C E N E RAJ MacARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS, AUSTRAL-
Ia, Oct. 2-(R-The Japanese,
baked in their drive toward
Port Moresby, withdrew deeper
into the Businesses of New GUM
cas- Owen Stanley Mountains to-
day, cautiously pursued by Aus
tralian troops and harried Allied
planes.
A communique from General
MacArthur's headquarters indi-
Gated the Australians were ap-
preaching Menari, a mountain
hamlet As miles north of Port
Moresby, where it was believed
the Japanese might try to make
stand, but apparently there
was no contact between the op-
posing forces yesterday.
Menari is about four miles be-
yond Nauro, which the Austria
lians reoccupied Wednesday after
swift. 10-mile advance from
Ioribaiwa the preceding day.
The comparative slowness of
the Australians progress over
the tricky terrain indicated they
were taking no chances on run
ming into an ambush.
Beaufighters, Airacobras and
flying fortresses meanwhile at
tackled the enemy's bases at Sala-
maua and Buna On the East
coast of New Guinea and ham,
mered the mountain trails along
which the Japanese were trying
to keep supplies moving up to
the front.
A special target of the Allied
air raiders was the Wairopi
bridge over the Kumasi river,
which was attacked four times
yesterday by Airacobras and
flying fortresses. A large section
of the span, damaged the prev
ious day and partly repaired by
the Japanese during the night,
was reported destroyed by high
explosives.
The bridge Is the bottleneck
of the Japanese supply line, for
it offers the only means of NOV
ing heavy material across the
rain-swollen Kumasi river, and
hence has been the object of
daily attacks by Allied airmen.
Relatively little action was re-
ported elsewhere in the south
west Pacific, though Allied Air
scouts maintained ceaseless pa
trolls over the waters Northeast
and Northwest of Australia.
