- up The Japanese. still
putting up no heavy resist
ance against advancing Allied
troops at Lac, New Guinea,
are so desperately in need of
air support in that battle Sec
tor that they are perilously
depicting their plane strength
on other fronts.
This disclosure was made
today by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's headquarters which
pointed out that the enemy
by thus rehabilitating his bad
ly battered airforces in New
Guinea and in the Solomons,
is becoming weakened and
vulnerable to air penetration
in other theaters."
More Planes Destroyed
The japanese, who have lost
more than 400 planes recently in
New Guinea and more than 500
since August l over the Solomons,
lost 81 more for certain and nine
others probably in operations re-
ported in today's communique
against the loss of only five AL
lied planes.
News from the ground front was
of a limited character. Northeast
of Lac, Australians who previous
ly had been reported within five
miles of that air base moved

from minor Japanese patrols

The pressure below Lac on Sala'

fighting at Bobdubi, five miles
south of that air base.

points have been pounded into
ruins in repeated heavy air at
tacks, SO more tons of explosives
have been dropped, headquarters
reported.
Twenty japanese planes appear

In the Solomons, the American
air force made a heavy raid or
southern Bougainville, site OF the
big enemy air base Of Kahili. Five
enemy planes were doWned during
