One force is only 12 miles from its objective and the other is 30 miles awav. About 900 Jans hold that area, but as they are in the jungles, hiding in trees and foxholes, a slow, systematic movement is being made against them. The official re- port said the advance is “slow but sure.” i One by one and sometimes in small groups the Japs are being killed. At one point they have been pursued deep into the juntles. A Tokye broadcast, heard here today, said that a naval hattle is raging between th> Japs and the Americans off the Solomons, All kinds of ridi- culous claims are being made by the Japs, similar to those that were broadcast about their defeats in other naval battles in the southwest Pa- cific. Allied headquarters has not issued any news about any such battle, or made any comment of the Jans’ extrava- gant claims.
