Invaders Push Inland

Already the nvaders have
pushed inland from their beach
head near Buna some 60 miles on
the 120-mile rough, narrow and
tortuous mountain road that
crosses the range by a 7000-toot
pass Apparently the japanese
are following the same general
pattern of their invasion of north
ern Luzon in the Philippines.
The seizure of Coma and Buna
once more demonstrates not only
Japan's determination 10 maintain
their grip on New Guinea. but also
her refusal 10 forfeit her advan-
tage of initiative, regardless Of
losses or conflicts in other the
aters. This is a dangerous chal-
lenge. These New Guinea ports
are of such potential valuc both

to send a large task force TO eject
them and seize the initiative in
this area.

and repaired.
While blackout curtain StuffS are
most generally used, other mate
rials are also being utilized. Many
buildings are using tight-fltting
press board screens for windows and
doors and black paint for elevator
and stair wells.
Most of the curtains are of the
vertical sliding variety, others are
drop roll curtains. all easily operated
with pull ropes For the most part,
the press board screens are made
within the various building shops.
For use in the smaller buildings,
p. B. A. has bought 126.600 square
feet of thick, opaque building paper.
Other purchases include 200 gallons
of black paint and small amount
of plywood
The paint was probably bought
before Commissioner Reynolds tes-
titled before the House Appropria-
tions Committee that we have been
doing some painting here with black
paint, which we have concluded is
a mistake because it attracts heat
and causes breakage of glass"
P. B. A. hopes to make a better
showing when the District blacks

admits that unless the work is es-
sential or the spot vital the lights

The gale he described yesterday
in an interview in the Navy De-
partment press room blew a "cold

to crawl on their stomachs from
their huts to the mess hall.
Base Held by Army.
The general revealed further:
That the 5000 Marines sent to
Iceland to establish the base had all
returned-except two or three with
the mumps-and that the base
there now was held by the Army.
That, while no immediate invasion
attempt on Iceland is expected

Mr.. Ihlder says it was decided to
