Allied Attack on Roia,
nMarianas, Indicated
By Tokyo Broadcast
- The Associatsd Press.

~ the Assocjated Press.
The Tokyo radio quoted an
imperial headquarters commune
que today as saying japanese
troops on Rota Island, situated
between Tinian and Guam In the
Marianas, "for successive days
have prevented enemy landings
by valiantly fighting under fierce
artillery firing"
The wording Of the communique,
Is recorded by the Federal Com
munications Commission and the
Associated Press In London, did not
make clear whether landing opera
tions against the island actually had
been launched.
There has been no American an
nouncement concerning operations
against Rota, but In the past the
japanese frequently have been the
first to report such sattacks. For
propaganda purposes. however. they
usually have falsely reported the
landing foxces hurled back and then
have belatedly acknowledged the
landings.
The text of the announcement:
Pierce fighting IS relayed In
latest reports in the vicinity Of the
Marianas is as follows:

Unopposed Landing
On New Guinea S Tip
Completes Conquest
BY the Associated Press.

dy tAS Associated fIeS8.
ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, New Guinea, Aug. L.
An unopposed leap-frog landing
which placed Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's forces within easy bomber
range Of the Philippines and COM
pleted the strategic reconquest of
New Guinea was announced today.
Sixth Army units Sunday cap
tured the tiny village of Sansapor
at the northwestern tip OF New
Guinea in 200-mile amphibious
jump westward from American
occupied Neomfoor Island. They
established a firm hold on the
beaches of the Vogelkop Peninsula
and occupied two adjacent coral is
lets-Amsterdam and Middleburg-
while scarcely. firing a shot.
Sansapor is little over 600 miles
southeast of Mindanao, main island
in the Southern Philippines and less
than 200 miles from the Japanese
strongpoint at Halmahera. It is
approximately go miles east by
north from Sorong, the heavily bat
tered Japanese base at the extreme
end Of New Guinea.
$1,000 japanese Trapped.
The surprise landing trapped an
additional $4,000 japanese troops
concentrated around Manokwari,
some $50 miles eastward. Noemfoor
Island is about so miles east of
Manokwari.
This is the last operation OF the
New Guinea campaign" a headquar-
tiers spokesman said. I'VE control
the entire north coast. It isn't
necessary to go ahead and take
Sorong. We have no need Of it."
The important new thrust was not
preceded by the usual aerial and
naval bombardment. None was
necessary. Seventh Fleet units hov-
cred offshore and American, Aus
tralian and Dutch planes circled
overhead as precautionary pro-
lection.
Thousands Of green clad troops
poured ashore, but Associated Press
War Correspondents Fred Hampson
and Spencer Davis mentioned the
killing of only an occasional sniper.
Within a few hours hundreds OF
trucks and jeeps had been landed
and bulldozers were preparing dis
persal areas, they wrote. Some of
the landing troops went swimming.
Suitable for Airbases.
Sansapor's terrain is suitable for
airbases. The area is covered by
jungle, but there are no large trees.
Gen. MacArthur's communique said:
Our airbases are now established
from Milne Bay (at the southeast
ern tip) along the entire coast of
New Guinea. The enemy no longer
is able to operate in this area, either
by sea or air, beyond the Halma-
hera-Philippines line, which is the
main defense cover for his con-
quered empire in the Southwest
Pacific. Should this line 60, all his
conquests south OF China will be
imperiled and in grave danger Of
flank development"
Since the invasion Of Dutch New
Guinea, the Allied forces have ad-
vanced 600 statute miles. The jap
anese have been pushed back to the
position they held in February,
1912, after losing more than 100,-
900 men, hundreds of planes and
innumerable ships and barges.

Japs Charge Americans

NEW YORK. Aug. THE Tokyo
radio today said Japan had filed a
protest with the United States
through Spain against America s
unlawful treatment Of Japanese
Minister Ken Harada and his STAFF

cast short-waved to the United
States the Tokyo radio said the

in Rome Harada and his staff were
locked up in his Official residence"
and that in addition they often
were subjected to arrogant insults

threatened to do injury

day night extended from point
on Agana Bay. mile north of
the central west coast town Of
Agana, across the islands smile
waist to Pago Bay on the east shore.
From both ends Of this land line
Allied warships formed a semi
circle of steel and flashing fire
around>Northern Guam and poured
into the Japanese usurpers of the
former United States naval base the
punishment of their heavy guns.
More than 21a years after Japan
seized Guam the southwestern part
of the island was functioning again
as an American naval center. Allied
ships steamed in and out Of Port
Apra, best harbor in the Marianas,
and procession of planes operated
from Japanese-built Orote Peninsula
airfield.
Rear Admiral Richard L. Conolly,
amphibious commander, said the
Japanese left Apra Harbor in zine
shape" even improving it by in
stalling marking buoys and torpedo
nets. Mine sweepers dragged the
anchorage areas without encounter
ing a single mine. Port forces
started blasting wrecked Japanese
ships out of the channel.
Field in Use in Six Hours.
Orote field also was in such good
condition that marine engineers had
its 6,000-foot runway in use for tor
pedo bombers within six hours of
its capture. Flyers said it was the
best Pacific airfield yet taken from
the enemy.
Bomb-shattered Agana, once with
q population of 1000, was deserted
except for few snipers when the
Americans retook it and pushed
quickly mile to the north.
Admiral Nimitz said 6,2O6 Jap.
anese had been killed and IT'S civil
ians interned on Guam through
Sunday.
Rough terrain made the progress
on Tnian slow. Two hours Of bomb
ing and naval gunflre preceded the
