CENTRAL BURMA
 TOWN 30 NEED
R.A.F. Strikes Suddenly at
 KalemyO; British Within 25 Miles of Akyab

New Delhi, Jan. 2 -(UP)- The Royal Air Force, striking in series of heay raids, has heavily bombed the village of Kalemyo, in central Burma, the British Indian Con- mand announced today. Advancing British forces in west ern Burma were believed to be within less than 25 miles of their main objective, Akyab. An earlier communique had reported clashes with Japanese patrols in the vicin- ity of Rathedaung, which is g miles northwest of Akyab.
 BomberS of the United States Army 10th Air Force were partici- pating in the raids against Japa- nese installations in Burma.
 American bonberS on Wednesday bombed the Japanese airdrome at Shwebo, 250 miles northeast of Akyba and 50 miles west of Man. dalay. The next day American planes bombed railways in north- ern Burma.
 British Blenheim bombers at- tackled the airdrome at Shwebo on Thursday. On Wednesday night they had attacked Akyba itself.
 Bursts were seen well in the tar get area at Kalemyo, today,s com- munique said, and fires were started.
 Elsewhere in Burma, British fighters attacked Japanese river craft with their cannon, and Hud- sons, on offensive patrols, bombed and machine gunned shipping of the Arakan coast. One British plane was missing.
 The offensive spirit and growing strength of the Allies was reflected in all year-end reports and state ments of leaders.
 'We've passed the worse |. you've seen forces moved into this theater for the establishment of an effective fighting machine. We are prepared to move forward in the new year." Brig. Gen. Clayton Bis sell, commanding United States Army forces in India, Burma and China, said.
 Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, commanding United States Army Air Forces in China, revealed that his command had destroyed 10l Japanese bombers and fighters and probably destroyed Sl others since the American Volunteer Group was disbanded last July 4.
 The total did not include planes which Ctcnnault's men have des- troyed on the ground, the number of which it is impossible for the Allies to ascertain.
 The Americans lost only i've pi- lots killed in action, and a number were shot down, but escaped to their bases, giving them Q 20-i su- perlority in air fighting.
 Chennault's bomber command carried out 60 raids since July {. One of the last in ie42, blasted Mengmao, Q Japanese base in west ern Yunnan province. 30 miles west of the salweeii river, of the map The Americans lost no planes.
