Allied commander in
Asia, is blueprinting

phibious one — by which th-
Allies hope to make a comeback
la Burma.
Third, central China. There,
la China's rice bowl, two arm-
ies are sparring along the rea-
dies of the middle Yangtze riv-
er. It's not a big campaign as
campaigns go. But it's big enou-
gh to keep a sizeable part of Ja-
pan's army in almost constant
battle.
Fourth, the fiolomon Islands.
This battle, which started with
the invasion of Guadalcanal in
August of last year, is nearly
over. All but one of the chief
Islands in the 700-mile chain are
firmly in Allied hands. And on
that last island — Bougainville
—American fighting men are lit
grips with the Japs to make it a
Clean sweep.
Fifth, is New Guinea. Austral-
ians and Americans under Gen-
eral Douglas Mac-Arthur control
all of the eastern end of the in-
land. Now, they're moving up
the north coast toward the Jap-
anese base at Madang. A11 if:

are striking almost daily at otv. -

the Central Pacific. Japan must
somewhere find the planes, the
troops and the tanks to fight
there. Otherwise a spearhead

U. S. UNDERSEA

broadcast said a flight of 20
planes concentrated on target:;
at the northeastern end of the
island. It claimed three Allied
planes were shot down.
There has been no confirma-
tion of the Tokyo report. But if
true, it may have been the first
rail, of the war on Formosa.
The Jap island was reported
raided once before—on August
12th, 1012—but the report nev-
er was officially confirmed.
General Chennauit's China-
based bombers may have made
Fridoy, Nov. 26,1943
the latest-reported assault. But,
considering the small size of the j
attacking force, there's a possi-
bility that the attack was by
nir carrier-based planes.
In the Southwest Pacific, Al-
lied fliers have ranged far afield
to hammer Japanese shipping \
and port installations in the Mol-
uccas, in the Dutch East Indies.
Our planes also struck for the
fifth straight day at Gasmata,
n Xew Britain island. Some 50
-.^>is of bombs flattened Japan- I
targets at this key point on
:: e invasion road from New
Ctiinea to Rabaul. Other planes
kept up the relentless hammer-
of enemy airfields in the
Biika-Bougainville area. '
On the ground, American and
Australian forces have inflicted
1 two sharp defeats on the Jap-
anese. The Yanks on Bougain-
! ville once again enlarged their
la ad. Our men advanced
.jftt-r a day-long battle in which
104 Japanese troops were killed.
' Incidentally, this brings the toll
of enemy dead in the Bougain-
\ campaign to one-thousand
a.en. On Xew Guinea, the Aus-
sies plunged to within a, quart-
;• mile of Satelberg after break-
ing the backs of two successive
Japanese counter-attacks.
At Pearl Harbor, Admiral
Ximitz reveals that what may
, become the second phase of our
mid-Pacific operations has alrea-
dy begifri. On the very day the
Gilberts fell, carr'/*r-borne and
land-based planes lashed out at
1 the Marshalls. They laid their
f bombs on enemy ojectives on
JalUit atoll, keystone of tho
Marshall defense chain.
