ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Southwest Pacific, May 5. «**»
—U. S. troops extended their control of , the Humboit Bay
area with two new landings on the Dutch New Guinea
coast in a move to cut the escape routes of Japanese trap-
ped in the region, it was announced today...
A communique by^Gen. Douglas MacArthur disclosed
west of Hollandia, and<«t Demtar% miles west of Tanah-
.. merah bay, last Friday—six
days after an allied force
invaded Dutch New Guinea.
110.000 Japs In Trap
“Mopping up continues and
small bands of the enemy In the
surrounding areas ate giving
themselves up to our patrols," the
communique said.
A spokesman said opposition to
the landings was “very lighf and
that only two Japanese were
killed at Demta, the western an-
chor of the new allied front on
Northern New Guinea, stretching
160 miles eastward to Aitape.
Front dispatches estimated that '
60.000 Japanese troops were trap-
ped in the isolated area of British
New Guinea, East of Hollandia,
with allied forces closing in from
both sides.
Japs Reinforce Base "
In the’Aitape area. 125 miles
below Hollandia, a spokesman re-
vealed that a total of 842 Jap-
anese had been killed up to
Tuesday, and it was reported that
the enemy forces were continuing
to withdraw over - inland trails
toward Wcwak, 85 miles to the
cast.
An authority at headq’.arters
believed the Japanese would put
up stronger opposition in the
northwestern section of Dutch
New Guinea, where they were re-
ported strengthening their forces
at Schouten Islands in Goelvink
Bay, 450 miles west of Hollandia, _
with naval aircraft.
Allied bombers have raided the
Geclvink bay bases almost daily
in the past week, and while the
communique did not mention any
new attacks in that area, it dis-
closed further assaults on Wakde

First Of 35,000 Idle
Detroit Workers Return
By United Press
Approximately 1300 workers at
the Republic Aircraft Corp. voted
last night to end a nine-day walk-
out creating the first major break
in a wave of strikes which has
crippled production in 23 win-
plants in the Detroit area and
idled more than 35,000 employes.
Meanwhile a controversy be-
tween War Labor Board and the
Foreman’s Association of America,
an independent 'union seeking
WLB recognition, spread to an
additional 19 plants.
Vital war production was tied
up in four plants of the Ford Mo-
tor Company of Canada. Ltd,, in
Windsor, OnL, and nine in the
Detroit aria. WLB baek-to-work
orders apparently had little effect
upon the 2500 foremen who struck
in the new dispute. An addition-
al 6500 workers were forced into
idleness as a result of the fore-
men’s walkout.
At the same time, ‘25 per cent
of the 3500 striking workers at the
Kelsey-Hayncs Detroit plant re-
turned to their lobs. Some 300
stewards at the Ford plants an-
nounced they will hold a mass
meeting today "to take direct ac-
tion to settle the walkouts."
Normal production of tankers
