"This is our stern assignment this winter. We shall not shirk it." With 10 men to a bomber. more than '1.000 American air men took part in both the Fri day and Saturday raids.

MacAr thur today reported began on Oct. G and was concluded Oct. U. Not a Japanese soldier was seen alive. Among the shell-shattered palms and along the bomb-era-tcred Vila landing strip, how ever, were found cannon pieces, stores of ammunition and other war supplied evidence that the enemy had fled in barehanded desperation from positions which for him long since had lost any practical military value. There, too, were found the wrecks of ten enemy aircraft in miserable testimony to the long and futile labor spent by the Jap anese In trying to tievelop Vila as a base for fighter planes to pro tect their northern Solomons holdings and to escort their bombers on southward runs. The very last of the Japanese did not get away from Kolom bangara, however, until t h e American occupation was well in progress, and they, like thou sands before them, got away only to their doom. A headquar ters spokesman said a PT tor pefTo boat encountered a final bargeload of 29 enemy soldiers otf the Island the night of Oct. S, and sank it. That wrote the end to the Cen tral Solomons campaign begun June 30 with American landings on Rendova island, opposite New Georgia and its Munda airfield, the first big objective. Today, of all the island chain from Guadalcanal north, only loosely-defended Cholseul and the Bougainville group remained in enemy hands.

The capture of Pontelan'dolfo placed the allies astride an ar terial highway which extends westward to the coast and which must he defended strongly if the Germans are to prevent the flanking of their Volturno line. Resorting to tactics employed with e.xlraodinaiy success' in Tunisia and Sicily, the allies sent fleets of bombers as flying ar tillery to blast dozens of enemy gun positions along most of the front. These attacks were directed particularly at a point about five miles north of Capua, indicating the Germans had massed guns there in an effort to prevent any crossing of the Volturno at Cap ua. Balkan Gains Reported Great allied air fleets hammer ed again at the Balkans bringing nearer the day of decisive new invasions. Slashing into German air pow er, the northwest African com mand again pounded at nazi air centers in Greece and islands of the Aegean, and was joined by the RAF from the middle east which delivered new blows upon Rhodes.
