Japen’i shattered armies push
ed closer to the vital Burma oil
fields last night but the American
end Australian legions served no
tice with deetmctlve air raids
that the enemy shall not .#«
Ifhge V. 8. Bombers, prbteoted
by swift Anaeie fighters, smashed
relentlessly over the week-end
at Japanese bases on the outer
Islands and were credited last
night with destroying or serious
ly damaging et least 28 enemy
planes and spreading flaming ruin
among the invaders’ ships and
military establishments.
The raids were conducted over
a 2,400 mile arc extending from
Koepaog on Dutch Timor to Fa-
isl In the Solomon Islands but
the greatest destruction was
spread at Lae on the northeas
tern coast of New Guinea, and at
Rabaul on the northern coast of
New Britain
At least 12 of the Japanese
planes wei» destroyed at the cost
of only two Allied aircraft.
Rabaul —^the main Japanese
base for any invasion attempt
was raided both Friday and Sat
urday.
Wrecked On Ground
Eight Japanese bombers and
a fighter were d'sstroyed on the
ground Friday and other planes
were damaged in the attacks on
Saturday, three moored flying
boats were damaged by machine
gunfire and a P-type fighter was
chased away wounded in a steep
dive.
Buildings flamed so violently
lifter bomb hits ' that the fires
were seen fifty miles at sea. Ships
were bombed in the harbor and
enemy troops were strafed, but
the -results were not wholly visi
ble.
Banna Visited
Burma was the most critical
front periled by the brash and
buoyant Japanese, because It was
tho*e that the enemy threatened
the Ise* oriental pools of oil whlA
feed the Dnited Nations’ planes,
tanks and warships. jy
