der, the spokesman said, but the
scale of the fighting or casualties
were not disclosed. Contact between
the Australians and Americans on
the seacoast will permit supplies for
the Australian forces to be moved
by sea instead of over jungle trails
and will permit coordinated opera
tons against Salamaua.
Bobdubi Area Active
Other Allied patrols were reported
active in the Bobdubi area, less than
four miles southwest of Salamaua,
and news was received of sharp
ground clashes at Mt. Arodubi, a
mile and half northwest of Ko-
miatum, in the same general area.
Results of the clashes were not
known.
Australian patrols also were re-
ported raiding enemy positions in
the Markham river area above Lac,
q miles north Of Salamaua. Sala-
maua and Lac were the big first
points on New Guinea occupied by
the Japanese and we're believed to
be fairly strongly held. Several weeks
ago the Japanese sent strong rein
forcements to the Mubo area, in an
ticipation of an Allied move.
Allied medium and attack bomb
ers constantly were bombing and
strating the ae-Salamaua-Mu
area

SEEK VICTORY
GARDEN VANDALS
Considerable Indignation
Aroused in Bunker Hill
Section; Many Offers

Police questioned two persons yes
terday in their search for the van
dals who trampled and uprooted
victory gardens of children in the
Bunker Hill section. Still other per-
sons may be Intercepted, it was
learned A police officer is now sta
toned at the project to guard
against further destruction.
The ruthless wrecking of plants
at time when every last vegetable
may be needed to aid Americas war
effort" has resulted in an encour-
aging public pledge of support, Mrs.
Merton B. Allan, supervisor of the
project, said last night. Replace
ment of the ruined plants with cab
bage, swiss chard, broccoli, and to-
matoes was preferred, as we'll as
money to obtain new start. The
children will carry on, said Mrs. AL
Ian, and will still contribute to a
bumper crop. 60 new tomato plants
have already been obtained with the
aid of Bernard Mcdonald, chairman
of the war garden committee. A
number of firemen from the Bunker
Hill station, who themselves have
plots in the vicinity, helped resi-
dents set out the new plants for the
children. The new requirements are
strong and healthy, Mrs. Allan as
serted, and there is every chance
they will mature and bear good to-
matoes.
Mr.. Mcdonald urges that garden
ers be alert to dangers threatening
their crops, and not only cultivate
them carefully but be on the alert
for vandals and thieves. The danger
from thieves will become more pro-
nounced as the crops ripen, he has
pointed out.
