Japanese on ridges and in caves, while the Am- ericans were attempting to move |west along the shore road to Mok- mer on Biak, one of a group cf lislands in Geelvink Bay, Dutch New Guinea, which has two other airfields desired by the invaders. The invaders are pushing toward | Borokoe airdrome, a few hundred yards west of the hard won Mom- ker coral strip, which fell at 11 ja. m Wednesday Support From Sea The Yanks made their way slow- = ly over the same line of ridges from which the Japanese earlier poured down machine gun. and mortar fire. Warships and planes supported the attack. The enemy apparently had massed strength on the coastal road, expecting the | Yanks to resume the drive there. Allied planes bombed all avail- able enemy fighter bases to pin air opposition which has been persist- ent since the May 27 landing ap- | lowed the example of Edward S.
