Yank Fliers Use Peleliu Airfield PEARL HARBOR, Sept. 2H.— (UP) Land-based fighters from newly-conquered Peleliu have joined the growing allied aerial campaign in the Philippines theater, where Southwest Pacific bombers rained new blows on Mindanao and carried out a 3,000-mile round-trip raid on Java, it was disclosed today. Beginning of aerial operations from the big airdrome on Peleliu was revealed in a communique which announced that Corsair fighters strafed the northwestern area of a Babelthuap Island in the northern Palaus Tuesday. (The Japanese Domel news agency, in a wireless dispatch reconled by FCC, said 100 American planes raided the Palaus Tuesday, concentrating mainly on Koror Island near Bebelthaup.) The mission w T as the first from Peleliu, where U. S. marines and army troops have gained complete control with the exception of two small Japanese pockets on rugged UVnurbrogol mountain and at the northeastern tip of the 12-squarc mile island. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said the two pockets were being steadily attacked and also disclosed that the count of enemy dead on Peleliu and nearby Angaur now totaled 8,537. While Nimitz’s forces pushed the Peleliu campaign toward a conclusion, (Jen. Douglas MaCArthur’s allied bu«iibets intensified their strikes on the'Philippines and the protective bases as far to the south as Java. The 3,000-mile round-trip flight to Java probably tly 1 longest ever made in the Southwest Pacific theater was made Sunday by Austral-ia-based reconnaissance planes. They strafed Japanese buildings in the Batavia area for their first assault

on tne Javanese eap-tal. Other bombers from MacArthur'3 command again swept over Mindanao and Celebes, 200 miles south of the Philippines, in a series of raids during tl*e weekend. Three more Japanese freighters were sunk and five planes destroyed. In the raid on Mindanao, patrol planes hit Duvao and Zamboanga, destroying or damaging five enemy barges. Army Liberators and Lightnings and navy Catalinas joined in a series of raids during the weekend on Celebes Island, to carry the neutralization campaign into the 23rd day. Nimitz’s bombers also continued tli steady attacks on enemy bases in tie central and north Pacific. Truk and Ponape in the Carolines and Wake Island were bombed Sunday; Paramushiro in the Kuriles and Iv. ■/ Jima in the Volcanoes on Monday and Marcus Island. 1,000 miles southeast of Tokyo, on Tuesday.
