JAPS ADMIT DEFEAT
SYDNEY, June 25. Broadcasting a description of the fighting in New Guinea, Tokio radio admitted that the Allies control the air in that sector. The broadcast gave an eye-witness account of a Japanese defeat by "damned American soldiers" in'the Kumusi River area, in which the Yazawa unit was almost totally lost. "Boeing planes pressed on our soldiers, and the savage, beastly Americans showered down bombs," said the eye-witness. "Enemy planes constantly raided our line. The noise of their motors made it seem as though the heavens were upside down."
