ALLIED PATROLS ACTIVE
OPERATIONS IN BURMA ENEMY COMMUNICATIONS ATTACKED London, June 26. Allied patrols have been active in the Chin Hills in Burma, thrusting deep behind the westward limit of Japanese positions along the Fort White-Kalemyo road, embarrassing Japanese communications, according to an Allahabad message The Japanese seem confined to this road, to which they moved up last month, probably with the object of occupying the Chin Hills as monsoon quarters and to secure their left flank for their upper Burma defences against raids These objects, says the message, have not been achieved, and the Japanese are now halted. A communique states that American heavy bombers yesterday attacked widespread targets in Burma, railway installations and buildings at Monywa Ywtaung and Mandalay were damaged and a radio station at Diamond Island was strafed. All the planes returned. —P.A.
