PATROL ACTIVITY IN BURMA
(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, June 26. Allied patrols have been active in the Chin hills, Burma, thrusting deep behind the westward limit of the Japanese positions and embarrassing Japanese communications, according to an Allahabad message. The Japanese seem confined to this area to which they moved up last month, probably with the object of occupying the Chin hills as monsoon quarters and to secure the left flank of their upper Burma defences against raids. These objects, says the message, have not been achieved, and the Japanese are now halted. A Delhi communique states that American heavy bombers on Friday attacked widespread targets in Burma. Railway installations and buildings at Monywa, Ywtaung and Mandalay were damaged and the radio station at Diamond Island was strafed. All the planes returned.
