American landings at Saidor on
the jtmglr-Te-linod north coast oí
New Guinea pointed a serious
: -threat today at Japanese security
along the sea lanes leading to en-
emy island fortresses that stand
.between the advancing Allies and
the Philippines.
Midwestern unite oí the 32nd
infantry division landed without
opposition at thrée Saidor beaches
at dawn Sunday and quickly over-
came slight resistance which de-
veloped after the veterans of ear-
lier New Guinea .campaigns had
, ditg in around the captured air-
fieMr
'The harbor and airfields are ill
our firm grasp," said thecommu-
hiquc telling of General MacAr-
thur's third blow at the Japanese
in 18 dujaf.
A fight with the Japanese was
in prospect, however, for the latest
landings placed the American
Sixth army troops only 55 miles
southeast of Madang,' big enemy
, air and supply base on As t rol abé'
bay. ™ 'r'mSt
The landings, carricd out,
the support of heavy navar and
air bombardments, threatened to
isolate a considerable number of
Japanese /Who have béen falling,

Point, 30 miles' from Madang. An-
other fosee^iving yp the Ramu

American marines on - Cape
lucester, New Britain, enlarged
/their^ 10-day old beachheads, while
patrols made contact With the en-
emy south of the seized airdrome,
and a Japanese barge attempting
to SricaTc into Borgen bay Was
sunk. The count on enemy dead
has gone .over the 1000 mark.
The Gloucester and Saidor op-
erations gave the Allies a foothold
on both sides of the Vitlax-straits
that lead to Truk and other Jap-
ahese bases in the Caroline island
to the north and-tg ihe. Philippines
to the northwest. First of
three recent thrusts was the Dee,
