Authorities said the Kula gulf battle was not considered a major naval engagement, but that it was one of the most successful ever fought by the U. 8S. navy in view of the destruction or damaging of the entire enemy force. The Japanese presumably were supplying or reinforcing the enemy at Vila or Munda, on New Georgia island, when surprised by the American warships.

The boys were dismissed on their | own recognizance in juvenile court { yesterday, pending a further investi- | gation of the alleged incident, The case is the outgrowth of De- | tective Sgt.

It was a form affidavit and gave no specific details of what the youth was wanted for.
Police Charge Resistance
The officers claim they encountered resistance from Robert and that his brother interferred. They called for reinforcements and two sergeants with other officers responded, making a total of nine officers on the arrest. On Tuesday, Detective Conway, who claimed he had been kicked, filed another affidavit against Robert, charging him with resisting and interferring. No affidavit has been filed against Willis, Because of the boys’ ages, they were turned over to juvenile court yesterday. Police claim that the elder boy has been arrested 12 times and the later four or five.

REPORT GERMANS CLEARING COASTS
(Continued from Page One)
Africa said the Germans had ordered the evacuation of a number of areas on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts because they were “urgently threatened.” As the day for the assault against Europe appears to be coming closer, waves of allied bombers swept over | to pulverize the Gerbini airfield on Sicily and pile wreckage on Mills, ! Villacidro and Pabillionis airfields | on Sardinia. Fighter opposition yesterday continued on a reduced scale and of the few score axis planes seen, allied gunners shot down 10 and dispersed the others.
Five Planes Lost
Five allied planes were lost. Antiaircraft fire, apparently the chief weapon left to the enemy defenders of the stepping stones toward the continent, ranged from moderate to intense, Flying Fortresses, Marauders and Mitchells concentrated on Sicily. The Sardinia raids were carried out by R. A, F. Wellingtons, Fighterbombers patrolled Sicily and P-40 Warhawks hit at railroads, highways and ammunition dumps through western Sicily.
LONDON, July 2 (U. P.).—Reliable air observers believe that allied and axis air forces were being massed for a showdown battle for control of the air over the Mediterranean. After some weeks of hesitation, the axis apparently had decided to accept the challenge and may be committing substantial forces to

the defense of Italy and the Italian lands. Air observers saw evidence of this in the increased air opposition encountered by allied North African forces. As many as 100 fighters at one time were being thrown into the air to try to break up allied bomber formations. Nazi Field Marshal ‘Albert Kasselring, previously commander of Luftwaffe air fleet number two, was believed to have assumed supreme command of all axis operations in the Mediterranean.
