"disappeared," the businessman
who thought his beautifully spot

Marine Action
In Solomons
"Mopping up"
By C. YATES McDANIEL
GEN. MacARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS, Austra
lia, Friday, Aug. 21 (AP)
Allied bombers scored hits on
the target area of Maobisse
in the center of Japanese-held
Dutch Timor Thursday and
"large explosions indicated
that fuel or ammunition
dumps have been hit, a com
munique announced Friday.
"AH our planes returned," it
added.
This attack followed Wednes
day's attack on Japanese - war
ships at Faisi, a Solomon island
port 350 miles northwest of Tula
gi where US marine operations
are centered.
A headquarters spokesman here
said that no inference should be
drawn from the lack of activity
in the northeastern sector, the
New Guinea-New Britain area.
Japanese allied troops still
face each other In Kokoda area,
midway between Gona and the
allied base ef Fort Moresby,
although there have been no re
cent clashes. Allied reconnais
sance continues over the entire
northeastern sene.
Tokyo radios were silent- Fri
day as they have been for almost
a week about the fate of Jap
anese forces .which fought' the
American landings in the Tulagi
and Guadalcanal areas. . . '
But Japanese-Controlled radio
stations throughout southeast Asia
maintained a blare of victory
propaganda which concentrated on
taunting the allies for disclosing
the "crushing magnitude of their
naval losses."
Falsi is near Bougainville, a
strong Japanese base at the north
ern tip of the Solomons. It was
the first hint that Japanese naval
units might be reforming for a
renewed assault on Vice Admiral
Robert Lee Ghormley's fleet,
which chased the Japanese war
ships from Tulagi in the opening
hours of the Solomon offensive.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2t-(A5)
United States marines were pnt-
ting a period one phase of the
battle in the Pacific Thai
by "mopping op" remnants ef
' Japanese forces on islands In the.
Solomon archipelago which the
navy officially reported as "cap
tured." The operations apparently were
confined to those forces left
stranded when Japanese warships
were i destroyed or forced to with'
draw . ,
The navy said that while the
leathernecks were busy , with this
task, Japanese aircraft, destroyers
and submarines engaged in a cas
ual . bombardment of the newly
won shore positions. They Inflict
ed only minor damage,' but a Jap
anese destroyer " or cruiser was
bombed and set afire by American
aircraft.
Thus, the navy's first communi
que in three days on the offensive
in the Solomons brought word that
it was continuing with uninter
rupted success. It also brought
evidence corroborating the general
assumption that the marines have
installed themselves in positions
from which they will not easily be
dislodged. .--

By DREW MIDDLETON
A SOUTHERN BRITISH
PORT, Aug. 20 (AP) The
smashing allied triumph over
the German air force over
Dieppe in which 269 enemy
craft were destroyed or dam
aged will force the nazis to
divert bombers and fighters
from the Russian front to
western Europe, qualified ob
servers said Thursday night.
These observers, who must re
main anonymous, declared i the
German losses consisted of 81
planes certainly destroyed, 38
probably shot down and 140 dam
aged. The "mounting strength of the
RAF and the United States army
air corps plus the new assurance
won at Dieppe by Canadians
and British commandos and US
rangers make It imperative for
the Germans to strengthen the
western ir frontier, it was said.
Analysing the allied moves in
, the Dieppe raid, It was clear
'that the British and Canadians
made the greatest prorresa . en
the left flank where they de
stroyed a six-Inch battery.
After a partial success the al
lied ; force was checked in the
center while on the right rem
nants of the . original landing
party were . partly able by skill
and ingenuity to put another six-
inch battery out of action.
Nevertheless, the German coast
al defenses showed the enemy has
the wind up, and valuable ex
perience and information were
gained by the allies in the cen
ter, where the blow was aimed
at the heart of Dieppe.
The Germans stiffened that po
