HEADQUARTERS, South Pac-
fic Forces, Aug. T.-CUP)-De-
layed)-A headquarters spokesman
commenting on the fall of Bairoko
intimated today that the plight of
Japanese on Kolombangara Island
to the Northwest now was worse
than the Kiska garrison and fore
cast a savage pounding, after which
We'll go in there to bury the
dead"
The spokesman said New Georgia
has been cleaned up except for
possible scattered, ineffective refu-
gees and patrols in the outlying
jungles.
He added that American troops
now were firmly entrenched aStride
Kolombangara's supply line.
Asked if the plight of the esti-
mated 5000 Jap soldiers on Kolom-
bangara could be compared to the
Kiska garrison, the spokesman de-
clared
mo, not quite comparable. Kiska
was widely separated from our
positions, while Kolombangara is
right next to our positions in the
Bairoko vicinity
MIGHT EVACUAT1
He admitted that the Japs might
be able over "A period of time to
evacuate troops in small landing
boats, but pointed out they had to
run a nightly gauntlet of our small
naval craft, including PIT boats.
We've exacted a pretty good
toll" he declared.
He estimated that U. S. Sea
forces intercepted majority of the
boats evacuating Jap troops from
Bairoko and sank a large portion
of them, besides damaging others,
U. S. troops entered part of
Bairoko harbor Aug. "a and COM
pleted the occupation bloodlessly
the following afternoon, capturing
"a great DEAL of military supplies,
food and 20 vehicles. There were
no JapS around.

First
Cruise
Success

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, Aug.
28.-UP)-A submarine built in
the middle west reached the coast
of Japan on its first cruise and got
a Japanese vessel with it's first
torpedo, it's skipper, Comdr. George
H. Wales, reported today.
Wales praised his fresh water
sub which was launched in Lake
Michigan from the yards at Mani
towoc, Wis, and went down the
Mississippi to enter the sea below
New Orleans
The shippers of three other subs
were also in port from tours that
destroyed el,ough Japanese sea
strength to make a sizable convoy.
OTHER SHIPPERS
Besides Wales, "a, of Washing
ton, D. c., three were Lieut.. Cmdr.
William S. Post, Jr, 80, of Los
Angeles! Cmdr. William S. Brock
man, 38, of Baltimore, Md, and
Lieut.. Cmdr. Anthony H. Dropp,
35, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Wales and Post have just recelV-
ed silver stars for gallantry and
Brockmans submarine, nautilus,
got a presidential unit citation, the
fifth sub to be so honored.
Wales said the ship sunk off a
japanese beach was the first en-
emy vessel sighted from his made
in the midwest" underseas craft
and he found it the first day of his
patrol operation. 1t was the big
gest ship in convoy.
1--WE let fly a torpedo" he said.
THE blast hurled smoke and flame
500 feet into the air and four min
utes later nothing was left on the
surface but a heavy cloud of smoke
and a mass of Debris. 1 guess that
ship had a heavy load of ammuni-
tion."
