

They can fly at better than 350

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—f/P)
—American and Japanese war-
ships boiled through the south-
west Facific in a titanic slug-
ging match lor control of the
bomb scarred Guadalcanal air-
field today while on the island
itself land forces were locked
in mortal combat.
Latest reports from the battle
?c ne showed action was contin-
uing at a furious pace over a
wide area and both President
Roosevelt arid Secretary of the
Navy Knox said the results were
not yet clear.
Two Japanese destroyers have
been sunk, last night's navy com-
munique reported, one enemy
battleship has been hit, a cruiser
badly damaged and a destroyer
hurt.
In the epic land battle on the
north shore of Guadalcanal Jap-
anese forces broke through the
American south flank during the
night of Oct. 25-26 but were
thrown back by army troops who
regained their temporarily lost
positions.
On the west flank, held by
marines against a smashing se-
ries of attacks that have been
under way since last Friday,
the navy reported the enemy
was forced to give ground in
"heavy fighting."
At the Americans’ backs was
the prized airfield, built bv the
Japanese and captured by the
marines last August, from which
United States bombers have been
able to hammer at enemy ship-
P'ug for miles around. In Jap-
ane.c hands, the field could be
used as a springboard for an of-
fensive against Australia.
Last night's communique told
' navy and marine corps dive
bombers, apparently dispatched
from this same field, flying to
th aid of two United States
minesweepers which were set
in i n by theree enemy destroyers
Two of tlie destroyers were sunk.
