For the second successive day
Flying Fortresses and other Al
lied aircraft yesterday blasted
the Japanese bases in New
Guinea and New Britain, from
which supplies and reinforce
ments are sent to enemy forces
now being held in check by Aus
tralian troops only 81 airline
miles from Port Moresby.
Flying Fortresses made an "har-
assing night raid" on Rabaul, New
Britain-also an important Japa-
nese base for operations in the Solo
mon 1slands-and started fires vis-
ible for so miles, an Allied commu-
nique reported. Salamaua, Lac and
Buna in New Guinea also were at
tackled.
Japs at Buna Attacked.
The most immediate supply point
for the Japanese now trying to push
down the south side OF the Owen
Stanley Range toward the Allied
base at Port Moresby is At BunA on
the northeast New Guinea coast.
Allied fighters swooped down on
Japanese transport and supply IA
cilities there and poured burst after
burst Of machine-gun and cannon
fire into them.
A reconnaissance unit, surveying
the effect of Thursdays attack on
the port, reported u burned barges,
used to carry supplies along the
coast, on the beach.
Farther up the New Guinea coast
at Salamaua and Lac, heavy bomb
ers started numerous fires" the

Fighting on the road to Port
Moresby yesterday was described in
the communique as minor and ap-
parently was still centered IN the
vicinity Of the village Of Ioribaiwa
on the south side OF the range.
Patrol Skirmishes.
The action presumably was lin
tied to patrol skirmishes in difficult
terrain, which both the Australians
and Japanese have found suited for
infiltration, ambush and Ranking
maneuvers.
CThe Australian radio reported
in broadcast heard by CBS in
New York that fighting in the
Owen Stanley range again had
slackened after a minor shift to
the south. This indicates the
japanese may have made q slight
