BY the Associated Press.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC,
Feb. 5.-Waiting until the Japa-
nese built up their previously
depleted air force, American
pilots slashed at Wewak's four
airdromes Thursday and de-
stroyed at least 80 enemy planes.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur said to-
day 70 planes were DESTROYED on
the ground by a 2OO-ton bombing
and strafing attack. Eight others,
including bombers, were shot down.
1t was the heaviest weight of ex-
plosives ever dumped on that key
New Guinea base. The communique
described Allied losses and damage
as light.
Wewak, scene Of devastating raids
last August 18 and 10 when 225
planes were destroyed, was just re-
covering when 1t. Gen. George C.
Kenney sent more than $50 5th

corted by Thunderbolt fighters. hit
Wewak shortly before noon, drop
ping 1000 and 1000 Founders on
the Wewak and Boram runways.
Twelve parked planes were de-
stroyed.
1t was during this raid that
American fighters encountered en-
emy Zeros and medium bombers
coming in or attempting to escape.
Eight Of the enemy planes were
shot down.
A perfectly timed strike by
Mitchell medium bombers in large
force caught the japanese fighters
about an hour later refueling on
Dagua and But airdromes. Sixty,
virtually all of them fighters, were
destroyed on the ground.
Smoke Obscures Observation.
Japan's air force loss may even
have been greater. American pilots
said the great clouds of smoke from
the burning aircraft obscured ac-
curate observation.
On the ground, Australian jungle
fighters pushed over mountain di-
vide and are driving down the Mint
Jim River in Northeastern New
Guinea only 18 airline miles-30
miles by trail-from Bogadjim, de-

To AIibi Reverses in East

STOCKHOLM, Feb. (R.-The
German press has begun to use what
it described as the imminence Of an
Allied invasion of Western Europe
to explain continued reverses in the
east to the German people. Swedish
dispatches from Berlin said last
night.
The defense of the west is Ger
many's main task in 1914 because
it not only guarantees a defense
with prospects OF a favorable out
come but also provides chance to
gain decision in the war;" the
newspaper Nachtausgabe said.
Therefore, operations in the east
must be limited, the newspaper de-
clared, with the aim of inflicting the
heaviest losses possible on the Rus
slams and hindering a decisive Rus
sian breakthrough while Germany
is preparing for the attack in the
