ESCAPES ALLIED SEARCH
Believed to k ve made Landings (Special to N.Z. Press Assn.) (Rec. 9 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 1. The bad weather over the Southwest Pacific area is of greater service to the Japanese than to the Allies. General MacArthur’s reconnaissance planes have been continuing their search for the enemy convoy of four merchantmen and two destroyers which was attacked by a single bomber last Saturday. 'f'ne planes haxje been unable to locate the convoy along the North New Guinea, coast.
The belief is now growing that the convoy has succeeded in landing reinforcements and supplies for the enemy’s Wewak garrison, under cover of heavy cloud, and has since withdrawn to its base.
