patronage of men in uniform.
Public relations officer at the
air base today merely stated
that Col. Colman had confirmed
issuance of the order declaring
the resort "out of bounds and
has having said that he did so
for reasons of our own"
According to Police Chief Ar
thur /. Rosso this is the first
time that military authorities
have deemed it necessary to
take such action in Mount Glenn
ems. The police chief said that he
welcomed the order. He said
that the Ritz combines dancing
facilities with the serving OF
hard liquors, wine and beer.
Chief Rosso said that military
policeman, stationed before the
entrance of the Ritz last night,
Systematically turned away all
troops attempting to enter. He
further declared that the mana
gers of the Ritz, George Stoia
and George Sulka, were unable
to produce a dance hall permit
when he instructed an officer to
pick-it-up last evening.
George Stoia, one of the two
proprietors, said today that he
feared that Selfridge Field au-
thorities believe that girls who
frequent his establishment get
acquainted" with soldiers with
whom they make appointments
elsewhere. He said he under
stood there had recently been an
increase in venereal diseases in
Mount Clemens.
Stoia insisted that there is
never any cross table dancing at
the Ritz and said his girl patrons
behave as though they were in
church" while in the cafe. He
said that he endeavors to make
certain that none of his patrons
are under-age.
If banning my place to sol 1

out that he plans to continue op-

enjoyed a considerable army
trade.

Smash Lost Foothold

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Jan. s.
U.P)-United States and Austral-
ian troops have wiped out the
last Japanese resistance in the
Buna area of northern New
Guinea by smashing a small
enemy pocket inland from the
captured area. reports from the
front said today.
Allied troops moved silently
through the Buna coconut groves
and swamps routing out Japa-
nese stragglers who had fled in
land when the Buna govern
ment station had been taken and
the last organized enemy re-
sistance in that area broken.
Reports to headquarters said
that about so stragglers were
taken yesterday and many pris-
oners had been captured. AT
least 800 Japanese troops had
been killed or captured during
the weekend. The largest group
of enemy troops remaining in
the Buna area, about 100, were
surrounded in the coconut
groves inland from the beach.
Preparing the way for the at
tack on Sanananda Point, Mar
tin Marauder B-26 medium
bombers dropped 800 pound
bombs on the enemy positions
and Douglas APO attack bomb
ers made IL cannonading and
machine cunning sweeps over
the enemy lines and along the
trail leading inland.
Marauders and Havocs raided
the airdrome and nearby install
lations at Lac, the big enemy
base in the northeastern New
Guinea inundated area $50 miles
northwest of Buna, on the Huon
Gulf. They destroyed three
grounded Japanese planes and
started fires in hangers and the
base building area with their
300-pound bombs and the Hav-
ocs sprayed the entire airdrOme
with machine gun and cannon
fire.
An Allied reconnaissance
plane attacked a Japanese sup
ply ship, heavily laden and car
rying deckload of sacked
freight, as it entered Finsch
Harbor, around the corner OF
the gulf from Lac and $50 miles
north of Buna.
Giant consolidated B-24 Lib
orator bombers dropped 1000
pound bombs on the airdrome
runway and gun positions al
Gasmata, on the south coast OF
New Britain Island 240 miles
northeast of Buna, and recon
naissance planes attacked ar
enemy schooner in Jacquino,
Bay, 30 miles east of Gasmata

The occupation of the new po-
sltions southwest of the airfield
constituted what appeared to be
the first important advance OF
American ground forces on the
island in weeks. Heretofore the
American troops had engaged
only in widespread patrol activ-
ity which took a heavy toll OF
their starving and more or less
isolated Japanese opponents on
the western and southern flanks
of the American position pro-
tecting Guadalcanal airfield.
The immediate purpose of the
advance in the vicinity of Mount
Austen, a l,5l4-foot peak four
miles southwest of the airficld
undoubtedly was to prevent tho
japanese from bombarding the
field from the heighth.

ARMY AT MEDJEZ-EL-BAB.
Tunisia, Jan. 2 - (Delayed) -
(U.D - A British patrol of 20
men crept silently up q rocky
hill north of Medjez-El-Bab two
hours ago.
Suddenly on the horizon, in
the starlight, there appeared the
silhouette of q soldier wearing
a German helmet. He was 10
feet from the officer who led
the patrol.
The sentry sensed the presence
of strangers. He shouted: "Qui
Est Ca?" who's there?" The
Germans always challenge in
French on this front.
l was about 20 feet behind
the British officer. 80 feet from
the German.
A bullet whistled over our
heads. Our officer threw a hand
grenade at the sentry and l saw
great white explosion. The
ground shook.
Then a machine gun opened
fire with the short quick bursts
the Germans favor.
We were flattened on the
ground and the Germans were
trying to spray us, without sue
cess.
The patrol opened rifle fire
and German riflemen answered.
Orders were whispered: get
out the grenades." Fix bay
onets." Send q section around
to the left"
The section moved out and
blazed away at the Germans
with light machine guns and
rifles. 1t was geeting too hot.

We scrambled down the hill
side, stumbling over rocks, ours

keep from stumbling into a hole

(R - American infantrymen
bayoneted 25 Of so attacking
Germans during the famous bat
tie of Long Stop Hill near Med
jex-El-Bab.
Private Leonard Aaronson of
Brooklyn, N. Y, who accounted
for two of them, explained to-
day There was only one thing
for us to do and we did it,"
His story was one of many
Just coming to light of the epic
encounters during the recent
fierce see-saw struggle for the
heights six miles north of Med
jez-El- Bah.
I'VE had taken the hill the
night before and now were on
the defensive" Aaronson said.
"A German patrol set out to see
how far it could penetrate our
lines. It was dark and there
were about go of them. They
were in our lines before the out
post could give the alarm.
They opened fire on us, but
we were afraid to return it for
fear the bullets would kill our
own men scattered all about. In
stead we attacked with bayonets.
ut was like a fencing duel. If
you could dodge and block fast
enough and get your blade in
first you were the victor. I
caught the first man with the
butt Of my rifle and as he went
under I gave him the bayonet.
He fell over dead"
Aaronson said he moved for
ward with the other American
troops and met a few more
Germans, one Of whom ran to-
ward him.
He was even bigger than
the first one and didn't bother
to try to stab me-" Aaronson
said. HE swung his rifle butt
ct me horizontally. The object
Of this Is to disable your OPP
= ponent and il you miss the
stroke you are supposed to re-
tain control Of the rifle and
swing back on guard.
UNFORTUNATELY for him he
lunged with such fury. it swung
him around and let him wide
open for whatever wanted to
give him.
II didn't have to tell my hands
what to do. I followed instinc-
lively the principles the army
drilled into me for years.
THE remaining Germans by
then had enough and gave up.
Those who knew English drop
ped their guns and held out
crossed hands to surrender. We
rounded them up and when our
unit was relieved we still held
the hill.
II did not want to bayonet
those men. We all wanted them
to give up at once. But they
chose to fight it out. 1t was them

thing for US to do and we did it,"
