 GEN MacARTHIIRt HE,

QUARTERS, AUSTRALIA - Some 15O0 to 200O Japanese troops were dug in today at their third toe-hold on New Guinea, the great island just northeast of Australia, posing tentative new threats to Port Mores- by, the most advanced Allied base in the South Seas. The landing was at Buna, 11O miles across the nar- row neck of Papau from Port Moresby on the eastern peninsula of New Guinea and on the northern shore. Allied fliers inflicted heavy casualties, sinking a transport and seaplane, a communique said. The landing on the mountainous. jun gle-coVered island broke a four months luli in the Southwest Pac- fife, following Japan's naval de- feat in the Coral Sea and might easily be the start of intense new campaigning. Other enemy bases are 165 and 19O miles northwest of Buna at Lac and Salamau, both frequent targets of Allied planes.

DIM0ND ASKS BREAK
 FOR ALASKA ON WAR
 NEWS; SCORES DELAY

While the Army has advised that Alaska will henceforth be given all war news published elsewhere, Del egate Anthony J. Dimond this week expressed the opinion that the Navy long ago should have given the public a review of Jap activities in the Aleutians. The Associated Press reported from Washington, D. c.
 Referring to the NaVy's com munique Friday giving an account of operations in the north Pacific, Dimond said, "The Japs have sent altogether too much power to the Aleutians for that move to be a mere sideshow operations. I wonder why we had to wait this long to find out the facts? It could all have been made public without giving any information to the en- emy. AS far as the enemy's power is concerned, it doesn't help them if we are told what they have"
 Dimond said it was reported to him that the Japs used 25,0OU troops to capture the islands, but he said he was unable to confirm this report.
 War news released in the contin. ental United States or Canada will be made available to Alaska news. papers at the same time, Mayor Harry Mccain, of Ketchikan, was advised this week by Lieutenant General John Dewitt, head of the Western Defense Command.
