cleaning on the wings and the
Japanese below are in an OBJ
vious frenzy.
Several enemy destroyers are
running in circles, weaving
white wakes. Some big trans
ports are running in all direc-
tions. One docl- is vanishing
and a ship moored there is list
ing.
Obviously this is not as inn
portant an affair as Pearl Har-
Dor by a long way but probably
every man hidden behind an
oxygen mask in these .merican
planes filling the sky feels
glow of satisfaction on seeing
the Japanese on the receiving
end of this great surprise attack,
knowing the Japanese are dis
mayed as flock after flock of
heavy bombs strings to the har-
Dor.
Heavy guns are following US
as we make our run in. Shells
explode above and below us.
Now our bombs are away and
we watch them hit between two
vessels probably getting one.
This is like colored motion
picture of destruction, but be-
cause our earphones are on it
is a silent one. From our plane
we can see five good-SiZed ships
casting up black smoke. Now
five strings of bombs are land
ing on a ship that seems to puff
from our view.
There is a startling contrast
between its green-rimmed har-
Dor with its wooded peninsula,
lazy white clouds on the horizon
and seemingly peaceful town of
Rabaul. But it is the principal
enemy garrison town in this
whole area and the destruction
had to be wrought From our
height it seems unreal.
No one would suggest that this
compares with the mass air at
tacks in Europe but it is highly
dramatic and-unlike the Big
Rome raid for instance, where
cultural treasures had t. be con-
sdered - we are trying to elm
mate every enemy thing we
can.

and down the north side of the
stream.
Seven German divisions were
in line across Italy to oppose the
Allied advance.
This advance was all long the
line.
After a heavy fight troops
northwest of Benevento cap
tured the town of Guardia, four
miles north of the Galore river
and only nine miles east of the
Volturno. This advance threat
ened the left flank of the Ger
mans fighting behind the Vol
turno defenses.
The British and Canadians in
the center of the line drove for
ward five miles. They pursued
the enemy and occupied Gildone,
less TIM mile southeast of Cam
pobasso, and made other gains
to swing the east end of their
line forward.
The attack came as one of the
wars dramatic high spots after
Gen. Clark had given the word,
Hit them hard"
Apparently aware OF the con-
centration of American and
British forces preparing for the
blow, the Germans had attempt
ed TO strike first and launched
a sharp attack in the Capua
area.
Some German attachments
managed 10 cross the river and
gain a brief foothold on the
town controlling the main road
to Rome.
But Clark and his seasoned
warriors were ready and drove
back every German unit which
had crossed to the south bank
and then launching their own
heavy offensive at many points
both east and west of Capua.
The Germans fought back
fiercely and covered the routes
of approach to their positions
with machine-gun, mortar and
rifle fire and a heavy concen-
tration of shells from their big
ger guns back in the hills.
But the Allied troops battled
across the 100 to 200-yard river
some by swimming, some in
assault boats and others in am
phibious trucks.

cargo vessels ana 70 harbor
craft.
Severe damaging Of a submar-
inc, its 5000 ton tender, a $500
ton destroyer tender and a T.
600 ton cargo ship.
Wrecking and firing of
WharveS and waterfront installa-
tons at Simpson Harbor, one of
the finest in the world.
These accomplishments cost
the Allies five planes out of the
participating hundreds, the bulk
Of which were Americans. The
raiders expended $50 tons Of
bombs, IS tons more than the
bomb load dropped last week on
Wake Island, and more than
100000 rounds of ammunition
Escorted over Rabaul for the
first time in the war by fighters,
the Liberators and Mitchells
struck by daylight at base so
bristling with defenses that
heretofore attacks were made
under cover OF darkness But
that was before Macarthur &C
CURED forward air bases on is
lands North of New Guinea.
The sharp scaling down Of Ra-
bauls striking power followed a
series of heavy raids since mid
August which have destroyed
approximately 500 enemy planes
at Wewak, New Guinea.
The overall strategy in this
was pointed out in today's com
munique:
Recently we crushed the
right wing OF his (Japan's) air
command at Wewak. This time
our objective was his left wing
at Rabaul The division Of his
air forces into two great groups
based upon Wewak and Rabaul
has made it possible to use our
main mass against first one
flank, then the other, thus ac-
curing in each case superiority
Of force at the point of combat
and destroying his force in de
tail"
The Japanese were 50 COM
pletely surprised at Rabaul that
they got only 40 fighters in the
air, of which 26 were downed
Low-flying Mitchells raked ISL
grounded bombers and fighters
while the fighter protected Lib
orators went after shipping.
One immediate result Of the
raid, General Macarthur said. is
to give the Allies mastery of the
air over the Solomons seas and
adjacent waters.
Rabaul is protected to the
South by only the big Solomons
island Of Bougainville now that
Japan has been ousted from the
Central Solomons. Today's com
munique announced the crushing
of all organized enemy resistance
on Vella LaVella, with 200 Jap
anese slain in final operations.
Bougainville itself underwent
new Allied attacks in which 81
Japanese planes were shot down
at a cost Of three American
raiders.
