the offensive started June 80 undeI
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. supreme
commander in the south and south
west Pacific.
A start on reducing the enemyiS
bases near Munda was made by
more than leo bombers and fighters
in an aerial assault on japanese
positions at Retata Bay on Santa
isabel island east of New Georgia.
Sixty-fiye tons Of bombs were
dropped at Retata Bay yesterday
e'Iorcino all anti-aircraft positions
and causing considerable damage
10 enemy installations, the COM
munique reported.
The attack was made less than
"a hours after American occupation
of Munda. on New Georgia Island,
where the Yanks were mopping up
isolated Japanese Remnants and
cleaning out Bairoko, hafbor, 10
miles north of Mlmda, Where smail
garrison is surroundedap
1t was indicated thatrthe, .Ameri-
cans would swiftly -rebhild the
bomb b-battered Munda air base and
use it for operations against Santa
Isabel to the east. Kolombangara
and Vella Lavella in the New Geor-
ola GROUP to the north. and Bou-
gainville. in the northern Solomons.
A dispatch from Frank Tremain''
United Press correspondent at south
Pacific headquarters. said japanese
positions on these islands may be
neutralized by the seizure OF Munda
but that an enemy garrison OF
5000 may have been left for
suicide action on Kolombangara
lust across Kula Gulf for New Geor-
gia.
A troop carving barge was des-
troved by an Allied plane off Vella
Lavella and CatalinaS strafed en-
envy soldiers struggling in the water.
Sixteen American Corsair fighters
planes operating over Bougainvlue
shot down seven of 80 enemy planes
in a series of dogfights for a loss of
one.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. over
all commander of South Pacific
operations. sent his congratulations
to Adm. William F. Halsey, Jr.,
commander in the Solomons area,
for the conquest of Munda, first
base to fall to troops put on the
offensive SO days ago.
The victory extended the eastern
arm of a long pincers apparently
aimed at Rabaul big japanese base
on New Britain Island above New
Guinea. The other arm was devel-
oping with the slow jungle cam
paign through New Guinea toward
Salamaua, enemy stronghold on the
northeast coast.
A ceaseless air campaign against
enemy shipping in the New Guinea
area resulted in the destruction or
damaging of more barges and at
least one small merchant ship off
Dutch New Guinea.

Russiu's Fourth
CITY OutfIonked

in a twin offensive aimed at Bry-
ansk. 30 miles farther west and the
biggest German base on the central
front.
Advances or 3'5 20 miles were
chalked up by the Soviets on the
Bryansk front yesterday and more
than 10 towns, including the high
way junction of Kromy, 81 miles
southwest of Orel, were liberated.
Russian tank and infantry forces
were smashing ahead in pursuit of
the beaten Axis Orel armies SO
rapidly that some observers doubted
the NaZis would have chance to
dig in behind a new defense line
short of Bryansk itself.
One Soviet formation yesterday
killed more than l,500 Germans and
destroyed IA tanks and l8 guns in
overwhelming rear guards.
More than 1000 Germans were
killed in one sector southwest of
Orel and 10 tanks were wrecked or
captured
Soviet air force bombers and as
Sault planes blasted and Strafed en-
emy columns retreating toward
Bryansk, inflicting heavy casualties
despite determined resistance by
enemy fighters. Fifty-three Ger
man planes were shot down in air
combats.
