MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 2.— The Australian government moved swiftly today to put into effect secret defense measures decided on yesterday as Australian bombers lashed out again at Japanese forces battling to extend their foothold on New Britain Island in the Bismark archipelago. A communique said Australian airmen had twice attacked Japanese shipping in the harbor of Rabaul, capital of New Britain, but the re- sults were not immediately dis- closed. The Australian Air Force re- ported that Japanese scouting planes had dropped® bombs in the vicinity of Tulagi, in the British- mandated section of the Solomon Islands, some 600 miles southwest | of Rabaul, but said there were no casualties or serious damage.

Indicating the gravity with which he viewed the situation, Prime Min- ister John Curtin, who had just re- turned from Perth, canceled plans to go to Canberra for a session of state premiers so that he might at- tend the advisory council meeting. Mr. Curtin announced that ar- rangements had been made to step up Australia’s warplane production immediately. He said a program had been decided on to increase produc- tion of Beaufort bombers and of a new type of bomber of Australian design $15,000,000 Expenditure. ‘The latter, he said, will be con- structed of parts manufactured al- most exclusively in Australia under a plan involving an initial expend- | Rios held a lead of nearly 56,000, !
