on Jop Convoy

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters announced virtual
completion of the bitter Papuan
campaign in New Guinea today,
with the humiliation of a ia
panese army that once totaled
$4,000 troops. even as Allied
warplanes smashed at the rem
nants of l0-ship Japanese con-
voy off the New Guinea north
coast.
A..er running 24-hour bat
tie, Gen. Macarthur listed theses
blows inflicted on the enemy
convoy and its aerial defenders:
/. Two big transports sunk, in
Guiding 14,000-ton ship ''heavi-
ly loaded" with Japanese troops.
2. A third transport heavily
damaged, hit by a 5O0-pound
bomb.
3. Eighteen Japanese fighter
planes definitely destroyed, five
probably destroyed, four others
damaged.
THOUSANDS LOST
Presumably thousands Of JA-
panese lost their lives ia the
sinking of the two large trans-
ports, one of which sank with It's
entire load during a night bomb
ing attack.
Dispatches said Allied planes
were continuing the assault to-
day in Huon Gulf, off the ia
panese base at Lac.
American flying fortresses,
Liberators, Consolidated Cata-
linas. North American Billy
Mitchells, Martin Marauders
and Lockheed Lightnings joined
in the attack, which began on
the morning of Jan. 6 when the
enemy convoy was sighted about
80 miles off New Britain.
