RAID BY JAPANESE
Australian Mainland (Received September 29, 11 p.m.) SYDNEY, September 29. The Japanese Air Force made its heaviest raid on the Australian mainland for some weeks on Monday, when 25 planes bombed and strafed Drysdale Mission, on the most northern tip of Western Australia. General MacArthur’s communique reports only minor damage and casualties. Apart from Darwin, which has been raided 61 times since Japan entered the war, the enemy this year has attacked three Australian coastal centres —Exmouth Gulf, Broome and Onslow. There was no damage or casualties in any of the three centres.
