AIR OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. tR -
Increasingly strong opposition to
American advances in the Pacific
may be expected from japanese
land based aviation, Navy Secre-
tary Forrestal reported today.
Forrestal said the enemy's land
aviation now is stronger than at
any time in Japan's history.
At a news conference, he said
that in the battle for the Philip
pineS American carrier planes
and aircraft carriers met major
forces of land based Japanese
bombers and fighters for the first
time.
Recalling damage incurred in
engagements which routed Japa-
nese naval forces near Leyte, he
said the enemy aerial opposition
was ''the stiffest'' met in some
time.
Asserting 1--WE can expect still
more opposition as we go along"
Forrestal said:
"The nearer we get. the more
the Jap can construct his air de-
tense, as well as his ground and
sea defenses.
