JAPS ATTACKED AGAIN
MELBOURNE, June 11. Allied activity over enemyoccupied New Guinea continues. Today's headquarters communique says: "Four Zeros' attempted to intercept one of our reconnaissance units over New Guinea. One enemy plane was shot down. "Allied aircraft attacked an aerodrome at Rabaul, starting fires in the building area." The Australian Air Minister, Mr. A. S. Drakeford, announced that experienced Australian pilots had returned from overseas and had been posted, to key points in Australia. Their return boded ill for the Japanese, he said, as they were grimly determined to shoot the invader from the skies, to sink his ships, and blast his bases. ~
