I Tanks,F|ame Throwers
Hurled Into Attack
On Japs at kunda
Enemy Counterthrust
North of Airdrome
Is Battered Back

~ the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC,
July 31.-Tanks and flame
throwers were hurled into the
battle for Munda yesterday to
burn the Japanese out of their
rock caves and foxholes and bat
ter down their pillboxes.
Behind these dread weapons,
American troops crushed forward a
few more yards. The extent Of
their gains was not announced.
It was the first reported use of
hamethrowers in the month-old
light for the enemy's important
central Solomons airbase. Use of
tanks had been attempted before,
but the rugged terrain deep In the
jungle had stopped them.
Bombers Strike Heavily.
While the armored units were
blazing ahead southeast of Munda,
American forces north of the air
drome battered back japanese
counterattack. United States Navy
torpedo and divebombers, covered
by Wildcat fighters, struck heavily
at coastal positions west of the air.
drome where the japanese still cling
to beachheads.
Strong formations of the Navy's
Dauntless and Avenger bombers
pounded enemy gun positions around
Bairoko Harbor 10 miles north of
Munda. Americans hold the coast
north of Bairoko and the road lead
ing south to Munda.
New evidence of the growing Al
lied aerial might was contained in
todays communique from Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's headquarters.
Liberator bombers, escorted by a
powerful force of fighters, attacked
BaIale airdrome in the Northern
Solomons, causing huge fires. Twen-
ty-flve Japanese Zeros were in the
air over the enemy stronghold but
they avoided combat" the COM
munique said.
Barges Destroyed.
The Gripping attack against Jap
anese shipping continued. At least
II barges were destroyed and many
others were damaged or destroyed.
Seven heavily loaded barges, at
tempting to run troops and supplies
from New Britain to New Guinea
across Vitiaz Strait, were intercepted
and sunk by motor torpedoboats.
Four others were destroyed by Mar
tin Marauders in low-level sweeps
along the western coast of New
Britain.
Sharp fighting continued in the
area between Mubo and Salamaua,
New Guinea, but its progress was
not detailed. Japanese divebombers
made two futile attacks against
American and Australian troops in
this sector and six enemy bombers,
escorted by 1s Zeros, ineffectively
bombed and strafed Australian posi-
tiors near Bena Bena in East
Central New Guinea.
Allied aircraft dropped Is tons of
demolition bombs in the Bobdubi
Bay area of New Guinea but bad
weather prevented observation.
Reconnaissance planes bombed
and strafed enemy installations on
Ceram Island west of New Guinea
and on Unea Island north of New
Britain.
