Japs Open Counter-Drive Into China, Make Rai On Calcutta.

NEW DELHI, Dec. 41 (U. P) Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell’s British Indian army pushed an unopposed dsive along the Bay of pengal coast {in Burma today while the Japanese retorted with a sudden counterdrive into southwestern China. American bombers scored’ six heavy hits on the runway at the Jap-held Lashio airdrome, putting

and starting fires visible for 60 miles. Moving out from their Baung: We Buthidaung line, where they had thrust 30 miles into Burma, Wavail's forces drove ahead along a front of about 20 miles between the co 3 and the Mayu river toward Aky: hb, the important Japanese-held por re 60 miles to the south.
