Previously Japan had occupied

News of the occupation ex-

Apparently the Japanese. smart
ing under humiliating defeats In
the southern Solomons. where
United States marines had estab-
lished offensive bases. and In the
Milne Bay area OF New Guinea.
where Australians had smashed an
important invasion force. thought
it wise to guard against a pos
sible Allied attack from the north
west Australian zone.
MacArthur's communique today,
after reporting the usual recon-
naissance over the northwestern
zone. said that an Allied medium
bomber unit had attacked q Japa-
nese cruiser southeast OF New
Guinea with unknown results
