Disclosure that fighter planes as well as transports were using a Tadji airstrip, four miles from Eitap, came as the troops moved to within striking distance of the village and closed in on the three airfields at Hollindia. Use of the new field gave the ground forces their first effective support from fightier craft. Pre vious air bases on New, Guinea "were below the Allied lines south of Madang and at least 300 miles , from the New beachhead. Front dispatches said American Ameri-can and-Australian fighter planes and cargo ships landed at Tadji only 48 hours after the first wave of American troops landed on the Aitape beaches. The strip wafs one of tne three Tadji airfields! seized by U. S. troops, soon after the landing Sat urday. The veteran jungle fighters fight-ers reached the approaches to Aitap village after crossing the mouth of the Raibu river.

Opposition Slight Opposition was described f by an Allied spokesman as slight at all points in the Hollandia sector with: a very minor number of Japanese killed. A possible explanation for the lack of enemy opposition in the area was contained in a communique commu-nique by Adm. Chester W.
