the service particularly useful.

People in the main will choose
the privacy of house and grounds

However, there are conspicuous

"Our first step is necessarily Ber-

But our ultimate destination still
is Tokio-and we will arrive there

Smelling Of RobouI and Kovieng
Surprise in Darkness and Rain
Jops Apparently
Expected Weather
To Protect Them
By. VERN HAUGLAND,
Press War Correspondent.


ADVANCED PACIFIC NAVAL
BASE, Feb. 10 Delayed TT was
a dark and rainy night and the
Japanese had been bombed so much
at night they must have figured
this was q good night to sleep
no bombings.
This was the explanation Of Capt
Rodger Simpson of Portland, Greg.
and San Francisco for the apparent
lunpreparedness of the Japanese
when American destroyers sailed
boldly Friday into the enemy's two
strongest South Pacific fortresses-
Rabaul and Kavieng-shelled them
savagely and withdrew without suf-
fering a single casualty or damage
of any kind.
Capt. Simpson piloted a squadron
LOT destroyers up narrow st. George
Channel between enemy-held New
Ireland and New Britain to lombard
the Rabaul, New Britain, area foI
an hour starting at am. In addi-
ton his ships fired torpedoes al
enemy ships in the harbor.
About five hours later and couple
|of hundred miles farther north or

Japs Believed Planes Attacking.
This was the first time Allied war.
ships have trespassed on the Japs
doorstep in New Britain and New
Ireland.
Capt. Simpson said the japanese
at Rabaul apparently believed it was
another air raid and at first played
their searchlights frantically ovel
the sky and sent up heavy anti.
aircraft barrage.
They soon corrected their error,
the captain related, "and begar
throwing stuff at us, but couldn't
find us behind our smoke screen"
Capt. Burke's attack was in broad
daylight, just after dawn. He ex-
planned Kayieng harbor, unlike Ra-
baul's, has many entrances and it is
impossible to prevent ships from es-
Gaping through some Of them.
Capt. Burke's ships concentrated
on the most important ships in the
harbor as reported by spotter plane
"a Liberator-piloted by 1t
Mitchell.
I'VE went up and bombarded
Kavieng for IS minutes" Capt
Burke said, until we ran out oi
ammunition. One tanker was seer
to blow up and 10 or>12 other ships
were hit. We also damaged installa-
tions and the airfield. One japanese
destroyer and two other ships es-
capped.
I'VE could see flashes that looked
like fires, but we couldn't see the
harbor itself. Jap gunnery was bet.
ter than usual. We had some aw.
fully close misses.
TWO floatplanes took of from the
harbor and dropped a few bombs
but not close enough to cause an,
damage"
Capt. Simpson said the Rabau
shelling was present for his daugh
ter in San Francisco on her 18th
birthday. He said he similarl.
shelled other Jap bases on his wife,
sons and older daughters birthdays
Capt, Burke's Kavieng score wa!
tentatively set at a tanker probably
sunk, 10 or II other ships hit ane
many M them probably sunk.

the Rev. John Nevin Sayre Of the
Fellowship Of Reconciliation.
He reported that the following
message had been cabled to Lord
Lang by the is clergymen:
Appeal Of Chichester and your
self in House Of Lords against Allied
policy blotting out whole German
cites and nonmilitary areas is well
coined by many American church,
men. Obliteration historic cities and

does violence to professed war aims
and standards Christian faith.
Deeply grateful your courageous
stand"

For Capt. Simpson the score reads:
Four cargo ships torpedoed and
left in sinking condition; atanker
torpedoed and badly damaged and
two destroyers badly damaged and
beached.
Lobbed Shells Over Volcanoes.
Capt. Simpsons force had to lob
shells over 2,200-foot-high extinct
volcanoes with 300-foot clearance to
hit the town.
I'VE were very lucky" the leader
OF the Rabaul attack said. I'VE fully
expected the Japs to pick us up
when we entered st. George Chan
mel in the darkness with New Ire
land 1900 yards away on one side
and New Britain the same distance
on the other side.
1--WE were up the channel around
Duke of York Island and made a
wide sweep to northwest, looking
for enemy ships without finding any.
At l am. we started our smoke
screen. just as the moon was rising.
The leading ship took the shore bat
teries while the others fired on Ra-
baul town.
I'VE put 900 pounds of 5-inch am
munition into targets and then ap-
preached within 5000 yards Of the
point forming entrance to the har-
Dor and fired torpedoes at ships in
Keravia Bay. We fired torpedoes at
five targets and probably sank four
ships and badly damaged the fifth.
While we were making this at
tack two Japanese destroyers came
out from Simpson Harbor and fired
torpedoes and guns at us without
effect. We kept ducking in and out
of our smoke screen, spelling the ac-
curacy of their shore and other fire.
"We drove the enemy destroyers
off and they went back into the har-
Dor. Later reconnaissance showed
them beached. We steamed down
past the harbor and shelled troop
areas in the Vanapope sector all the
way down the coast to Rapapo air
drome and beyond. Rapapo has
been bombed so much we didn't
waste shells on it. We saw two big
fires blazing up through the heavy
rain and fired a number of star
shells for incendiaries.
Our guns were kept going for
nearly an hour. Jap planes chased
us until daylight but we kept dodg-
| ing under rainsqualls and they
didn't dare enter and they never
were able to press home an attack" {"
Comdr. David Malgaard of Berke-
ley, Calf, said the Japanese air.
