Japanese Preparing
 For Smashing Attack
(Continued from Page D

1 clined any comment but indicated the omission should not be con- strued as a sign that communlca- tions with MacArthur have been disrupted.
 Macarthur for days has been limiting himself to terse bulletins Constant Japanese attacks make communications difficult and Mac. Arthur has been too busy fighting the enemy to indulge in long re- ports.
 Indications were that he will ba still buster in the near future-if he is not already fully occupied The Japanese were re- -concen rating their land forces in obvious prepa- ration for an attempt to drive him from the small but rugged Bataan | province positions he picked for his delayed defense.
 Air Bombing Expected
 There was a strong possibility that this drive would be accom- panied by a resumption of the ter rife air bombardment to which the island fortress, Corregidor, which guards the entrance to Manila bay, has been subjected for nearly 8 week.
 If the Japanese could knock out the anti-aircraft installations atop Corregidor, they might attempt a direct assault on the fortress, prob- ably led by parachutists.
 Military men said the course of the battle depends almost wholly on the price the Japanese are will ing to pay in casualties. Outnum- bering MacArthur hugely and with complete dominance of the air, the Japanese, it was said, might decide to disregard the cost in killed and wounded to throw their troops in recklessly in an attempt to bring the battle to a quick conclusion.
 Unless the Japanese launch such an unlimited attack, it was thought here, MacArthur should be able to cling to his Luzon toehold for considerable period, falling back slowly down Bataan towards Marl- veles port and, finally, retreating to Corregior's fastnesses for a final siege.
 MacArthur's tactics are designed to deny to the last possible mo- ment, Japan's use of Manila's eX- cellent harbor facilities to reinforce their attack on Singapore. His task is to infl-ct the maximum casualties upon the Japanese while suffering a minimum of losses himself, keep ing his small force intact so far as possible. ''
 Thus far, it was indicated, Mac- Arthur has been able to fight his battle according to plan.
 Jap Freighter
 New York, Jan. g -(UP)- The Japanese freighter Unkai Maru of 2,25O tons has been torpedoed and damaged by a submarine of the Izu peninsula in Japan, south ot Tokyo, communique broadcast by the Tokyo radio and recorded here by Columbia Broadcasting System, said today.
 (The communique indicated that a submarine had operated very close to Yokohama, the port for Tokyo: perhaps as close as the Japanese submarine which came up in view of the California coast to attack American vessels. It was the farth- crest Japan has ever admitted an enemy submarine has come into its home WaterS,)

on the coast, again blasting the
tottering Wairopi bridge, the Japa-
nese supply bottleneck, with three
bombs, and cooperating with the
advancing ground forces by strafing
areas north Of Efogi and about the
Myola lakes.
The communique did not make
clear whether Efogi actually had
been captured. It said forward ele-
ments has pushed that far and had
captured some enemy ordnance
stores and equipment.
Allies Take Menari.
The Allies reached Efogi after
taking Menari, 81 miles by trail
from Port Moresby.
.Menari, heavily strafed by Allied
fighters and bombers for several
days, was taken without opposition,
much to the surprise of the Austral-
ians who thought 1t was an i'm
portant supply depot and would be
stoutly defended. However, no word
was received of the capture of fur
ther Japanese equipment there.
The mystery of the enemy's where
abouts, as well as his lack of air
support, increased as the Austral-
ians advanced unchallenged through
Menari.
Observers believed, however, that
the Japanese, who encountered
growing supply difficulties as they
advanced, may be waiting for these
problems to be equalized before max
ing a stand.

thoroughly established, all field
kitchens were operating, and the
men were on regular rations after
days on special field preparations.
The chief immediate purpose of
the landing force was to establish
an air field from which land based
American fighting planes would be
able to protect our bombers while
the latter pounded Kiska and other
Jap islands.
This landing field started to take
shape on the third day of the land
ing operation.
! One plane landed on the fourth
day in test. At the end of 10
days the officers in charge said it
could be used Immediately by fight
ers and by transports, if necessary,
although actual use was being de-
layed because more permanent ar
rangements could be completed in
another week.
The entire landing operation was
planned with greatest secrecy. The
ships were loaded at various Pacific
Coast and Alaskan ports, and moved
without fanfare to the rendezvous.
Ate and Slept in Relays.
Some of the ships were loaded so
heavily the men had to eat and sleep
in relays. Enlisted men and most
OF the officers were not sure, even
after the convoy was underway, ex-
actly toward what island it was
headed.
The ships moved west in con-
slant state OF alert Tension reached
its pitch when intelligence reported
August 20 that japanese planes were
sighted over an island east of the
one to which the convoy was headed
On the day of landing, breakfast
was served at BIS am. Shortly after
daylight, the transports dropped
anchor mad troops began going over
board about 80 to boat, clambering
down rope ladders under full packs.
The rain pounded the faces of
the troops like BIB shot and kept
biting at them as they climbed the
rldges toward the fog bound noun
talns in the interior of the island.
Caterpillars and half tracks were
among the first equipment brought
ashore, but there was no transpor-
tation for troops or officers. Colonels
and privates alike stumbled through
the sand and over the muskeg for
the first several days.
The islands treelessness made
building campfres a test of in
genmty. On the first night, most
OF the men had no fires at all
although few managed to make
wet driftwood and smashed crates
INTO blazes. They used oars from
pfached landing boats as tent stakes
Only two cases of pneumonia were
reported among the large landing

TORS said the absence of serious i'll
