Later the same group of Corsairs sighted and attacked ten enemy bombers, escorted by 20 Zeros, 95 miles northwest of Lunga Point, on Guadalcanal Island. During the aerial combat which followed five Zeros were shot down. Two U.S. planes failed to return.

British refuse to let Phillips talk to Gandhi
U.S. envoy’s request for meeting with Nehru also declined
New Delhi, India –
William Phillips, President Roosevelt’s personal envoy to India, revealed today on the eve of his departure for the United States that he had sought vainly to get official permission to confer with Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, interned nationalist leaders.
Mr. Phillips said:
I applied to the appropriate authorities for permission to talk to Gandhi and Nehru and was told that they were unable to grant the necessary facilities.
Mr. Phillips made his statement a few hours after he had returned from a three-day tiger shooting expedition in northeastern India with the Viceroy, the Marquess of Linlithgow. The President’s envoy failed to get a tiger but he did hold long private conversations with the Viceroy.
When Mr. Phillips arrived here Jan. 8, he said at once that he hoped to see representatives of all political parties in order that he might make as nearly complete a study as possible and report to the President.
Mr. Phillips also, during his stay, worked on the coordinating of the many American civilian activities in India.
British authorities, even in his case, apparently adhered to their determination to keep such nationalists as Gandhi and Nehru out of circulation at their places of internment.
The government holds that Gandhi was personally responsible for many of the disorders of last August, after the nationalist rejection of an offer of home rule after the war.
