Night Bombing
The Japanese, it was revealed
In delayed dispatches from the
U. S. fleet In the South Pacific,
released today, made their first
night bombing attack on Amer
ican surface vessels in the
Guadalcanal area after dusk
January 29, but the results were
not disclosed.
The dispatches said the enemy
airmen dropped mysteriously
out of the night sky while a
unit of the southwest Pacific
fleet was cruising near Guadal
canal. The night bombing took place
last Friday, the date' on which
the Tokyo radio said Japanese
planes had started attacks on
American battleships and cruis
ers which resulted in the sink
ing of two battleships and three
cruisers off Rennel island.
MacArthur Busy
Naval spokesmen here said the
Japanese claims were "grossly
exaggerated" though it was
known that both sides had suf
fered losses in the skirmishes in
the Guadalcanal area.
Like angry hornets, the bomb
ers of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
command . continued to harass
and distract the enemy by raid
ing his bases on New Britain
and Bougainville islands.
