AT A TTH A. A. F. LIBERATOR BASE Somewhere in the Marshalls, April 1 (Delayed) (U. P.).=-An Indiana nose gunner on a bomber did his part in the fifth moonlight raid on the sleepless Jap base at Truk last night. 8S. Sgt. Paul A. Lester, 22, la Fontaine, traded fire with a diving Zero. : “I guess the Zero had us silhouetted between the : half-moon and the fires of Dublon town, which was our target,” Lester said. “Someone called on the interphone that a plane was diving toward us. “I saw him coming, then I saw two pink streaks of light.

Opposition Slight

The ineffectiveness of Japanese defense measures against American night raiders must be posing a tough problem to the garrison which after 28 months of bombproof security is undergoing sleepless nights and workless days as Central and Southwest Pacific airmen hammer Truk by sunlight and moonlight. During clear weather and in thé

{fifth night raid, in the last four consecutive nights, and were amazed to find no opposition from anti-aircraft guns. Occasionally a searchlight came on, but it would snap off after less than a minute of probing the sky. Then came the reason. Japanese night fighters were in the air, But the American raiders suffered no losses and the Japanese found

ALES BLAST Ip PLANES ON GROUND

By UNITED PRESS Allied bombers, attacking Japanese air bases along a 1700-mile front from the Marshalls to New Guinea, destroyed 13 enemy planes at Wewak, and Australian troops today were reported only nine miles from Bogadjim, Japanese seaport on the northern New Guinea coast. American Liberators, which have been carrying the weight of an offensive to smash Japan's air power on New Guinea, dropped 208 tons of bombs on Wewak Tuesday, ere all but two of the enemy planes seen on the ground there. Anti-aircraft defenses were silent and no enemy fighters attempted to stop the attack, the 19th on Wewak in less than a month. In the ground operations, 216 miles south of Wewak, the Australian troops, advancing through the Mintjim valley, passed through Kwato seizing a motor park and 30 trucks. There was no mention of further operations on Truk, hig enemy base
