MAC ARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, HEAD-QUARTERS, Australia, Dec. 23 C.E) Desperate Japanese resistance resist-ance continued today in the Buna area of New Guinea as two allied al-lied forces came within a mile of closing pincers now biting through the enemy's remaining Buna beach head. The allied communique said Australian Aus-tralian and .American forces engaged en-gaged in the operation were making mak-ing relatively slow progress because be-cause of the intricate, thoroughly prepared positions of the enemy. It was revealed that Gen. Douglas Doug-las MacArthur's units moving against the -other important Japanese Jap-anese beach head at Sanananda had advanced half a mile down the truck -road from Soputa and that American troops were in action with Australians in the Amboga river area west of Gona, where the mopping up is in progress. It was said authoritatively that tenacious Japanese resistance in the isolated coastal toe-holds and the frequent efforts to land new forces indicated an enemy intention inten-tion to stretch the New Guinea campaign out as long as possible, to prevent the complete occupation which must precede an ultimate attack on New Britain island, the key base upon which the entire Japanese position in the north Australian area depends.
