A LIED HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN THE SOUTHWEST
PACIFIC, Saturday, Oct. 80.
G-American paratroopers,
spearheading a drive to clear
the Japanese from all the
Solomons, landed Wednesday
morning at the village of
Voza on southwestern Chois-
eul island and the Japanese
there fled north without Of
fering a fight.
This second invasion move
in as many days increased
the threat to Bougainville,
the last big enemy island bar
ring the way to Japan's key
southwest Pacific. fortress of
Rabaul, New Britain.
Airfields Bombed Out
Bougainville's southern airfields
already had been bombed out and
unable to figure in the opposition
and headquarters, in announcing
the Choiseul strike today, reported
heavy attack by ightning-screen-
ed Mitchells on the Buka airdrome
north of Bougainville, during which
200 Japanese working on the run
way were killed, seven grounded
planes were destroyed and four
others damaged.
The Choiseul invasion followed
by day American and New Zea-
land amphibious landings in the
little Treasury Islands 30 miles
south of Bougainville. There on
the larger cone-shaped island of
Mono. the attackers drove the jap
anese toward its northeastern end,
supported by Ventura bombers.
Bougainville is approximately 100
miles northwest of the paratroop
landing scene on Choiseul, but it
is less than so miles from that
northern tip.
A spokesman at South Pacific
headquarters of Adm. William F.
who is in command of the
forces, said only few
hundred Japanese were on Mono.
Allied forces are taking steps to
prevent their evacuation.
Celebrating on General MacAr-
thurs reports, he said the Japa-
nese had retreated to Malsi village
at Lua point, about four miles
from the Allied landing point and
across the elevated portion of heav-
ly-wooded Mono. Allied patrols
now are moving up the beach along
an eight-mile route.
The landings on Choiseul occur
red near the japanese barge stag
ing area. It was to Choiseul that
many remnants of the japanese
troops driven out of the central
Solomons were evacuated, w t h
their ultimate desig-
nation.
Choiseul is separated by Bou-
granville strait from Bougainville
and its investment would control
waters by which both southern
Bougainville and the nearby Short
land islands are supplied.
The parachute troops which land
ed at Choiseul were unopposed in
their landing on that islands south
west coast.
