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..

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. It is already evident" that
German casualties within the as
sault area are far heavier than
ours. ,
