- AT AN ALLIED ADVANCED BASE SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA, Sept. 25 .~Australian patrols made up of

‘veterans who have fought in

mopping up the few score Japanese troops, weakeried by. privation, badly disorganized and poorly armed, ‘who remain of]

the Milne bay invasion force. Milne bay destroyed any _anese are invincible in jungle On the beach of the bay

Japanese food and equipment which had been blasted by

bombs and machine-gun fire from allied planes. 1 saw many wrecked and partly sub-

which enemy troops went to their death 2 as they tried to

land. I saw the beach strewn with the wreckage of tanks and drums of high octane gasoline which the Japanese landed in hope of establishing an air base. The few snipers®still operating in the area when I visited .it several days’ ago, were all that remained of the invasion force.

U. S. Planes Play Big Role

This allied victory was won by perfect co-ordination between the air force and Australian ground forces under Maj. Gen Cyril Clowes. The planes played a big part. They caught the Japanese in a trap. Gen. Douglas MacArthur had long foreseen their attack and had established an air base in the area.

The Japanese troops got to with-|.

in'a few of it before the planes raked them on the open beach with machine guns, sank barges full of troops, and provided a barrage for the Australian troops who ripped into the enemy with everything they had, to drive them back int the rain- soaked jungles.

"Honor Squadron Leader

Ground troops at Milne bay are full of praise for the planes, and especially for a squadron of Australians who won fame in the battle of Britain: The planes took off in ° ceilingzero weather and made 300 sorties in two weeks. Often they landed on

flooded air fields only long enough .

to take on ammunition and fi Squadron Leader Keith {scott their leader, is credited with sinking six invasion barges and killing a complete detachment of 50 Japanese troops on the beach with his Curtiss Kittyhawk’s machine guns.

was so impressed by’ Truscott’s Work that the men presented him with a gift of clothing, and a letter saying they would never forget fhe great work of the Australian fliers. “You all ‘deserved more praise

said. Thought They Would Stay

The Japanese .thought they had come to stay. They brought kitchen equipment, many sacks of rice, quantities of” dried fish, bamboo buckets filed with fermenting cherries, bottles of asahi beer, bows and arrows as gifts for natives, and more than $1,500,000 worth of “invasion currency” in one pound notes bearing a palm tree design

remaining idea that the Japfighting. : I saw huge stores of captured

shore, and the inscription in English: : “The Japanese government-—one pound sterling.” I saw two 11-ton tanks with 37

mathine guns which the Australians captured. The tanks have a revolv ing turret for their guns and Mitsu bishi-Diesel air-cooled engines. They have small ‘but powertyl searchlights. The largest gun the Japanese landed was a 37-millimeter antifank gun which proved highly effective until a Curtiss pilot got it. The Australians told me the Japanese had been over-rated and they did not compare with the Germans they had fought. Japanese casualties were seven times those of the Australians.

COURT-MARTIAL OF 8 NAZIS REPORTED

LONDON, Sept. 25 (U. P.).—Eight

for spreading defeatism, a growing malady in Nazi garrisons. The Moscow radio said the eight soldiers were tried at The Hague, Netherlands, and sent off to Russia in a “punitive battalion,” meaning a convict ‘chain gang.” If they survive, they will be sent to prison after the war. Frequent desertions from German garrisons, especially’ in France, were reported in advices reaching London. Thirty-six soldiers deserted

to one report. Bombings by patriots were reported all over Europe. Radio Berlin broadcast a trans-ocean agency dispatch that a bomb exploded in a house in Athens, injuring ‘numerous persons, including members of occupation forces.” The Italian high command called found none, and executed three ‘Greeks reprisal,
