Japs Fail On Guadalcanal
LONDON, October 30. Fighting on Guadalcanal, in the Solomons, has slackened owing to the failure of the Japanese to breach the American defences. Tonight Washington reports only small skirmishes. Twelve light Japanese tanks have been destroyed on Guadalcanal in the last week. American planes have kept up their attacks on the enemy ■ west of the airfield. Enemy bombers' made an early morning attack on the American positions, but all the bombs fell in the water. Further north, American aircraft from Guadalcanal destroyed two enemy seaplanes in a daylight attack on Rekata Bay. Last night American motor torpedo-boats scored a hit on and stopped a destroyer which was thought to be engaged in supplying the troops on Guadalcanal.
