Washington, June 80.—The announced today that. American forces have in the b first sljjm tf a tion against Japanese positions in the south Pacific. The Navy communique No. 4281 said: "Sooth Pacific; "1. On Jane 30during the early morning, United States forces landed on Rendova island, Hnv Georgia group. No details have been received." The Japanese have had installations on the island and the landing- either if accomplished by oped into fightipg shortly afterward. The strategic intent of the American move except for its generally I offensive nature in advancing the American positions in the SoloiNpt. 110 miles northwest of the outpost hi the Russell Islands, was not folly apparent. Rendova's most obvious military] characteristic is that It lies only! about five miles south of where the Japanese late last year developed an air base. However, at the time the base waa nearing completion it was brought under heavy Ameri larly assaulted from the ail then so that Navy. spofcseaun have] recently repotted it was virtually) useless to the enemy. The American aim could be to take Munda for further Allied operations sginat either Bougainville, the mam enemy-held island in the northwestern' Solomons, or ajptinsi Rabaul which liee still further to the west Another possibility speculated onl hen was that the move against Rendova may have been of a screening I or diversionary nature to obscure] mote important thrusts elsewhere. Still another powibility is that the high command might be tatting the extent of Japanese will to resist in the Solomons area. The Japaneee fought furiously and loet heavily in thafr efforts te recapture Guadalcanal. Any American advance which forced them to undertake similar defensive and costly action would be profitable from the American point; of view. This is the second advance in the I belt Tuesday, Jnly 27 and extending! to the openng of the old belt Monday,] September 20. Other dates fixed dsticn i belt Thursday, August 6, Eastern Carolina belt Tuisdoy, AogWt 24, Middle belt Monday, September 13.
