Amerlcuti planes based on Guadal-
canal and Amei lean destroyer sprowl- j
ing its waters, thp Japanese have ■
landed more trodps on the Wand, the-
Navy reported Tuesday, this time to
the East of the’ embattled airfield
and it's defenses.
‘ The uew landing was made Mon-
day night after United States des-
troyers during the day had bom-
barded the foe's .positions west of the
American lines in support of attacks
■' by land. Earlier reinforcements of
the Japanese, have, been landed prin-
'* dpally on the western, part of the is-
land’* northern shore.
' This latest development, posing a
[grave threat to the American de-
fender* now in the middle of two
strengthened enemy forces, follow-
ed a warning by Secretary of the Na-
vy Frank Knox against false opti-
mism over the fighting for the Solo-
mon Islands and for control of South.
Pacific supply lines despite a “very
signal success” which he saw in the
initial phases.’’
Although the Japanese strength
was crippled in the long sea and air
battle off the Stewart Islands north-
east of Guadalcanal, Knox told a
press conference, the foe still hap a
fleet of formidable proportions and
“we haven't, any doubt that they Will
come back.’’.
’ Knog coupled -tils warning with an
announcement that an American task
force got two more Japanese cruisers
and one more destroyer than original-
ly reported in the night battle off
Savo Island in the Solomons Oct. 11
and 1?. The communique on that en-
gagement had listed one enemy crui-
ser, four destroyers and one trans-
port sunk-
' A revision of the damage done the
Japanese fleet in the Stewart Is-
lands engagement Oct. 26 also was
made in the communique which told
of the Japanese landing. United
States airmen damaged five cruisers
rather than three ,and one battleship
instead of two. along with the two
aircraft carriers originally listed.

Trial in Death
Case Asked
By Defendant
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 4. — Irwin Ka-
dens. the three-state crime Wave, in
court tor the first time, howled'down
his attorney Monday and demanded
trial on two death penalty charges
instead of such petty offenses as ,-ob-
bery and rape.
The court appointed attorney,
Charles Bellows, asked a continuance
of the charge of robbing a currency
exchange to allow time to find de-
fense witnesses. Whereupon Hadens,
wearing a dingy blue suit and open,
throa.t shirt, rose and stormed:
“I protest any continuance as a
cititen of the United States and as a
student Of law, I want my own law-
yer. I don’t want this guy. I never
heard of him and I didn’t hire him.”
Kadens waved a twisted roll of iri-
1 ♦
, dictments over his head, banged his
lifts on the rail before the bench and wm gjve & good exhibition during the
ahouted:
’Furthermrire; I don’t want to be
tried on these petty offenses. There
are two death penalty charges
which I demand to
stand trial. I want a capable law-
yr.”
Chief Justice John A. Sbarbard
of Criminal Court told the 33-year
old Army deserter- and ohe-time mo-
del husband, "You are to understand
that this man is your attorney. Mr,
Bellows is a highly capable lawyer
and you ate lucky to have him.’’
