QUIET DAY
BAD WEATHER CAUSES LULL IN SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC. AIR & PATROL ATTACKS ON MUBO (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, April 27. Yesterday was the quietest day for months in the South-West Pacific war, according to General MacArthur’s communique today. Bad weather over the Coral Sea and the entire northeastern sector caused a lull. Practically all the missions listed in the communique were carried out by single bombers on armed reconnaissance.
One Flying Fortress was over Übili, Arawe and Gasmata, in New Britain, yesterday afternoon. At Gasmata a radio tower and building were destroyed. Formations of Boston bombers, cooperating with Allied ground patrols, strafed enemy positions on Green Hill, about a mile north-east of Mubo, in northern New Guinea, where a small Japanese force is entrenched.
