Macarthur Set
For First Test,
Sees Jap Drive
Enemy Planes Sighted
Over Australia Believed
Prelude TO Big Attack
BY BRYDON c. TAYES
United Press stan Correspondent

NERAL MacARTHUR'S
Australia a,
May 1.-Two unidentified war
planes, obviously japanese, have
flown over the vulnerable north
east coast of Australia indicating
that Japan may soon strike at the
continent and give American
forces here their first test of bat
tie. Gen. Douglas Macarthur re-
vealed today.
Macarthur announced in a spe-
cial communique that the planes
had flown over Townsville, on the
populated coastal fringe, and that
attempts TO intercept them had
failed.
II was the first time that en-
envy planes had been definitely re-
ported over the populated area,
though there had been uncon-
firmed reports of such reconnais-
sance fights before Macarthur as
sumed his command of American,
Australian and Netherlands forces
In Australia.
The fact that Townsville is more
than 1000 miles from the nearest
Japanese land bases, raised the
question whether the planes were
carrier-borne. and meant that an
enemy feet was within striking
distance OF the continent.
Flying at high altitude. the
planes passed safely over a bar
rage put up by Allied anti-aircraft
guns and disappeared before
American and Australian inter-
ceptor planes could contact them.
The Importance which MacAr-
thur attached TO the visit of the
planes, almost certainly japanese
reconnaissance craft. was empha-
sized by the fact that he made il
his first special communique.
Townsville is on the vitality inn
portant east coast railroad-high-
way communication line. 700 miles
north of Brisbane and 1000 miles
west OF Free French New Cafe
donia where American forces are
now based.
Sighting of the planes came al
a moment when the fierce aerial
warfare in the northeastern inva-
sion zone was reaching a peak.
