TFar Passes Port Moresby as Allies Carry Fight to Japs By MUHLIN SPENCER " : (Substituting for Kenneth U Dixon) PORT MORESBY,' New Guinea, June MSVPort Moresby has come to the end of the road.. Its lusty, brawling days are over. The war has passed it by. . , " ' Port Moresby was fighting for its life when I saw it first one sultry October day in 1942. The Japanese were on the Kokoda trail although they were turning back -after driving to within 32 miles of this Papuan village. uen. uougias MacArthur was building . up Port Moresby as his No. 1 base, the only point "from which he could send his bombers and fighters out to meet the ene my, It was a man's world and only men had a place in it Their show ers stood along Jhe roadside, open and public. They shoveled and graded and scooped great air fields out of the red dirt in the valleys and buCt huts and dis persal areas among the trees. They erected barbed wire en tanglements . along the beaches. They were ready to defend it to the last man, Port Moresby was the last barrier before Australia. Each night they gent out hand- fuls of Flying Fortresses to loose their bombs on RabauL They ev en dropped bombs in the volcanic craters at Rabaul in the hope they could start an eruption, but no thing happened; Sometimes Port Moresby, would have no warning, and when the Japanese attacked, their bombs would- be falling before anyone knew they were there. No black out was- imposed except when bombers were overhead. Then master - switch was pulled. The lights went on the minute the en emy left Then came the Buna campaign, and women. That was the first real change the arrival of wo men. The roadside showers and latrines were fenced in and men no longer could walk around as they pleased, with or without clothes. The Buna campaign brought se curity to Port Moresby. It gave the US army air force and the Royal Australian air force a new base at Dododura, with the tow ering Owen Stanley mountains.no longer serving as a barrier to help the Japanese. It was a base from which the Mitchells and Bostons and Ma rauders r the medium bombers and attack planes could go out more easily against the Japanese. It took the heat off Port Moresby. The arrival of the women, nur ses both American and Austra lian brought a measure of ci vilization to this once "no-wo man's land." And the Red Cross girls" cam and more .. planes and mare men,;-entf. Moresby reached its peak.j.- -v . ; You can't put 'your finger', on the exact day it began to slip. It was barely noticeable, because when one bomber group left to establish a base elsewhere an other arrived to take its place. It Is different now. One no long er looks into the sky at the sound of a Diane to wonder whether it is ours or theirs. One no longer goes down to the huge, smooth fields to watch the bombers take, off and then return later to watch them come in and count to see if all are mere..

HUSS BepresenUftf the Combined ' , American Press - ; Distributed bj the Associated Press ABOARD THE BRITISH CRUISER SCYLLA, June .-(De layed)-Six hours after jumping ashore, British and Canadian troops operating in this area of the French coast officially report ed: that all objectives had been reached despite a tough fight By 2 p. ul, they were marching ?" inland to their next goals. Early reports of returning sol diers indicate the Germans used field, artillery and machine-guns In an attempt to repulse the beach landings. They concentrated re sistance in this area round the : coastal towns, with mines of all sorts proving one of the worst ob stacles. - : ; ' . i A British destroyer struck mine ahead of us and was lost Some land batteries were cap tured intact Others were found wrecked as a result of the com bined blasting from the sea and air.
