 Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters Australia, Dec. 7.--(UP) - Allied forces in the Buna area of New Guinea had the Japanese bottled in three narrow pockets today. Amer jeans had driven another wedge through the enemy between Buns and the Buna Mission.
 Rough going, through swamps thick with thorny wild sago and across numerous river mouths, was ahead in the mopping UP operations Furthermore, the Japanese had built barbed wire stocsades for themselves along the marrow beach, es, which lacked natural defenses.
 The Australians and Americans faced the necessity of overrunning each enemy segment one by one.
 Bad weather limitea 4 lied air operations Sunday to minor strafing operations. The enemy sent IS bonb- CTS and i6 Zero fighters against one of General Douglas MacArthur's $ advanced bases at Popondetta Sum- day, but no damage was cone. Po- pondetta is a village 10 miles south- west of Buna.
 The American drive to the beach between Buna and the Buna Mis- sian was made Saturday night and Sunday after prolonged aerial straf- ing of the enemy positions, backed up by 5-m!llimeter (4-inch) mor- tars which, 1t was revealed, Mac- Arthur had brought in late in Nov ember in Fortresses from Australia.
 The Buna Mission is about mile southeast of the village. Another American force for more than week has been fighting northwest toward Buna along the each from Cape Endaiadere. The two American forces now have cut of between them the strongest Japanese units. Also between them is the Buna air strip, near the mission. his air strip, to which Americans are as close as 200 yards in some places, is the base of such aerial support as the enemy has left in the Buna- Coma area.

FIGHTING FRENCH
 GENERAL CRITICAL
Asks Allies to Remove Oar. Ian in Africa as
 Threat

London, Dec. = (UP) - Gen. Georges Catroux, fighting French spokesman demanded today that Admiral Jean Francois Darlan be removed from Africa because he lis a direct threat to the already poor Allied communications"
 Catroux asserted that Allied con- munications may be further en- dangered by a possible thrust by Adolf Hitler through Spain against Gibraltar.
 "Darlan is man who cannot be trusted" said Catroux. Hitler is a man who is liable to attempt any thing"
 He said that if Hitler moved through Spain and tried to jump the straits into Spanish Morocco in order to strike at the Allies from the rear disloyal French guerrillas could attack the American and British lines across Algeria to Tu- nisia.
 The attack by Catroux appeared to indicate that any conn romise between the adherents of Gen. Char les de Gaulle and Darlan vas still in the future despite some previous indications of easing tension be- tween the two French groups.
